Chapter Four: Thief On A Mission

~At Lyra's House~

Lyra looked at her digital clock as she put on her small silver diamond earrings. It was about thirty minutes to seven, the time of which the theft would take place, at least that what it said on the warning letter sent from Dark.

The two girls had seen the announcement on the TV by the news reporter.

"We better hurry, if we want to make it in time." Cara said, as she stepped out of the bathroom. She had brought out an extra set of clothes that were in her bag, since she was on a couple of sports teams at school.

She wore a dark t-shirt with an angel like design on it and dark blue jewelry was limited to a white and black choker, clip on red stoned earrings and a few tight clamped bracelets. She had on a small hoodie beanie hat on her head, in case she didn't want to looked at by any news cameras around.

"You look great Cara!" Lyra said as she stepped out of the bedroom in her own outfit. She kept it casual but added a little bit of flare to hers.

She wore a long knecked-sleeved black sweater that had a black jacket over it. Connected to the jacket was a hoodie that she could put over her head in case she didn't want to be seen. She also wore dark black washed jeans, to match her black themed outfit.

She also chose limited jewelry, just like Cara, but to her own style: the small silver diamond earrings, a small tiger eyed beaded stone necklace hung by a black cord, and tight clamped bracelets with gothic spikes on them for both arms.

When Cara wasn't looking, she grabbed a few fingerless leather gloves and put them in her pocket, in case she might need them for later.

"Well, shall we get going then?" Cara asked as they looked all ready to go. Lyra nodded at her friend, grabbed a shoulder type looking bag filled with a few items that was layed by the side of the coat rack's as they both headed for the door, to head on out to their friend's meet up point.

~X X X X X X X~

~At Theft-Meeting Location~

Risa along with her sister and friends had found a perfect spot at the location to wait for Lyra and Cara. Riku spotted them right away as she waved to them.

"Hey guys, were over here!" She yelled out to them as Cara waved back. The two girls ran over to their group, greeting their friends. Lyra looked around and saw that Daisuke wasn't their. She turned to Riku to ask him about Daisuke.

"Hey Riku, has Daisuke shown up yet? I don't see him here . . ." Lyra asked as Riku looked around too.

"He probably forgot or he got stuck at home cause for being grounded again." Riku said as she was used to Daisuke's absentness a lot at these types of things. Lyra wasn't sure at what her new friend meant, but she somehow that wasn't gonna show up.

Suddenly, one their group members pointed at the sky as they shouted something. She strained her head to look at what they were talking about when, the lights around the area went out.

Risa and a couple other girls were freaking out at the lights going out. Lyra ignored them as Cara grabbed her hand and dragged her somewhere where they could find some light.

Lyra was confused at the girl's actions as they continued to run to in a strange direction.

"Cara? Where are you taken me?" She asked as the girl lead her down an alleyway and through the darkened streets, seeming to know where to go.

"Where do you think? Were gonna get a closer look of Dark in action. And besides, hanging out with Risa and her friends would bore me to tears, if we had to be dragged by them the entire time, listening to Risa ramble on the entire way." Cara said as Lyra grinned at her new friend.

To Lyra, Cara was the perfect friend for her, because she seemed like her type of girl: One who likes the dangers of life and isn't afraid to crack a few skulls that get in the way.

Cara grinned as she found a way into the building that was the location of the theft. It was a back doorway, that wasn't under guard by security or the police. Both girls grinned at their success.

This looked like it would be fun. . .

~X X X X X X X~

~Inside Theft Location:

Museum ~

Lyra cautiously went up to the door and checked the lock. It wasn't locked all the way, so it was easy for her to unlock it, due to her father teaching her about locks back in America.

When she heard the lock successfully unlock by the clicking sound, the girls cautiously walked into the dimly lit space. Using Cara's ipod as a flashlight, the girls looked around to see where they were.

"So the news report said that the item that would be stolen tonight is called "The blood-Gem Mirror." Judging by the description on the news, it some kind of ancient Japanese mirror . . .so it should be in the antiques section." Cara said to Lyra as both girls walked as quietly and quickly as they could, in case there was guard around, that they didn't want seen by.

Lyra found a set of stairs that led to the upper level. Both girls nodded at each other and raced up the stairs quickly.

When they got to the top, Cara shined her ipod in front of them and saw that there were a few guards, but they were already knocked out.

