Hey people! Sorry I haven't updated any of my stories for a long time…I'm truly sorry about that. Anyway, this story is called a thief's tale, and it has received good marks from the people who have read the page long excerpt that I chose. Any way, after dealing with the lawyer repellent, we will get on with the story.

Lawyer Repellent: I do not own anything with a trademark, or patent. And If I get sued, I will attack you with anything with in reach.

And now we move on to story.

Chapter one

A Thief

Sheeba looked out of her bedroom window, there was something out there, there had to be, as her sensitive ears had picked up the sound of something hitting the ground. She left her window, to finish getting ready for bed, and went to the small dressing room that was an extension of her room.

Tonight is the night that I will steal my way into the guild. Sessho-Maru thought as he took a running start and leaped over the ten foot wall surrounding the palace, and cleared it without even touching it. He landed in the castle gardens, where he saw an open window, perfect for getting into the palace. He climbed the tree next to the window, and entered the room. At first, the room was empty, but a girl suddenly came out of a small door to the left of him. She looked as if she was about to scream.

Sheeba Came out of the dressing room, wearing a plain silk gown, and was shocked to find a tall boy with dressed in an olive green sleeveless shirt, light brown breeches, and a light brown cloak. He had long silver hair, and some demon marks on his face. One second he was next to the window, the next he was behind her, holding his hand over her mouth.

"Don't scream," he ordered as he removed his hand.

"Who do you think you are!" Sheeba asked hotly.

"I'm Sessho-Maru, and I'm no one to worry about, I'm here for one thing, and one thing only, to steal my way into the guild," he answered.

"Well, since I want you gone, take this ring, and be gone," Sheeba ordered, as she handed him the ring off of her hand. He moved towards the window.

"Thanks," he said as he jumped out the window, he landed on the ground and jumped over the wall

Sessho-Maru landed on the other side of the wall, hitting the ground with out flinching.

"Well, did you get something?" asked a boy who was slightly shorter than Sessho-Maru, but not by much, he had blonde hair, and honey colored eyes. He was dressed in the same outfit a Sessho-Maru, for that was the common clothing of the people, only his shirt was navy blue.

"Well, if you have to know, yes, I did get something," Sessho-Maru said as he tossed the ring to him.

"Hmm…well, judging by the fact that this ring is very expensive, I'd say that you are welcomed into our guild," the boy said.

"Thank you Sasuki," Sessho-Maru said to the other boy.

Sooo…how was it? Did you like it? …I sound hyper don't I? Anyway, that's the end of this chapter, and I'm running out of Sunday, so I need to work on another story, bye!
