It didn't take long for JD to get used to his new home. He was annoying his new caretakers most of the time, mostly Towa. It still wasn't clear where JD came from and no one really cared about that except Dark. Emiko and Towa were the ones who spend time with JD the most. After all they saw him as a small child. For Dark JD was more than an annoying jerk who was trying to grab the spotlight. Meanwhile JD was trying to get attention from him. After all the Dark was the only family member who ignored him. Even Kosuke and Daichi spend more time with him.
One night JD wanted to tease Dark a bit and decided to grab his wing. Unfortunately, it didn't go as planned. Wiz got scared and whined. JD got frightened, he immediately changed into his cat form and snug under the sofa. He didn't knew that Dark was using Wiz as his wings. Dark laugh. "Hey JD, didn't you say that you are brave? You're hiding under the sofa way too often." JD was shaking in fear and had tears in his eyes.
Wiz jumped off Dark's shoulder and went to JD. He soon recovered from the experience and wipe away tears. "What happened to your wings?" JD looked at Dark. Terrified that someone cut them off with was quite common in Mognavia. "If I had used my own wings, it would cost pain to Daisuke. Something you wouldn't care about!" Dark got up and left. Wiz checked on JD and then followed his master. JD was confused. He was wondering what he should to, so Dark wouldn't be mad at him anymore. JD went downstairs, sat down next to Emiko and hugged her. He was still scared. "What have you done to him!" She was mad at Dark. "I stepped on his ego." Said Dark and left.
"Why isn't Dark playing with me?" "You know, Dark spends most of the time with Daisuke. He doesn't have time for you. And he never had someone to rely on him." "I'm not relying on him. I just wanna play!" He was holding Emiko's hand, looking into her eyes. "Don't worry James. I'll speak to him once he gets back. Why don't you go and play with Towa?" She patted him on head.
"Why can Dark play while I'm stuck here? You also forbit me from using magic." Frowned JD. He was still mad at Dark. Towa smiled at him. "It takes time. Soon you'll be old enough to learn about magic and how to use it. You're too young." "I'm 92, that's quite enough." Towa laughed. "For humans! But you're a magical being. It's like you were 11 years old." JD was offended. "Oh come on! Teach me please. I'm not a child anymore, tomorrow I'll be an adult!" Towa chuckled. "Why tomorrow?" "You'll see." Smiled JD. He had an idea.
Emiko tried to change Dark's mind, so he would spend time with his cousin. Unfortunately, she was unsuccessful. "We took in a complete stranger! There's no way it can turn out well. Until we get information about him. He can stay here, but I'm not taking responsibility. It's not my duty to look-out for him.!" Dark didn't understand that he also used to be a stranger for Niwa's as well. ยจ
Next morning JD finished reading books about magic he took to Azumano. He had to make sure, he's not doing any mistakes. After all, getting admiration from Dark is no easy task. He was waiting for evening and luckily for him, Daisuke was home late. "Maybe he should rest for a bit." JD changed into Dark. "It's my turn today!" And went to museum. Daisuke got home about the same time as the news. Everyone was surprised. "I'm going to kill him!" Dark was furious.
JD was enjoying his adventure. Today is the day! Everyone will understand, he's as talented as his cousin. Dark will finally spend time with him. Someone pulled him from daydreaming. There was an angel with long blond hair in front of him. Unlike Dark he seemed to be aristocrat. "Nice to see you again Mousy" Krad gleefully smiled and attacked JD. Fortunately, he was quite quick to dodge it. "You're no angel, you're a god." Krad was confused. It didn't sound like something Dark would say. JD used his magic to blast Krad. "Sorry no snow fights, I control fire." Krad got up quickly and was surprised. There was a young boy with black wings standing in front of him. JD lost his energy and couldn't keep Dark's appearance.
"Who are you?" "My name is James Dark Moringan. I'm from Mognavia. I'm now living here with my cousin." It was a long time ago since Krad was in Mognavia. "What took you here, may I ask?" Krad knew that the child might be helpful. "My mom sent me here. I've decided that I'll improve my magic skills. But Dark is refusing to teach me." He was sure that now is the best time to turn the child on his side. "If you would like to, I could be the one to teach you." Said Krad "You don't have to. Once I'll steal the painting Dark will spend time with me." "Are you sure? If your plan will not succeed, I will meet you in evening tomorrow." JD smiled. "Under one condition. You are not telling anyone about it, especially Dark." "Sure!" JD answered, took the painting and went back to Niwa's house with smile.
The smile on his face disappeared pretty quickly. "How could you do that!" Shouted Emiko at the doors. "Just wait what Dark will say about this!" JD got slapped. Dark was furious. "You're so lucky that nobody caught you! I want answer right now! Have you sealed the painting?" JD was confused. "Sealed? But I was only supposed to steal it, right?" Dark firstly sealed the painting and then looked into JD's eyes. "You're not supposed to steal! Stay at home and stop making troubles!" JD looked at the floor. "I just though that maybe if I steal something, you would like me..." "I would be happier if you left!" Dark left the room.
JD grabbed Emiko by hand but she let it go. "I'm sorry. I just wanted to help. Towa said that Dark doesn't have free time. So I wanted to show I could be a phantom thief as well." But nobody answered him. Kouske ignored him, even Towa wasn't in good mood. JD was upset and decided to knock on doors to Daichi's room. "You can come in." JD carefully open doors. "Are you mad at me too?" He asked "Sit down" JD nervously sat next to Daichi. "Yes, I'm mad, but I understand why you did it. I used to be Dark's host and I know what he can be like. He's not in good mood lately." JD hugged him. "Will he like me?" "Give it time." JD closed his eyes and fell asleep.
