Chapter 4
She turned to face the odd creature, but found it wasn't there.
'Maybe I'm still tired or something' Hitomi thought to herself as she kept walking along the street. She was about to go into the bank when again something caught her eye, but it wasn't an animal. It was another small dragon pendant in an antique shop. It wasn't really in the showcase window either.
'Weird...' Hitomi thought as she stopped in the middle of the crowded sidewalk.
Before she could stop herself she found her nose pressed to the glass showcase, like a 5-year old staring at a toy they've always wanted. Shaking her head, Hitomi pulled herself away from the window and walked into the bank.
'Psshhh, I don't even have any money anymore. I don't know why I think that I can get something as beautiful as that.'
The pendant was beautiful as she brought the image to life in her memory. It was a rearing dragon with black wings and subtle silver bones running through it, the eyes were navy, and the body was colored like the wings but in a wavy double S form (A.N. you know, one s on top of the other?) It had a gunmetal chain that would have been easily replacable if it weren't engraved with a symbol on each link.
'Hmm... Maybe later...' Hitomi thought as she pulled her attention to a bank clerk.
"Hi I'd like to withdraw 10,000,000 yen please" Hitomi said quietly, trying not to hold anyone's attention.
"Name?" the bank teller asked after a moment of silence
"Kanzaki, Hitomi" she replied politely.
"One moment please." the bank teller said as he went to get the approval papers.
Hitomi sighed again as she watched the bank teller leave. She wanted to withdraw all of her savings, but in case she did come back, she would need money.
~Meanwhile~
"Hey Mark!" one of the shopclerks said to the other.
"Yea?" the other said, turning.
"Where'd that pendant go? You know, the one with the dragon that I was gonna give to Ben for his birthday?" the blond haired clerk asked.
"Dunno. I haven't seen it since that girl was looking at it. It's probably somewhere around here. After all the girl didn't even come in the store, she couldn't have lifted it."
"Alright."
*Hisssss*
It croaked before grabbing the pendant away. Both of the shop clerks didn't seem to acknowledge it's presence. Carefully it sheltered the pendant in its hands and flew noiselessly out of the shop.
"Shut the window would you? It's too cold to leave it open." Mark said to the other shopclerk.
"It's closed" remarked the bewildered clerk.
The silent shoplifter's lips curled into a semblance of a smile before flying out the door and into the bank.
~In the Bank~
Hitomi tapped her foot impatiently as she waited for the clerk to return.
'I hope this doesn't take all day.' Hitomi thought anxiously. She hoped that while she was here, Van didn't have the sudden urge to spar, practice, or wander like he normally did.
She spun as something to her left caught her eye. Tensed for an attack, Hitomi's hand flew to her pocket knife on her key chain and frowned.
'Nothing...' Hitomi thought nervously, 'I guess I've been expecting Dornkirk to pop out around the corner since Van has come back.'
She relaxed as she turned back towards the counter and again something caught her eye. Her left shoulder suddenly had more weight to carry on it and, out of the corner of her eye, she could see a small silver and black dragon clutching the pendant she had seen earlier.
'Oh my freaking GOD!' Hitomi thought as she jumped back into another customer. Just as suddenly as the dragon had appeared to her it disappeared.
'What the hell?' Hitomi glanced around quickly as she made her apologies to the person standing behind her.
"I'm soo sorry." Hitomi said bowing her head in an apology.
"Nonsense my dear. It's quite alright, but you did give your dragon quite a scare there." the other person replied light-heartedly.
Hitomi's head shot up quickly as she looked directly at the person standing behind her.
"B-b-b-ut y-you are d-d-d-d-ead!" Hitomi managed to stutter out before everything dark.
"Miss? I need you to sign here, here, and here" the bank clerk said as he faced the counter once more.
"Give her a moment please." the person said as they kneeled down to wake Hitomi.
"Dear, this is no place for a nap!"

If i end up missing a deadline or something REVIEWS HELP TO REMIND MEEEEE!!! (i know that's a pathetic call for reviews but please review) Tell me what you think!
