Chapter 4-Family Legacy
"Dark" said Grandpa
"What? How did I get back here?" Dark asked as he looked around
When he looked at me, He said in smooth tone of voice "What your name? There is no reason to be shy. Come on, let's hear your name"
"Erin. Erin Niwa" I said
"That is a lovely name. Erin Ni…..Niwa" Dark said
"Yes" I said
Then, he grabbed my shoulders. "Any relation to Daisuke Niwa"
"He is my grandfather," I told him as a pointed at grandpa behind me.
Dark stared at my grandpa. "Daisuke, is that really you?"
"Yes, it's me. It has been a long time"
"Is that you Riku?" Dark asked my grandma
"Yes. Now, would you please, get your hands off my granddaughter"
He was holding my shoulder. He let go. Then, as we both stood up, he said "sorry"
"Its okay" I replied a little frazzled from the events that played out in front of me.
"So, Daisuke how long has it been" asked Dark. Then, With hopped on his shoulder. "Hey, With how are you".
My grandpa and Dark started in their own conversion. They seem that to be catching up. It was like that they were old friends.
I went over to my grandma. For, some reason she seems to being a little annoyed. Despite that, I hoped to learn something about the person. "Um, grandma, do you know that guy?" I asked her.
"Unfortunately, yes" my grandma responded with sigh
"He is the phantom thief Dark," said Towa. She suddenly realized what she just said, "Oops, I should not have said that."
"Towa, what do you know?" I inquired a little annoyed
"Nothing, forget what I said" said Towa avoiding
"Towa, you can not just mention his name and leave it there."I was getting even more annoyed.
"I am sorry, Mistress Erin. I was not allowed to say anything about this." Towa apologized
"What is that suppose to mean?" I asked
"Erin. There is something that your grandpa and I need to tell you and Dwayne" grandma said as she pleased her hand on my shoulders.
A second later, Dark came out and said, "So, it has been fifty years. I have to say you are looking good for a grandmother, Riku"
"Shut up" she shouted.
"Still, after all this time, you have such bitter feelings about me," stated Dark in a confused manner
"We were perfectly normal lives. Then, you have to come here…"
"What did I do?" interrupted Dark
I could not take it anymore. It appears that everyone know what was happening. However, no one was giving me any information.
"WOULD SOMEONE TELL ME, WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?" I yelled at the top of my lungs. I had begun to cry, "Who is this person? Why is he here? What happen to my brother?"
"Oh Erin" My grandpa wrapped me in his arm. Even though he said nothing further, his body language was telling me so much. He was sorry for leave out of the discussion. It was all right, everything was going to be fine.
After we sat on the couch, he took my hand with both of his. "There no need to worry, Erin. Dwayne is still here. Just not in the way you think." He nodded in Dark direction.
"Is that true?" I asked Dark
"Yes. I am a part of him and he is a part of me," he answered
I became silence. I tried to think of what it would be like to live with someone live inside of Dwayne. No manner, whatever the scenario I could think of. I could not help that it would be awkward. In addition, would Dark take control of my brother's body all the time? Could that Dwayne could not been physically there at all. A tear emerged from my eye. Then, I felt a finger wiped it away. I opened eyes and Dark was kneeing next to her.
"I will not become between you and your brother. I promise. I will not use your brother's body, unless it is necessary. I can tell that the relationship you two have something special. There is no way I want to take away Dwayne from his beloved sister"
"Thank you, Dark," I said
"Now that part is out of the way." said grandpa "We need to figure out why are you here"
"What do you mean?" I asked
"You see Erin, a long time ago. There was family of artist known as the Hikari. They create wonderful and beautiful artworks. These artworks would touch the hearts of all viewed so much, that sprits was created out of their emotions. Dark is one of those sprit."
"You are?" I asked Dark
"Yes I am"
"How can you be a part of my brother, when you connected to an artwork?"
After receiving the nodded of approval from my grandpa, Dark took a seat next to me. Then, he began to explain. "Hikari family was skilled craftsmen. That one times they want to created living piece of art. After they craved the Black Wings, they were going to perform a ceremony. However, another family of thieves, who want the black wings for their own, interrupted it. Therefore, I and another sprit emerged, do to the interruption, and immerged with both a member of the Hikari and the Niwa"
"Afterward, when every Niwa male turns fourteen, my D.N.A. is combined with his."
