I got bored with my stories, so I took a break and started this. I don't think this is going to get very popular, so expect slow updates.
The Three Rogues
Ikisatashi Quiche, or better known as simply Kisshu to his friends, was silently perched on top of a building. He glanced at his dark haired companion, Masaya Aoyoma.
"Are we ready to do this or what?" The elf asked, with his patience starting to wear thin. He clutched his double swords, his eagerness to start not going unnoticed by his comrade.
"We need to plan this right. If we rush our planning may go to waste." Masaya replied softly, holding his own long sword.
Kisshu sighed, leaning against a spire on top of the building they were on. Perhaps the word building is not the best word for this sentence. More correct would be the word tower. They, these two friends, were waiting for their other friend to arrive. Only then would they have the skills needed to complete their mission and break into this place. It was actually well known to many people, this old tower. It had strange powers, but that was to be expected from a tower for a magic academy. Many powerful students were residing here, and they all practiced magic.
But these two boys were more interested in four princesses, four princesses that could wield magic, and weapon alike. There was also the queen of the land, whom, if they captured, knew would bring on quite a hefty bounty from the kingdom.
Pudding Fong, princess of the tribe of the south. They specialize in the element Earth, and are generally friendly.
Zakuro Fujiwara, princess of the tribe of the north. They specialize in the element Fire, and are cold to outsiders.
Lettuce Midorikawa, princess of the tribe of the east. They specialize in the element of Water, and rarely trust others.
Mint Aizawa, princess of the tribe of the west. They specialize in the element of Air, and generally turn their noses up to any offers of help.
Ichigo Momomiya, queen of the land. She rules the country as a whole, but cannot wield magic herself until a special moment in her life.
There was a reason that all of these girls were staying at the magic academy. There was a yearly show for the princesses to show off their powers to the queen, and the winner would be allowed to receive their custom weapons, special things that would appear in their hands when they won. It was all of the princesses' first year to do this ceremony, so Kisshu and Masaya knew that they would be easier to capture. This wouldn't be a hard job, not for professional thieves.
A soft wind blew across the roof of the tower, and Masaya yawned quietly. He gazed out at the quiet town and sighed, wishing to be asleep.
"How much longer until Ryou arrives?" Came a moan from Kisshu, who was using his sword to spin around and play with.
"I don't know Kisshu. I'm bored too." Masaya admitted, stretching out his arms.
"Well, there isn't any need to be bored." Someone commented, letting the wind blow through their blond hair as they leaped beside the two boys.
Both Kisshu and Masaya jumped, then turned to look at the newcomer. He was dressed in a plain black tunic, and had a deep brown cloak draped around himself with a hood on top of his head.
Kisshu was about to advance on him with his swords before Masaya gently laid a hand against his chest, stopping him.
"We were waiting for you, Ryou."
"I can see that." Ryou replied dryly, removing the hood so they could see his face.
"So, are we ready to drop in on these princesses?" Kisshu asked, grinning widely, showing his pearly-white teeth.
Ryou nodded to them both and held onto Kisshu's right arm, signaling for him to teleport them inside.
Masaya did the same, and with a flash of bright blue, the trio disappeared. What they did not see, however, were two people that had been standing on a different building.
One made a hand motion to the other, and they too disappeared in a flash of blue.
We found him.
Yes, it was painfully short, but this is just the beginning! So, you guys get the gist of it, right? In case you don't, here's a quick run down:
Kisshu, Masaya and Ryou are a group of thieves.
Mint, Lettuce, Zakuro and Pudding are princesses of different regions of a kingdom that Ichigo rules.
The thieves are planning to kidnap the princesses and hold them for ransom.
I think that clears everything up. I'll update whenever I am in a good enough mood to!
