A/N: Hey! New fanfic time! /slapped
Ok, well, this idea is from Romeo and Juliet, because Kayuki here went to watch the play or something and now knows everything about it and is obsessed. I mean, it's not going to be completely based off of Romeo and Juliet! It's just where the idea came from :P
Any who, time for job classes and such!
Elsword: Infinity Sword
Aisha: Dimension Witch
Rena: Night Watcher
Raven: Reckless Fist
Eve: Code Nemesis
Chung: Iron Paladin
Ara: Yama Raja
Rated T for drugs, alcohol, "clubbing", etc … just saying :P
Geez, they live in a pretty … uh, shady part of Elrios o.o
-Zenya
I am not obsessed! And I didn't watch the play either! I just read the plot thing on Wikipedia! I DON'T KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT IT EITHER! I just…probably know more about it than you do.
Anyhow, we probably shouldn't have started this so soon /shot
But we told you guys it was coming.

Chapter 1
Aisha lived in a considerably good house; nice furniture, nice walls, no animals around…Hell, she was considered rich!
At least, as rich as someone could be living in Sander.
Sand everywhere, bad economy, drugs and alcohol everywhere, and the highest murder and theft rate in all of Elrios didn't make Sander too appealing. Even Aisha had to admit, she liked her life back at Ruben way better. Unfortunately for her, her bastard of a father had a gambling and alcoholic problem, forcing her family to move frequently due to her father "not wanting any enemies". Here, Aisha's father liked the community; they were all drunken bastards just like him! Unfortunately, with Aisha's refined taste, she found them all disgusting. Not like she said that out loud, of course.
Aisha lay on her bed, staring at the perfect, hole less ceiling. She finished her homework, done her hair, ran all her errands, and even cleaned her room. Now there was nothing to do! She could visit her "friends", but really, the only one she liked was Chung. All the others were clubbers, strippers, alcoholics, you name it. Luckily she never fell for peer pressure. Her mother had taught her well.
Suddenly, as if it was a call from the heavens, Aisha found a piece of paper thrown at her face. She bolted upright, staring out her window. Her neighbor, Chung, smiled as he closed his window. Leave it to Chung to cure any and all boredom, Aisha thought.
Picking up the letter, Aisha couldn't help but laugh.
Dear Aisha,
I'm so terribly bored. Won't you join Eve and I? We're planning on visiting Raven. We heard he just killed some hobo who tried to mug him! Anyway, I know you'll say yes, you never have anything fun to do otherwise!
Yes, her gang of friends were certainly quite crazy.

