Chapter 2

"Oh my god… Dark Mousy?"

The wild, untamed purple-hair, and the amethyst-colored eyes. No one else had those. Except for one person. The Infamous Phantom Thief, Dark Mousy. She was completely speechless. Dark wasn't real! He couldn't be! He was from the manga and anime, DN Angel!

"Whoa…" she rubbed her eyes, and blinked a few times. "Sorry, I think I just hallucinated…" she said. Dark, however, was still holding his head. His head was throbbing in pain, as if someone wearing high heels just stomped into the side of his skull.

Kaze looked at the Phantom Thief again, blinking a few times. She hadn't hallucinated. It was the Phantom Thief, in the flesh. Letting out a high-pitched scream, she jumped up, hopping around with amazing vigor. "Oh my god! It's really Dark Mousy! It's really him!" she exclaimed.

Her scream echoed through Dark's head, causing the throbbing to get worse. Letting out a groan, he said, "Would you please… calm down?"

"Wow, wow, wow! I can't-" she stopped in mid-sentence. She sat down next to him, eyeing his back. Where were his wings? The wings that made Dark Mousy famous? She supposed With wasn't here, since he transformed into those wings.

Leaning forward, she examined his face. Yup. Dark Mousy. "Aren't you supposed to be in the manga…? DN Angel?" she asked. The pain in his head beginning to go away, Dark let go of his head to look at her. "DN – what?"

Kaze blinked a few times. "DN Angel. You know, the manga." Dark shook his head. What was this girl talking about? DN Angel? And what was… manga? Glancing around, Dark said in his mind, 'Daisuke, where are we?'

No reply.

'Daisuke?'

Still, no reply. Just silence. 'Daisuke!' Dark shouted mentally. The reply that never came made Dark worried. Where was Daisuke? He had been there a minute ago… just before… that light consumed both he and Krad.

…Krad! He'd been fighting Krad! Where was he? He could be anywhere—

He stood abruptly, glancing to the skies, searching for an attacking Krad. No one.

"Where's Krad? Where did he…"

The girl stood. "Y-You mean… Krad is here too!" she let out another high-pitched scream, beginning to dance around again, practically doing cartwheels. Dark looked at the girl like she had lost her marbles. Enthusiastic about Krad? Who would be?

"Can you tell me… where I am?" he asked, his tone sounding amused.

Ceasing her jumping, she looked at him, blinking a few times before answering. "Lake Arrowhead. That," she explained, pointing over to the rather large cabin, "Is my cabin. My parents and I are on vacation here."

She then paused for a moment, then she asked, "How did you… get here? I didn't think you even existed."

Dark frowned. She didn't think he existed? He didn't understand her at all. What did she mean? "I don't know. I was in a fight – with Krad – and there was a flash of light… then, nothing."

She was nodding as he explained, taking in what he had told her. "Um," she said, deep in thought, "I think… you and Krad... maybe used too much magic… or, something. And then… maybe that took you here."

Dark wasn't sure how she knew about magic, in fact, he wondered how she knew. But right now, he wasn't worried about that. He wanted to know what happened to Daisuke, and what happened when he was taken by that flash of light.

Looking down at her clothes, she looked back at Dark. "Erm.. why don't we dry off? We're soaked… you can tell me the rest inside," she said, jerking her thumb toward the cabin. When he nodded in reply, she turned around, walking toward the cabin. They both walked in silence, neither not knowing what to say. As they drew closer to the cabin, Kaze stopped in her tracks. "Um," she began, her back facing him, "There's something… I wanted to say."

Dark smirked. By judging her tone, he supposed she was going to admit her eternal love to him, or something similar. It had happened countless times before. But, to his surprise, she whipped around, slapping him across the face. Hard.

He staggered back in surprise, holding a hand to his cheek, which was turning red from when her palm had collided with it. "What was… that for!" he demanded angrily.

"For being a cold-hearted son of a bitch!" she said, her voice furious. "How could you do that to Risa! You used her, just because she looked like Rika! You probably didn't even love her at all! She loved you more than life itself, and WHAT do you do! You stab her in the back!"

Dark just stared at her, wide-eyed, listening to her as she scolded him. He had no idea what she was talking about. She knew who Risa was? She knew who Rika was?

Hands placed firmly upon her hips, she just stood there for a few moments, glaring at him. Then, with a huff, she turned back around, walking over to the cabin and opening the front door, walking inside.
