Hi! Here's another chapter and I'll be posting the Fullmetal Alchemist story real soon. I already have about eleven chapters down on paper but I still have to put them in the computer.
Yoko and Kuronue led her to a huge mansion. She stood outside the gate looking up at it. It seemed to be even bigger than Lord Koenma's castle in the Spirit World.
"Don't worry. To be so rich, they don't care much about security. They hardly have any guards at all." Kuronue explained.
Yoko nodded."Yeah you think they'd learn."
He jumped up over the fence with Kuronue right behind. She flew over on her oar.
"You might want to leave that here." Kuronue said."It would probably be easier if you ran." He took it and hid it in some bushes growing near the gate."You can get it as we come back through."
"Just follow our lead." Yoko said.
She did. When ever they ran, she ran. Whenever they jumped, she jumped. She was always just a little behind Kuronue. Soon, they were inside the house. It was even bigger on the inside than it was on the outside. It was filled with all kinds of expensive looking things. Yoko and Kuronue led her toward the back of the house. There was a huge tapestry hanging on the wall.
"What's this? A dead end?" Rei asked.
"Watch." Kuronue instructed.
Yoko grabbed the tapestry and pulled it back to reveal a door. The door had a huge lock on it. Kuronue held the tapestry back while Yoko got to work on the lock. In only one minute he had succesfully cracked the lock. Rei was impressed.
"Introducing Yoko, the lock master!" Kuronue said.
"Also introducing Kuronue, the annoying sidekick" Yoko said before disappearing into the door.
"Hey!" Kuronue followed him.
Rei laughed and followed them in. The room had a safe sitting in the middle of it. Yoko walked right up to it.
"That's it? No traps?" Kuronue asked."Not even any guards?"
"Guess they weren't expecting anyone to crack the lock." Yoko said.
"Still, last we were here they had traps." Kuronue seemed to want to run into a trap.
"Do you like traps or something?" Rei asked.
"Yeah. They're fun to get out of!" Kuronue smiled "You might need more training though."
"Got it!" Yoko held up what he had been trying to get out of the safe the entire time. He held up a black crystal attached to a silver chain.
"What's that?" Rei asked.
"It's called the Shadow Crystal. It's very powerful."
"What's it doing here then?"
"This demon is very rich and was probably able to buy it off of someone who didn't know its power."
"But what does it do?" Rei asked.
Then an alarm went off. "I'll explain later! Come on!" Yoko bolted out the door.
Yoko, Kuronue, and Rei ran down the hallway to get back to the door. They turned down a hallway and ran into some demons and imediately took a different route. They ran into a real dead end. Yoko opened a window and climbed out onto the roof. Kuronue followed and turned to help Rei. She began to climb through and took his hand. He started to pull her up when a demon grabbed her leg. Kuronue almost dropped her when the demon pulled on her. She struggled to get loose and ended up kicking the demon in the face.
"Are you okay?" Kuronue asked.
"I'm fine, Let's go." She replied.
There were demons on the roof too. They had had the same idea Yoko had. Some of them had weapons. One demon had bows and arrows which he repeatedly fired and missed. One arrow did come close to hitting Rei's leg though. Yoko jumped right off the roof and when Rei hesitated Kuronue picked her up and carried her down.
They made it back to the front gate without getting hurt. Yoko and Kuronue jumped over and Rei grabbed her oar and flew over. They stopped about halfway back to the cave for rest.
"Well, that was the most fun we've had in a while." Kuronue said."We actually saw some action that time."
"That's because normally we have a large group of people. This time, we only took Rei."
"Hmm. Guess so. We should do that more often."
"Wait. You mean you actually have a band of thieves?"
"Yes. Not too many. Just a few of the best demon thieves."Yoko said.
"How come I haven't seen them?"
"Because only Kuronue and I live in that cave. The rest of the thieves only come when we send a message for them."
"So your like their leader?"
"Yoko is the leader and I'm second-in-command!" Kuronue said proudly."We've been best friends forever so he chose me for second-in-command."
"Don't flatter yourself. That also means your the second best thief." Yoko said.
"So I guess I should consider it an honor to be staying with you two and getting my training from you, right?"
Yoko looked surprised."If you want to, yes."
Kuronue looked at her. "Just about a week ago you didn't even want to tell me your name because I was a demon and now you consider it an honor to live with us?"
"I guess I changed my mind. Maybe demons arn't so bad after all. I was just always taught that they were."
"You can't beleive everything you hear. But we are more violent than humans and spirits and a little different so I guess there would be stories." Kuronue said.
"Guess so."
"Let's go home." Yoko said.
Yoko, Kuronue, and Rei went home. Rei had forgotten all about going back to Spirit World.
Hope you liked it! Please review and if you have any ideas for what should happen I'd like to hear them. I get most of my ideas from my dreams so I'm sorry for anything weird now or in the future.
