A tall slender man stood looking down upon the festival. So many people. People with . . . well . . . things. Long dark hair waved in the wind, bound in a low ponytail only by a silver hair tie. Silver eyes flickered as a shadow moved from the forest. The wind ruffled his long black trenchcoat. His black pants felt smooth and cool against his skin as he approached the moving shadow upon silent ground. His black boots did not make a sound.

A girl and a boy dressed like an army dude (camo and all) stood there. They were just . . . talking. Nothing else. Perfect victims.

Rath approached silently. Quiet whispers ran through the trees of what Rath was about to do. He snuck up behind the couple and swiftly stole thier left shoes and right socks and left before either of them noticed.

Rath stuffed the spoils into a large brown burlap sack containing many right socks and left shoes. Once the bag was full, he was to go after people's right shoes and hats. Boss's orders. Rath often wondered what the Boss did with these kind of things, he was soon to have enough to cloth an army. Rath had stolen many right shoes, other shoes, left knee pads, bracelets, armbands, hats, left gloves, outer shirts, left socks, right socks, undershirts, other knee pads, glasses, and other gloves.

But one thing Rath was rather proud of was that he had never stolen from the same person twice. He would have stopped awhile ago, but then the Boss hired another thief and now it was a matter of pride and principle.

Rath had also met two girls who'd said 'Bob' for over an hour because niether could let the other out-Bob her. It was quite funny when you thought about it that way.

Anyways, Rath exited the forest and headed for the village. The dirt path had worn away long ago, there was no guide for him, except the illustrious lights and the bright sounds of the festival. He would have known his way there otherwise because he went there a lot to steal. There were always so many new people there, he couldn't begin to count how many different people anterred and exited a day.

To Rath, it seemed to draw tourists to it like moths to a light. Tourists weren't bad though. They always had just the things Rath needed to get. He had stolen many a digital camera from unwary tourists. It was great fun.

Rath stopped just outside the village and put on his disguise. He put a tilted affro on his head and tied a sparkly cloth around it. He then put a large tye-dye t-shirt on over his trenchcoat and pulled up a five sizes too large pair of girl's jeans. You couldn't really tell they were girl jeans, they were so baggy. He didn't bother to change his shoes, no one could see them through the jeans.

Masaya Aoyama finally had the guts to ask Ichigo, the girl of his dreams, to go to the festival with him, as his date. The only other person who would ask her was Ryou Shirogane. Ahh. Shirogane. The stupid runt, Masaya thought. He doesn't deserve to be rich. He's got it all: the money, the popularity, the fan girls. I should have some fan girls. Shirogane's not that much better than me, Masaya rationalized.

He knocked on Ichigo's door. "In a minute!" she called. Masaya stood patiently outside while Ichigo came to the door.

Her bright pink eyes lit up when she saw him. "Hey Masaya, what's up?" she asked and stepped aside to let him in. He came in and wiped his feet on the doormat. "Ichigo, I have something to ask you," Masaya started, then saw Shirogane sitting at the table. "Hey Masaya, what're you doing here?" Ryou asked sweetly. "Why is he here?" Masaya asked. "He asked me to go to the festival with him- as his date!" Ichigo announced. "And she said yes," Ryou finished with a satisfied smile. Masaya's fists clenched and anger boiled up inside him. He stalked out of the room.

Ichigo and Ryou looked after him. "Was it something I said?" Ichigo asked. Ryou shook his head saying, "No, strawberry, you were fine. Now run along and put on your party dress and gossip with your friends about me being your date and all that stuff you do so well," Ryou said and pecked Ichigo on the cheek.

She blushed and punched him playfully on the arm. He smiled and walked out the door. "I'll droop by in an hour," he said and shut the door behind him.

Masaya stalked Ichigo and Ryou around the festival grounds, waiting until he could catch Shirogane alone, and then maybe show him who was more of a man. Ichigo and Ryou were currently dancing together. Ichigo looked so pretty. She was wearing a sparkling pink dress with red ribbons holding up her hair. A red rose was in her hair and she was leaning on Ryou. They were talking quietly to each other.

Ryou had noticed that Masaya was following him and Ichigo around a lot. He figured that Masaya wanted to fight him for Ichigo. Fat chance he'd win. Ryou swirled Ichigo around the dance floor. She was pretty good at dancing. A crowd formed around them as the tempo increased to something more lively.

Ryou swirled Ichigo around and Ichigo turned with passion. Her skirts swirled outward and she flung her head back. Ryou led Ichigo across the dance floor on feet of fire. They turned and swirled and became ever closer until . . .

Masaya couldn't bear to watch and Shirogane kissed his girl. He stomped from the scene, looking for easy prey. He spotted a stargely dress hippy dude and went up to him. The dude was three years older than Masaya, but he didn't care. He walked up to the hippy dude and said, "You're gay."

