"Why do I always have to get stuck with you?" complained Hige, adjusting the loaf of bread under his arm."You always slow me down."

"Slow you down!" said Toboe increadeously, his honey colored eyes alight in indignation." If it weren't for my, you wouldn't even bother looking for food, and would have gone after that blonde coypte we saw! And I don't always go with you, I usually go off with Tsume."

"Yeah,"said Hige, giving Toboe his trademark trouble-maker grin."I'm sure you two are getting plenty of work done."

"What's that suppose to mean!"

The young girl flicked back her short silver hair, scanning the narrow alleyway with her intense grey eyes. "Where'd that stupid bird get to?"she whispered to herself, kneeding her gloved hands together. Her eyes landed on a green dumpster, or rather the ebony feathers sticking out from behind it. Dropping to the ground with total disregard for her worn blue jeans and steel-toed boots, she creeped towards it. Bringing up her hand, she inched it slowly towards the birds tail. When she was but as few inches away, she snatched up the feathers, dragging out the sqwalking creature."Ha! Gotcha!"she exclaimed victoreosly.

(BAD!)the crow sqwauked in it's own languige.(Let go!)

"As if!"she said, pulling a delicate looking beaded necklace from it's beak, before inspecting it's black surface."Everything looks in order."she said, before realing back and hurling the bird into the air.

After making certain that it was gone, she placed the necklace around her throat, rubbing her thumb over the largest bead fondly. She didn't know what she would do if the bird had gotten away with the necklace. Shaking away any straay thoughts or emotions, she stuck her hands into the pocketsof her black hoody with the ivy-covered shoulders and started to walk.

Hige looked boredly at his shoes as he and Toboe easily slid through the throng of humans. He was payinglittle to know attention to where he was going and quickly found himself plowing into someone. He barely avoided crushing the person beneath by falling on his side, but still managed to knock them to the ground."Ag! hey, I'm really sorry, are you-?"he cut himself off as he looked into the face of a ticked but nevertheless attractive girl with silver hair and matching eyes."…alright."

"Yes,"she snapped, standing up haughtily."You should watch where you're going!"

"I know, I know."he said, watching as she quickly walked off."Wow."he said to himself." Don't see girl;s like that every day."

"Hige!"said Toboe in alarm

"What?"

"She took the food!"

"What!" exclaimed Hige, hopping to his feet."Oh man, I can't believe it! I'm never gonna here the end of this!"

"Well let's go before she gets away!"

So wadda ya think about the first chapter? I know it isn't very good, but I promise that it will get better. I wrote this a long time ago, and this is a character I plan on using a lot. She was my most perfectly created character, so I needed an at least semi-okay meeting. Send in your reviews, flames welcome!
