Seijuu Elementary School

Miyuki stood near the window in her classroom while hearing girls in her class gossiping about Dark during lunch break

“OMG! Did you see the news yesterday?”

“Yes, Dark is so handsome!!”

“They said he is like 17-18 years old.”

“But don't they say that he is some sort of legendary thief that has appeared 25 years ago and then 40 years ago? That would make him supposedly old man already?”

“He must be a fallen angel. Did you see his wings? And he's hot! I bet he's immortal or whatnot!”

Miyuki rolled her eyes. She doesn't get as fascinate with Dark as her fellow classmates are, probably because the thief is inside her brother's body. `Liking him is like liking your own brother, yuck!' she thought.

Rika and Ame approach Miyuki. Both girl stands in each of Miyuki's side.

Miyuki smiled. “Hey…”

“That Dark guy is quite famous huh?” Ame said.

“What is it with people? Why would they admire a thief, a criminal?” Miyuki said, obviously upset. She still can't get around the thought that her family line has been a generation of thieves and of Dark's host. She rubs her forehead.

“Wow, you took it quite hard…” Rika said.

“Well, don't you get upset if there are thieves looming around in town?” Miyuki asked.

“He seems harmless. Heard that he's a gentleman, never use violence unless he has to…” Ame said.

Miyuki gave her a look.

“Well, so he stole some arts, big deal…” Ame said. “It is not like he is a murderer or something…”

Miyuki look displeased knowing that Ame seem to idolize Dark. `Well, she likes my brother and Dark and Nii-chan is Dark, quite fitting then…'

“My Dad is quite upset about Dark when he watches the news yesterday…” Rika said.

“Oh yeah, my Dad said that your father has some sort of history with Dark. He said that your father is hell-bent in trying to catch Dark…” Miyuki said.

“Well, my Dad is sort of a police detective and the commander actually…” Rika said.

“So, is your Dad going to, you know, trying catching him again?” Miyuki asked, almost afraid of the answer. Regardless her feeling about Dark, he is still, well, family to say the least, especially since he is inside her brother. If Satoshi is to catch him means he is to catch Daichi also. It worries her.

“No offense, Rika-chan but I don't think your father would be able to catch him, I mean he failed to catch him the last time he appeared so I'm guessing Dark is quite good at what he do. He must be a pro.” Ame said.

“Can we stop talking about that thief please?” Miyuki asked.

Seijuu High School

Daichi and his classmates are stuck with PE today.

“Hey, did you see the news yesterday about that hot guy?”

“You mean Dark? You're right! He's cool!”

“My hormone feels like screaming when I saw his face yesterday. My Goodness, I think I lust over him!”

Daichi heard the girls talking about yesterday's heist and well, about Dark.

Dark chuckled. `Girls these days… A talk like that shouldn't be done in public…don't you think so, Daii-kun?'

Daichi sighed. He has gotten used with Dark after a few days.

`So where is your love interest? Is she in the same class as you are?' Dark asked.

Daichi didn't answer but his eyes searching a figure in the crowd in front of him. Finally, his eyes rested on the beautiful figure of Yuzuriha. His heart started to race and as it become too much, Daichi quickly runs from the schoolyard to the building.

Dark has taken over Daichi's body. He smirked. “So it's my time then…?” He laughed. “I'm going to have fun with this body while I can!”

`Give my body back, Dark!!' Daichi yelled.

“Oh, come on! Been so long since the last time I am free. Give me some time to enjoy myself, ok?” Dark said as he walked the school's corridor with a huge grin. He flirted with some girls along the way. Luckily, the girls didn't seem to realize that he is Dark. Well, not everyone watches the news, you know!

`Dark!!' Daichi is embarrassed with his counterpart's action.

Dark ignored Daichi and continued to stroll down the school. He was humming to himself as he enjoyed his freedom till he bump to none other than Seiji Hiwatari(16). “Oops, sorry!”

Seiji picked up his book. “It's alright.” He looks at Dark as he fixed his glasses.

“Holy shit! You're Satoshi's double!” Dark yelled.

Seiji stared at the strange boy in front of him. “You know of my father, I believe?”

“Well, uh…” Dark is uncharacteristically nervous. He grinned sheepishly. “Not really… I must have mistaken you with someone else. Gotta go!”

`He's Seiji, my cousin!' Daichi said. `Why are you so freakingout?'

Dark dashed away from Seiji and goes to the schools' roof. “Remember about Krad?”

`The one that you and Dad is so worry about?'

“Yeah. Just like Niwa bloodlines have me, Hiwatari bloodlines have Krad.”

`Well, that's mean…Seiji-kun is Krad?'

“Geez, I hope not but if I'm here, the chance is Krad is here as well…”

`You mean to tell me that my cousin is going to be our enemy?'

“More or less…”

`Well, that's bad! He's my cousin. I can't fight against my own cousin!'

