Nighttime Rivals

Renegades?

"Sire," a voice said and bowed to the boy in front of him. The boy stopped looking out the window and faced the advisor. "The Eclipse Troop have been detected," he informed the patient boy.

"The renegades have reached Earth?" he asked. The advisor nodded.

"They are also seeking the teardrops sire, they send word that they vow to get what is rightfully theirs," the elder man said.

"Hm, this could be entertaining. Send word to them that they will have to try very hard," he said. The advisor got up to leave, "Oh and don't tell them of the of the others in the area," he said before the advisor left the room. "So, Michibiku, you are going to lead your followers to the teardrops? Well, let's hope that you don't get hurt," the boy laughed.

Earth, Japan

"So this is our new place huh?" a calm voice asked. The taller man nodded. "Well, it will fit our purposes," the voice said. "I'll get to work on the papers," the person pulled out a laptop, put it on the nearby counter, and started typing.

"Tsuyosa, could you help Kuro with the boxes?" the man asked. There was a grumble and the lights flicked on. The man hissed but then blinked, his eyes adjusted.

"Sorry Michibiku-san," a bubbly voice apologized. The man smiled to the black and red haired girl at the light switch. "I'll get the boxes, come on Tsuyosa!" she called to the other black haired girl.

"Shin-shin? You get the building papers ready?" the man from before asked the blonde with the laptop.

"Yes, Michi, but please try to be patience this isn't exactly the easiest system to hack into. Japan is crawling with security," she said and threw her braid over her shoulder. "Nothing like London's."

"Alright, but we need to verify by tomorrow, excuse me for being worried," he retorted. Shineko rolled her eyes and ignored the man that had been like a father to her. "Gin, you have the weekly happenings right?" he asked a girl standing slightly in the shadow.

"There is a teardrop showing next weekend. A royal or something is coming into town and word on the street is that she owns one as a family heirloom," a dark voice answered.

"Aw, we have to steel a family heirloom, that's not very nice," Kuroihyo said with a said voice, while she walked into the room with a box in her hands.

"You do what you need to," said Tsuyosa as she came up from behind holding another box.

A couple hours later they were done unpacking and started to put things in their designated rooms. The flat was quite big. There were five bedrooms, a kitchen/dining room, and a large studio room complete with a stage, art easels, and room for dancing or acrobatics.

"Alright, head for bed, a lot work tomorrow," Michibiku said. There was a collective sigh and then the lights went out.
