"Really now?" The figure moved slightly, now appearing right below the spotlight that was to be upon the Heart. The first distinctive feature of his new rival, was her beautiful ocean blue eyes that seemed so entranccing to the phantom thief. The mirror like orbs seemingly refected her soul right towards Dark. Her hair was a slate black with streaks of blue woven in between. Blew her left eye, a black whispy design cascaded, broken like the wind. Adorning her neck was a black collar, just as small silver rods with stars at the end, adorned her ears. Over those ears, was a pair of large headphones, dipping so low as to created a subble "u" shpae on the back of her head. "It's also my job to steal priceless works of art also."

A pair of small white wings came from her back, creating a glittering light, as light shimmered upon them. The beautiful girl stepped down from the pedestal, as a large hell-dog approached her side. "Usually, I don't do things like this but.." the mysteriously intriguing girl approached Dark with the heart in her hands. The long white cloak she wore billowed behind her, giving her the affect of floating towards him. Stunned he stood still. The hell-dog followed it's master without the slightest bit of hesitation. The girl was less than an arm's length away as she reached, lifting Dark's chin slightly, pulling him closer. "But since your so handsome, " a smirk appeared upon her face. "You can have the Heart this time. I have no use for it anyway." Dark stood stunned, at her bone-chilling touch.

Carefully, the Heart exchanged hands, as the girl flew back to the pedestal, her face completely lit from the skyline, clearly showing her loveliness. She smiled as she hovered in the light. "Well, Dark, this is where I bid you aidue. Thanks for the memories. Even thought they weren't so great. May our paths cross again." The heavenly figure flew up into the skyline, leaving behind the headphones in place of the Heart. The hell-dog jumped upon the pedestal and jumped up again, miraculously growing dragon wings.

Without thinking, Dark flew towards the girl. "Wait!" The girl stared at him with her ocean like eyes, bearing into him. "Who are you?" Dark struggled to get the words out. "Ki." The word escaped her mouth effortlessly. "Ki?" Dark questioned feverishly. "Key to your heart silly." The girl smiled, as she grazed his cheek with her hand. With that much of a goodbye, she flew off into the moonlight, the dog at her side. Her shilloutte remained in the path of the light, and soon faded away.

"Key to my heart.." Dark whispered to himself, as he slowly placed his hand upon his own. Thoughts of his new rival flooded his mind. There was just something about her. Without so much as another thought, Dark flew baclk through the skyline and whisked the headphones she had left into his hand. Just as he flew up, the room burst with guards in every direction. "Dark Mousy, has stolen the Heart of Heaven!" the guards hollered. Dark could see the glare upon Satoshi's glasses upon his grand escape through the sky line once again, with headphones and Heart in hand.

"I didn't steal it. Someone special gave it to me."

Daisuke and Dark walked into the Niwa household with a prize in hand. Well, Dark would consider it two. Daisuke handed his mother the Heart. "So how did you do? Did you run into that Satoshi again?"

"No, just a girl."

Before Emiko could ask who, Daisuke was already up within his room. Nauturally, he turned on the lamp light and sat up on the newly cleaned bedspread. He studied the headphones for a moment. Put them on, there might be a message. Dark said, trying his best to discover the secret behing the girl. There was just something about this girl. She was just enchanting.

"Fine." Daisuke sighed as he placed theem on. Automatically, they seemed to come alive. Dark tuned himself in feverishly awaiting what was to happen next. Slowly but surely, Ki's soft voice came on. "Tonight the headphones will deliver you the words that I can't say.. Tonight I'm writing you, a million miles away..."

"Tonight is all about "We miss you" (We miss you) "We miss you" (We miss you)
Tonight is all about "We miss you"
And I can't forget your style or your cynicism,
somehow it was like you were the first to listen to everything we said.
My smile's an open wound without you...and my hands are tied to pages inked to bring you back." Ki's voice sang on and on pulling Dark into a sleepless trance..

"I'm drowing all my dreams.."

Dark made it a mission to cross paths with her once again, even if he had to force it..

Kiyko returned to her original self as she plopped down upon the white couch once again. Tired she groggily opened her mouth for a second to speak a mere sentence. "Hideaki, I feel so wasted." The dog who also had changed back, nuzzled his face into her side, cauing her to roll over. Her ice eyes met the dog's red brown eyes, as she seemingly understood every line of thought the dog was trying to send her. "So you're saying, I should hate him, for he is my enemy?"

The dog merely nodded.

I hope you liked this chapter. So their paths finally cross. The three are surely headed for a rocky path. If you're wondering what song Kiyoko/Ki's singing, it's Headphones by Fall Out Boy. I don't know why, the lyrics just go so well with the story.

A preview of what's to come..

"I finally found you."

"Why, why do you torture me so?"

"The heartache hurts so much.. It seems like I have to hold my self together.."

"How could you?"

"You can't change the past."

"Time holds still for no one."

"If you love me as much as you say.."

I'm sorry to inform you, but the quotes aren't always in the next chapter.. But who knows (3)
