To Catch a Thief
Chapter one:
It was dark out and most of the city was fast asleep right about now. A shadow was seen throughout the alleys, disappearing and reappearing every minute or so. The streetlights were the only light casting the shadows, and yet the creature was still able to wonder around without anybody noticing.
A big tall building was placed on the corner of a street. It's features told everyone and everything that went by it that it was a very wealthy and rich place. Holding a most prized and valuable possession. As a very wealthy and rich place, it also had great security and alarm systems to make sure nobody could get in.
A figure was seen on the top of this building. Standing upright so the wind blew through its long, shiny sliver hair. Two ears on top of its head twitched now and then from the coldness, and its tail swayed back and forth instinctively. He was a fox demon, that much was known. He was wearing a white outfit that allowed his masculine body to be partially seen.
Youko nearly stared down at the policeman standing in front of the doorway to the museum. Of coarse there would be a challenge if he wanted to get what he wanted. But like he always said the more the merrier. He needed some kind of challenge once in a while, or else the life of a thief would just be down right boring.
A smirk was placed on his lips and he moved quickly to the door on top of the roof. There was no sense in going through the main door. And the roof door, as he expected, was locked, but that was nothing, he just simply kicked it down.
Moving quickly and quietly he ran down the stairs, being careful to look out for cameras or anything like that. He finally came to the bottom of the stairs and he simply sneered. There on the floor was a motion detector system. How original! He thought.
Using his skills as a demon he jumped from each side of the walls till he reached the end and brought his claws up to destroy the motion detector. He walked through yet another door, leaving the motion detector in pieces on the floor. It was almost too easy for him.
He ran down the halls, looking for the main room, where they held most of their jewels. A noise was heard further down the hall, and he stopped right in his tracks.
The night watcher walked cautiously through the halls, with his flashlight shining in every direction. He had heard a noise down this hall and had come to see what it was. He came to a stop and looked down both halls and sighed in content when he found nothing.
Just as he was about to leave something hit him in the back of the head and he fell down to the floor, unconscious. Youko was seen behind the falling man and he had a satisfied smirk on his face.
Distant voices could be heard and he turned around and began running down the hall to his destination. One final door left and just as he was about to reach it, he stopped. Looking up and down he noticed to video cameras on each side of the walls.
How pathetic! He thought in his mind, as he simply slashed them to pieces with his claws like he had done so with the motion detector.
Now he was safe to continue, at least until they found the unconscious policeman on the floor. He ran into the room, to find a beautiful red jewel in the middle of the room, on a plat form. It was a small, too small actually. It was a tight little space and would only be able to fit 30 people in it at least. But then again the shadows made it seem more smaller then it usually was.
He walked cautiously over to it, looking around for any signs of alarms that what certainly reveal his ware bouts. Being the greatest thief every known, he was quite aware on how heavily guarded these places are. And yet, nothing had happened yet. No alarm had been set off, not one little camera had been seen throughout this room.
Its almost as if it was a trap to catch him while he's off guard. When he least expected it police would be swarming around him, trapping him a circle, making sure he wouldn't be able to escape from them, but they were wrong.
He stopped when he neared the jewel and took notice at the small objects pointing at him from the shadows, ready to fire and hit him. He smirked at their pathetic attempt to trick him and he smashed his hand through the glass that surrounded the red gem.
Grabbing it quickly, he turned around and began to run. The door he came through closed immediately, and guards who were heavily armed jumped out from their hiding spots. But yet he still ran towards the closed door and the police that were stationed in front of it.
He grinned at their confused and nervous faces; he jumped over them and pushed himself off the door behind them. And he sprang to the other wall on the opposite side, repeating what he did before. Jumping from wall to wall, higher and higher till her reached a glass-covered roof.
The police continuously fired at him with there guns. Missing with every fire, hitting the wall instead as it left little marks and dust. He was too fast for them and his speed increased as he neared the roof.
