Two near identical figures burst through the door accompanied by their cousin at a much calmer pace. So what if the feathers were really no cause to worry? They had to tell their mother! And father! And grandparents! And great grandfather! Of course, they would tell the whole family! Why wouldn't they?
"Emiko! Mother! Father! You won't believe what-"
Well this was new. The entire family was not only staring at the TV screen, something that rarely occurred all at once, but Kei's parents were here as well, and all eyes were glued to the screen- naturally, the twin's gaze was pointed there as well. On the screen was a red brick building with black ants crawling all over it- oh, they were only people. There was a reporter on the scene, and contrary to the grim and puzzled mood of those around her, this bright eyed reporter was absolutely up the wall ecstatic.
"Last night, there was a break in at the City Police Station. There is no sign of forced entry, nor is there any clue as to the identity of the thief. The only damage done was a camera had been disconnected form the system, recording no film of the entry into the records room. This must have been one brainy thief, because it seemed the only thing done was a thumb through of the files in storage. What kind of person does that? Either a bookworm, or a fan, as the file, left out with possible intent of a warning, was the compendium of knowledge on the Great Phantom Thief Dark! What was the purpose of research on thief who's been missing for 20 plus years? Or, as is in great speculation, is it Dark himself? I'm here talking with police chief- "
The screen went black. Daichi was perfectly able to press the power button even in his old age. There was a thick silence. The entire family knew it couldn't have been Dark, but why was someone reading his file? Nyoko moved to shake it off, and was mostly successful. She smiled a bit. "Well, that pales in comparison to our news…"
Shortly, and by short, I mean about three seconds, all attentions were on her ,politely and inquiring a bit forcedly about what news she brought. Dai picked up fro mthere however. "There's a new girl in our class today-"
"-just moved up." Inserted his eager twin. Keiji picked up the a bit here to fill in before his cousins took off. "She had an interesting choice in accessories.." The twins whipped themselves into a frenzy fro mthat, cries of black and white, feathers, wrong, and glowing emerged from the verbal wreckage. All continued until Kosuke finally put a hand over both mouths.
"Ai-Ai-Ai… you two would go on forever if we let you." A couple eager nods before Emiko pieced it all together. "So, the new girl at school had an interesting pair of earrings. Feather that seemed to glow, and one was white, and one was black?" Vibrant, yet thankfully silent nods. Emiko gave it a bit of a shrug, as did the other adults in the room.
"Teenagers."
"They're probably in style."
"Don't worry about it dears."
"Nothing dangerous."
The last statement from his mother none the less drew Keiji's attention the most. Nothing dangerous. Could they be sure? Photographic memory supplied an image. Scrutiny of miss Tamae came under light, and as he was about to pronounce his instinct incorrect, a thin line of a shimmering metal appeared just along the inside of the uniforms collar. A warning bell went off. There was more to the set than just earrings..but what dangled on the chain around her neck, he idly mused. Something of importance? Or an idle trifle? His gut implied the first, but his logic, and his trust in the adults in his family led him to discard it- thought, girl, and premise. Nothing to worry about, therefore, why dwell on it. But something, which he buried deep inside, was not sure. But surely, nothing bad could befall the Niwa and Hikari families now, not after peace had been made. Surely. The idea was dismissed, but a bit of that lingering, negative, biting feeling remained, nipping at Kei's conscience.
