Chapter 5

"Oh my gosh, Brianna!" I announced loudly to my friend. "You will never guess what happened to me yesterday!"

We were looking for our usual bench we always sat at during lunch. Luckly, it was vacant, like it is every day.

"What?" she replied after taking a seat on the bench.

I sat down right next to her and put down my lunch, then turned towards her. "Dark Mousy asked me out!" I had to control myself from keeping from screaming out loud.

"Is that what he talked to you about yesterday after the snowball fight?" she unwrapped her box lunch and picked up a pair of chopsticks.

I nodded as I unwrapped my lunch. "Yep!" I took a bite of rice and chewed it quickly. Swallowing, I continued. "But when I got home, I told my mom that I fell out the window in the stairwell and was at the hospital. That's my explanation for the shoulder." I placed a hand on my shoulder. "I also told my mom that I was late getting home because…" I paused, then sighed. "Daisuke asked me out on a date."

"Why'd you tell her Dai asked you out, and not Dark?" Brianna tilted her head slightly to the right.

"Because she doesn't like Dark since he's a thief. If I told her that Dark asked me out, she'd kill me!" I answered. "So I called Dark after the conversation and told him to pick me up as Dai and change into Dark when we're a safe distance from my house."

Brianna took another bite from her sushi. "Wow, sounds complicated."

"Nah," I replied. "It'll work out." I crossed my legs and kicked back, using my chopsticks to roll around a small clump of rice. "Besides, what could go wrong? If something went awry, the Phantom Thief will be there to protect everyone." I picked up my water bottle and took a drink.

"So, you two going out as boyfriend and girlfriend?"

I almost spat out the water in my mouth when I heard Brianna say that. "No way!" I retorted. "Just as friends!"

"Yeah, yeah," she put the lid on her box. "Hey, why don't you come over to my house after school for a little bit?"

"Sure," I put the lid on my box and stood up just as the bell rang. "Let's go. I don't wanna be late."

We walked to class together. I was wondering why Brianna asked me to come over suddenly.


After school, Brianna and I were walking over to her house when Daisuke ran up to us.

"What did you tell your mom, besides the dating thing?" he asked.

"Oh, I told her my shoulder got hurt because we were walking up the stairwell and I slipped and fell out the window and was in the hospital until school got out and you walked me home." I replied easily.

"Oh," he sighed. "Where you two headed now?"

Brianna leaned over towards me and whispered in a low voice so Daisuke couldn't hear, "Nosy, huh?"

"We're headed to Brianna's house," I replied. "Wanna come?"

"Sure, if Brianna's okay with it," he looked over to her.

"It's fine with me," she shrugged.

A few minutes later, we arrived at Brianna's house.

"Please come in." she said with a smile.

We walked in and took our shoes off at the door.

"I want to show you my room. Follow me," she walked up the stairs. I followed closely behind her, followed by Daisuke. He knew we couldn't let our guards down or something bad might happen, like Krad appearing suddenly.

Brianna stopped in front of a door and touched the handle. "Here we are."

She opened it up and all three of us stepped inside. Daisuke's mouth hung open wide and so did mine. Brianna was only fifteen and she was an amazing artist. Paintings hung on the walls looked as if they'd been painted by DaVinchi. Blank and half-painted canvases littered the floor, along with paints, brushes, and tarps.

"I know, but I just love to paint. Runs in the family," Brianna told us.

"It's okay," I retorted. "I like to draw, but it's not as good as this!"

Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed Daisuke tense up like he does when Dark's talking to him. Brianna didn't seem to notice because she kept on walking through her maze of paint supplies. I wanted to know what he said, but I waited.

"So why'd you want us to come over?" I asked.

"Yeah, I got to get home." Daisuke said. "I need to…get my homework done."

"I just wanted to talk," she sat on her bed and sighed. She pulled open a drawer on her nightstand and pulled out a camera. "And take a picture of you two. I wanna paint a picture of you."