Lifting his arms in front of his face to shield himself from the glass, he shot through it, landing on the roof. Not wasting anymore time, he jumped from building to building till his form was no longer seen in the moonlight.
Youko walked through the ally ways with a huge smirk on his face that only grew wider as he threw up a red gem and caught it with his right hand. He repeatedly threw it in the air and caught it, just watching it shimmer when it moved in the light.
"That was almost too easy," he spoke to himself.
He continued to walk nowhere in particular. Well at least that's what it looked like until he reached and old abandon wear house. Its windows were broken and then boarded with wood to keep anything out. Its door was still there, even though it was hanging by a hinge, it still worked as good as any other door. The walls were all broken down and the wood was starting to rot away and it looked old and haunted.
Even though it had an ugly peripheral, inside it was like a palace. Golden walls covered the rooms and small designs were carved on each door. Small steps lead to a small platform that contained a round bed with silk, purple sheets. Pillows lined the headboard of the bed and see-throw, purple curtains hung down from around it. It was like a god lived in here. It was fancy and looked very rich.
A carpet lay in the middle of the room, and a table was in the middle of it. More pillows were piled near the wall, making a comfy look to them. Many pictures were hung on the wall, most of them were pictures of silver kitsunes and some were even silver dogs, each had their own unique beauty to them. It was a very enchanting place to be at the moment.
Youko walked in unceremoniously, and made his way over to the bed where he fell down. The bed made a little thump noise and he landed, and a thin layer of dust coated the air above it.
He took out the red gem and began examining it in his hand. Holding it up to the sunlight that peeked through one of the boarded windows, it shimmered beautifully in the sun and cast a pink light around the room.
Turning it around in his palm he got up from his bed and walked over to a door on the left side of the room. A small computer appeared beside it. Youko placed his hand on the numbers and punched some in.
The little computer screen turned green and a little click was heard before the door opened, along with many other doors that were made out of steel and titanium. But after the last door opened, a shimmering wall appeared before him.
He brought his hand up and said one word under his breathe and it disappeared instantly, allowing him to walk through. And he did just that, walking into the room.
Inside held a huge amount of riches. Gold, jewels, jewelry, everything was in here. It was piled high and almost filled the whole room up.
He walked over to a little platform and set the jewel down carefully. Just as he removed his hand, a small glass shield appeared around it, not letting anyone in.
Youko then left the room, heavily guarded by magic and many other things to keep other thieves out from stealing what he had stole himself.
Walking back to his bed, he sat down and turned on the T.V. And once again his named was announced on T.V.
"The great thief that everyone fears had once again struck!" the T.V. said. "Late last night, our bank that held the jewel, 'The Hawks Eye', was stolen. The police are now investigating the situation…"
Youko smirked and turned off the T.V. It was time to move somewhere else with more riches. He was known around the world as the greatest thief in history and no matter how much people tried to capture him, he always seemed to slip, along with the stolen item.
It was practically a nightly routine to him. He would strike everywhere that held a valuable item. He was probably known as the riches man or thief alive right about know. But his taste for more riches only grew in time.
He would strike at one side of town and then the next night he would strike somewhere farther away, and sometimes he would travel around the world and would steal from other countries that held more valuables. Then he would carrier them here to keep in his little place.
His pride only grew more as well when his name was heard on the T.V. The most feared thief.
He sighed and laid down on the bed. He was growing tired of just robbing people know. He was feared by most rich people and all, but he wanted more. He smirked when he thought of all the woman he could have as his mate.
Ok so maybe he was a little lonely for a mate, but to him, his pride was better then some woman. But then again, the thought of having a beautiful maiden never left his mind.
He sighed once again and stared up at the sealing, deep in thought. You know what would make this better? A good robbing… Youko sat upright at the thought and he looked at the clock, 5:00.
