Prologue ( more of a description of the setting then anything else)
The world is still kept with the customs of an old world, glamours castles still keep the royal blood and brave warriors pledge their undying loyalty. However unlike the your world this world is a lot more advanced then it seems. SCientists have learned
how to harness the energy from the sun, agriculture thrives thanks to studies in Ecology, ( well at least in N0.6 ), sickness has gone down to an all time low. This Era for many is perfection. However under the diamond incrusted exterior lies a much darker reality.

Chapter 1: Meeting You
Nezumi's POV for the most part at least all the thoughts are his.
In the quite kingdom of No.6 ( whose name had long lost its meaning) at the center of the crowded plaza stood two guards and their prisoner. Tho No.6 was a peaceful Utopia, policy dictated that only the most heinous of crimes called for public execution. The prisoner made to kneel on the ground, said no pleads, didn't beg, nor cry. Under his shaggy bangs he held no expression no fear, just the look of annoyance. Because for one he was gonna die for no apparent reason.
FUCK! I WAS SET UP.
Said prisoner raised his fist to punch the ground hard enough to leave a dent. His shackles however had been " especially " made as the captain of the guards had put it and made it almost impossible for him to even lift his hands an inch from the ground.
This is absolute bullshit.
"HA! What's the matter rat you finally give in. It'll be a lot easier to hang you
if you don't struggle." The gigantic colossal of man, whose face was one that only a mother could love, sneered at his prisoner.
"Fuck off"
As soon as he heard those words the guard's face went red with rage, his nostrils flared and his veins were ready to pop.
"HUh? What you say!? You filthy rat " the guard punched said prisoner in the gut, said prisoner gritted his teeth at the pain, it wasn't that bad he'd had worse but he hadn't eaten anything, he was feeling weak from hunger and he was dead tired.
FUCK, and all i'd have to do to escape is take those freaking keys that guy's been carrying around. Shit my mice can't even get to them, Im going to-
"Umm excuse me "
At the sound of a new voice Nezumi was jolted wake from his thoughts, in front of them stood a kid in a green cloak; well at east from the sound of his voice he sounded like a kid, that covered his face entirely.
" What do you want, don't you see were busy kid"
" I'm sorry to bother you but i was hoping you could help me " the kid took a few steps closer till he was right in front of Captain.
" Listen kid does it look like I have time to waste helping you?"
" I was told to look for the Captain of the guards "
" That's me. So what's it to ya"
Swiping the keys of the guards belt the clothed figure threw a piece of parchment at the guard.
" Hey what the hell do you think you're doing-"
" I was told to release this prisoner, read the parchment" The stranger walked over and began to unlock his chains, and all he could think was.
What. The. Hell.
the clothed figure started unlocking his shackles as he did so he whispered
" RUN!"
" Hey what the fuck is this " The guard stood holding a blank parchment, looking like a complete idiot of course, they however with the final click were off running as fast as their legs could carry.
Well at least he did because Hooded figure guy ran slower then 70 year old man with a bad hip, well maybe not that bad but still, they were going to get caught if he didn't run faster.
" Shit, Come on " Taking the slow poke by the arm he began to drag the other along, surprisingly the stranger was incredibly light. They ran, oh how they ran, dodging people, carts, horses, and oh course screaming attacking guards. Through sheer luck, the guards at the gate were fast asleep.
Typicalthe prisoner thought with a chuckle.
Once outside they ran for the trees, weaving through branches, rocks and all kinds of shrubbery.
" O-over the-ere " the stranger pointed weakly at giant shrub all the while gasping for air.
Which he had to practically had to carry the kid over his shoulder to get to.
This kid's seriously out of shape.
" Okay now what? Hide in the bush or something?"
The kid was so out of breath that all he could do was lightly pull the prisoner by his raggy and rather torn shirt.
" C-ave" was he could save before he started coughing up a storm.
The prisoner rolled his eyes, this weaker than a newborn baby routine was getting really old.
" Come on, " they had to crawl on their hands to get in, it was a perfect way to camouflage their presence. Unfortunately, it was a more than snug fit, the sides of the tiny hole in the ground poked him in the stomach of all places.
" This place is killing me"
" Well to be fair" the kid said having seemingly found his breath
"When I found this place i originally thought it would just be me in here. Sorry." * laugh*
" So I'm guessing you're NOT from the Organization" Not that he actually believed those guys would come to save his ass or anything.
" ... Umm. O-organization? sorry no" the kid shook is head in confusion.
Figures
" So Why did y-"
" Hey look over there ! Everyone split up and cover as much ground as possible! " There and behold was the Captain with his veins ready to pop out of his head.
" But Captain what about the runaway. If the new King finds out we lost him , HE'll Have our HEADS" one of his subordinates said.
" Don't you think I Don't KNOW THAT. Look Lets just go back and look for the runaway he couldn't have gone far, he may be an elite genius , but he's also an airhead "
" And the Prisoner? sir?"
" Forget him we have more pressing matters"
" Yes sir " the guard saluted the captain and left. The others searched for another 5 minutes before moving on as well.
Once they were gone the stranger sighed with relief his tense body physically dropped further on the cave floor.
" I was worried for a second " he said. After another 10 minutes they began to emerge from the cave, the kid struggled to get out and when he finally did he lost his footing and fell flat on his face.
Perfect
Instantly he was on top of kid hands on his neck ready too wring any answers he needed.
" Why did you save me? Who sent you?"
" W-what?"
" Who are you?"
" Im ..." His voice was muffled so he flipped him over so he could face him, the cloak he wore hid his whole face well and it annoyed him to hell. After all you could always tell when someone was lying by their eyes. Pulling harshly he flipped the hood. As soon as he did white locks flew loose, ad clear bright ruby eyes caught his.
" What the -? "
" I saved you because I thought you were innocent, I don't even know who you are but I just that that it was too barbaric to execute you."
Huh ?
" My name's Shion by the way" he paused and then looked him straight in the eyes. " What's yours ?"
With a sigh he got off Shion.
" Might as well, My names Nezumi"
" Nezumi ? ... hmm...Nezumi, Nezumi"
" What heck are you doing ?"
" Trying out your name! Your the first new person I've met in years"
" Are you Thick or something I'm a wanted criminal'
Nezumi shook his head in disapproval.
" Criminal or not it's still nice to meet you"
Nezumi for once in his life was completely shocked, tho his face sure as hell didn't show it. This kid's crazier then I thought.
And so their adventure began ...
First chapter yaah!
