(A/N: Thank you for reviewing and reading this story. I didn't know if it was too boring or not. Either way I'm gonna keep updating because I have the goal to finish this story.

About the picture at the top. It's a general idea of what Kohana (Hikari) looks like. I tried finding an accurate picture of her on google but you know how that goes... It's very difficult lol. Also just so you know, she usually wears different color contacts and wigs to disguise herself but the one at the top is what she really looks like. Pretending there are also red highlights of course ;)

Takuto's POV With The Black Foxes (At LRN)

A few days has passed since we last saw Kohana. She said she had to go home but of course we didn't believe it. Weird thing is, was that she never came back ever since. Was this a come and go thing???

(Hikari looks at me)

Takuto: "..."

(Hikari looks at Riki.)

Riki: "..."

(Then Hiro)

Hiro: "..."

(Ken)

Kenshi: "..."

(Beardy) (A/N: Remember... This is Takkun's POV!! xD)

Beardy: "..."

Hikari: "???"

Everyone: "..."

Hikari: "Okay that's it! What is with you guys? Why the dead silence?"

Hiro: "Huh? Oh, nothing..."

Takuto: Kohana finally admitted on that day that she did hacked into the electricity and stole the painting afterwards but went home without it... Weird girl... So yeah... We still have it...

Riki: "... I remembered that I had a late meeting today." He waved and left.

Hiro: "Oh! My project is at school!"

Hikari: "Want me to go with you Hiro?"

Hiro: (smiles) "It's fine! I'll be right back! Now transform, and roll out! ♪"

Takuto: "Geez..." I muttered and headed for the door also. "Work."

Hikari: "This late?"

Takuto: "Not my choice."

Kenshi: "I have to go too! Duty calls!"

Hikari: "Bye..."

(Chime)

Once we all left LRN, we headed towards the dark van.

Riki: "Drive Ken."

Kenshi: "Ya got it!" He gave a thumbs up and gripped onto the steering wheel.

Takuto: I took out my laptop and started typing.

Hiro: "I feel bad for lying..."

Riki: "Hey, you've been doing this for months... You can go for more..."

Hiro: "I know but don't you think it's about time to tell her?"

Kenshi: "You wanna tell her?"

Hiro: "I don't really know..."

Takuto: "Worry about that later. We still have another mystery to solve."

Hiro: "About Kohana?"

I nodded.

Riki: "She just made a magical disappearance..." Pause. "..." Riki looked deep in thought.

Hiro: "What's up Rikkun?" He asked worriedly.

Riki: "Huh? Oh nothing..."

Kenshi: "Well, one things for sure is that Takkun can always track her."

Takuto: "I don't even have her last name how can I find her?"

Riki: "You're smart, you can figure it out." (Winks)

Takuto: "Eww..." I sighed as we stopped in front of a dark building.

Kenshi: "Here we are."

Takuto: "See ya."

Riki: "What do you mean? You're coming with us."

Takuto: "HUH!?!?"

Kenshi's POV

Takuto: "Why...?" He complained as we headed for the building.

Riki: "So you can get the real feel of wandering inside the museum." (Winks)

Takuto: "Do that one more time and I'll..."

Kenshi: "Guys, focus..." I sighed.

Riki & Takkun: "Sorry."

Hiro: "Did you guys hear that?"

Riki: "Hear what?"

(Running in distance)

Takuto: "... That..."

Kenshi: "This scene seems familiar..."

Riki: "You don't think...?"

Hiro: "Guys..."

Kenshi: "What's up?"

Hiro: "The paintings gone..."

All: "NANI!?!?!?" (What!?!?!?)

~~~

Hiro's POV

We all dejectedly climbed back into the van. After many minutes of searching, we gave up for the first time in forever and headed back for LRN.

Riki: "Fail." He clicked his tongue in annoyance.

Takuto: "What gives? It was there before we got there... I checked."

Riki: "Hmm... Park it Ken."

Kenshi: "Kay."

Riki: "Let me think for a minute..." He sat back and held his chin in thought. "What went wrong?"

Kenshi: "We did hear footsteps..."

Takuto: "So you're saying that they took it?"

Riki: "... Most likely."

Hiro: "Do you think it was...?" I asked.

Kenshi: "That could be a possibility..." He answered slowly, knowing what I was getting at.

???: "Hah... When are you ever going to notice that I'm here...?"

All: "!?"

We all looked at the back to see the blanket in the corner lifting up, revealing Kohana.

All: "What the ****!?"

Kohana: "Language guys..." She slowly shook her head and sighed. "It's been a while." She smiles.

Riki: "When did you get in here?!"

Kohana: "Ehh? Not that long... It was a fun ride." She giggled.

Takuto: "???"

Kohana: "So... Did I scare you?"

Takuto: "Tch, of course not..."

Kohana: "Not buying it but... Whatever." She winked. "Next question, did you guys miss me? Answer truthfully..."

Hiro: "Yeah." I answered with a smirk.

Kohana: "!" She looked away and turned deep crimson.

Riki: "Heh..."

Kohana: "Hmmm...." She growled at Riki.

Riki: (smirks)

Kohana: "Hmph!" She sighed and looked at me. "I take it you guys failed your mission?"

Takuto: "How did you know?!"

Kohana: "Because of your reaction." Giggles.

Takuto: -.-

Riki: "Do you know who took the painting?"

Kohana: "Yeah."

All: "WHO?!"

Kohana: "Hehe, me of course!!" ^.^

All: 😱

Kohana: "But sorry, I can't give it to you..."

Takuto: "Why not!?"

Kohana: "..." She remained silent.

Hiro: "?"

Kohana: "Um... It's a long story..."

Takuto: "Then make it short."

Kohana: "It's not that easy you know! Hah..." Sighs sadly.

Riki: "Well um... Wanna come back to LRN with us? I'm sure boss would like to see you."

Kohana: "Thanks."