“You won't have a choice if he turns into Krad. Just for the record, Krad is hell-bent in trying to kill me or he would settle making me suffer. Ask your Dad if you don't believe me. Krad is trouble!”

Meanwhile Seiji fell down on his knees as unbearable pain strike his chest. Sweat covered his handsome face. “What the…?”

`Let me out…'

“That voice again… Why…?” Seiji collapsed on the floor as he transform into Krad.

Krad in Seiji's uniform slowly stand up, no wings attached. He started laugh. “I'm free. Finally!” His face suddenly turns serious as he sense Dark on the roof. “Dark…” he hissed. He flees to the roof.

Miyuki and the others heard explosive from the Junior-Senior High School.

“What was that?” Ame yelped in surprise. “A bomb?”

Lots of students look out the window to see in the direction of the source of the explosive.

Miyuki let out a loud gasps when she saw a flutter of black and white wings in between of the mist caused by the explosion.

“What? What? What did you see?” Ame asked.

Miyuki blinked. “W-what? What make you think I saw something?”

“You gasp…” Ame pointed.

“Out of surprise because…of that…I think…” Miyuki gave a lame excuse. `The hell is Dark doing here at school? Don't tell me Nii-chan has transformed into him again…?'

Another explosion could be heard again. By the time, it had created quite the commotion. Teachers and students from both schools gathered around the schoolyard to see what is going on. The police are on their way to handle the situation.

Miyuki is worried about her brother. `What do they think? Creating such a big commotion such as this anyway?' she thought as she grab the jars that separated her school with her big brother's school.

“What is going on?” Rika asked. She is also worried over her brother because the explosion is inside her brother's school too.

“Miyuki-chan, where are you going?” Ame asked when she saw Miyuki goes away.

Miyuki didn't answer and luckily Ame and Rika are too pre-occupied with what they saw to go after her. She knew a place where the fence could be easily taken off thus allow her to sneak into the other school.

The schoolyard in Daichi's school is also filled with a panic students and teachers. Everyone is confused with what is going on. Some even think that they are under attack of terrorist.

Miyuki decided to enter the school from the backdoor. Just when she's about to entered the school, someone grabbed her. She yelped but her attacker covers her mouth to prevent her from screaming like crazy.

“Stt, it's me!” come a whisper of male voice.

`Dark!' Miyuki felt a bit relieved to know that it was Dark who catches her.

Dark let go of his hand that cover the girl's mouth. “What are you doing here?”

“What am I doing? What are you doing? What was that all about anyway? The explosion? Everyone is panic and then I saw you on the rooftop.” Miyuki started to babble in panic state.

“Stt!” Dark grabbed her again and pinned her against a wall. He looked around very cautiously.

“W-what?” Miyuki asked.

“He's still here…” Dark said.

“Who?”

Suddenly the backdoor opened and Krad appeared. “Found you at least.” He grins.

Dark stood in front of Miyuki in protective mode.

“Who is he?” Miyuki started to freak.

“Krad.” Dark answered.

Krad practically ignored Miyuki. He focused all his attention at his twin. “I'm getting really tired with all these hide and seek…”

“Likewise, I'm getting tired with your obsessive behavior toward me, Krad…” Dark said mockingly.

Krad looked angry. He raised his hand and about to blast Dark to the afterlife when something suddenly stunned him. When he saw Miyuki, really noticed her, he fell to his knees. He grabbed his chest. “Ugh, not now, you idiot!”

Dark used this chance to fly with Miyuki on his arms. Dark chose a flying route that unnoticed by people around, mainly because those people were to concentrate with the school ground. Police and firemen started to come and handle the situation.

Miyuki grabbed onto Dark's shoulder as tight as possible. She yelped and closed her eyes in fear.

Dark laughed, seeing how afraid the girl is of flying. Dark landed both of them in an alley.

Miyuki distanced herself from Dark as she leaned against wall. She felt dizzy and shaky what with all the flying. “I thought I'm going to have a heart attack…”

“Chill out. It's not like I'm going to let you fall down…” Dark said.

Miyuki glared at him. “Why would you bring me here anyway?”

“To avoid a fight with Krad. He always likes that. He doesn't care how his action could get us in trouble as long as he has his way…”

“Okay. Krad. Who is he? Is he like your twin or something?”

“Twin. We? Yeah, you could say it like that but, no, we're nothing alike. Geez, I don't even want to know that right now I'm related by blood with that creep…” Dark said and shuddered. “Twin, huh? Ugh!”

Miyuki stand up. She took a peek where the smoke from the explosion in the school ground can be seen from there. “Well, at least it's safe to say that school would be close down for a while…” She looks at Dark. “So, not be rude or anything, why are you still you? I mean why don't you transform back to my brother?”

“Why? Do you miss your brother already?” Dark teased.

“I think you have done enough damage as it is, haven't you?” Miyuki said.

