"There is something strange
down by the cemetery
emptying the graves
left and right
Ghastly schemes and
ghoulish undertakings
underneath the pale moonlight.
Death is my business and business is good!"
-Grave Robber At Large
The blue haired man stood in the cemetery late at night, watching his young apprentice dig. "Hurry up, Len. We'll be caught if you're not quick enough." He whispered urgently. The young blonde poked his head up from the hole and looked up at the older man, annoyed. "What the hell do you think I'm trying to do down here, Kaito? Those damn flower roots from the surrounding plots keep blocking my way!" he whispered angrily back. "I don't care, just get our corpse and get it to Gakupo as quick as you can." Kaito replied. Len rolled his eyes and went back to digging. A few minutes later, he hit the coffin. Inside, a peaceful looking blonde woman lay with flowers beneath her hands. "Got her, boss! One Neru Akita, coming up!" Len whispered up. Kaito nodded, and grabbed Neru's corpse that was being handed to him by his young apprentice. Len quickly climbed out of the hole, grabbed the body, and ran to where their client's cart was waiting.
"Here you are, sir. Plot 12B: Neru Akita." Len said, handing the corpse over to Gakupo. The horses tied to the cart nickered, as if they could tell something was off about the young woman their master held. "Er, yes. Now, you'll be expecting payment for your-ah-services?" Gakupo asked, nervously fumbling with his wallet. Len sighed. Clients with consciences were so annoying. "Relax. It's not like we'll be caught." the blonde said, putting his hand out to receive the money. He had been doing this for a few months now, and there was an obvious toll on his body, even though Len pretended it didn't affect him. There were dark circles under his eyes, and he was deathly pale and skinny. "I look," Len thought, "like the corpses I work with." He chuckled dryly and pocketed the money Gakupo handed him before jogging back to Kaito to report.
"Good job, Len. He even tipped us!" Kaito said with a laugh. Len smirked. Most of the time, clients just grabbed everything in their wallets and shoved it into Len's hands before running off, and Gakupo was no exception. "Another doctor, too, so the tip was good." Len said with a smirk. He and Kaito began to laugh, but stopped abruptly when the saw the pastor approaching. "Dammit! Though he was taking the night off." Kaito muttered before smoothing his silk vest and tie (hey, grave robbers were paid well) and waving the pastor down.
Kaito was the first person you would want with you if you were trapped in a sticky situation. He could talk his way out of anything. "Hello, Pastor Carter. It appears we've stumbled across another grave robbery." he said. The pastor simply sighed. "Another? Well, tell young Len here to go call the police and you and I'll look over the scene." he said. Kaito nodded. "Of course. Len, be a good lad and go alert Scotland Yard, would you?" he said. Len gave him a smile and a nod before running off towards the church. The police had been skeptical of the duo when the grave robberies had first started, but now believed they simply enjoyed taking nightly strolls through the graveyard. They also believed Kaito was a relative of Len's, and neither of them were in a hurry to correct them. After all, "relative" sounded much less strange then "apprentice grave robber". Thus, Len and Kaito could continue to walk the streets of London without a bounty on their heads. "It doesn't look like there are any clues, Kaito." the pastor said. "Of course there aren't. Len isn't THAT careless. " Kaito thought, while nodding in agreement. "The phantom thief eludes us again!" he said in mock anger while trying to hide his smirk.
A/N: So? How is it? I think this song suits Len and Kaito. Let me know if you have any suggestions or constructive criticism. Ciao!