~~~

Third POV

Boss: "Kohana! Long time no see! How ya been?"

Kohana: "Um... Pretty good how about you?"

The others watched as she had a normal conversation. She then looked over at the boys and stood up from the stool.

Everyone: "?"

She walked over and stopped in front of Hiro.

Kohana: "I changed my mind... um... Here." She took out a scroll from her back pack. "You guys really want it so..." She took his hand and placed the scroll there.

Takuto: "Isn't that...?"

Riki: "That's not the painting is it?" He asked and Kohana nodded.

Hiro: "But why?" He asked and looked into Kohana eyes.

Kohana: "... I want to give it to you guys... I don't have the right to take it... Nor do I want to involved myself in this situation..."

Kenshi: "What... Do you mean?"

Kohana: "Like um... I just don't like my job."

Boss: "As a thief?"

Kohana: "Yeah." She sighed and crossed her arms on the counter. "Is it too late to buy something to eat?" She asked and boss smiled.

Boss: "Course not! It's on the house for you guys. But only today though, I don't wanna run out of supplies---"

Takuto: "Pork noodles!!!" Takuto screamed excitedly.

Boss: "Coming right up! How about you guys?"

Riki: "Eh... I guess I could go for miso soup. Kohana? Want some too?"

Kohana: "Um... If that's okay..."

Hiro: "Of course it's okay! Kohana, you don't have to be so formal. Let your hair down once in a while! ♪"

Everyone: "..."

Kenshi: Breaking the silence. "Any-way..."

Riki: "Are you sure Kohana?"

Kohana: "About what Riki?"

Riki: "About the picture. I'm pretty sure your objective was to get the picture too... Is this alright?"

Kohana: "Yes. I'm positive... I know you guys are doing this for the good. Me... I don't know..."

Hiro: "Well, lets not be down in the dumps and just party. Can you stay for a while?"

Kohana: "I guess for a while wouldn't hurt. If it's okay."

All: "Of course!"

Kohana: "Awe! Thanks guys."

Hikari's POV

Hah... Nothing like a nice bath to make you feel so refreshed! I smiled into the mirror as I stretched. I checked myself one last time and headed downstairs where Atsumu was. "I wonder if the others came back---"

Hiro: "Come on, just a sip?"

???: "Haha, I don't really drink Hiro..." Said a female voice.

Hikari: "That voice sounds familiar..." I muttered to myself as I tiptoed halfway down the stairs and stopped right before they could see me...

Riki: "Kohana!" Riki leaned towards Kohana's face.

Kohana: "Nani?!" She panicked at the unexpected.

Riki: "Sleep with me."

Kohana: "Eyyah! Keeps your hands to yourself you pervert!"

(Smack)

Hiro: "Kohana's very feisty hehe!"

Riki: "Ouch... You could say that again."

Kohana: "You guys are totally drunk..."

Kenshi: "Come on Kohana, have a sip."

Kohana: "But..."

Hiro: "Come on! ♪!" Hiro embraced her.

Hikari: "!!!"

Hiro: "I can pass it through the mouth Kohana..."

Kohana: "H-Hiro!?"

Takuto: "Leaveeee herrrr alone Hirooo..."

Boss: "Are you drunk Takkun?"

Takuto: "Naw... I'm just slurring for the heck of it..."

Kohana: "He's drunk."

Everyone: "Drink Kohana..."

Kohana: "Alright alright quit it already! You guys sound like dead zombies!" Kohana giggled. "I have to warn you though, I never really drink before..."

Hiro: "Don't worry... We won't take advantage of you..." Hiro smirked.

Kohana: "Well that's assuring... 😓" I wasn't even thinking about that, thanks Hiro...

Hikari: "They're not even wondering where I am..." I muttered. "When I'm here, they never had parties like that... Is there something that she knows that I don't?" I swallowed a lump in my throat and continued walking down the stairs casually. "Hey guys."

All except Kohana: "Hikari!?"

Hikari: "You guys look like you saw a ghost. What's up? Is there an occasion for the celebration?" I smiled.

Riki: "Eh?? Oh... Nope, no occasion..."

Hikari: That sounds like a lie... I thought.

Kohana: "Well um... I better get back home. It's getting late."

Hiro: "I'll walk you home."