He turned the T.V. back on to waste the time till it was late at night to start stealing stuff. Flipping through channels boredly, but one thing caught his eye. He turned the channel back and a smirked was placed on his lips.
The T.V. showed a small little jewel that shimmered a bright blue. Beside it was three more jewels that shined a bright yellow and green. And he was drawn to them, it was like they were calling out to them and he knew he just had to have them.
He had heard rumors about the jewels that held tremendous power. And his greed only increased when he thought about using the power to rule over countries. Of coarse it was everyone's desire to rule over the world or something on the lines of that.
The jewels were part of a legend he once heard of. But in the legend there were 5 jewels that held the power to destroy the universe. A powerful sorceress had created these 5 jewels from her soul and she used their energy to defeat an unknown evil. The evil wanted the power for himself so he could rule all of Tokyo, but when he heard that the jewels could destroy the universe, he wanted to use them for a greater purpose. The powerful sorceress had realized their true power so she destroyed them, along with herself. But the jewels were never destroyed, instead the were cast away in different directions of the earth so nobody would be able to find them.
Of coarse it was just a legend to ordinary humans because they didn't want to believe it themselves, but to tayijias, mikos, monks, demons, hanyous, witches, sorcerers/sorceresses, it was beyond real. The power was beyond anyone's dreams and every creature desired them, except for the pathetic humans who wished for nothing to do with such a thing. And if they did, they usually died trying to find them or their greed would eventually take over them.
Pathetic humans, Youko grinned and looked at the clock once more. It was close enough to go steal what he now considered his.
Youko stood in front of a building which supposedly contained the three jewels. I mean really, who would tell people on T.V. about he location of the three jewels, but then again they didn't know about the power it contained.
He ran towards the building and took a huge leap up above the building. I'm going to enjoy this… Youko thought before he advanced towards the roof door.
He expected the door to be locked, but to his surprise it wasn't. He dismissed the thought and walked through the door, making his way down the stairs.
Certainly they must have this place twice as guarded as the other building. But he only smiled at the thought. He needed a good challenge once in a while and this town was beginning to become pathetic with its guards.
He finally came to the end of the stairs and he looked from left to right, contemplating on which way he should go. He sniffed the air and looked down the left hallway and ran. The smell of riches was down this way, and he knew he was headed in the right direction.
He came upon a door and he stopped when he reached it. Without moving his head he brought out a rose from his hair, and it quickly turned into a whip. He brought it up and smashed two video cameras on the side of the door. Not really caring if they saw him or not.
He then raised his whip again and brought it down on the door, smashing it to pieces as they fell to the floor with a clatter. Dust and smoke filled the air and Youko waited for it to clear before he moved on.
But what he saw once the dust did cleared was not what he had expected. A figure was seen retrieving the last jewel in the room and stuffed it in a little bag that was placed by the figures waist. The figure was in the shadows then, and Youko wasn't able to place out who it was.
He acted fast, mostly on instinct on having someone beat him to his prize. He rushed forward and right when the figure jumped in the air, he raised his whip and it wrapped around the figures ankle. He pulled down on his whip harshly, making the figure fall to the ground with a 'thud'.
Youko walked over to the figure and gasped, but his surprise soon turned into a smirk. The figure was a woman to be precise. She was wearing a black shirt with a pink lining that rose above the belly button. She wore black shorts that also had pink lining, that matched her shirt and it took place around her waist. Her small little outfit showed off quite a bit of skin and it was tight so it showed off all her right curves as well. Her long, silky black hair was in a braid and hung over her shoulder. She wore a mask as well, so Youko wasn't able to identify her. But her eyes are what he noticed first. Her eyes were a beautiful chestnut brown and they sparkled with both fierceness and passion. She was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen and trust me he had seen a lot of women in his life, and this one seemed to capture his heart. And not just the fact that she was a woman, but she was also a mere human as well.