Rath listened to the little person insulting him from below. Rath placed his hands ceremoniously on the boy's shoulders and cleared his throat. He looked down at the boy and siad, "These are the words of the hippy dude." And then he opened his mouth as if to say something, but, instead, kicked the impertinent little person in the shin, grabbed his left shoe and right sock, and ran off.

Masaya cursed and hopped up and down, holding his shin.

A green haired boy approached Ryou and Ichigo. "May I cut in?" he asked. Ryou looked him over. This boy was a traveller, by the looks of it. "We are dancing," Ryou replied. "You were trying to dance. She was succeeding," the green haired one replied and cut in.

Ichigo smiled at Ryou and Ryou stepped back.

"I'm Ichigo, who're you?" Ichigo asked as the music started up once more. The green haired one spun her out across from him and said, "I am Kish." Then he spun her into him and stole a kiss. He spun her out once more and said, "Thanks for the kiss." Ichigo turned bright red, but kept dancing.

Ryou noticed that the green haired traveller had kissed Ichigo. She was blushing, but still with him. Didn't she have any sense at all? Ryou turned around and noticed Masaya was hopping and cursing at someone who wasn't there. Ryou smirked at him. After stalking him and Ichigo, Masaya deserved whatever had happened.

Kish spun Ichigo in and Ichigo asked, "You're not from around here. Where're you from?" Kish spun her out and the coupled moved across the dance floor. "I am from . . . I am a traveller. I take it you live around here?" He replied spinning Ichigo. Ichigo replied as she spun into him, "Yeah. Lived here my whole life. There are two guys who like me, but they both seem to wanna stay here." Kish nodded and they moved to the center. "So I assume you want to travel," he said as the beat became louder and the music more lively. "Yeah. That'd be nice," Ichigo said in a dreamy voice and swivelled her hips in time to the music. "But now, we should dance!" she cried and then the dancing really started.

Ryou watched in jealousy. This traveller looked very good dancing with Ichigo. They made the perfect pair. He looked at Ichigo and she seemed happy. He could leave Ichigo with this boy . . . As long as she was happy, Ryou decided. But he would keep an eye on them, just to be sure. Then, a starnge sensation crept up his foot. He looked down, and where his left shoe should've been, there was only a black socked foot! He looked down at his other foot and realized that his sock was gone! Then, as if to make the night worse, Masaya seemed to have recovered and was glaring daggers at him and was slowly advancing.

Rath noticed that the little person he had kicked was about to waste another blonde kid he had just taken the left shoe and right sock from. The burlap sack was nearly full now and Rath figured it was okay if he had a little . . . fun, persay.

Ichigo and Kish were panting by the time they were done dancing. They moved off the dance floor and sat down at a table. "Well, would you like to come travelling with me?" Kish asked Ichigo. It was so spur of the moment that Ichigo was taken off guard. "Wh- what?" she asked, heart pounding. Kish took her hand, "Would you like to come travelling with me?" And he stole another kiss. Ichigo's heart leaped with joy. "Yes, Kish, I'd like that very much," she replied and kissed him softly on the lips. Kish smiled and looked into her bright pink eyes. "When do you want to leave?" he asked. "Let me get into my travelling clothes and we can leave tonight," Ichigo said. Kish smiled and kissed her once more, then escorted her to her home.

Ryou didn't panic as Masaya approached. He could easily beat Masaya, but it wa really annoying, ya know? Masaya was always doing this thing where he tried to prove that he was better than Ryou, but in reality, the only thing he did better than Ryou himself, was try to beat Ryou. It was really starting to bug Ryou. Maybe he could teach Masaya a lesson once and for all.

Rath approached the two. The blondie seemed to be going through some sort of mental thing because his expression went from totally fearful to annoyed then to angry only to go back to fearful and then thoughtful before twisting into annoyance. Rath ignored that. And, apparently, so did the little person. He approached the younglings silently as they charged at each other.

Before Ryou could hit Masaya, a firm hand on his forehead stopped him. He looked up to see some sort of hippy dude standing an armslength away from both him and Masaya, blocking them both with his hands.

Rath smirked at the dark haired one. He was actually trying to punch him. The blonde one was smart. He had stopped and was looking up at Rath.
Masaya finally looked up to see what was blocking his way and gulped. The hippy dude placed the blondie and the little person side by side in front of him.

The hippy dude placed his hands on their shoulders and cleared his throat. Ryou knew that this adult was probably going to give them a lecture of some sort. However, a fear crept up Masaya's spine and a queasy feeling settled in his stomach. This was not going to be good.

Ichigo and Kish sat in her room. She was dressed and ready to go. "Are you sure you want to do this, Ichigo?" Kish asked. "Yep, positive," Ichigo replied, her pink head nodding along with her answer. " 'cuz I don wanna force you into anything you don't wanna do," Kish replied. "I want to do this. I've wanted to for a long long time. I just wanted someone to go with me," Ichigo said quietly looking down at the floor. Kish smiled with relief. He put a finger under her chin and drew her into a kiss. When he broke it off, Ichigo smiled and said, "Let's go." Kish nodded and stood up to leave, as did Ichigo.

