A Surprised Guest
Toumyo yawned as she leaned against the counter at the cafe, Moon Glen. Her auburn eyes matched her hair as some of her bangs fell in her face. A sigh came from her as it had been a long day. The cafe would be closing in another hour, and she couldn't wait. She looked around and saw that no one was at her tables. Yawning, she covered her mouth as she still leaned against the counter. Her hand went into a pocket on her apron where she pulled out a small notebook and a pen. Looking at the blank paper, she thought about what she could write. For Toumyo was always a poet, but she never let anyone read her work. The young woman was ashamed by it. She felt as if it wasn't worth reading to anyone. Toumyo cleared her throat before looking up once again. Her warm face looked at the door as the bell rang. Once again, she put on a fake smile, like she always did, and stood up straight, welcoming them to the cafe.
The violet haired man simply nodded and walked to a table which happened to be one of hers. Although he held a smirk on his face as he took note of her beauty, he said nothing at the time. He wore a black cap to hide his identity for he was a wanted man after all. His purple eyes watched her walk over to the table. He straighten his button up white and blue striped shirt, which happened to have the first button undone, showing that he had a rather nice build. He noticed the outfit was similar to Riku's and Risa's uniforms for school. Again, that smirk would stay put on his face as he watched her. Both of his hands were on the table as he waited for her to ask what he wanted. "Coffee." he said, without looking up at her.
She nodded and was rather shocked that he wanted coffee this late in the evening. Toumyo walked back behind the counter and began to fix his black coffee. She came back to his table with that same smile as before. "Here you are, Sir." she said, setting it down. Her eyes showed some sadness, but they always would.
"Thank you. Would you care to join me?" he asked, his old tricks showing again. He took note of how her eyes were but didn't say anything.
She frowned as she looked at the clock. "Well, I should be getting off soon. I shall join you then." she said, smiling once again to this mysterious man in front of her. She couldn't see his eyes, and the way he acted just drew her in. Little did she know what she was about to get herself into.
He only nodded and took a sip on his hot coffee and merely waited for her to return when she could. His eyes, however, would watch her as the news began to show pictures of him on TV. The man lowered his head even more as he didn't want anyone to find out who he was. All the while, he wanted to know more about the beautiful girl that had been his waitress. He could hear her sigh as she obviously didn't want to listen to anything about The Phantom Thief. He felt his heart sink as he heard her comments about him. After a few more minutes of that article on the TV it changed to something else, and her attitude changed once again.
Toumyo then walked over and sat at the table with him. "We will be closing soon, just to let you know." she said, relief coming over her as she was happy that this day was over. Although according to her, everyday was always the same. The same boring people with the same boring lives. She wanted excitement and adventure. Now, this man had come into her world, he might be able to give it to her.
He nodded. "Thank you, I will not keep you long. I just wanted your company while I was enjoying this fine coffee."
She could feel her heart skip a beat. Toumyo didn't understand why. She didn't know this man at all. Pressing her lips together, she just waited for him to speak once more. He was so intriguing that she wanted to know more about him.
The violet haired man didn't look at her directly. He couldn't afford someone to find out who he really was at the moment. "How rude of me. I haven't introduced myself. The name is...Daisuke." he said, taking a moment to take the name from a 'companion' to put it politely.
"Nice to meet you, Daisuke. I am Toumyo." she said, bowing her head some. "It is nice to meet you."
"Toumyo, what a lovely name." he said, working the charm of course. That was his job.
She blushed some as she looked at her hands. Biting her lower lip, she then smiled. Not everyday did someone come in and compliment her this much. "Thank you." she managed to get out.
The violet haired man watched her actions as he couldn't help but sneak glances at her every now and then. He couldn't believe her beauty, but there was something familiar about her. He just couldn't place his finger on it. Thoughts of who she could be filled his mind as he sat there. Daisuke cleared his throat as he slightly tilted his head up some so that she could see his lower part of his face. He smiled as he heard a slight gasp from her. "I was only speaking the truth. However, you look-" he was cut off by her boss calling for her to clean the counter.
