Thief of the Heart Chapter 12

Chapter 12

(Note: This is Midnight's point of view, not mine.)

My eyes slowly opened and I looked around. I was standing in the bathroom at the Niwa's house. It was a medium sized room. But with me there. Super. Just when I thought Ally and I had a good plan, we were about to blow it. She obviously fell in love with my older brother Dark fast and, like Daisuke, she transformed.

I looked in the mirror. My clothes were the ones Ally wore yesterday when she came over here and spent the night. Running a hand through my silky purple hair, I sighed.

"It's good to get out every now and then," I told myself (and Ally). "But not at a time like this." I thought for a second. "Ally, you there?"

'Yeah,' I heard her voice in my head.

"I was wondering…" I tried to control my temper. "How and why did you transform? Obviously you fell in love with Dark, but why now?"

'I don't know,' she replied. 'I just looked at him and I saw the scar on his back from the wound. I felt like crying, but my body felt weird like you were coming out.'

I sighed and sat on the toilet, the cover down of course. "Well, I don't know exactly how  I'm supposed to transform back to you, but," I smirked. "While I'm here, might as well have some fun."

'Don't do anything too bad, Midnight!' Ally yelled.

"Yeah, yeah," I waved my hand at an imaginary fly. Then put my hand to my chin. "But…what to do, what to do…" I snapped after a few minutes. "What time does Dark have to train?"

'Noon, why?' Ally asked.

"Just wondering." I looked at Ally's watch on my wrist. "It's 11 o'clock now. You woke up at about…10:30, right?"

'Yeah…' she replied. 'Why are you asking all these questions?'

"No reason," I lied. "Dark should be getting ready for training now. He usually gets ready an hour before and it usually takes an hour for Emiko to set up, so…" I stood and walked over to the laundry basket on the opposite wall and began to rummage through it.

'Midnight, what are you planning?' Ally asked.

"You'll see."

After a few seconds of rummaging, I found and took out a pair of Dark's black pants, one of his shirts, and one of his hoodies. They were baggy on me, so I could hide my feminine figure. I put on the shirt first and that alone hid my torso. Now it was on to the next article of clothing.

The pants were next to go on. They were a bit big on me, but there was one of Dark's belts nearby and that held them up. Then I put on the hoodie and I did not even bother to pull out my ponytail so it would stay hidden. I put the hood up and I looked like Dark.

'MIDNIGHT!' Ally screamed. 'What are you doing looking like Dark?!'

"You'll see," I replied.

A bang at the door made me jump. "Ally? You alright in there?" Dark's voice asked on the other side of the door.

"Perfect timing," I said to myself. I grabbed a towel nearby and put my hand on the handle. Flinging the door open, I threw the towel over Dark's head before he could see me.

"What the-?!" he tried to take the towel off but I was too quick for him. I grabbed his arms and threw him into the room. Closing the door, I used a sealer magic to keep him there and some magic to make him unconscious for an hour so I can go through with the plan.

'MIDNIGHT!' Ally now yelled loud at me. 'Why did you do-?!'

"It gets better." I replied before she could finish. I walked over to the living room door and stepped in. Daiki was on the couch still watching television and drinking his tea. Thinking he didn't notice me, I walked as silent as a thief (*laughs* just had to put that in there).

"Hey, Dark," he said. "You should head downstairs right now. Emiko is expecting you."

"Okay," I lowered my voice a whole octave to match Dark's voice. "I just forgot something in Daisuke's room. I'll be down there in a minute." I continued my way to the stairs.

Once in Daisuke's room, I laughed. "How do you think that went, Ally?" I asked in my regular voice.

'MIDNIGHT!' she screamed again. Man, she was losing it. Soon her voice will go too. 'Why did you do that to Dark?!?!'

"I just wanna have some fun. I've been gone for over 70 years." I said honestly. "Just let me finish."

'NO WAY!' but I didn't listen to Ally. I grabbed a fake Amulet of the Heart Daisuke told Ally about yesterday at school. They went on and on and on about Dark's training for what seemed like hours. Then, stuffing the necklace into the pocket of Dark's hoodie, I went downstairs.

"I'm going downstairs now." I used Dark's voice again to talk to Daiki.

"I'm coming too," he turned off the television and stood up. Then he walked over to me. "Let's go." he walked ahead to the door to the hallway.

We walked down the hall until we reached a black door that lead to the basement. Daiki opened the door.

"Let's go, Dark," he said.

"Sure," I said in Dark's voice sarcastically. "What's more fun to do than train for a stupid theft Saturday?" I followed him down the spiral steps and to the fire pit. "I want to do something fun. Like going outside to enjoy the snow."

"You feeling okay, Dark?" Daiki asked.

"Oh yeah," I crossed my arms. "Right now, I'm training when I could be kissing girls, like Ally."

My head suddenly felt warm. Ally must be blushing.

"Dark!" Kosuke snapped at me. "You need to take this seriously! Do you want to get hurt on Saturday?"

It was silent for a bit. Only the crackling of the fire echoed through the room.

"Fine." I broke the silence. "Let's get this boring training over with so I can go hit on girls. Besides, why should I care about some stupid training?"

"Dark!" Emiko was the next to snap at me. "If you don't take this seriously, you can get seriously hurt!"

"So what?" I sighed. "I've been in many fights with Krad and got seriously hurt, but I'm still here! So I'll be fine!" I began to walk upstairs. "Just look what happened yesterday."

"Dark," Towa's voice stopped me. I looked at her.

"What do you want, Miss Birdie?"

Her face got red with anger. "You barely survived from yesterday, but this theft is more dangerous than you can imagine. You can die."

"I won't die," I scoffed and left through the door even before the training could even begin.

"How'd you like that?" I asked Ally while going to the bathroom to put the clothes I was wearing on Dark to make it look like he did it.

Ally growled. 'I hated it. Why did you do that anyways?'

"For fun! I care about Dark, but I wanted to see Emiko get mad at Dark for blowing off training."

I took off the spell on the door and opened it to see Dark still passed out on the floor, towel over his head. Taking off the clothes that rightfully belonged to him, I put them on Dark and set him near the laundry basket. To make sure Emiko, Kosuke, Towa, and Daiki thought Dark went into the bathroom, I slammed the door.

'LET'S CHANGE BACK! NOW!' Ally yelled.

"Sure. I'm done, so…"

'How do you change back into me?' Ally asked as I sat on the couch in the spot where she slept.

"I'll change back whenever I think of…" I turned on the television and the first thing I saw was Satoshi on the news talking about previous thefts by Dark. "Satoshi…"

I felt my strength diminish as Ally took back control of her body and we transformed