Bang bang bang!
"Careful! You'll knock my door down!" Chung cried, swinging the door open for Aisha. She giggled as she walked in Chung's small, cozy home. It was much smaller than hers with only one floor, but his parents were so nice and smart, they could turn any old box into a lovely home.
"So, tell me about this whole Raven thing." Aisha sat down on Chung's old, dusty, red couch.
"Apparently, he was going to buy some groceries for his parents, when he thought, Hey, how about instead of spending money, I spend none at all? So what he did was he robbed some elderly man of his groceries. Then Raven was going home when another elderly hobo tried to mug him, but Raven quickly killed him. Or maybe not so quickly. I don't know all the details. That's just what Eve told me." Chung explained. Aisha nodded her head.
"Okay then. Let's go."
"Wait; let me tie my hair up first." Chung grabbed an elastic from his wrist, tying his long, blonde hair into a long, blonde, thin ponytail. He looked girlish, as always. Not that he could help it; his parents couldn't afford a proper hair stylist, and they were too scared to cut his hair themselves. Naturally, his whole family has long hair.
"You really should cut that. By the time you're a grandpa that hair will so long-I can't even picture it!" Aisha laughed.
"Oh, shut up! You sound just like Eve!" Chung snapped. "Let's just go already, before my parents realize I'm gone."
They only had to walk a few metres before they reached Raven's house. Theirs was a small community, and so everyone was literally close. Raven's house was definitely a mess. Broken windows and walls with holes allowed anyone to easily walk in. Of course, no one did. Everyone knew that was Raven's house, and everyone knew Raven was not one to be messed with.
"'Sup guys?" Raven greeted on his dirty, brown, wilting lawn. He blew a puff of smoke in Aisha's face, and she cringed. She was used to all the smoking here, but it still bothered her. She was surprised she hadn't suffered from second hand smoking yet.
"Just checking to make sure you're all right. I mean, killing someone isn't exactly…Um…"Chung stuttered. It was sad seeing him like this, Aisha thought. He immediately lost his cool around Raven.
"I'm not a child, dammit! Of course I'm fine! People kill each other every day, it's like breathing! God, don't turn into my mother, Chung. Although, you already look the part!" Raven laughed.
"Whatever. Have you seen Eve? She hasn't been home for a couple hours. I'm worried about her." Chung frowned.
"Oh, your girlfriend, eh? I'm surprised you didn't bang her yet!" Raven cackled.
Chung grimaced. "You know I would never do that to her! She's beautiful, smart and delicate!"
"She goes clubbing every night. Yeah, that totally describes delicate. I bet she-"Aisha slapped Raven before he could finish. She quickly reeled back, surprised of her actions. No one dared touch Raven! Yet she did, and in one of the worst ways possible! Raven glared, sending chills up her spine.
"S-s-s-s-s-sorry!" Aisha squeaked, jumping behind Chung. She had only done that to stand up for Chung! She had only done it because he was so mean! She shouldn't be punished for this! God had always been nice to her, giving her her fortunate lifestyle, so why should He let her die now?
To Aisha's surprise, Raven laughed. "Eh, you're quite bold kid! I might have to-"
"That's enough Raven! Just tell me if you have seen Eve!" Chung snapped. Chung and Eve were a legit couple; in fact, Eve even lived with Chung due to a financial crisis. Together they were pulling along just fine, though they did fight a lot.
"I think I saw her with Rena." There was a dangerous glint in Ravens eyes, a glint that only meant bad news. At least to other people.
"Thank you. Do you happen to know where Rena is?" Chung asked.
"Not here. She left awhile ago, obviously. Why do you even care where Eve is?" Raven cocked his head to the side, sending out another puff of smoke.
"I'm her boyfriend! I don't want her running off and doing…You know what again!" Chung furiously ran a hand through his hair. Oh no. This was a touchy subject for Chung. Eve had betrayed Chung several months ago, and ever since, Aisha had to admit Chung was emotionally scarred. Unfortunately, Chung was too nice and forgave Eve, though only with a set of rules. Aisha felt bad that she doubted Eve even followed them. A good boy and a bad girl: Aisha couldn't help thinking terrible things were bound to happen.
"She was only living, kid! Give her a break! We all do it!" Raven sneered.
"Again, shut up Raven! Don't talk like that! Just please tell me!" Chung begged.
"Alright, alright. I heard they were at a big party down at Richian's."
"Thank you!" Chung sighed, grabbing Aisha's hand as they both sped down the street. Finally, they had gotten away from that creep!
A block away from Richian's house, Eve was found limping toward Chung. She flung herself at Chung, giggling.
"Heeey Chuuung~" Eve slurred. "I was looking for yoouu!"
"Oh, god, we need to go home!" Chung panicked.
"Don't worry! I had fun but Richian started making out with me and then Stella knocked him out so it's okay!" She smiled. It was scary how drunken Eve and normal Eve were so different.
The look in Chung's eyes was enough for Aisha. "I'm just going to go now. Sort this out yourself. Bye." Aisha quickly dashed out of there before any of them could object. Chung and Eve's fights were always so frightening, even Raven wouldn't want to be in the middle of it.
She decided to go to the drug store. After all, if her father came home without any drugs or alcohol waiting for him, she'd get whipped worse than ever.
It was always awkward walking into that shady building. It was full of creepy, dirty, mean, sick strangers that scared her so much she wanted to just run out of there screaming, hoping none of them would catch her first.
Another thing Aisha's dad loved about Sander was that drugs and alcohol were 100% legal. Of course, Aisha hated it, but not like he cared. Nervously, Aisha walked toward the drug section of the store, each step shakier than the last. Finally, she swiped a few bags of crack, two handfuls of vodkas and quickly dashed to the counter. Luckily, the cashiers questioned no one. Aisha handed over 1 000 000 ED, stuffed the crack and vodka into a bag given to her by the cashier, and went right home. One of the only benefits of walking out of the store carrying drugs and alcohol was that others didn't know she was completely sober. That way, nobody attacked her or tried to peer pressure her, except her friends.
It was a rather dark day today, Aisha thought. Not many people were around. She suddenly became worried. Right now she must stick out like a…Like someone sober amongst drunkards! She hurried her pace taking deep breaths until the thing she feared most happened.
Before her stood Valak, the Lord of Pain. Famous for his thievery. Probably one of the most wanted in Sander, and he was here, standing with her. He didn't even need to say anything; they both knew why he was there.
Aisha screamed as Valak lunged at her, a high pitched mousy sound that could be mistaken as an animal call. The bottles of vodka broke on the ground, shards of glasses scattering her legs as small pools of blood dripped onto the sidewalk. Valak pined Aisha down, his signature creepy arm leveled exactly above her throat. She closed her eyes, waiting. Waiting for that impact that meant her death.
It never came.
Out of nowhere, a red blur tackled Valak, sending him toppling yards away from her. All she saw were swords, all she heard were screams, and all that happened was several swords raining down onto Valak's poor, lifeless body. A spiky red haired boy wearing a peculiar red and black spiky outfit with a lot a chains stood over Valak's corpse, panting. For moment, his red eyes met with her violet ones, before he and his infinite swords vanished.
Aisha stumbled getting up, picking up her crack and a few vodka bottles before she ran home, as fast as her small, delicate legs could carry her.

The mayor of Sander stood on that impressive, round, huge stage in the middle of town square, with a strange, dark boy standing next to him.
"In our most recent efforts to improve this wonderful country, I am pleased to announce that Elsword Seighart from now on will be the Savior of Sander!"
Aisha couldn't believe that this Elsword kid was the same one who saved her from last night.
A/N: horrible ending, I know. Used for cliffhanger purposes :P I promise, this end will be described in more detail next chapter! :D
It's a bit short, but hey, first chapters are supposed to be short, right? Just an introduction, I couldn't have made it too long :P
Okay, well, so far, quirky story. A bit more mature than what we usually do, but that's alright. I've always thought of Sander as this weird, shady, dark place with crime everywhere /shot.
I mean, Sander is really cool! Yeah! No hate or anything!
Please, tell us how our fail attempt at a new story went! :D
R&R!
-Zenya
Oh gawd…so much drugs, alcohol, and all that shit kids aren't supposed to touch – that's right, kids! Step away from the story if you're intrigued by drugs and want to start drugs! DO NOT TOUCH THAT SHIT! It's gonna kill you. /slapped
Uh, well, I'd always pictured this as something simple, Aisha gets back from shopping or something, gets mugged, Elsword saves her and stuff, but NOPE! Zenya thought it'd be better with all the drug use, and alcohol and shitty economy! Good Lord, man…
Well, review or something…