"I shall be back." she said, leaving a piece of paper on the table which happened to be a completed poem from a few months prior. She went about finishing up her work, and then came back. Sitting down with a sigh, she looked at him again, trying to get a glimpse of what he looked like. "You were saying?"
"Oh yes, well I was wondering something. It says that there is a poetry reading here tomorrow. Can anyone enter?"
Toumyo laughed. "Yes, anyone can. A coworker has decided that I should read a few of mine. I am kinda nervous." she said, wondering why she was being so open. Her family had always taught her to keep her mouth shut about feelings to anyone that was outside their family.
"You will do fine." he said reassuringly.
All that she could do was smile. "Well, I suppose that if that thief Dark can do something as stupid as perform an act of thievery, then I can get up there with ease." she said, wanting to best the Phantom Thief at everything. "I shouldn't be to nervous. You are right. I mean how hard can it be to get up in front of people? If Dark can do it, so can I." she said, determined now more then ever.
He frowned some. "What do you have against Dark?"
"Against him? He stole works of art from the Hikari's, that's what."
"Why would that matter to you unless you were a Hikari."
She clenched her brown skirt under the table. How dare he be so nonchalant about this! Her auburn eyes narrowed as she looked at him. "That art is very valuable, and it is worth more then most art on the face of this earth. You understand little." Indeed this had upset her, but it was like she appreciated art and was upset that it was being stolen and for that, Daisuke smiled.
"I think you under estimate how much that I do indeed know." he said, looking up a little to see that look on her face.
A sigh came from her. "Never mind. I just get so worked up when people talk about him. I didn't mean to be rude."
"It is how you feel. Passionate people who speak how they feel are something that I admire." he said, that calm smirk appearing once again.
A smile came from her before she looked at the clock. They would be closing in 10 minutes. She looked back at him and hoped that he would return. Having a mysterious man in here would make things a lot more interesting and not the same boring thing over and over. A distant look came to her when she looked at him. A million things went through her head as she sat there. He could be a bank robber or a killer. Or he could be a millionaire or a scholar. Who knew? She would just have to find out.
"Excuse me, I don't mean to be rude, but you look so familiar. May I ask your last name?" he asked, taking another sip from his coffee.
Toumyo frowned. She wasn't taking to him wanting to know her last name, but yet she couldn't help but blurt it out. "Hikari. Toumyo Hikari."
It was in that moment, that he dropped the glass, and his eyes grew wide. 'No, not another one. But this one seems different then the other one. I can't put my finger on it.' he thought as he stood up. Backing away from her, he stumbled over the chair and fell down. This caused the hat that he had to fall onto the ground close to the table.
Toumyo smiled as she kneeled down to pick up the pieces of broken glass. She told him that it was alright, but then the few customers that were leaving gasped as they saw what had happened. Looking up to see if he was injured, she saw the violet hair, and her own eyes widened. After a few moments, she frowned. He had lied to her. Carefully, she stood up with the broken glass in her hand. Smiling sweetly, she looked at him. "Have a good night, Dark." She hissed between her teeth. The young woman then turned on her heel and walked to the back to put the glass the trash. When she returned, he was no longer there.
Dark couldn't believe the events that had just happened, but no matter what, he wanted to see her once again. He couldn't help that the attraction had been there from the beginning, and he wasn't about to stop now. His eyes looked to his hand where he had picked up once of her pieces of paper. He read over the small, yet beautiful poem. It was sad to know that she had written a part of her on this paper, and that he couldn't tell her what he thought of it.
All alone I stand here, in the dark.
I look through the window to see a small light.
But that light is can't be reached, and I can no long get to it.
So I shall be without a light for a little longer.
For now, I must wait for those black wings to set me free.
As he read it, he looked back at Moon Glen. He would be back for the poetry, but under a different guise. For she was proving to be more mysterious then any woman he had ever met. His hair blew in the wind as he jumped up and called his 'wings' to let him fly back to his companion's house. Tomorrow would be a busy day. For he would let a day of no thievery slide, just to see her sad face once again. He would prove to her that he wasn't as bad as she thought he was. At the moment, he didn't care that she was a Hikari. Right now, he wanted to know everything about her.
