Chapter Three- Eight years later
Heero had changed a lot over the past thirteen years, from a happy, talkative child to a quiet teenager. His appearance as is natural had changed as well. His light brown hair had grown darker with the coming years as did his eyes, from blue to a Prussian blue. Right as of now said Teen was wondering the market place searching for Shiori. As for his attire he was wearing a cloak that completely covered him, so no one would recognize him.
/Where could she have gone/ thought Heero turning this way and that looking for any sign of the girl. Knowing Vladimir to be searching the other end of the market place Heero decided he would go back soon if he didn't find Shiori with in the hour. Sighing Heero started his search again and without moving an inch saw a cloaked figure about Shiori's height walking over to one of the venders that sold apples. Heero watched as the figure seemed to be examining the apples but next second the figure ran with what was unmistakably a fair few apples in their arms.
"HEY, STOP THIEF!" said the owner of the stand. The thief turned their head, stuck out their tongue, turned back around and continued running. Heero, having no luck with his search decided to try and stop the thief, thinking that this was much better then trying to find his sister. With that decided Heero ran after the thief with as much speed as his body would permit. Soon the thief was in his sites and he was gaining on them, whether sensing this or not the thief turned down an alleyway. Heero stopped at the entrance and saw with much delight, though none shown on his face, that the alleyway was a dead end.
"It's the end of the line" said Heero who stared at the thief with accusing eyes.
"I'm afraid you're wrong" said the thief as a rope drop down from the wall, the thief grabbed it and tugged it twice before holding on tight. Heero watched as the thief was pulled up on top of the wall by what looked like a boy of about his age and height. As the thief was being pulled up the hood fell off their head to reveal a young girl who looked no older than 13. When the girl was up there the boy looked down at Heero and the guards that had come to the call of the stand owner.
"Listen well" said the boy who smiled at the people below him "I Shinigami will never be caught, so don't even try it"
"Same goes for me, Death" said the girl who was also smiling. Then the two jumped over the other side and vanished from view. After staring at the spot Shinigami and Death had vanished from for a few seconds, Heero turned around and came face to face with the guards.
"Who were they?" asked Heero
"None of your concern, boy" said one of the guards "Now why don't you run along home, like a good little boy"
The boy lifted down his hood to reveal that it was Prince Heero who they were speaking to. Heero gave the guards a glare that said answer my question or die.
"Your Highness, I'm so sorry…I did not know it was…but what are you doing here outside the palace" said the guard that had spoken before.
"That is none of your concern, now answer my question" demanded Heero
"Ah…alright…um… well as you heard they call themselves Shinigami and Death" said the guard not really wanting to tell but doing as he was told. "They are both thieves who have yet to be caught"
"That all"
"Yes"
"Well I must be going" said Heero while putting his hood back over his face and moving toward the only exit (A/N- for people that don't climb walls that is). However before Heero got to far one of the guards grabbed his wrist making him turn toward said guard. "You can let go now"
"I'm afraid not Your Highness" sighed the guard "You're going home and we're making sure of that"
"I'm on a mission at the moment, this was a short distraction, now I must be going" said Heero who then yanked his arm out of the guards grasp. The guard grabbed his wrist again and spun Heero around to face him.
"You're brother and sister have been waiting for you, at the palace, for quite some time now so…" said the guard as Heero's glare cut him off
"Why didn't you tell me this sooner" said Heero angry that the guards had said nothing about this. With that Heero wrenched free of the guards and ran up the street back to the palace. Panting as he reached the Palace gates, Heero leaned against the wall to catch his breath. While catching his breath the gates opened as two figures stepped out. Quickly noticing them to be Vladimir and Shiori, Heero straightened up and walked over to them.
"You could have came and told me you found her" said Heero a little angry that Vladimir didn't come tell him of his find. When Heero reached Vladimir he smacked him in the back of the head.
"Owww!" said Vladimir while running a hand over the spot Heero had hit. "What was that for?"
"For not telling me" said Heero standing with his arms cross.
"Well excuse me if the market place is big and finding one person is damn near impossible" retaliated Vladimir.
"Well you could have at least tried to find me" said Heero
"Alright that's enough" said Shiori stepping in between the two boys. "Let's just go in" Nodding the two boys followed Shiori inside, in the entrance hall the company of three ran into their father's adviser. The adviser had short blond hair and aqua marine eyes, he was one year older then Heero and Vladimir.
"Hello, Your Highnesses" greeted the adviser bowing to show respect.
"Hello, Quatre" said Shiori "Why aren't you with father?"
"Well he said I'm not needed now, so I decided to go take a walk" said Quatre smiling
"Do you know where father is though?" asked Heero who got a sudden idea.
"Oh yes he's in the library" said Quatre curious about what Heero wanted. "Why do you ask?"
"No reason" plainly replied Heero.
"Well ok I must be going, have a wonderful day you three" said Quatre who disappeared through thee doors seconds later, leaving the three standing in the entrance hall. The three finding it stupid to just stand in the entrance hall went in separate direction to do whatever they wanted. Heero going on Quatre's knowledge of his father's where abouts went to see him. Five minutes later Heero poked his head the library and quickly spotted his father in one of the many chairs scattered through out the room. After opening the door wide enough so he could get in, he walked right over to his father. Said figure looked up just as the door closed.
"Ah! Heero, what can I do for you today, my son" said Zechs smiling as it was.
"I wanted to know if you knew anything about two thieves who call themselves Shinigami and Death" said Heero
"Well I do, but why do you want to know?" asked Zechs curious about the answer he would get.
"I want to know everything about the thieves I plan on catching" said Heero quite plainly.
"What, Heero that is the reason we have guards to…" said Zechs while Heero cut him off.
"…do our dirty work" mumbled Heero
"They are there to ensure our safety and our citizen's safety as well" said Zechs
"Alright I get it, but can you still tell me something about them" said Heero noting the look on Zechs he quickly added "Just curious"
"Fine" sighed Zechs giving up in defeat. "As far as I know they are always seen together and have yet to be caught, they are and unstoppable pair. Rumor has it they might even be siblings, but that's as far as I know"
"Thanks that's all I needed to know" said Heero leaving the room with a smile on his face.
/Just you wait I will catch you, Shinigami and Death if I have to too/ thought Heero who walked toward his room.
