Prologue

A grey clothed woman slinked down the alleyways of Central in the cover of night, her long blonde hair, unbound and flowing behind her. She eyed her target, across the street, with bright orange eyes, unnatural to anything human. The Yoshiho Jewelry Store, boasting to hold a rare ruby necklace, like no other. A sinister grin spread across the woman's face, showing sharp, animal-like fangs. She jumped straight up into the air, almost 20 feet, to land on the building she had been standing next to a few moments earlier. She crouched down, and readied herself, as a cat would prepare to pounce on a mouse. A grey tail, previously hidden inside a long grey trench coat, provided balance, as the woman leapt from one building to the top of the jewelry store, all the way across the street, silently as a ninja. Another sinister grin crossed her face, as she looked over the side of the building. For one of the biggest jewelry stores in Central, the security wasn't very tight. They were, however, prepared for her, she could tell by the guard posted outside the door. This would be fun!

The woman jumped down from the building, landing just as silently ad before, and turned the corner, an innocent smile on her face. The guard jerked his head in the direction of the movement he had seen, "Wh-who's there?" he asked shakily.

"Sorry, sorry!" she said, moving from the shadows, "I didn't mean to scare you" she lied.

"It's no problem miss" the guard said, blushing when he caught sight of the woman's cleavage, on the low-cut shirt she was wearing under the trench coat.

This didn't pass by her, and she smirked subtly.

"You probably should get home, though. There's a thief who's targeting this building tonight." The guard warned, scratching the back of his neck.

"I know" the woman said, that sinister grin crossing her face again, "She's right in front of you" she announced, hitting the guard in the back of the neck, in a certain place, to render him unconscious.

She approached the door, pushing on it lightly, and the bells on it jingled. She cursed softly, shoving the door all the way open, and slipping into the shadows, since the entire building was unlit, and the only light provided came from the quarter-moon outside. The guards approaching the door would be at a disadvantage, since they couldn't see in the dark. That was the plus side of having DNA that was fused with that of a cat, all the abilities of said animal became hers. She silently jumped up onto one of the glass cases in the store, and crouched down. She jumped to the case near the one she was on, causing the guards to jerk their heads in the direction of the motion they saw from the corner of their eyes.

The grey-clad woman jumped from case to case, the guards following her, until she reached the back of the room. She looked over her shoulder at the guards, orange eyes holding a malicious glint, as she smirked, allowing a fang to show. She jumped from the case she was perched on, to the floor, and sauntered over to a small square case at the very back of the room.

"Stop right there!" a guard called, pointing a finger a few inches from the woman's face. She looked at the offending digit for a few seconds, and blinked twice. She leaned an arm on the case and chuckled. "Don't laugh! You're under arrest!" the same guard shouted, pulling out a pair of handcuffs.

Ah, so they were policemen, not guards. The woman pulled a grey glove off her fight hand, revealing a hand somewhat human, but with claw-like fingernails tipping each finger. The policemen gawked at the woman in shock. Then the thief casually traced a circle in the glass with a claw-like nail. She blinked at them again, and smirked, forming a fist with her bare hand, she punched through the glass case, a loud crash echoing throughout the room. She reached in, and grabbed a very elaborate silver bracelet, with amber stones imbedded in it.

"By the way, my name's Tirist" she purred, hopping onto the case she had just emptied. She crouched down, and looked up at the banister on the second floor. "Thanks for the gift!" she said, as she leaped up and grabbed the banister with one hand, digging her claws into it. She swung her legs over the banister, and kicked out a nearby glass window, "See ya!" she said, as she winked and jumped out the window.

"Shit" one of the officers cursed, they were going to look extra incompetent now.

AM: I know, it was short, but it was the prologue. Okay? Okay. Tell me what you think of it so far, though I know it's kind of difficult to judge since this is the prologue... maybe I'll put up chapter one tonight too... holds finger to chin in thought
TK: I don't really care what you do...
AM: Of course you don't... as long as I'm writing, you wouldn't care if I got run over by an airplane! You'd be more concerned about my story never being finished!
TK: Your cruel words ring true...
AM: TxT I hate you...
TK: We all know that's not true!
AM: ...
