One For The Money

This was inspired by an RP idea I had with a friend, and it is pretty much the same plot... kinda the same... (okay I copied it word for word! don't kill me! .~.) In which Gin is...nah I won't spoil it it for you.

On a calendar it was a long time ago, but to me, it rang clear like the alarm going off in our 'apartment'. My past, the things that lead up to this point, learning how to con. I remember how I first met them... Tosen and Aizen
68 days Without warmth.
Winter was early that year, but along with it came cold. Deep Cold. The kind that gets stuck in your bones and won't leave. Snow fell in October and didn't stop, no wouldn't stop. It hurt to breathe.
I was nine and was living in the streets, cold and alone, but that winter I learned to steal pocket change without notice. I felt nothing less than joy when I took people's wallets and rings. I could sell those things and be set for a week of three meals a day in a warm place. Back then that was worth killing for to me, the warmth and food, the feeling of being full. I got really good, then really great, then just cocky.
Two men walked by my alley, both with different forms of glasses. The one with brown, wavy hair pushed back, had sunglasses on. The other, a black lean man, had glasses that seemed to be made of pure white. I had heard of to rich men coming to town for a will reading, and I guessed it was them and that they were loaded. I waited for them to come closer before I stole from them, but I was sloppy and I messed up. The one with the all white glasses pinned me to the wall and I could now see that he was CLEARLY blind.
"Hey! Ouch! you're hurting me!" I squeaked said in a manly voice
A low chuckle could be heard from the one with sunglasses, "Aw, T, we were having such a lovely walk. Why would you stop to pin this boy to the wall? Are you feeling pedobear-ish today?"
"Sir, this boy tried to steal the will," said the blind man in a deeply annoyed tone, "and he almost did..."
"Boy? are you as bad at stealing things as you were with us?" the sunglasses showed me my reflection and in them I could see how confused I was that he was wearing sunglasses in winter
"N-N-No sir. I'm quite better. Please don't hurt me" I squeaked again said even manlier
"I won't, T will if I ask him, he owes me his life you know. Anyway, go steal from that man across the street, do your best and I won't order Tosen to kill you"
I swallowed and scrambled from the man, who I now knew was T, and jogged to the man in question.
He had A tattoo of a line and a 69 on his face and he looked like he wanted to kill something. He glared at me and I past by but in a quick motion I stole his wallet, spare change, and a small microphone device when we went separate ways. Then ran back to them in a CLASSY fashion...(NO I DID NOT TRIP! A)
T took the microphone and stomped on it, "We are we to talk now, sir"
The other nodded and looked at me, "very well. He was spying on us to learn about what we were trying to pull...We are con men, very good ones at that, and we needed a thief...perhaps your the one we should train..."
"A! We can't trust him! He seems so weak, didn't you see him trip on his way back?"
"Well of course he is NOW, but if we train him he will become better..."
Tosen turned to me, "What is your name?...and how old are you, you seem like you would be short for your age"
I swallowed suddenly hating how they were planning my future for me, "Why should I? What if I don't want to come with you? I bet there is a pretty high price on your head and I'll have enough money to eat for a year off of it!"
A chuckled more and lifted my chin up, "You live in this alley don't you? Cold and alone? Bet you barely eat off the money you steal. Bet you sleep in cold that would kill some people instantly... You could do a lot with billions of dollars, get a nice, warm house, feast like a king,and buy friends...That sound nice to you, or would you tell on us, get fifteen minutes of fame, get a few meals, and eventually be forgotten about to rot in the cold again?"
"What is it boy?"
"He is smart, I can tell. He'll make the right choice. Until then lets go T"
"WAIT!" I shouted as they walked away, "I want that...I want it really bad...can you really give it to me?"
A smirked, "Depends. You going to betray us?"
"No, I won't. Y-You won't cheat me out of my money right?...Y-Y-You won't leave me right?"
A looked at me and took off his sunglasses. His eyes were piercing brown and they seemed to have some sympathy and understanding in them. A certain compassion only gained from going through the same hell, "No. You join us and you're our partner. I promise we wont ditch you like those people who left you here..." He held out his hand and I took it. "Now what is your name?"
"GIN! TURN OFF THE DAMN ALARM CLOCK!" Tosen yelled from the other room were he could be heard typing away.
I groaned and hit the button and read the clock
5:00 AM
Damn. I spaced out for thirty minutes? No wonder Tosen yelled.
My alarm clock was a very old model but Tosen had messed with it and made it scream 'GET THE FUCK UP!', (very very effective by the way) and listening to it for more than two minutes drove people crazy.
"Sorry Tosen."
"Eh. Go get my morning snack, then we are even."
I sat up and stretched groaning and sore. Sleeping on the floor was not good for the back but we couldn't help it. We three got this Loft as a base of operations. Beds, Food, pretty much all furniture, was unnecessary and a waste of our money. All of it went to our (not ours. Solely Tosen's. Go ahead, try to touch it and see how much longer your alive... here is a hint, NOT. VERY. LONG.) computers and such. Whatever was left we used for clothes to make it seem like we were rich. Tailored suits, tailored other thingies...I think we even wore tailored socks... Anyway that made the loft bare bones which made it feel cold and empty like someone who just moved in.
I got up and dressed in one of my suits and walked into the other room and confirmed my earlier guess. Tosen was on his computer typing madly mumbling and drinking green tea from a two-liter bottle.
"This fire wall is a joke on the outside but each level is harder. I bet it is booby trapped in the later walls...Heh, first wall down in a minute"
"Working fast there."
"Actually no Gin, In the coming weeks I can only hack through the walls in separate parts. The main one is going to be hacked through here while the payroll accounts will be hacked through the job. The walls aren't as hard from this computer but they are booby trapped in case some hacker employee gets to smart for his own good. But I am better than some wannabe, so it wont be to hard, just long. Booby traps take a long time to defuse."
"That sounds complicated. So I'm forgetting every word, so what are you hungry for? Danish or something?"
"A blueberry something. Now go or you'll be late to be early"
I walked to our under used fridge and pulled out a blueberry muffin I neglected and put in the microwave. Tosen 'looked' up as i place the warm muffin on a plate and next to him on the floor. It scared me how even though he was blind he could do so many things. Maybe he could see a bit, it would explain how he could hack.
"Tosen, how do you do it?"
"I'm not going to teach you about the birds and the bees, Gin."
"NO! HOW CAN YOU HACK AND DO ALL THIS OTHER SHIT WITHOUT SIGHT?"
"I sense things, therefore I can see."
"That doesn't make any sense"
"Yes it does. You're just an idiot." he scoffed and ignored me.
I sighed and brushed my hair and picked up my suitcase and before leaving asked, "Is he there?"
"Since Four AM at least."
I nodded and left, closing the door behind me.
As I walked to work the world seemed to wake up around me and every few minutes more and more people were on the streets silently walking to work along with me. As I got to the glass doors of 'Trading Corp' I took a deep breath and mumbled "Today is the day, Gin. Don't mess it up, you know better."
And with that I walked in, Ready for another day, but today HE would be beginning to run his con. Flirting and marrying the stupid stick with boobs. And that...killed me on the inside
So what do you think? More to come if your interested!
