The next morning, Daisuke practically ran out of his bed, and into the bathroom. After what seemed like seconds, he flew out of the door, dressed and ready for another day at school. What's the hurry Daisuke? Dark yawned. "I'm going to meet Kiyoko." Daisuke said breathing heavily, as he finally slowled down to a jog. Whatever happened to "I'm going to meet Riku?" I'm telling you buddy, you're really neglecting her.

"I'll see her there anyway. She still has to meet Kiyoko anyway."

On his long winding dash to school, he collided with another body. Daisuke opened his eyes only to realize he was pretty much atop Satoshi. The blue haired boy, pushed him off, hard, and got up upon his feet, brushing himself off. "Good job, Daisuke." Quickly Daisuke stood up himself. Satoshi's face remained calm and collected as he began to walk forward, but then he stopped. Without turning around the slightest bit, Satoshi spoke again.

"Why are you up so early?" Satoshi asked, pushing up his glasses in the process.

"Oh, I was just going to meet Kiyoko-chan." Daisuke said quickly, trying his best to avert the topic. "Hikaru? I don't seee what's so special about her. Afterall, don't you have that Riku girl?" Satoshi turned his back and started walking. The red haired boy ran after him."What do you mean by 'there's nothing special about her'?"

"Simple, there's nothing special about her." Satoshi said coldly. He said this, even though there was to him. "She's just like every other girl out there. An annoying nuisance that the world could do without." Satoshi continued. By now the two had arrived at school, and the blue haired boy disappeared within the crowd.

Kiyoko-chan is special.. A flash of midnight blue appeared through the crowd, and Daisuke quickly ran towards it. But with no avail. Someone had stepped into his path again. This time though it was..

"Riku.."

Kiyoko walked though the crowd helplessly looking for a familiar face. With no luck, Kiyoko retreated to a wooden bench. She waited and waited, once in a while, the boys would look up and smile, sending a gracious amount of waves. But other than that she reamined alone. "I finally found you."

With a jolt, she spun around, a happy smile upon her face, only to see a strange raven-haired boy holding a camera. Quickly a flash blinded her eyes. "So you're the new girl, Hikaru Kiyoko right?" The boy sat beside her on the bench. "Yes, but who are you?" Kiyoko asked shyly. The boy stared at her unphased. "I'm Takeshi. I'm a photographer." he left out the part 'in training.' "I was wondering, have you ever heard of the phantom thief Dark?"

Kiyoko nodded. "Once or twice." Takeshi smiled. "Well, you may be interested in-"

The bell rang before he could finish. Relieved Kiyoko grabbed her bag and jumped up. "Well, I have to go." She ran, leaving the strange boy sitting alone, surprised.

Satoshi watched as the boy approached Kiyoko. He couldn't help but send a silent and cold glare at the boy. When the bell rang, he strode through the doors among other students. WIthout a thought, his pace quickened as he went up the stairs trying to catch the girl. Carefully, he positioned himself so that it was inevitable for Kiyoko to bump into him. She did, and a smile spread across her face when she looked up.

I understand now Satoshi, are you using this girl as bait to get to that Daisuke boy? Krad smirked within him.

No.

Then what is the point in going out of your weay for this wretched girl? Krad said angrily. All that was ever on his mind was destroying Dark and fufilling his mission anyway. Krad saw no point in things as useless as this.

"Satoshi-kun." a smile spread across the girl's face. A smile also appeared on his, but barely visible. "Hello." he tried in vain to kep his voice aloof as always, but there was something about this girl that broke through all his barriers. Was it her smile? Her mirror like eyes?

She just seemed so magical...

Dark seemingly paced around once again within Daisuke as he spoke to Riku. Emiko, must have planned another heist tonight. She had to! I need to see Ki. "Stop being so restless night." Daisuke spoke silently. I never tell you to stop being so restless when you're on the hunt for Kiyoko now do I?

You can't keep this up Daisuke, you either like Riku of Kiyoko. Make your pick. It will make both of them suffer in the end..

Daisuke averted the subject, putting it off once again. "And yes, mom did send another note. We're stealing the Jade Dragon tonight. Are you happy now Dark? I don't really see anything special about her... Okay maybe there is, but still." That's what I thought.

The day wore on, as Dasuke trudged to lunch, hopefully, there was an awaiting Kiyoko there. A figure appeared form behind him, and Daisuke stopped dead in his tracks. "Daisuke, I finally found you." The figure walked up to his side. Satoshi again. How many times did their paths have to cross a day. Especially when Daisuke was always on his way to meet Kiyoko. "Yes, you found me."

"Well, to get to my point. Dark was at the museum last night to steal the Heart of Heaven. But who was the girl with him named Ki. A new accomplice?" Satoshi held up a picture. Ki.. The photo was of his new arch rival, her essence and beauty captured within one simple photograph. Her body was facing the other direction, but she seemingly turned, her mouth slightly open in a look of mystery. Her small wings were spread out as a few stray feathers floated to the ground. At her side, the vicious held dog stood, as if guarding her. A demon guarding an angel.

Dark's mouth was gaping. Satoshi drew something out of his pocket. He slowly opened his clutched fingers to reveal a single silvery white feather. "And silver white feathers amid the usual black ones? You don't know? She's all over the news." Daisuke shook his head, he had run out quickly this morning, and he still hadn't been able to talk to Kiyoko. "No, she's not working with Dark. She's his new rival." Daisule said bluntly.

"That's all I needed to know. Here." Satoshi handed him the photo and feather and walked off."

Dark seems to take a liking to the girl. Are you thinking what I'm thinking Satoshi?

Yes, bait.

O.o I hope you like his chapter. The next one will be out this evening, so bne on the look out.

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)
