"Wait, you!" A red haired boy screamed while panting.
A black figure jumped across rooftops and ignored the red haired boy's command. He jumped onto the blue rooftop, trying to land as lightly as possible as to not wake up anyone. But the red haired boy was obviously ignoring them and yelling at the top of his lungs. The thief continued jumping while looking at the bottle that he had just stolen. It was a simple bottle, but its design was beautiful. The blue color would shine brighter when light passed through it. It was really beautiful. But it wasn't his fault that he had to steal it. The red haired boy was still chasing after him.
"Damn it!" The thief heard the police officer say, "GET DOWN HERE NOW!"
The thief heard a click and looked down from the rooftops. The policeman had pulled out his gun and pointed it at him. A little girl came out of her room, staring at the police officer. She was still sleepy, but she came out to see what was going on and gave a small shriek as the policeman opened fire. The thief jumped down from the rooftop and received the blow from the bullet and fell on the balcony of where the little girl was. The little girl panicked, thinking of calling her parents and ran off, leaving her doll on the floor.
"I got him!" The red haired boy smiled.
The thief grimaced at the pain and looked up. He could see through the cracks of the rail that the policeman was trying to get up to where he was. The bullet hit him in the shoulder. It shouldn't be a big deal if he could continue jumping. At least all he had to do was reach his home. He looked at the bottle and checked if it was unharmed. Not a single crack was visible. The thief stood up and almost lost power in his legs, but managed to jump down from the balcony onto the street and disappeared into the dark ally.
"Sir, what are you doing in my house?!" A woman screamed.
"Sorry ma'am! There's a thief in your house and I'm afraid he could've escaped!" The red haired boy explained while running towards the balcony.
He reached the balcony, but found nothing but blood. The woman and her daughter went back to sleep after the policeman apologized and continued his pursuit. He followed the blood into the dark ally and went up steps. He went past a shrine and then the blood disappeared. He looked in front of him and there was a house. The lights were off and he would have to get a search warrant if he wanted to enter that house. He had found the thief's home and that was all he needed. He headed down back the steps when he heard the lights flicker on.
"Ouch..." the policeman heard from inside the house.
He opened the gate quietly and readied his gun. Before he opened the door, a pale boy with black hair slid the door open. The policeman was startled and placed his gun back on his belt.
"I'm sorry to bother you, sir, but there is a thief roaming around this area. May I have your permission to search inside?" The red haired boy asked.
The black haired boy looked down at his badge towards his name plate, Matsuoka Rin. He nodded and let the policeman search in his house. Nothing was found. The cloak the thief wore, the bottle and all the missing items that he had stolen. This house was clean. The red haired boy's eye twitched.
"Sorry sir." He felt really embarrassed.
"That's ok." The boy replied.
The red haired policeman recognized his voice, "Are you...?"
The pale boy looked at him in confusion, "Yes?"
"Are you okay? When I got here, I heard you say 'ouch'." He knew it wasn't in his position to be so concerned, but he felt that this boy might have possibly been the thief that he was chasing after.
"Ahhh...about that," he started to say, "I was trying to drink some water, but I accidentally hit the knife and it cut me on the shoulder."
The policeman couldn't believe this male's stupidity, "WAIT. AND YOU DIDN'T EVEN TEND TO IT?"
The boy shook his head, "But I'll be able to do it once you leave."
The policeman looked at him, "What's your name?"
"I'm...Nanase." He looked at the police officer, "Nanase Haruka."