The hippy dude cleared his throat and said, "These are the words of the hippy dude." Then he slammed Masaya's and Ryou's heads together, pulled a Nixon ((flinging both his hands in the air in 'v' s)) and ran off, laughing. Ryou rubbed his head and Masaya cursed the hippy dude once more and ran after him.

Ryou looked around to check on Ichigo and noticed she and the traveller were gone. He slapped his forehead and reprimanded himself for leaving them alone. Ryou ran out of the festival boundaries looknig for Ichigo and mysterious green headed traveller. He looked along a row of houses and saw that Ichigo's light was on. He peeked into her room. She and the green haired someone were sitting on her bed, just . . . talking. Ryou stayed hidden as they left, but stood up and asked, "Ichigo?"

Masaya ran after the hippy dude at top speed. What was up with this dude! First he kicked him in the shin and then he bubmped his head against Shirogane's! And Masaya was pretty sure the hippy dude had stolen his left shoe and right sock. Soon Masaya lost track of the dude and grudgingly went to look for Ichigo.

Ichigo turned at the sound of Ryou's voice. Ichigo's pink eyes widened. "Oh! Ryou, hi. What's up?" She asked. "Where are you going?" Ryou asked, noticing she was no longer in the sparkling pink dress, but was in a set of durable travel clothes. "She's gonna go travelling with me," Kish replied looking fondly down at Ichigo. Ryou whipped off his formal jacket revealing the fact that he too was wearing trvalling clothes. "I'm going with you," Ryou announced and stood on Ichigo's other side. Kish looked at Ichigo and she seemed fine with it, so he allowed this 'Ryou' person to stay.

Rath followed the little person around the festival, while, of course, collecting the last left shoes and right socks he would need to fill the burlap sack. The boy seemed to be drifting away from the crowds and toward three people in the dark town. The moon shined brightly overhead as Rath followed him down the road. His sensitive ears could pick up three people talking, but he figured the little person couldn't. He sighed as he figured that the little person was about to make more trouble.

Masaya had the stragest feeling that he was being followed, but whenever he glanced back, no one was there. He approached a scene he really diliked. Ichigo was standing in the arms of some green haired dude that wasn't Masaya, and Shirogane was on Ichigo's other side. They looked like they were about to go travelling. "Ichigo? What're you doing!" Masaya bursted out. Ichigo's eyes widened and Shirogane and the green dude stepped in front of Ichigo, blocking her from anything Masaya might do. "She's travelling with us," Ryou announced. "What!" Masaya yelled. Luckily, no one at the festival heard, or it would've brought the police running. If they weren't already after the shoe and sock thief.

Rath watched the exchange with interest, but when the little person pull out a gun, he quickly stepped in. "Yo." he said. Masaya turned around and dropped the gun. His eyes widened in fear. Ryou slowly edged away from the hippy dude as inconspicuosly as possible. Ichigo didn't notice. "Who're you?" Kish asked. The hippy dude cleared his throat. "I am the hippy dude," Said he and grabbed Masaya by the collar as he trie to run away. He pulled Masaya in front of him and placed his hands on Masaya's shoulders. Ryou felt relieved that the hippy dude wasn't grabbing him. The hippy dude cleared his throat. "These are the words of the Hippy Dude: I warned you once. I warned you twice. And this is the last warning. If I must warn you again, you might not live to tell about it," and with that, the hippy dude swatted Masaya upside the head, kicked him in the other shin, pulled a nixon and ran off into the bushes. Masaya hopped up and down holding his shin, but did not curse at him for Ichigo's sake, but instead screamed at the vanishinged hippy dude, "Get back here you coward! Come and fight like a man!" Ryou and Kish smirked at Masaya, but Ichigo did not seem to quite grasp the situation. She ran up to Masaya. "Are you all right?" she asked looking at his shin. "Ichigo, no!" Ryou and Kish cried at once.

Masaya grabbed Ichigo's arms and looked into her eyes. The pink orbs widened in fear. He stroked her dark magenta hair and said, "I love you, Ichigo." Then, without a warning of any sort, he kissed her on the lips. Sparks went off in Masaya's mouth as he pushe dhis tongue into her mouth. Ichigo struggled to get away, but was entirely helpless.

Kish and Ryou burned with anger, and, before they could stop themselves, they picked up some thick heavy branches and hit Masaya on the head. It cracked open as he released Ichigo. The fallen boy lay on the ground, twitching. A cold silence pressed in upon them and Kish and Ryou buried Masaya in the branches. "Let's go," Ryou said to Ichigo and the trio walked off. Out of the village and away from the festival.

Epilouge:

Rath came back later that night and chopped off Masaya's head after realizing that there was a 50 million dollar reward on his head.
