Chapter 1
Kyusho Jitsu
A girl stood on the street, wind ruffling her dark brown hair. She had a ninja like outfit on, colored yellow and orange.
A man paced around her, smiling broadly. He had on all white, with a tight mask on his face.
"Where am I little ducky?" The man cooed as he edged closer.
The girl's eyes were closed tight. She couldn't see him with them open anyway. "I don't need to use my real eyes; my Byaku eye can still see your vulnerable points!"
"Wha…"
The girl leaped forward towards the man with two fingers outstretched. The man tried to dance out of the way but with a powerful thrust the girl poked a point on the man's arm that immediately caused his knees to buckle and clutch the spot.
"What… what did you do to me?" the man choked out through strained breath. The girl smiled and pushed the man to the ground. She picked up a purse that the man had stolen and tucked it under her arm.
"Your diaphragm is clogging up now. The moment you tell me what you came to steal."
The man began to clutch at his chest, begging for her to release him. "I… I'm about to die…"
"No you're not." She said calmly, smiling. Her vision was coming back to her.
"I wanted to… take her… money."
"That's not the reason." She said coolly.
"Fine… I… wanted her cell-phone." The man's eyes grew grey and cloudy. The girl sighed and slapped the man's arm and instantly the man began to regain consciousness.
He began to laugh as he jumped to his feet and run.
The girl didn't hesitate a moment. She jumped up as well and flipped in the air before landing in front of him. She did a cartwheel towards him and pressed a place on his shin, causing him to fall to the ground once more.
"Look around you Ly, see the people staring at you?" The hair on the back of her neck began to creep. She turned around to see people pointing and yelling at her. Her eyes grew wide and she began to clutch her stomach.
She could hear the people talking about her, laughing and whispering.
"Shut-up!" Ly cried as she fell to the ground, holding her head in her arms.
The man ran as fast as he could with a numbed leg shouting back at her "Hear no evil, my ducky!"
"How do you know my name?"
"Miss?" Ly was being shaken awake by a young man clad entirely in Green. He had a pleasant face and beautiful eyes. She knew she'd always remember his eyes. "You battled marvelously there! It was a dirty trick of his to pull on you." The boy offered his hand to help her up.
Ly smiled faintly and accepted his hand gratefully. He didn't seem much older than her, meaning he could be anywhere from 15 to 16 years old. "Did you see where he went?" She asked anxiously, she wanted desperately to make him pay. And to find out the truth.
"Actually, I need to ask you a question… if I may?"
"Please," she said in the kindest way she could muster.
"Would you be kind enough to join my team… dedicated to stopping men like that?" He sounded genuine. And she found his eyes most convincing. She felt mesmerized.
"Why me?" It seemed surreal.
"Because of your natural talent. That was the art of Kyusho Jitsu was it not?"
She smiled and nodded, surprised that someone else knew about it, Kyusho that is. "How many members do you have... or how many do you want?"
"Well if you join… I'll have three members so far, but I'd like to have six or seven. You'll receive first-class accommodations in the Titan's Tower on the island of the East Coast of the city. Come by sometime, you know, if you want to join."
"I'm in." She said loudly. Something about his eyes made her want to say that…
"Good, we can head back now, in case you want to meet Sebastian. He's our chef at the tower, and a support member of the team."
"That sounds nice," Ly said as she took a hold of the boys arm. "Just lead the way."
"I will… Ly, and you can call me The Wiz."
