Lyra: Also, in this chapter, where gonna see what dear Daisuke was doing, during the other chapter, or so...

The Phantom's Flower: Ch.17

Chapter 18: A little Side Talking…

Daisuke held the phone in his hand, feeling happy that he got ahold of Lyra and that she agreed to his idea of hanging out with him. At least one thing was done in his mental checklist that his mind came up with.

Now, was the next item on the list...

He needed to have a little chat with a certain thief and he wasn't gonna try and get out of this chat, like he usually did…

He closed his eyes, allowing himself to fall into the darkest part of his mind, knowing where to find his inner self

"HEY, DARK! WE NEED TO TALK NOW! I KNOW YOU'RE HERE, SO GET YOUR ASS OUT HERE NOW!" Daisuke shouted into the darkness, knowing that his voice was being heard and knew it would be answered.

It didn't take long, before a familiar figure entered the space, looking at him with a smirky confused look on his face.

"No need to shout, Daisuke, it's not like I was too far in here…"… "And besides, I never had to hear you shout for me like that, so that means that something must have gotten you really mad, to try and call for me like this…" The familiar voice of the Phantom thief Dark said, as Daisuke didn't say anything for a few minutes, before starting to question the phantom thief.

"What are you planning Dark? Ever since Mrs. Lyra moved into this town, you have been acting very differently lately. I can't read any thoughts or emotions from you and you were blocked off for a while, after the last theft we did…." Daisuke said, as he looked at Dark with serious questionable eyes. "What the hell are you thinking of doing or planning behind my back? Are you gonna do something dangerous that might get us both destroyed?!"

Dark didn't say anything for a few minutes, before letting out a small sigh, acting not really sure on how he should try and explain this to his tamer.

"Listen Daisuke, there some things going on, that I don't even know what they are or how to explain them, but I will tell you what I know so far and maybe that might help. That girl, Lyra,…there's something about her, that is drawing a lot of attention to the magic and supernatural here in this town and she might have a key as to what it is…" Dark started to explain, as Daisuke listened carefully, not sure of what his inner self was saying. "And the reason I blocked you off for a while, was so I could try and figure it out myself, without having to worry if whatever the cause was might put you in danger…"

"But you could have just told me the plan and what you were doing, instead of shutting me out like that!" Daisuke said, as he wanted to argue with the phantom thief. "If you could have at least let me know a little bit…"

"….And risk you being caught in whatever mess it was, even if there was a magical force that would have killed you, if you knew even a little bit of information?!" Dark said, making Daisuke freeze at the thought. "Remember what happened the last time I told you of a dangerous plan, that I wanted to do?! You got caught in a trap and almost was lost in the active magic force of the artwork. If I hadn't told you anything, you wouldn't have been targeted…"

Daisuke knew what he was talking about, as it was a time long ago, when he asked Dark what the plan was that the was trying to do to steal a very rare artifact and because he was told of the plan, the artifact artwork worked against them and tried to seal Daisuke up in the artwork's power so Dark wouldn't be able to seal it away, basically using Daisuke as a shield. But Dark found a way to free Daisuke and sealed up the artwork's power.

Because of his actions, he had put his own tamer in danger, a mistake, that he never wanted to cause again….

That could be way he was acting this way, not wanting a repeated of that mistake, as Dasiuke guessed, but still felt his emotions going sad and a little depressed at, for not being told anything…

"Yeah, I know." Daisuke said, as he remembered that time and was started to feel a bit sorry for getting angry at the phantom thief, but he was still feeling a bit left out. "But I thought we were a team Dark. And teams need to work together…"

"We are a team, Daisuke, and I am sorry that I didn't tell you anything about my plan, but for now I have to keep this tightly under wraps, at least for a little while…" Dark said, as he could feel his tamer's emotions and was starting to feel the regret himself. "…Just for a little while longer and I promise, when the time is right, I will tell you everything, alright?"

"Alright, I guess I can wait a little longer. But no funny stuff or I won't let you off the hook so easily…" Daisuke said, as he gave the phantom thief a grin.

"You know, you and Lyra are kinda alike, at least when you both want to beat me up…" Dark said, as he let out a little laugh. "She tried to beat me up with a pillow when I was in her room…"

"Wait, why were you in here room Dark? You didn't try to do anything to her, did you?" Daisuke said, as he stared at the thief.

"Nope, because she wouldn't, because she would have kicked my ass if I did! She sure is one tough girl, that is for sure…" Dark said, as he could sense that there time in the area was almost up. "…I do have one last thing to say before I go though-You might want to keep an eye on her when you two are together, just in case. I sense that something might be going on and if you take your eyes off her for a second, than whatever might happen, will take that chance to strike…"

And with that said, Dark left the darkness area, as Daisuke opened his eyes, wondering what Dark meant by that last part. He continued to think about it, as he also started thinking of how he should be, as he got ready to go to his meet up with Lyra…
