….Le Gasp It's been months since I posted my chapter!!!! How'd that happen without me knowing? I'm so sorry for taking forever (damn procrastination…and school, can't forget school.) Well, it's here and ready, so enjoy!

For those odd ones, I don't own anything or anyone from D.NAngel (but I wish I did!). Now enjoy.

When Daisuke, his mother, and Wiz entered their hotel room, Wiz gladly glided to what was now his bed. Daisuke followed Wiz's good plan and flopped onto the couch and soon fell asleep (Jet lag really gets to you!) but of course, Emiko is still full of energy and ready to take on this crazy mission. She sets her bags down on the floor by the closet and opens a giant backpack. All sorts of maps, plans, and history come out of the pouch. She carries the huge pile over to the coffee table by the TV and drops it onto the table. The noise of it slamming onto the table wakes Daisuke up with a jolt.

"No time for sleeping honey, we're on a mission!" Emiko says while unrolling a map of the hope diamond's room, "before we officially go steal it, we should figure out our surroundings. The plan is for the next day or so. We'll scope out the museum and see what we need to avoid or skip." Daisuke just sleepily nods, barley conscious.

"Y-yeah, Of course mom… how big can a museum be?" (If you guys have been in the Museum of Natural history, you know the utter irony of this quote. For those that don't, this museum is so big, you could spend your whole life there and never see all of it!)

"Because you're so tired, we'll go tomorrow, okay?" Emiko says before taking a 'your-a-famous-phantom-thief-you-don't-need-sleep!' kind of sigh.

"Thanks, mom." And that's all that Daisuke says before falling into a deep sleep.

The Next Morning

Now refreshed and ready to go, Daisuke, Emiko, and Wiz headed to the museum with many cameras and maps in hand. After another taxi cab ride they arrived at the museum. Looking at the size of the museum, Daisuke suddenly got second thoughts.

"Hey…umm…mom? I'm not so sure about this mission…"Daisuke looked to his side, where his mom was a second ago, but she wasn't there.

"C'mon sweetie, we don't have all day!" His mom yells from all the way up the steps. Daisuke reluctantly followed. 'Where does she find all of this energy…' he thinks to himself.

He finally met up with his mom at the security check to get inside. They set their backpacks down on the inspection table, and went through the metal detector. The security guards approved of the contents in their bags and everything went smoothly. Well, that is until one of the guards spotted Wiz.

"Young man, what is that? Animals aren't allowed in here." A female guard asked, pointing to Wiz who was peeking over Daisuke's shoulder. Panicked, Daisuke tried to think of something quick.

"Well, this is…a gift for my…umm, sister? Uh, yeah! She always wanted one of these cute little robotic animals, and this is the only time I'm going to be seeing her, so I had to bring it in…"

"Fine, but next time, keep it in a box, or at least pick a different meeting ground if you're going to bring toys." The guard said with a sigh.

"Th-Thank you!" Daisuke said before running off. That was too close. He was just about to get to where his mom was, when he suddenly noticed something. This museum was no little art museum like the ones back in Japan. This thing was beyond huge! Daisuke looked to the left, to the right, behind him, above him, and couldn't believe his eyes. He was literally frozen in place! If it wasn't for Emiko pulling him to the side, Daisuke might have ended up being run over by crazy tourists.

"Daisuke, sweetie, this isn't how we want to start our trip." Emiko said with a frightening glare. Still holding on to his arm, she dragged Daisuke to the geology floor.

A huge crowd of people were in the geology section at the time.

"Great…tour groups…stupid tourists." Dark mutters under his breath.

"Ummm, Dark? WE'RE tourist too." Daisuke mutters back to him.

"Well, what I meant to say was—what I was TRYING to do is…"

"Gotcha, Dark!" Daisuke smirked. With no response from Dark, Daisuke knew he was pouting. Emiko all ready snuck into the slew of tourists to get a look at the diamond, so Daisuke knew it was his job to steak out the area. He took notice of the guards, cameras, and pretty much everything else. A few minutes later, Emiko emerged from the sea of camera-toting tourists. She proudly marched up to Daisuke and stated: "We strike tonight at 10:00." Somehow, Emiko was able to put the card on the case of the diamond without anyone or anything noticing her.

As they started to walk out of the geology room, a familiar voice rang out among the tourists.

"What do you MEAN you've never heard of the famous phantom thief Dark?!?!"

Daisuke slowly turned his head around, as if he really didn't want to believe the owner of that voice was really there, in the U.S, on the same day he was going to steal the diamond. His mouth dryly stuttered out her name.

"R-Risa?"