"Why not now?" I picked up a blank canvas and placed it on her easel. Then I sat down on the bench next to it. Daisuke sat next to me.

"Sure, it'll be much better than a plain old picture." she put the camera away and sat on the stool in front of her canvas. Then she began to eyeball the canvas, then me and Daisuke, then back to the canvas. "It may take a while, but I'll try to be done as soon as possible, 'kay?"

"Alright," Daisuke sighed.

Brianna picked up a few brushes laying nearby as well as a plate that holds paints in little round divots. She then filled those holes with various colors. Then, dipping her small brush into the black paint, she began to paint on the canvas. Every now and then, she'd look over at us and paint again.

"Done," she sighed after about an hour and a half. "What do you think?"

Daisuke and I stood up and looked at the painting. It looked just like us: Daisuke's spikey bright red hair and my brunette hair laying just past my shoulders was accented beautifully with barely faded blonde streaks.

"Wow, it's so…" I was at a loss for words.

"Beautiful." Daisuke finished my sentence. He looked at his watch and almost screamed. "It's 4:30! I need to be home in 22 minutes!" he ran out the door.

"I'll see you later 'kay?" I told Brianna.

"Okay, bye," she replied. "Thanks for coming over."

I nodded as I shut the door.

Outside the house, Daisuke waited for me. "I really need to get home if I wanna get ready for our date at 5:30."

"Okay, so," I sighed. "What did Dark say?"

"He said that he's suspicious because Hiwatari also likes to paint, so she may be related in some way." Daisuke answered.

"No way!" I shouted. "That's silly Dark!"

Daisuke tensed up a bit. Then he relaxed and sighed. "Dark said it's a possibility."

"No way, Dark," I huffed as I walked away from him.

As usual, Daisuke caught up to me instantly. We walked in silence back to our houses. Daisuke's house was first, then mine was just about a mile away.

We stopped in front of his house and Daisuke looked at me.

"I guess I'll see you at 5:30," he told me before walking up to the door.

"See you later," I replied as I continued walking to my house.

I had so much on my mind. So much that it was crazy. My mom had to work until seven tonight, so I had time to sort everything out and….

"Oh crap!" I slapped my forehead. I needed to call Daisuke and tell him he could come as Dark since my mom had to work. Putting my feet to work, I walked fast to get home.

About five minutes into my walk from Daisuke's house, I got tired and began to pant. Asthma is a pain in the butt. Especially in winter. As I grabbed my knees and tried to catch my breath, I had forgotten why I was walking fast. My head ached so badly that everything was a blur as my thoughts ran wild in my brain.

Once I caught my breath, my mind came to and I remembered I needed to call Daisuke. I began walking again, slower this time. My house was on the other side of a short bridge at the end of a cliff that began half a mile away from my house.

I arrived at it and looked across the bridge to see my house. The cliff was about a football field long. My eyes scanned the houses until I saw it at a curve far away, but close enough to see. Placing a hand on the rope, I took one step onto the bridge.

And then it happened.

A sword with what looked like a golden handle swung in front of me and the rope of the bridge snapped. The bridge fell and broke into a million bits. As the pieces fell into the ocean, I caught my balance and stumbled back to see a shadow with wings and long hair on the ground. I gasped and nervously looked slowly back to see who it was.

"K-Krad," I whispered to myself as I saw who it was.
Chapter 6 shall be more exciting. It will have a little story I kinda wrote in creative writing class.
I hate cliffhangers, but I thought the story needed at least one of them. So here ya go.

Oh, and later in the series, like towards the end, I shall introduce my own two original characters. The way they are introduced is an idea my friend gave me when I went to her house to hang out. So I shall use a cliffhanger then when I introduce the first one out of the two, then the second one will be introduced the chapter after that. I'll tell in the comments that they are going to be in the next chapter. So look out for that.

I thought you would. Glad to know my cliffhanger worked.
I shall post chapter 6 soon, then chapter 7 probably will be about what was said in the beginning of this chapter. What do you think?
