I do not own D N Angel

Chapter 5- Dark

It had only been a week since Dark came into ours live. It was rather quiet. None of the artworks had awakened.

Not that I complaining, the fact that Dwayne and rest of the family did not have dive into the stealing artwork right away is great. Grandpa told us that this week could be about preparing for when the artworks does start awakening. He decided took advance of the time to train a little. In addition, we all cleaned out the cellar.

Dark seemed to be keeping his promise. I had not really seen him around. Only two times he made an appearance. The first time was unintentional. It happened late afternoon on Tuesday. I remember the following events.

Flashback

I saw Dwayne talking to someone in the courtyard of the school. I could not see who it was, until a little closer. It was Noel, she seem to be involved in a deep conversion with him.

Then, for some reason, he began to back away. Noel was trying to see what was wrong. He ran in my direction. Then, he went pass me.

At first, I was confused. Then, I remember about the love gene. Without a really intending to be, Dark was going to appear.

I chase him. He went to the second floor. I lost him after that. However, I the door to the third classroom door slam shut.

I open the door and poke my head through the door. Dark had his back towards the door. When I began to enter, he turned towards the door.

"Oh, it is you, Erin" he said

"Why did he not excuse himself earlier or avoid talking her all together "

"He thought he could handle it"

"Yea, I can see how well he did"

"I see your point"

"What", yelled Dwayne into Dark head

"You were acting like a love stuck puppy form the start."

"No I was not. Besides, it would be rude to ignore her"

Dark just smirked at Dwayne's respond.

"What is so funny" I asked him

"He did not want to be rude"

"So he was not willing to sacrifice politeness. For, the sake of our family's secret."

"Look like it."

I signed. "He is such a Dingaling. Hold on, I thought ahead. I brought his sketchbook with me, just in case."

"Resourceful" Dark said as his back leaned against the wall. After a second gone by, Dark asked I guess what could be a basic question. Still, the topic it leaded to was rather hard to discuss.

"Why do you call your brother a Dingaling?"

"My Dad use to call us that when we use to do something silly or dumb. I do it so I and he can be still connected to my Dad"

"Erin"

"Dwayne, what happen to your parents." asked Dark

"They died." Dwayne replied, "It was five years ago. We use to live just outside of town. It was snow heavily that day. The roads became icy. A truck that was traveling in the opposite way, slipped on some black ice. My dad swerves to avoid the truck. However, it was crashing into the light pole that killed them. As Erin, and me we were not injure at all. An hour later, our grandparents came to us up."

Dark came up behind me. Put his hand on my shoulder. "I am sorry. Dwayne told me what happen. Is there is anything I can do"

"Just look out for him," I said

End of Flashback

The second time, I do not know if was taking advantage another instinct. I saw him on the roof. He was looking towards the city. He must have in awe in how much the city had change. In addition, think of the past. I decided not to bother him.

It was Friday evening. It was quiet and not activity, just a perfect night to spend with the family. Dwayne was sitting out back with grandpa. I decide to help grandma with dinner.

"Be careful, with the knife, sweetie" grandma told me as I began cutting the carrots

"I will" I respond, "This was a great idea grandma. To have stew for dinner and play cards for the rest of the evening. It is just like when we were little kids."

"Well, we should take advantage of this time. Whose knows when we will be able to do something like this again? Once the artworks your brother will be stealing a good position of time. Dark… will be here as well." As grandma said this, her grip on the knife, which was using to cut the potatoes, tightened.

"Grandma, it is going to okay. Dwayne may act like a total wimpy sometimes. Nevertheless, he will put is heart and soul into succeeding. Dark will be there with him"

"Dark will be there" she repeated in a whisper

Once we finish cutting the vegetables. We put them in the pot to let the stew. Then, the two us sat the table.

"Hey grandma, why do you have such bitter feelings towards Dark?"

"There had been a past experience between the two us. I found that he was being a pervert"

"A pervert, what did he do?"

"Fifty year ago, I was on the balcony. Dark made appearance there. He startled me. I was about to scream. He stopped me. Then, I put up a struggle. He kissed me before I could scream again."

"He kissed you" I said, "That is it"

"What do you mean 'that is it'"

"To be honest, grandma, it is not as bad as to make it out to be. True it was not the thing to do in that situation. However, I do not think it would necessarily put him in the category of a pervert."

"You really think so"

"Yea" I answered, "Actually, when I think about, the fact he is a legendary thief. It makes the incident slightly romantic."

"Romantic." said grandma surprised "Have you been reading your great aunt Risa's romance novels?"

"Maybe, anyway I think Dark had different intentions that night. Did you ever talk to him about the moment that you two had?"

"No"

"Well, maybe you two should. You can get reasons of him be there and the kiss. In addition, tell him how you felt about it. With that discussion, you can bury the hatch. I mean, Dark is sharing Dwayne's body. Things can work more smoothly with us, if you two can get along."

