Hello again, and I'm back, thanks for reviewing! YAY!! I don't want to stall any longer, so I'll be blunt! Let's start the dang story!!
"It's not the fall that kills you, it's you're sudden meeting with the ground"-Anonymous
The phantom thief Dark Mousy was walking away from the museum, his face grinning with the victory of another heist. One hand tossed a jeweled brooch up into the air, only to be captured again in one black gloved hand.
DARK!! Daisuke's voice screamed out in Dark's head, thoroughly getting his attention.
"What??" he asked out loud, trying to find out what his counterpart was yelling about.
Some one's jumping from that building!! Daisuke replied, his voice hitting a somewhat shrill tone. Indeed, when Dark looked over, he could see the form a young girl falling quickly to the ground. He could hear the sound of a scream of anger, and knew what he had to do. He ran.
He ran to catch the girl, his feet hitting the ground hard and fast, as he sprinted to the side of the building. He wasn't going to make it, she was so close to the ground, and he was still pretty far away. The girl's white hair billowed out behind her as she fell, her back to the ground.
Dark cursed to himself for being so slow, and dove. He reached the girl, his arms closing around her small form, embracing her close to his chest. His momentum carried him farther then he expected, and he tumbled head over heels on the pavement, his arms still closed around the girl.
When he finally stopped tumbling, her could only hear two things. One was Daisuke congratulating him for saving the girl, and the other was a ringing sound he got from hitting his head hard against the cement. The girl was knocked out cold, her head lying on the rough ground, blood trickling down from a cut she got while tumbling. He heaved her off of him, muttering to himself about how such a small girl could weigh so much.
By the time he stood up, the ringing had stopped, and now Daisuke was muttering fretfully, like a mother hen. He looked at the girl, and was surprised, seeing that the girl looked to be about fifteen years old, and had soft, long white hair that curled around her body. He body, much to Dark's dismay, was rather skinny, and undeniably flat. Her eyes were closed peacefully, her jet black lashes brushed closed, and they looked very dark against her pale skin, and a small blush covered her cheeks in a soft rose color.
She wore a much worn white dress, which fell to her ankles, and was frayed, with wear. The hem was soaked a gray color with water and the tell tale brown stains of dirt marred her knees and streaked her pale calves, which were revealed by her crumpled skirt, which lay now at her knees. The dress seemed to be one size fits all, and covered her body limply, cut off at the arms, with a simple scoop neck that didn't flatter her at all. Her feet wore terribly worn white flats, which were scuffed up, and stained with blood.
What happened to her?? Daisuke asked, after seeing the girl's crumpled form.
"I don't know..." he replied looking up, trying to see where the angry scream had come from. He couldn't see anyone. That's when he heard it, the girl was stirring. Dark's head snapped around to see what the girl was doing.
She had propped herself up on her elbows, jutting her flat torso upwards.
"Uh... what happened?" she asked, in a crackly voice, as though she hadn't used it in ages.
Dark was mesmerized by her soft lilac colored eyes that sparkled like amethysts. They were large, and their frame of black lashes gave her a slightly mystifying look, as though she was perpetually day dreaming. It suited her well.
"You jumped..."
"Where are they!?!" she yelled out, interrupting Dark, who stepped back, surprised. She looked up, revealing a necklace that hung around her neck. It was thick, and looked very mecha, with a small blue oval of glass in the middle of it. It seemed to glow.
"Who..."
"Them!! You're in danger! No!" she screamed, and then turned quickly on her torn shoes and feet, and ran away, her legs pumping up and down with surprising speed.
"Wait!" Dark yelled, as he tried to see what the girl was looking at when she gazed upward. He didn't see anything, and he tried to follow her. She sprinted hard, turning sharp around corners of buildings, until she ran down a dark alley. Dark followed, but when he rounded the corner, he didn't see the girl.
The alley was dark and damp from the recent rain. He could see garbage bins, overflowing with bags full of discarded food and such. He could see all of this, but he couldn't see the one thing he had chased. The girl. He knew she went down this alley, but he couldn't see her. What he did see was one of her shoes. He walked over, and looked at it. It appeared to be a size 7 ½.
"Great, almost all the girl's in Japan wore a size 7 ½ shoe," he muttered to himself as he tossed the shoe into the garbage bin, and walked off, back to home.
-Thanks! Read and Review! (BTW- how's it so far? Please tell me!! - thanks!!)