But still, they moved cautiously as they walked to find a place for cover, so they could get a good view of Dark in action. They hid behind a huge statue as they cautiously took a quick peak.

"He's over there!" Cara said as she pointed at the figure for Lyra to get a good look. "The guy all in black with purple hair."

Lyra strained her neck to get a good view of the thief. But with the dim lights, it was hard for her to get a good with little light that she had, she saw that he wasn't all that bad looking, in fact he looked pretty hot at least in her mind he did. She wanted to get a closer look, when she heard a noise coming from somewhere else in the room.

Lyra and Cara both quickly covered their mouths to keep themselves from saying anything that would give away their hiding location.

They waited with nervous breaths as they heard another voice enter the room.

~X X X X X X X~

"So, here we are again, my old friend. And look, we have the whole place to ourselves . . .no one to disturb us this time, Dark Mousy."

The girls looked to get a good view of the visitor who had just entered the building. He was about the same height as Dark, but the looked the complete opposite.

He had long blond hair that was in a pony tail style, and eyes that were golden and slit in an almost cat like way.

His outfit was all white with golden lining on the edges. Out from his back were bright white wings that looked like the wings of an angel.

But this angel acted more like a devil than a heavenly being . . .

His name was Krad or as Satoshi would say "The Homicidal Blond, Krad. "

"Hiya Kraddy, It's been awhile hasn't it?" Dark said, as he put the bag that held the mirror he was carrying in down on the ground, so it wouldn't get broken if he was gonna be in a fight.

"I thought I told you to never call me by that name." Krad said as he pulled out a sword from out of thin air. "No matter, today is the day that I will cut you to pieces and be free from my curse . . . My other half."

Krad charged at Dark about to slice him, but Dark jumped out of the way, using his wings as an escape route. Krad growled as he also flew into the air and fought with his other half while they were still in the air.

Lyra and Cara watched the battle being fought, not knowing if they should help or not. Then Lyra spied another figure about to attack Dark from behind in a sneak attack.

~X X X X X X X~

"Hey, that person has a backup with him! THAT'S CHEATING!" Lyra said as she jumped up from her hiding place to go help out the phantom thief.

"Cara, go get Dark's bag and try to stop Blondie over there. I'll stop the backup #1!" Cara nodded as both girls covered their eyes and heads with their hood's and beanie hats as they raced to help out in the fight.

Lyra quickly pulled out her leather gloves and put them on, so she wouldn't hurt her hands in the fight. This all counted on her speed and fists, to make it to her goal in time.

~X X X X X X X~

"This is it . . . my moment . . .now DIE!" The figure raised her sword to strike Dark from behind. But a small fist came out of nowhere and collided with her face, blocking her attack and sending her flying.

She hit the back wall with a loud thud sound. She shook off the shock and turned to see who had dared to attack her. She glared with angry eyes as she spied Lyra in the hoodie, ready for a fight with her.

"Hate to break it you, idiot, but I thought I might even the odds." Lyra said as she took a fighting stance. "And it's not fair to attack someone from behind like that . . .you stupid moron!" The figure's face turned angry with rage as she charged at the girl, swinging her sword back and forth to slice her up.

~X X X X X X X~

"HOW DARE YOU CALL ME THAT, YOU LITTLE IMP? NO ONE CALLS SAIYORI THAT AND LIVES TO TELL ABOUT IT!"

Lyra got a good look at her attacker as she kept attacking her with her reddish-golden white sword.

Her attacker was a woman with reddish- golden hair that grew dark at the ends of her hair. Her eyes were deep red, almost like blood and her skin was a light golden color like the rays of the sun.

Her out was almost like Krad's, only she had a short mini jacket, long thin pants that had a loose belt around her waist, knee high boots with a high heel and a tank top underneath the jacket that showed some of her skin in many places.

To Lyra, she looked like one of those lousy model girls on the cover of those fashioned magazines that she hated so much. Even though this woman was good at close range attacks, Lyra kept moving from side to side in a graceful like speed, dodging each attack with ease.

"What kind a demon are you? No Human should be able to dodge my attacks like that!" Saiyori yelled to the strange girl as she just grinned at her.

"Can't tell you that, besides, it's none of your business you damn hussy!" Lyra said as she threw her leg up in the air and brought it down hard to hit Saiyori in the head.