"Every Niwa male" I repeated. Them, I turned to my grandpa "Wait. I do not remember dad going through this. In fact, he never mentioned Dark at all."
"He and Dark never went through this together. When Dark shared my body, we sealed him and the other back in Black Wings. Ever since then, Dark has not been seen," explained grandpa
"Which leave one question, how is it that Dark is back?" stated Towa
"Has it been move from its location?" asked Dark
"Has far as I know it still down in the basement of the art museum," answered grandpa
Dark sat there pondering what could have happened. "The seal should have been permit. Someone must have used a powerful spell."
"So, that what that person was doing" I told myself. However, it was a second that I actually said that aloud. All eyes were on me.
"Erin Alison Niwa. When did see this?" asked grandma annoyed
"Earlier today" I said as I sank in to the couch
I told them what happened. How Lawrence and Dwayne saw a hooded figure going down to the basement. They had a feel that should go down there. Then, all the events that followed.
"So, it appeared that someone wants the events of past to repeat" said Dark
"If that so, I think that I need to talk to Dwayne. I think should be the one to tell about his part about in this"
"Well, I would love to change back" Dark said with a smirk "However, there is the problem of the sacred maiden. Dwayne does not have one, does he?"
"What is a sacred maiden?" I asked
"One of thing that makes Dark appears. When his wing host, Dwayne, come across the one he is in love with. The love gene becomes activate. It works both ways."
I thought for a moment. Then, I remembered what happened a little while ago. When, Dwayne turned into Dark. "It's Noel" I said when I became aware."
"Who is Noel?" asked Dark
"A girl in the class, I think he did a sketch of her. I will go and get it," I told him
I went in to the backyard. There was his sketchpad. There I flip through the pages. Then, I found it. She stood looking out the window of the school's classroom. This was what he first saw her.
I brought it back into the house. Dark was standing there waiting for me. Once I gave it to him, he looked down. Then, he looked her and gave her a look that said 'until next time'. Within a second, Dwayne was there again.
"That was quiet the experience" he said as he held his head.
"Are you all right "I asked as I moved closer
"I am fine, Erin"
I could help but to hug him. He and I were holding each other for a little while. For, the time passed that they could not comfort each other.
"Do not have to worry. He seems like a trustworthy person," he told me. Then, he turned to our grandpa and said. "So, grandpa, what is my part in these events"
"Dwayne, I am afraid that you are going to take in some heists," answered grandpa
"What. What do mean?" asked Dwayne
"Those sprits of artworks tend to have their intensions. Whether they are good or evil intensions, the city and the people living here are the ones that suffer. The purpose that Dark and Niwa family created is to steal the artworks to seal to spirit within the artwork. This will prevent the spirit causing anymore damage"
Dwayne stood there. He began to shake. His had clenched fist.
"You mean to tell me that I have to become a thief. All because I share my body with Dark, is that what you are telling me?"
"Dwayne. I am sorry." Said grandpa
Dwayne stormed off. I chased after him. When I finally caught up with him, I grabbed his shoulder.
"I know it seems unfair"
"Seems unfair… it is unfair" he said, "They did not even tell us"
"Would you have believed them?"
"You have point. Still, why should I be a thief?"
"Think about it like this. Our ancestors did interrupt the ceremony. Therefore, it could be that it started a chain reaction with the other artworks."
"I would like to think that you not alone in this. If things appear to be hard, you can talk grandpa and me. I might not know exactly what is going on with you. However, I will listen"
"Thanks Erin" he said
After that, we both decided we should get some rest. It has been a long hour an half. Dwayne would talk with my grandparents in the morning.

"I guess she has a point. Still, why me. Erin is more athletic than I am. So, why can not she do it," Dwayne thought to himself
"What kind of brother are you?" said Dark voice inside his head "You want your sister to be in danger. Have her risk being caught and throw in jail"
"Oh, like you are really concern for her" Dwayne responded
"Well, one of us has to"
"The last time I checked. I was her brother"
"I understand. There is going to be a some type relationship between to of us"
"Just do not try anything that will hurt her"
"I promise" Dark replied, "You know this might be a start of a beautiful friendship"
