Chapter One : Chance Meeting

The year is 2034. The sun started to set, though the tall buildings and smoke in the city made it impossible to see anyway. A sea of people walked the streets and sidewalks; going to work, leaving work... going out to eat or looking for something to do. The city was always busy, night or day.

Two teens huddled in an alley way entrance, watching everyone walk by. Their blond hair seemed dis-array, and skin was blotted with dirt. The girl held her stomach as a small growl could be heard. Her tired green eyes looked to the boy she was next to.

"Len... When can we eat again?" She asked, a slight scratchiness in her voice, having just gotten over being sick. Len, as the girl had called him looked at her.

"Soon... Just give me some time..." he whispered before looking away, watching people intently as they walked by. His green eyes, though paler then the girls, looked around the mass crowd, hoping to find someone who was too out of it to notice if he took something from them. "Everyone seems so alert today. We might have to wait until later..." He stated, moving a little out of the alley to try and get a better perspective.

The girl sighed, clenching her stomach. "I don't know how much longer we'll last like this..." She protested.

The boy shot a glare at the girl. "We're not going back their Rin. They didn't care for us at all!"

The girl jumped a little at the sudden comment. "At least it was a roof over our head..."

Len's shoulders dropped. "And if they hit us again? Then what?" Rin looked down, she couldn't deny the torture of that wretched shelter house. "Oh!" Len exclaimed, seeing someone who appears slightly drunk wobbling down the street. "Okay... It's now or never. Rin, stay here." He instructed, moving out into the crowd to try and reach the drunk.

A Woman wearing a red tank top and Red skirt was wobbling down the side walk a bit, her balance unsteady and her pockets in clear view from behind as she was being led by a man with blue hair that stood out a bit. He was shaking his head as Meiko was latched to his neck from behind, squeezing it almost chokingly. "M..Meiko, not so tight."

Meiko only seemed to giggle, "That isn't what you said before! Tee hee!" Kaito face palmed as he kept walking slowly, trying to keep the very drunk Meiko on her feet. "Kaaaaito-kuuuun, let's make out!" Kaito sweat dropped and decided to ignore her comment, having to stop to put her back on her feet before she'd fall over, his back facing her again after he righted her arms over his neck. They walked for a moment before he lifted her into a piggyback ride, her pockets even more easily seen now.

Len took a deep breath, a little discouraged by the man's presence. He looked over at Rin for a split second before shaking the thought away. They needed to eat, regardless of how they obtained the money to do so. He quickly but carefully got near them before maneuvering himself to walk directly behind them. His mind raced, his eyes looking at her pockets. The fear of being caught was causing his heart to pound heavily in his chest.

He gulped as he readied to steal the woman's belongings. He has done this hundreds of times before, but this time didn't feel right. Rin crossed his mind again as he glared slightly, quickly reaching and sliding her wallet from the pocket of her skirt. Hoping to go unnoticed he slinked back in the crowd.

The man instantly stopped when Meiko started giggling and turned around to notice the boy with Meiko's wallet. His eyes narrowed but not harshly. "Hey! Give that back!" the blue hair man yelled out. He put down Meiko who gave a half assed thumbs up as she sat on the ground near a wall and the man followed the boy.

Finally he caught up to Len and grabbed him by the back of his shirt, a questioning look on his face. "Don't you know it's not right to steal?" the man asked somewhat calmly, a slight smile on his face now. "She doesn't have any money anyway. She wasted it at the bar." he said pretty bluntly with a slight laugh.

Len panicked, quickly attempting to pull away to no avail. He sighed at his current lack of strength and gave in to defeat. He looked up at the man, though was glaring. "Who the hell wastes all their money at a bar!" He hissed between his teeth, now looking for an escape route, dropping the wallet in the process. "And who cares if it's right or wrong. I'll feed my sister even if it kills me!"

Kaito bent down and picked up the wallet but never let go of Len's collar. He checked it and sighed a bit. "Someone who has no morals." he laughed a little. "So you stole it to feed your sister?" Kaito sat Len down but gave him a smile.

He crouched down a bit to be at Len's level since he was a bit taller. "If you come by my shop I'll give you some free ice cream, maybe even some dumplings." Kaito gave Len's hair a little ruffle and also dug into his pockets to give him a card which showed the address of his ice cream shop but when he placed the card in Len's hand there was a few bills on the back of it though before Len could protest or anything, Kaito began to walk away with a smile. "Be sure to stop by!"

Len looked down at the card before looking back up at the man as he walked away. He sighed heavily, returning to the alley that he had left Rin in. "We… got some. But..." He started as he reached the alley, going quiet as he saw Rin curled up near a box sleeping.

A small smile crossed his face as he quietly moved to sit near Rin, his heart still pounding heavily. This was the first time he was that scared, never actually getting caught before. "Ice-cream and dumplings, huh? Rin would like that..." Len stated, leaning slightly to lean against a wall. "I need to be more careful..." He warned himself.
