"Stop!" A man yelled chasing a boy wearing a black cloak.

"Tch, persistent," Ash thought turning a corner. "Let's see…how to lose him."

Ash looked up and smiled. He jumped up grabbing the side of a building and quickly climbed up onto the roof.

"Where'd he go?" He heard the man say.

Ash smiled to himself and sat down on the roof.

"Alright let's see what I got." Ash thought taking a small pouch out of his cloak and dumping the contents into his hand. "Hm…100 Euros…not bad."

Ash then stood up and looked down to see if the coast was clear. He jumped down and landed quietly in an ally.

"Brother don't be mad," Someone said. "I'm sure the man didn't mean it."

"But he called me shorty!" A bland haired boy yelled.

"Ed, please calm down," The person in armor said.

Ed sighed angrily. Ash smiled noticing a watch chain coming out of Ed's pocket. "That looks valuable."

Ash quietly approached the two and "accidentally" bumped into Ed, slipping the watch into his pocket. "Oh sorry."

"Whatever," Ed mumbled and shoved his hands into his pocket. His eyes widened and he turned around to see Ash running. "Hey!" Ed yelled and ran after Ash.

"Wow, he noticed pretty fast," Ash thought dodging a group of people. "Wonder if her noticed I jacked his wallet too."

Ash heard a clap behind him and he was suddenly launched into the air. He looked down to see a pillar of rock had come out of the ground. He slammed in to the ground knocking the wind out of him. Someone grabbed his cloak collar and lifted him off the ground slightly.

"Give me my stuff back you little brat!" Ed yelled shaking Ash and making his hood fall off. "Wh-What the?"

Ed dropped Ash and stared at him. Ash had dull silver hair and dull silver eyes. There was also a pair of cat ears sticking out of his hair. Ash quickly put his hood back up and scrambled to his feet. Before he could take another step, he was lifted into the air by a pair of cold gray hands.

"H-Hey! P-Put me down!" Ash said trying to pry the hands off him.

"Not until you give me my brother his stuff back," The armored person said easily restraining him.

Ash kicked him making a soft echo. Ash blinked in surprised. "Hallow?"

"Come on Al, let's get him out of here before we make more of a scene," Ed said walking away.

"Ok brother," Al said slinging Ash over his shoulder and following Ed.

Ash struggled a bit more and then sighed knowing he wasn't going to get away.
