Disclaimer: I do not own Sly Cooper or any other character from the Sly Cooper games. The only characters I own are Cedric, Hugo, and any other OCs I throw in to the mix.
Author's note: Thank you for all your great reviews, as this is my first fic, I appreciate any and all suggestions, EXCEPT FLAMES. Also, the character contest is still going on so, if you have any characters you have made, please send them in (anthropomorphs only though (no humans)). Thank you.
Japan Anyone?
After an uneventful flight, the plane landed in Tokyo, Japan. As they left the airport, they were met by an extremely beautiful vixen. She had long brown tresses and strange purple eyes. She had the face of an angel, although she refused to admit it. She was wearing a black tank top over a purple cotton tank top with a black skirt. She was wearing black leather gloves and had her hands on her hips, always a bad sign.
"Late as always!" she exclaimed as the group approached her.
"Grace, this is Sly Cooper and Carmelita Fox. Sly , Carmelita, this is Grace," hurried Cedric as he quickly tried to make pleasant conversation before things got ugly.
"Hello, it's not everyday I get to meet two big shots like yourselves. Now Cedric, I believe we have some accounts to settle. Do you know how much a ticket from America costs these days? You owe me..." Grace named an astronomical figure and Cedric named a counter price. While they haggled, Hugo continued the introductions.
"Grace is one of our contacts and helps us out from time to time on our bigger jobs," said Hugo before dropping to a whisper. "Cedric's head over heels for her but don't mention it. I bet he'll go ten seconds before he agrees to whatever she says the price was,"
"How much?" challenged Sly.
"Twenty bucks?" suggested Hugo.
"Deal" agreed Sly.
"One, two, three, four, five.." they began to count. On five, Cedric agreed to Grace's current price and handed over the cash. Hugo glowered and paid Sly the money he'd lost.
"Sorry about that. Grace is going to be helping us a bit. She's got all of us access to the conference that Bentley and Penelope will be at. Grace, Carmelita, Sly, and myself will go as 'honored guests,' Hugo will be above us on lookout duty. In the meantime, she's arranged for a few rooms at the hotel the entire conference is at."
Sly cut in, "I should probably do some recon. once we get there."
"This should be pretty easy, we just go in, talk to Bentley and Penelope and get out. There really shouldn't be any need for reconnaissance," objected Grace as she called a taxi.
When they got to the hotel, they found that Grace had booked them three rooms, one with two beds and two with only one. When Cedric realized this he suggested that they try to swap on of the rooms but they found that the hotel was full.
"Well I'm not sharing. A girl needs her sleep after all," said Grace as she picked one of the rooms for herself. Cedric and Hugo exchanged one glance and nodded. Practically flying across the hall, they took the room with two beds and locked the door, leaving Carmelita and Sly to share a room.
Cedric pulled out his cell phone and called Grace.
"You planned this didn't you," asked Cedric.
"Of course, you know me," she answered and hang up.
Meanwhile across the hall, Carmelita was threatening for the umpteenth time to shoot Sly if he got any 'funny ideas.' Sly, also for the umpteenth time, was reminding Carmelita that he was a gentleman and would do no such thing. They eventually came to an agreement; ly would sleep on one side of the bed and Carmelita on the other. Luckily the bed was a king-size so there was more than enough room. That night the whole gang slept soundly, not knowing that some of the other 'guests' weren't science experts at all. In fact, several of them were from the Yakusa, the Japanese mob.