She glared at him after he interfered in her attempt to escape. And she glared harder at him when his eyes began roaming her, as if inspecting her. And she almost snapped when a smirk formed on his lips, showing his fangs.
"What does a pretty little maiden such as yourself want with the jewels?" Youko asked seductively, moving closer to her form.
She acted fast, with experience and back flipped off the ground and kicked him away in the process. She landed in a cat like crouch and she swiftly turned around in another attempt to leave this place.
But Youko wasn't done with her, he once again pulled out his whip and it wrapped around her wrist tightly, making sure she couldn't get away. "I believe you won't be leaving with my jewels."
She became irritated with him and she pulled on the other end of the whip, making him stumble forward till he was in hitting range. Then she pulled out her fist and punched him in the stomach, making him gasp for air.
Right when she was about to kick him in the face, he caught her foot and threw her against the wall, leaving behind an imprint of her back. She cringed at the pain and slowly stood up.
Youko attacked her again, brining his fist up to punch her in the face, but she was quicker then that and he punched the wall she was leaning against instead, leaving a small hole.
He quickly turned around, making sure he was on his best guard. She ran after him, punching and kicking him, but he dodged most of them, while some of her attacks caught him of guard.
Youko changed the odds and now he began attacking her while she blocked with her hands. Youko smirked and kicked her right off her feet, making her fall flat on her ass. Having the advantage of her being on the ground he jumped on her, straddling her waist, making sure she wouldn't be able to get free.
He grabbed her wrists and brought them above her head and he leaned down near her face. "I believe these belong to me," he replied, brining up his hand that held three colorful jewels.
"You're not worthy of having such a powerful possession," she spat in his face.
He chuckled in response, which only infuriated her more. "What may this maiden's name be?" he asked.
"You may call me Sango! Now it is only fair for you to tell me yours," Sango coldly retorted.
"Such a feisty little vixen you are…I, as I'm sure you already know, am Youko."
She glared at his little comment about her being a 'feisty vixen' and brought her knee up and kneed him in the back, making him loose his grip on her wrist. And once that happened, she pushed him off her.
Sango quickly took action and now she pinned him to the ground with her body. She leaned closer to his face and he was sure he was going to loose his mind. When her lips were right next to his ear she whispered in a silent tone, "like I said before, you're not worthy of having a powerful possession."
She jumped off of him, doing a hand spring till she was a good ten feet away and then did a flip and landed gracefully on the ground. She lifted up her hand and in between fingers were the three jewels he once had.
An alarm went off and both heads snapped to the side, and the sound of distant voices could be heard as the police neared the room. Sango quickly went to stuff the jewels in her little pouch, but once again Youko interfered sending a punch her way.
She moved to the side to dodge and before she had enough time to retract her hand, Youko grabbed one of the jewels at her side. She growled low in her throat and stepped backwards, away from Youko.
Youko smirked at her but it was soon washed away when she grabbed one of her hidden daggers from her boots and threw them at the hand that held the jewel. It sliced his palm and he dropped the jewel immediately, clutching his hand in slight pain as blood dripped to the floor.
Suddenly the policemen began to pile in the room, and neither Sango nor Youko had enough time to grab the remaining jewel that lay on the floor. Youko looked towards the policemen and cursed mentally and went to face Sango again but she was gone.
Gunshots were fired at Youko and he jumped up through the hole in the roof that Sango had created earlier to escape. Once he was safely on the roof, he jumped down in the ally and ran from the scene.
Youko laid down on his silk covered bed, staring up at the ceiling. The woman he had encountered earlier was still plaguing his mind and he couldn't clear his thoughts. Her mask that mysteriously hid her face from everyone. And that luscious body of hers.
Youko unconsciously licked his lips. And then there were those eyes. Those beautiful chocolate covered eyes that could entrance anyone. They held such secrets and emotions that didn't seemed to be set free very often.
For some reason he could see her pain in those eyes. He could see her desire for something, but couldn't quite figure out what it was she desired so badly. And by every minute it was beginning to get on his nerves, she was beginning to get on his nerves.