But Saiyori was quick and bent her head down to dodge the attack and jump out of the way, letting Lyra's foot hit the ground with a smack.

~X X X X X X X~

The echoes of the sound, made Dark turn his attention to the source of the sound. All he could see was a small figure, trying to beat the holy crap out of a strange woman with a sword.

He couldn't see the small figure's face well, since it was covered by a hood.

He heard a set of feet moving quickly as he turned to see another hooded figure, going straight for the bag with the mirror and getting it out of harms way to a place of safety. The figure with the bag went to one of the hallways and motioned for the other hooded figure to hurry it up with their fight.

"Damn it Saiyori! I thought I told you to wait till I was finished killing of Dark Mousy!" Dark turned to see Krad had dropped down to the floor and was now walking over to the two fighters. It looked like Krad was done fighting Dark for now and was now gonna go after the other two instead.

"I guess we have to put our fight on hold for now, since I now have to care of a little problem." Krad said to Dark as he walked over to the two figures.

Saiyori's face grew pale as she tried to wave her hands in surrender, dropping her sword on the ground.

"Brother . . . I mean, Master, it's not my fault. It was taken too long for the job to be finished and I wanted to help. . . ." She tried to explain to Krad as he continued to walk towards them.

"As I was about to attack Dark, this little fool, got in my way and stopped me. it was hard fighting against it, since it was so strong . . .please forgive master, I swear it wasn't my fault!" She said as she pointed a finger at Lyra.

Krad looked at her than he looked back at Dark.

"Did you hear that Dark? This little thing . . ." he grabs Lyra by the arm as she tries to get out of his grip. "Just saved your life. But I guess this little fool won't live to tell the tale." He said as he pulls of the hood and reveals the face hidden underneath.

Under the hood was the most beautiful girl Dark had ever seen in his entire life. Her dark hair and eyes, shown a certain air to them, as she glared daggers at Krad.

"DARK! THAT'S MISS LYRA! THE NEW GIRL FROM MY SCHOOL, THE ONE I WAS TELLING YOU ABOUT!" Daisuke yelped out in Dark's mind, recognizing the girl.

"Are you sure Daisuke? Are you positive that this is the girl you were talking about?" Dark asked his tamer who quickly agreed.

"I'm sure Dark. I would recognize that face anywhere. I wonder how she got in here in the first place. . . never mind, you gotta save her Dark!" Daisuke ranted at Dark in his mind.

"Might as well, I can't let Krad get a hold of her just yet. . . And I guess the other one is her friend too, so I better save them both." Dark sighed as he got ready for a surprise attack. "Is our escape ride here yet Daisuke?"

"Yeah, she should be at the entry way about now . . ." Daisuke said.

"Ok, then . . ." Dark said as he flew down and threw a feather at Krad and Saiyori, creating a smoke screen. The smoke made everyone cough as Krad let go of Lyra. She was about to make a break for it, when a hand grabbed hers and started to run away from the smoke.

"This way!" A voice told Lyra as she ran with the figure to the darkened hallway. She heard a shout coming from the hallway.

"Hurry it up, you two!" A single voice said as they were lead back down the stairs and down to the main floor. Lyra couldn't see through her tears coming out of her eyes because of the smoke.

But she heard the voices loud and clear.

"Dark, go out into the alleyway and try to get back to the home base, I'll meet you there later!"

"Ok, see you then . . .and stay under cover. Use the shadows if you can!" Lyra tried to keep up, but who ever had her hand was faster than her, so it was hard for her to run with them. They ran until they were out of sight and wouldn't be followed by Krad or Saiyori.

~X X X X X X X~

"Master, please forgive me. I let them escape." Saiyori said as Krad just stood there, not moving at all.

"Saiyori, I thought that I told you that when it's just the two of us, you're allowed to call me 'Brother'. But only when were alone." He told her as she had her head down waiting for the punishment that she would receive.

"And are you sure what you said was true, that she was strong?" Saiyori looked up at her brother.

"Yes, she was . . .do you think she is . . ." Krad nodded at his sister, as he stared at the ceiling.

"She is the one, she will hold his love and his own dark sister. . .the other phantom thief. This just keeps getting better and better." He turns to his own sister, a look of calm on his face.