Dark grabbed her and pinned her against wall. “I don't like that kind of tone, little miss.” Dark said. His face is very close with hers.

`Dark, what are you doing?' Daichi screams, almost hysterical. `Let go of her!'

Miyuki's heart pounded in sudden panic and confusion. She flushed. She quickly pushes him away. “I'm just saying the truth…”

“What an attitude… How do you expect to have a boyfriend if you are this skeptical?” Dark shook his head.

Miyuki's eyes flashed in anger. “Shut up! You don't even know me! You…you aren't even human! You…you ruin my family's life!” she screamed and then run away in tears.

Dark looks stunned. He didn't mean to make her cry. `Am I losing my manner?' he thought to himself.

`Miyuki-chan!' Daichi yelled. He's concerned with his sister's condition. `Dark, you shouldn't say those things to her. She's already feelingbad with herself as it is…'

“You mean she doesn't have boyfriend?”

`Yeah, she got it bad. She doesn't feel confident with herself. Last year, there is this boy… He played her and teased her about her look. It got her down ever since.'

“Immature boys then…” Dark shake his head. “I hate guys who hurt girls' heart.” He sighed. “I guess I have to apologize to her huh?”

`You better be! Miyuki is a good girl. She just has this overly sense of justice. She hates criminal ever since we were little kids. So she kinda hasit bad to accept that our family is a generation of thieves, not to mention that a thief as famous as you are related with her by blood.'

“So she doesn't know about your training?”

`Oh, she knows, only she never thought of it as a training to be a thief, neither am I. We even thought that our family is like detective or government agent or something…'

Hiwatari resident

“Dad…”

Satoshi who are in his office are surprise to see a very messy Seiji. “OMG! Seiji, what happen to you?” He rushes to his son in concern.

“Dad, I think there is something wrong with me…” Seiji said as his father lead him to a nearer chair. “I…have been hearing voices and today I change into something…inhuman… I, He…attack someone at school…”

“Oh, God, no…” Satoshi looks horrified. “Dark…”

“How did you know the name? I didn't… It was the name the thing inside me called out to… Dad, what is going on?”

“I'm sorry, son, it's all my fault…”

“Dad?”

“I'm sorry…”

“Dad? Stop it! Just explain please… What is…”

“Of course. Yeah, you're right. I have been meaning to tell you about it, to prepare you…”

“Prepare me?”

Satoshi proceed to tell Seiji the truth about himself, Krad and Dark, Hikari and Niwa, everything there is need to know about.

Niwa resident

It was evening already. Daiki and Kousuke had sent another warning about what Dark is going to steal today.

Much to Riku's and Daichi's dismay, Daichi has to transform again into Dark. Dark even has the time to tease Riku about the past.

Miyuki sat down on the stairs as she watches her father prepares Dark's clothes.

Daisuke and Dark talked about some arts that have been mysteriously released from its seal, about how those arts recently all over the world cause some sort of trouble and about their plan to re-seal it for good.

Miyuki sighed. Now that she has gotten time to think, she felt bad about how she behave toward Dark ever since he shows up. She felt that she has been unfair toward him especially after talking with her great-grandfather, Daiki. She meant to apologize but she doesn't want to do it in front of everyone. She looked down when she accidentally meet Dark's intense eyes.

It was when Dark got back from his heist that he decided to enter not using front door but using the balcony upfront Miyuki's room.

“I'm sorry that I come here in the middle of the night…”

“It's okay. It's not like I am sleeping or anything…”

“We need to talk…”

“Yeah, I know.” Miyuki sighed. “Forgive me for being such a bitch to you recently…”

Dark raised an eyebrow in surprise. “You do?”

“Yeah…” Miyuki turn away so she doesn't have to face Dark. She twiddle her fingers in nervous. “I realize that I have been unfair with you. I'm really sorry…”

Dark smiled genuinely. “I'm sorry too. I have been out of line when talking to you this afternoon…”

Miyuki turns to face Dark. “Yeah, I'm used to it.”

“No, I mean it, I'm really sorry,” Dark said. “I think you're cute…”

Miyuki smiled. “You don't have to sweet-talk me you know…”

“No, really. I really think you're cute ever since we first met.”

“Really?” Miyuki looks embarrassed. She smiles shyly.

“Yeah.” Dark smiled as he touches her cheek gently. “And you need to trust in yourself. That guy, who played on you, he doesn't deserve your attention…”

`Dark, stop that! Don't treat her like… She's my sister, dammit!' Daichi yelled in Dark's head.

Miyuki blushed. “I see you have been talking about me with my brother…”

Dark chuckled. “And he panicked because I'm flirting with you…”

Miyuki turned away to hide her deepened blush. “Well, it is understandable. I mean you are technically my brother too…”

“Yeah. This is the first time I acquired a little sister. Niwa family from generation to generation in the past are always only have one child…be it was boy or girl…”
