Chapter 1:
Daisuke Niwa was sitting on his couch as he waited for the news to come in. Every since Dark left the news hadn't been very interesting but his mother, Emiko Niwa, still wanted him to be a thief so he had to keep track of the artworks like he had before.
Right now there was a soap opera on so he was waiting for it to end. It was one of the very boring so he was relieved when the doorbell rang and gave him an excuse to get up, "I got it!" He said, quickly standing and going after the door.
When he opened it, he found three men standing there waiting, "This is Daisuke Niwa then?" the man in front said to the men behind him, though he said this without looking. They both nodded and Daisuke wondered how they knew. The man who had spoken was obviously British because of his accent.
"What do you want?" He asked cautiously. He was perfectly aware that if he gave even the slightest slip then they would know that he was a thief and would get him arrested, "Is it something about my school?" That was the only other reason he could think of them being there and since he couldn't see their faces it only made him more afraid.
"I am here to talk to you in complete private about something concerning you greatly. I shall not be the one speaking of course. These are my henchmen and this one," The British man said, pointing to the one on his left, "Will be talking to you although you have my permission to know who both of them are. My identity though, will stay completely secret, Dark." This last sentence was said to the man on his left and Daisuke jumped, shutting the door immediately.
"Wait," Daisuke said quietly, "Dark."
The henchmen pulled off his hood and Daisuke and Dark were facing each other. It had been three years since Daisuke had last seen Dark. That was when the black wings had swallowed him and Krad up, "Yes, Daisuke." Dark said, "I'm back and I'm visiting you now. This isn't a dream."
"Dark!" Daisuke couldn't help hugging him, "I had no idea! How did you get out of the Black Wings? And when?"
Dark glanced nervously at the British man who shook his head, "Maybe I'll tell you that story some other time. I can't say everything here. But I can introduce my…" he eyed the other henchman warily, "Well, my…"
"Comrade." The British man said and both Dark and the other man sent him dark looks.
"My comrade then. You know him of course." The man took his hood down and his long blonde hair and gold eyes hit Daisuke with such force and hatred that Daisuke stepped back.
"Krad!" Daisuke said, surprised.
"Yes, it's me." Krad said.
Daisuke turned back to Dark, "Why are you working with him?"
"That's another story I'm afraid I can't tell you, Dai, but tell Emiko and Daiki, and Kousuke as well, that I'm fine and alive. I'm also in good hands and I'll be joining you in thieving as soon as I can. You can also tell Riku and…" Dark paused, "Risa…" Daisuke understood that Dark still had feeling for her and so he nodded.
"Repeat none of this to Hikari-san though." The British man said, "Krad must relay the message to him, personally." He looked at Krad and Krad looked away, "Goodbye then Mr. Niwa. Of course you will see me as who I am. That has already been arranged and then you will soon know, as I will tell you myself who and what I am." The man turned, "Come Dark, Krad."
The three of them left and Daisuke stood there only a moment before running inside.