"You did very well, Saiyori. This will be a great help to me in the next steps of my plans." Saiyori looked at her brother as she smiled at him.

"Thank you brother. I promise, that I won't fail you ever again. But we should hurry dear brother, before the humans of this world notice us." He nodded as he let his wings out again as so did she and they disappeared in a flash of white.

~Outside Theft Location:Park ~

Lyra thought her lungs where gonna burst when they finally decided to stop running. When she felt her hand let go of, she fell to the ground to catch her breath. She looked around and saw that they had stopped at a nearby park, with very little light around, for anyone to see them.

"Are you alright, young miss?" She turned her head to look up at the voice who had spoken to her. She gasped as she looked into eyes of amethyst which were the same color as his hair and wearing clothes that were black as the night.

She felt her heart skip a beat as she continued to look at the dark angel in front of her.

"You're not hurt are you?" He asked her as he walked over to her slowly, as to not freighting her in anyway. She tried to speak, but she was somehow tongue tied.

Somehow she was able to get her words out. "Yeah, I'm alright . . .

Phantom . . . Dark . . ." She said as he bent down on one knee so he could be at her eye level, since he was taller than her.

"I see you know my name, but I haven't gotten the pleasure of knowing you're name, . . . 'Little Ninja'." He said, throwing in a nickname since, he already knew her name because Daisuke already told him earlier, when her face was revealed.

But he wanted to act like he didn't know, to confuse her a bit.

"It's Lyra, not 'Little Ninja'. . . .Lyra Riiko." Lyra said, feeling a bit awkward at the nickname. He smirked as he now had learned the name of this beautiful creature of the night, that had appeared from nowhere.

"Lyra . . .Lyra . . .it's a pretty name, for a pretty girl like you." He lifted her chin in his hand to get a better look at the girl. She just stared at him as he examined all her looks, taking it all in so he would never forget what she looked like.

Lyra wasn't feeling comfortable with him looking at her like that and was about to tell him off, when she felt a pang of pain in her neck.

The little shot of pain was starting to grow bigger and knew what would happen if she stayed around like this. She gently took his hand off her chin as he looked at her with a confused look.

One minute she was just staring at him, the next she had small look of pain in her eyes.

"Lyra, are you ok? Is something wrong?" Dark asked the girl as she tried to say something, but she grabbed her chest as if it was on fire.

"Dammit, . . .not , . .again. . . " She gasped in short breaths as she tried to breathe right, but her breath came out in short shallow sounds.

She hadn't had an attack like this in a while, the last one was a few weeks ago and now . . .

It seemed that this is one of the worst ones she had ever had.

Dark could tell that something was wrong as he tried to reach out for the girl. She looked at him for a second, before her eyes gave off a blank look, before she fell forward. He acted fast as he caught her in his arms as she fell.

"Lyra!" He screamed as she heard his voice from somewhere far away.

"Help . . .me . . . please . . ." She managed to say, as he nodded at her. He knew the prefect place that would be able to help her.

"Don't worry. I'll get you help real soon. Just hang on for me, ok?" He said softly as she nodded her head slowly as she passed out in his arms.

Dark looked towards the sky as his wings appeared. With his jet black wings, Dark took off into the night, holding the girl in his arms as he raced to get her help.

"Will be she alright Dark?" Daisuke asked, worried for his friend, as he could hear her struggle for a breath.

"She'll be alright, if we get her to Emiko." Daisuke nodded, knowing that his mom was good at medical things, after all the times he had been getting into trouble.

He had just hoped that Miss Lyra would forgive him after not being able to come with her this time. . .

~X X X X X X X~

~Location: Daisuke's House~

By the time that they got to Daisuke's house, someone was already there, waiting at the door. The figure smirked as she lifted her beanie hoodie hat from her head.

"You guys are late today . . ." The hooded figure said, revealing Cara's face from beneath. "I was about to go look for . . ."

She stops when she Lyra in Dark's arms, her face pale like she was near death's doorsteps.

"What happened to Lyra? Is she alright?" The girl asked looking at her friend with worry.

"I don't know . . .She started having some kind of problem with breathing . . ." Dark said as Cara understood what he was trying to say.

"Save it for later Dark, right now, let's get her inside and have Emiko look at her." Cara said as she they followed her into the house, hoping that they had made it in time.
