' Thoughts'

" Dialog"

Summary: Daisuke is a normal little high school student. He's got friends, bullies, decent grades; all the normal kid stuff, but he also has a special talent for acrobatics and anything involving running and theivery. So good, that his friends dare him to try and keep up with the famous Phantom Thief Dark on his next burglary. With some coaxing from his friends and more than a little curiosity about how far his abilities can really go, Daisuke excepts. Though, I doubt he could have seen this coming…

Disclaimer: If I owned it, D.N. Angel would be so yaoi, it wouldn't make it across the American border.XD

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was Monday. The sun was shining brightly down on Azumano city, a perfect day for swimming, bike riding, or just being outside. The streets were full of people. Toddlers and their mothers, business men and women rushing to work and many groups of teenagers gossiping on their way to high school. The topic of their gossip today was the new note left at the local museum by the infamous Phantom Thief, Dark:

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Tonight, at 8:00 p.m. I will steal The Siren

-Dark

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Most of the female population was swooning at the thought of the phantom thief making another appearance. For the last three months, not a single museum in Azumano was safe from Dark. Not to mention that every group of teenagers conversations were in some way related to him. One group of teens in particular, were trying to get their youngest female member, who has been thoroughly smitten by Dark, to calm down.

" Oh! Can you believe it! Dark is going to show himself again! Oooo, I can't wait!" The long, brown haired girl, known as Risa, said in a dreamy tone, both her hand's cupping her blushing face in a swoon as she walked.

" Oh, for gods sakes, Risa! Get a hold of your self! I bet you anything that Dark is nothing but an egotistical, perverted, jack-ass!" a reddish-brown haired girl, known as Riku, exclaimed exasperatedly to her twin sister. Riku was the older of the two, though you really couldn't tell. The only things setting them apart were their hair styles and personalities.

" I don't care if he's more evil than Attila The Hun! I need to get a good shot of him!" a spiky haired boy said, flipping through his stack of Dark photos, mainly consisting of blurred, black figures running from hordes of police. " I don't understand! I always get in the best positions possible and I still can't get a decent picture of him!"

" Takeshi, how dare you imply that a creature of such beauty and grace could be evil!" Risa yelled, turning red with anger. Takeshi backed away slowly from the enraged brunette, tucking his pictures safely into his bag.

" Chill out Risa! Why are you sticking up for a thief?" Riku asked, rolling her brown eye's, before settling them on the quiet, fiery red head next to her. " Your quiet, Daisuke. Something on your mind?"

" Yeah, man. You haven't said a word since we left for school." Takeshi piped, seizing the opportunity to distract the rabid fan girl. Daisuke blinked, staring at the group as though he had just come out of a daze. He had been thinking about what his mother had said to him this morning after he had broken through every locked door blocking his way to the kitchen as his normal morning training.

"My baby Daisuke!" she cried, her eye's welling with tear's, " He's a regular Dark!"

The greatest Niwa family secret was that every single Niwa child, minus a few rebellious weirdo's here and there, had been trained in the arts of thievery. Acrobatics, lock picking, stealth, the whole nine yards was part of the training Daisuke had gone through since he was old enough to walk. His mother, Emiko, was extremely proud of her son for being so particularly good at it. His mother was also a huge fan of Dark. So when she said he was a regular Dark, he felt unbelievable pride and embarrasment for such high praise. Of course, he wasn't going to say anything to his friends about any of it.

" I don't mean to be quiet. I was just thinking." Daisuke said softly, looking both ways before heading across the street.

" What about?" Risa asked, her rage forgotten.

" I'm just hoping the gym teacher will put up the obstacle course again. It was so much fun!" he lied. Well, it wasn't really a lie. He did hope the obstacle course would be up again, and it was fun.

" Are you kidding me?" Takeshi yelled in outrage, " I got tangled in the climbing net! Risa was to scared to climb the latter! Riku couldn't make it over the wall, and don't even get me started on the other kids!"

" Come to think of it, you're the only one that didn't have any trouble. In fact, you're the only one who made it to the end. How did you do it Daisuke?" Risa asked. It wasn't that the others couldn't have made it to the end, they just ran out of time. Daisuke got an A+ for that display.

" Well, I'm not that good." Daisuke murmured, bowing his head to hide the blush spreading across his face,

" I'm just fast."

" Bull shit." Takeshi stated bluntly.

" Takeshi!" Riku scolded, " Watch your mouth, you want to get in trouble with the teachers at school?"

" No."

" Good. Speaking of which, where here and are going to be late if we don't hurry!" Riku took off, just barely getting the sentence out before disappearing through the school's front doors.

" Wait for me, Riku!" Risa called, sprinting after her twin. The two boys stood there for a moment, staring at where the twins had been.

" I'll meet you at lunch, Daisuke!" Takeshi said, running after the two. Daisuke followed, wondering what his mother had packed him for lunch today.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lunch- Daisuke's POV

The lunch room was crowded and full of noise. Kids were running around, goofing off, ect. I stood near the door with my lunch in hand, scanning the crowds for my friends. I couldn't see them so I decoded check my lunch. ' Turkey sandwich, can of pop, cookie…'

"Hey, Daisuke!"

I looked up from my lunch to a waving Takeshi, currently seated with the twins. " Come over here will, ya?"

I noticed something strange about them. They looked excited about something. Takeshi was grinning like an mad man and Riku and Risa looked about to burst with giggles. I brushed it off and walked over, setting my lunch bag next to Takeshi's. " How ya doin', Daisuke?" Takeshi asked, still grinning. It was creeping me out.

" I'm okay. How about you?"

" Where fine." They all said in unison. Now I was scared.

" Are you sure? Your all acting kind of funny."

" We got a dare for you Daisuke!" Risa blurted, earning her a glare from Takeshi and Riku.

" You weren't supposed to say anything yet, you block head!" Riku yelled, Takeshi backing her up.

" What dare?" I didn't like it when my friends thought up dares. They were always something outrageous.

" Well…." Takeshi paused and pretended to be nonchalant, " Keep up with Dark long enough to get a good picture." I blinked a few times before screaming loud enough for the whole lunch room to hear.

" WHAT?" I looked at Takeshi as if he had grown another head. Takeshi just stared back at me with a serious expression.

" I'm serious, Daisuke. I dare you to keep up with Dark long enough to get a picture. A good picture." Takeshi was now staring me down, making me unconsciously fidget.

" I couldn't keep up with Dark! I mean he's…well… he's Dark!" I whimpered, trying to find a way out of this.

" I say you can! Come on, Daisuke! Please! I need that picture and you need a confidence boost! We can help each other! What's the worst that can happen?" Takeshi begged, completely abandoning the original tactic of intimidating Daisuke into it. " Please!"

" Yeah, Daisuke! We know you can do it!" Riku said encouragingly.

" Even if he is the most wonderfully gifted and handsome being to ever grace this earth with his presence…" Risa said softly, spacing off in a dreamy stare. Riku rolled her eyes, before trying to coax Daisuke into the dare.

" Well…" Daisuke started.

" Come on?"

" Please?"

" Ok! I'll do it, just let me eat my lunch! Yeesh…"

" Woohoo! I'm finally gonna' get a good pick of Dark! Yes!" Takeshi said, before helping Riku try to get Risa out of her daze. I sat there, staring at my lunch with absolutely no appetite. ' I have to keep up with Dark? I know I'm fast, but keep up with DARK?… I guess there's no harm in trying…' I thought, picking up my turkey sandwich, but not able to do more than pick at it because of my flopping stomach.
