Steal Two (Trinity's POV)
"Hey, you coming with me tonight?" Dark asked me over the phone.
I sighed. "You'll come kidnap me anyway."
He laughed at that. "Yeah, I would."
"Then, I guess I'm going huh?" he didn't answer me. "Dark?" I said his name three more times and still no answer. "Dark?!" he was starting to scare me.
Then, something grabbed my hand, and my waist. "Lets go." it was him. We were flying again. I should've known he'd do something like this. One arm was wrapped around my waist, the other lined up with my arm, his hand in mine. I closed my eyes and tried to steady my racing heart.
"Dark, you really need to stop that." I said.
"And you really should expect that." he said in his usual deep, sexy voice.
"I know."
We stole another statue tonight. We got it from the library down town. He's never really told me why he steals things, so I felt like I should ask. "Dark, why do you steal? Doesn't it ever bother you? Make you feel guilty?" he placed me on the ground.
"Nah. Not at all, although, I probably shouldn't bring you along. I don't want to get you in trouble." he winked.
I thought I was going to fall over from shock. "You're just now caring about that?!"
"Well, no..."
I shook my head. "Unbelievable." I pointed at him. "Well, you can't get rid of me now!"
"I don't want to 'get rid of you'." he replied laughing at me. "But the cops are catching on, maybe you should just stay at home for the next couple of missions. Okay?"
"Fine. Don't bother visiting me, I'll be busy." I threw my head to the side, sticking my nose up in the air. "Hmph."
"Busy? Is that right?"
"Yes."
"With what?"
"I'm planning to call a friend."
"Oh. Is this friend of yours a guy or a girl?" Dark asked.
"Girl."
"Okay." he sounded relieved.
"I'm going home, bye Dark." I was irritated. How could he just dump me like that? He never cared about me getting in trouble before. I stormed off, but I knew he was following. "Stop it." I snorted.
"You're mad."
"No."
"Yeah. You're mad at me."
I turned and flashed him my perfect 'fake smile' "No. Goodnight Dark. I'll see you when I see you." I turned back around. I planned to put extra bounce, attitude in my walk.
"Calm down Trinity. Geez, don't tear my house apart." my friend Koneko demanded. I was pacing around her house.
"Ugh! What's it mean?!" I shouted.
"I'm not sure, but it definitely doesn't help by acting like a psychopath." Koneko scolded me.
I growled. "I'm not a psychopath."
She stuck her tongue out at me. "Then stop acting like one."
I stuck out my bottom lip to pout. "Then, what am I going to do?"
She laughed. "You could try telling me exactly how you feel about this 'Dark' guy."
I nodded and we sat on her bed. I took a deep breath and she leaned toward me, her eyes getting big. She was expecting me to say something juicy, but I disappointed her by saying, "I don't know."
She slapped her forehead with the palm of her left hand. "Trinity..." she snorted. "That's all?"
"Yes."
She shook her head. "I don't understand you at all." I sighed in response.
"I GOT IT!" I jumped up, making Koneko scream.
"WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM?!"
"I've figured him out!"
She rolled her eyes "okay?"
"He's going to meet another girl tonight, possibly replace me" I said pounding the side of my fist down on my palm.
"And if he is? Does it bother you?" she asked.
"Well, not exactly... maybe... I DON'T KNOW!!" I put my hands on top of my head, yanking it back. "Ugh!"
"Well, how long were you planning to be his accomplice anyway?" she asked.
I never really thought about that. "I'm not sure. For as long as he needed me."
"Well, I think it bothers you. I think you like him and maybe he still needs you." she smiled.
"Hm. I don't think he 'needs' anyone."
"Alright, lets go. I am not going to have you moping around my house." she grabbed me by the hand, walking out of her room.
"Where are we going?" I asked when we stepped out of her front door.
"To find him, what else?" she smiled.
"I don't know if we should..." I said shakily. 'Does he even want me around? What if he is replacing me...' I couldn't stop the thoughts, it made me want to scream. "I bet she's pretty." I stopped in my tracks, letting go of Koneko's hand.
"Huh?" Koneko asked.
"The girl he's with. The girl he's replacing me with. Hopefully she won't be as clumsy and hard- headed as me." I laughed at the last part.
"You better stop that before I smack you. Trinity you shouldn't do that to yourself." she frowned.
"I was probably just a tag-along to begin with. I was never any help, always knocking into stuff, doing opposite of what he asked me to do..." I let myself trail off.
I heard a low rumble coming from Koneko, she was growling? "Oohh, when I find Dark I'm going to... "
"Koneko?" I looked at her. She was getting angry.
"I'm going to... " she balled her hands up into fists.
"Going to what?" Dark's voice echoed through the trees.
Koneko lost it. "IS THAT YOU?! DARK?"
"Yeah, what of it?" he asked.
"YOU'RE THE ONE MAKING MY TRINITY TALK BADLY ABOUT HERSELF?! GET YOUR ASS OUT HERE! YOU BETTER BE GLAD SHE HASN'T CRIED YET!!" she shouted.
"Um, Koneko, it's okay. I'm fine." I smiled and put a hand on her shoulder.
Dark laughed. "So... what's your purpose? What do you want from me crazy?"
She growled again.
"Dark, stop it, don't taunt her like that." I begged him.
"Why? I'm having fun Trinity." he laughed.
"I TOLD YOU TO GET OUT HERE!" Koneko pointed at a spot in front of her.
"Koneko... " I whispered. "Please, I'm okay. Let's go back to your house okay?"
She calmed down. "No. Not until I kick his ass."
Another laugh roared through the quiet of the night. Dark finally stepped out and faced Koneko. "Give it your best shot."
Her eyes got wide. "Your... Phantom Dark." she turned to me. "You've been hanging out with Phantom Dark, the thief?! I can't believe I missed that." she was referring to his name. "Dark. Phantom Dark..."
I looked down at the ground.
"So, you aren't going to do anything to me?" Dark asked playfully.
"No she's not." I answered. "I am."
"Trinity?" Koneko said.