"I have to admit, you are right," she said "I just wondering. How did you get so smart in how people should solve their differences?"

"I was raised by you and grandpa"

Then, Dwayne came in from the back. He rushed to the kitchen. As he asked, "Is the stew ready yet? I am starving"

"Take it easy." I said

"Hey, I am eating for two"

"You are kidding, right"

We had dinner. The stew turned out to be delicious. Afterwards, we all cleaned the dinner dishes. Then, Grandpa pulled out the playing cards. We got to through a couple of rounds.

Then, Towa came in the room. She was in a panic. She was in such a panic that she turned into a little light pink bird.

"Towa, what is the matter?" I asked as I picked her up

"One of the artworks is going to awaken."

"When?" asked grandpa

"I cannot be certain when specifically. I should happen over the next two days."

"Dwayne. Do you think you and Dark be able to steal the artwork tomorrow evening" asked grandpa

Dwayne took a deep breath. "I think would be possible"

Tomorrow went by quietly. Before I knew, it was five o'clock in the even, which was two hours away from the decided time. The warning letter was send. It was all over the news. The topic however, was more about how Dark has returned.

The artwork that was the target went by the name the siren. It is a jade statuette of a mermaid sitting on a coral reef. The head face the floor. It was had been praised for the beauty siren. The reporter said that some critics commented that the statuette seem lifelike. The siren could come to life.

According to the research, which my grandpa did in order to prepare for the heist, the spirit of this artwork gain strength by emotions surrounding with obsession. Once it awakens, its head will raise. If any man looked into the eyes of the siren, an image of a woman will appear to them. They will become obsess with that woman. The obsession would ruin every relationship that he has had.

Now, I can see what my grandpa meant. The artwork could be dangerous. True the artwork intensions would destroy the city. However, relationships would be as well. People would horribly affected by the artwork. My hope is we can get the siren before anything could happen.

"Hey, Dwayne, you are nervous about tonight" I asked him as I was sitting on the couch in his room. With was taking nap on my lap. I would scratch him behind the ears.

Dwayne was on the floor doing sit ups. "A little, however, the reason for doing this is a big deal. I want to make sure nothing does anything to the people of the city. They have been good to us over the years. I finally can return the favor."

Dwayne got up and took the seat next to me. Then, he looked at me. "How are you feeling about tonight?"

"A little anxious I will admit"

"Is it because of the spirit of the artwork or the fact it will be first time I will be stealing?"

"Both. In addition, I feel useless. Everyone here has a way to help to you, except for me. I want to find a way to aid you"

"You have a way, Erin," Dwayne said as he wrapped his arms around me. "Just you being here, being able to talk to you. I think it would wonderful having a person to listen to me when I am troubled. Not just someone who been through this before. But, I will be able to get an opinion on the outside."

I return the embrace he gave me. Then, With tried to get in our hug. We could not help but to laugh at our little pet rabbit. "You will be a big help, is it right, With" said Dwayne. "Kyu"

"Dwayne. Erin. Come and get dinner," Towa said. Then, the three of headed down the stairs. For once we are done with dinner. It will be time for the heist.

Rei was sitting on the couch. She was flipping through the channels. She could not find anything to watch.

"Is there anything to watch?" asked a woman with short black and blue eyes.

"I cannot find anything," Rei said "How the dress going, mom"

"Really well" she held up the dress. The short sleeve dress was forest green. The sleeves were a pale pink. The evidence the she was sewing a flower pattern around the waist.

Rei's mom, her name Rose, owns a fashion boutique. There she sells her own clothes design. Also, sells display and sells clothes from up and coming designers.

"Does anyone want some tea," said Risa

It was just the three of them. Rei's grandfather, Dad, and brother went on a fishing trip. They would not be back until tomorrow evening.

"Sure" said Rei

"What are you watching?" Risa asked as she handed Rei a cup of tea.

"Nothing at the moment"

"Do you mind if I take a look"

"No"

Risa pick up the remote. She changed the channel. There was a woman standing in front of the art museum. "In about two hour,there will be an attempt to steal the siren. It was donate two month before. However, it is not the surprising factor in this report. It is who going to commit this theft. The last time anyone ever saw him was fifty years ago. For some of you watching, who remember back then, can guess who it is. The legendary Phantom Thief Dark is the one who sent the warning letter."

Rei look at her grandmother face. There is a look in state of shock. "Grandmother, are you okay"

"I know him."

"Who" Rose asked

"Dark"

"The phantom thief" stated Rei

"Yes. I meet him fifty years ago. I was fourteen year old. We actually, dated for a time"

"Mom you never told me this" said Rose

"Have could you date such person?" asked Rei

"He is not what you think. He maybe a thief, However, he is not a bad person. He has a good heart."

"Really" stated Rei

"At some point you see what I mean"

In apartment across town, Noel was watching the news. She was pacing back and forth. A anxious feel was take her over. Finally, she went in her walk-in closet and shut the doors