Sure he desired women and all, but her…she was different. Something inside of him warmed up when he first saw her. And when she fought with such skill, it only added to his warmth.
He growled deep in his throat. He had never felt like this so fast before. Well of coarse he was a very lusty demon, but she triggered something else inside of him, and it just wasn't something he was accustomed to.
He clutched his sore hand, till the wound reopened and blood soaked through the bandages that were wrapped around his hand. Damn she has the other two jewels and the other one is still in the damn building! He cursed himself for letting her escape so easily, and especially when the jewels were in her possession. Damnit, damnit, damnit! I should be more concentrated! How could I, the great Youko, get beaten by a damn human woman!?! Well a very beautiful human woman.
He shook his head and sat upright on the bed. He went over to the door where he held all the other jewels and such he had stolen and placed it on another platform, that had a much powerful barrier, making sure it was heavily guarded from everyone.
After he had finished putting it away, he went to lay down on the bed again, and in a matter of minutes he was asleep.
Sango watched Youko jump from the building they were in and run through the alleys to his little 'home'. She had allowed him to escape. But that was the least of her problems. One of the three jewels she was supposed to retrieve had been left behind in the building, the jewel had been taken when she had it in her hand.
She sighed at the thought of what her master would do to her once she came back without one of the jewels that he wanted so badly. Don't get her wrong or anything, she new how much power the jewels contained but if she did not retrieve the 5 jewels for her master, then she would never be set free. Instead she would spend the rest of her life being tortured by her master.
It wasn't her choice to work for him or be his little 'pet'. But she was forced to do his bidding. He has her life in the palm of his hand and he could at any moment end her life, or worse, he could torture her until death over took her.
She shuddered at the thought of being slashed and whipped. Thrown into walls like other countless demons and humans had when they had failed to get her master something. She new he was evil, she could feel his black aura swarming around him and she hated the thought of working for such a vile creature.
She would destroy him, if she were capable of doing so. Sure she was a great warrior, a tayiji to be precise, but she would never out match him. He was just too powerful for her own strength.
She sighed again and turned around. She lifted up her hand and a blue portal appeared before her and she walked inside without any hesitation. She was certainly going to have to pay for her foolishness.
Sango walked of the portal and it disappeared instantly. She walked through halls and halls looking for something in particular. She stopped once she was at her destination. A huge door took place in front of her and she brought up her hand tentatively.
Taking a deep breath, she turned the door handle and walked in the room, closing the door behind her.
"Sango," hissed a cold voice. "Why have you failed me? Look at me when I am talking to you!"
Sango cringed at the vileness in his voice and brought her head up to look at her master. A dark figure hovered over her. He wore a dark purple outfit (kinda like Sesshoumarus) and his black cape hovered over his shoulders. He had dark curly black hair and his handsome face glowed in an evil kinda way. He was very, very handsome for being an evil villain, and any woman would be stupid to not notice.
"There was a disturbance," Sango replied, looking into his red, captivating eyes. And the minute she looked in them, she was lost.
"The thief Youko I presume? No matter, you will go back and get the third jewel you had failed to retrieve," he walked closer to her until he was mere inches from her face. He brought his hand up and cupped her cheek, letting his thumb brush over her cheek. "You will not fail me my little flower."
He brought his lips close down and they lightly brushed against her cheek. Sango shuddered at the feeling of his cold lips against her cheek. He walked behind her and his hand brushed through her hair. He brought her hair up and took a deep breathe of the sweet smell of sukaru blossoms.
Letting the hair play through his clawed hands, he brought his lips close to her ear and whispered, "you are mine, my little flower, and you will always be mine, that you cannot deny. I have complete control over you and I will not allow you to leave this place until I say, and that, I assure you, won't happen." With that he made a little slash on her side, making sure she new he had complete control over her.