Hikari: No way... Does he know where she lives!?!?

Kohana: "It's fine... My apartment isn't that far. I'll see you guys later?" She headed for the door.

Boys: "Of course!"

Kohana: "Hehe, bye." She waved and left.

~~~ Still Hikari's POV

Hiro: "Maybe I should've gone with her..." He mumbled and quickly ran out the door.

Hikari: "Wait! Hiro!" I exclaimed and followed out the door. Man, he's gone... I sighed and left to look for him.

Hiro's POV

Man... Talk about over drinking... I just might get a hangover tomorrow...

???: "Where's the painting?!"

???: "I'm sorry, I couldn't get it. The security was surrounding the whole perimeter..."

Hiro: "That voice..." I hid behind the bushes. There, standing in front of an apartment was Kohana and a man. "That must be where Kohana's staying... But who is---"

(SLAP!)

Hiro: "!" I watched in horror as the man slapped Kohana hard across the face.

Kohana: "!!!" She placed her right hand on her now red cheek. Tears started falling and she looked down to cover it. "I... I'm so sorry..."

Man: "..." The man walked up to her and lifted her face. "And you smell of alcohol... But I guess the slap woke you up from your drunk state... Where were you?"

Kohana: "..." She said nothing. And quickly looked away.

Man: "I said, where were you!?" He yanked out a knife and lifted her face with his free hand. He then pushed her hard against the wall. "I'm not afraid of using this on you... I practiced on you for years..." He smirked as Kohana shed tears.

Hiro: "!!!" What the hell does he think he's doing?! Practiced on her?! This man knows that Kohana steals paintings... But...

FLASHBACK

Kohana: "I changed my mind... Um... Here." She took out a scroll from her back pack. "You guys really want it so..." She took my hand and placed the scroll there.

Takuto: "Isn't that...?"

Riki: "That's not the painting is it?" He asked and Kohana nodded.

Hiro: "But why?" I asked and looked into Kohana eyes.

Kohana: "... I want to give it to you guys... I don't have the right to take it... Nor do I want to involved myself in this situation..."

Kenshi: "What... Do you mean?"

Kohana: "Like um... I just don't like my job."

Boss: "As a thief?"

Kohana: "Yeah."

END OF FLASHBACK

Still Hiro's POV

She got in trouble because we have the painting... And because we made her drink... Is this what she means by her not liking her job? Is this how he treats her if she doesn't get what he wants!? How can I help her?!

Man: "I expect you to improve by next week... Do I make myself clear Hikari?"

Kohana: "... Yes father..."

Hiro: "!!!" That's her father!? He's basically abusing her! Wait... Why did he call her Hikari? I clenched my hands and made my way over there. "Hey Kohana."

Man: "?" He quickly put the knife away and raised his eyebrows at me. "Kohana?" He muttered and looked at her.

Kohana: "Um... Ah... Hey." She quickly wiped the tears away and smiled once she saw me.

Hiro: "Sorry to intrude... I'm---"

Kohana: "My new friend, Daisuke." She said quickly.

Hiro: "???" I raised my eyebrows but nodded when Kohana made a 'play along' look.

Man: "I see." He smiled, luckily falling for it. "I'm her father, Mr. Saki." He held out a hand.

Hiro: "Nice to meet you, Mr. Saki." I replied as I shook his hand.

Mr. Saki: "So... When did you meet my daughter?" He smiled.

Hiro: "Oh just recently... She's really nice and beautiful." I winked and Kohana blushed.

Mr. Saki: "That's wonderful. I did tell her to meet some new people after all." He chuckled. "Well, it was nice meeting you Daisuke. Sorry I couldn't stay longer. But I should really get going... Turns out that I have a meeting early in the morning." He said stroking Kohana's hair who winced, which he didn't seem to notice...

Hiro: "Nice meeting you too." I faked a smile while trying to stop myself from lashing at him for hurting her...

Mr. Saki: "I'll see you later." He said to Kohana and left.

Kohana: "..."

Hiro: "..."

Kohana's POV

He didn't hear father call me Hikari... Did he?

Hiro: "..." He kept his gaze on me.

Kohana: "How... Did you know I was here--- (gasp!)" I gasped when Hiro tightly embraced me.

Hiro: "Kohana..." He whispered into my hair.

Kohana: "You're still drunk aren't you?"

Hiro: "Don't change the subject... But to answer your question, no, I'm sober. I saw him hitting and threatening to hurt you..."

Kohana: "Um... It's nothing..." I muttered softly and tears came back into my eyes. I slowly pulled away from him, he grabbed my arms tightly.

Hiro: "He's abusing you against your will! We have to tell the police! ---"

Hikari: "NO!" Those familiar words caused my tears to flow down my face. Hiro... I miss you so much... I fell on my knees and buried my face in my hands. "Wahh!!!"

Hiro: "..." Hiro quietly knelt in front of me and gently wrapped me in his arms as I continued sobbing. "I want you to stay at my house for a while, please..." He gently pried my hands away from my face and wiped away the tears with his thumbs. I nodded and Hiro guided me to his car back at LRN.
