Chapter 2-How I got caught

A boy, about 16, walked down the pathway in the B.A.D district of Satellite. He was almost to his house when someone clapped their hand on his shoulder. He spun around, and cursed under his breath when he saw Sector Security.

"What do you want?" He snapped

One of the officers lifted a holographic photo of the guy known as the Rooftop Runner, "have you seen this person?"

Raising an eyebrow, he asked, "Should I? Look, I didn't do anything wrong, so just let me go." With that he pulled himself away, and went on his way.

The officer ran his hand through his hair, "Boss isn't going to be happy about this."

"Well what are we supposed to do? The guy's been able to avoid us for 6 months. I don't think he's going to make it easier for us." The other officer said as they walked back to the cruiser.

Nether of the officer saw the red-haired teen that was on the roof right above their heads. He walked into the middle of the roof. He picked up a brown messenger bag there, and pulled it onto his shoulder before walking off.

'6 months and, so far, I haven't been caught. A few close calls though; just because the roofs here are so weak. But it's not like I have a choice.'

He continued walking when he heard the familiar creaking of wood. He stood still hoping he was just hearing things. So many things happened at once, his floor broke and he fell through and landed badly on his right foot. While coughing the dust out of his lungs he heard the cock of a gun.

"D-don't move!"

His head shot up and looked at the older man who stood in front of a woman who was hugging a 10 year old boy. While he was moved by the man wanting to protect his family, getting shot was not part of his agenda.

Standing up slowly, he said, "Look I don't want trouble. I'm not going to hurt you." Just when he had stood, his right leg buckled with the pain of his ankle. As gravity pulled him down, he heard a shot and a sharp pain went through his right shoulder. As he fell to the floor he heard the man yell. Everything after that was a blur. He felt himself being moved, and someone pulling something out of his shoulder. He heard a horrible scream, and realized a second later that was him. The pain ended up being too much for him, and was pulled into the heavy darkness.

Dr. Schmidt wiped his forehead as he left the red-haired boy in the infirmary part of his house. According to Mr. Shiba, he was the infamous Rooftop Runner. He knew Mr. Shiba didn't mean to shot the poor kid, but when he suddenly collapsed, he scared the man. A knock on the door interrupted him from his thoughts.

He opened the door, and there stood a woman about a head shorter than him with dreadlocks dressed in a brown dress.

"Martha, good to see you. Please come in."

"Thank you, Doctor. I hear that you're treating the Rooftop Runner?"

"Yes. Crashed through Mr. Shiba's roof and scared him. Unfortunately, he shot the poor boy by accident."

"Poor thing. He'll be ok, right?"

"Oh yes. He passed out, while I pulled the bullet out. I wished I had morphine or anastasia to give him."

"What's his name? We can't keep calling him Rooftop Runner."

"No clue, but there are some items he had with him. Maybe there's a name on something."

The two split the pile, and looked for a name. Martha found nothing on the red hoodie, but made a mental note to clean and fix it. She looked on the messenger bag but still found nothing. She opened the door and pulled out a black spiral note book. On the inside were the initials, "A.I."

"Whoever he is, he writes music." Martha said glancing at the pages filled with music notes.

"There's nothing on his Duel Disk. Hopefully, he might have written his name on one of his cards."

Martha pulled out a photo that was hidden in the pages of the music book. It was the boy with a 13 year old girl on his back. She had long brown hair with long bangs framing her face, shorter bangs reaching her green eyes. If it wasn't for the fact they looked nothing alike, she would have thought they were siblings. She flipped it and on the back was, "Akiyuki and Tamara, 08/09/10"

"Akiyuki. That's his name." Martha said showing Dr. Schmidt the picture.

"Great! Now, all we need is a place for him to stay." Seeing the confused look on Martha's face he explained, "Sector Security is going to be looking for him. He can be moved in a week since the sprain on his ankle wasn't too bad, but they might not wait as long."

"Well, Crow and Yusai came to visit me today. They happened to mention that the Rooftop Runner came crashing through their roof. It's supposed to be fixed today."

"And they wouldn't even think to look at the places he had been. Their thoughts will be to look on where he could show up next. The B.A.D district is rather large."

"Let's hope Jack doesn't kill him then. He apparently won't stop complaining about all the sawdust that got in his eyes. I better get back to the orphanage. I don't want to leave the girls for too long."

"I'll call when he's well enough to move." With a wave, Martha left.

Dr. Schmidt went back to where the boy, now known as Akiyuki, slept. He used a damp towel to wipe off the sweat that built up on his forehead. He had to wonder though, from the look of the good condition of his clothes, he wasn't from here. But what happened in New Domino that made him leave and come here? Who was the girl in the photo? He raised his eyebrow as he looked at the odd looking claw tattoo on Akiyuki's arm. It was in the same place as Jack's own birthmark. Plus it almost looked like it was done by the same artist. But Jack had the mark since he was a child, was it a coincidence? Just then, Akiyuki moaned and his eyes fluttered open.

"W-where am I?" He asked groggily.

"You're ok. You're at my house. I'm a doctor."

"W-what about that man?"

"Mr. Shiba is fine. You just gave him and his family a bit of a scare. They brought you here, and lied to the Sector Security to make sure you were alright."

"Uhg, my arm."

"Yes, I just took a bullet from it, and you had passed out earlier from the pain. Hopefully, the medicine keeps it from infection, and you can be moved in a week. But, for now, just rest." As if on command, Akiyuki's eyelids fell over his eyes, and he went back to sleep.

Satellite Orphanage

Crow pulled her hair out of the crazy braids some of the girls had put it in earlier, when she and Yusai tried to keep the kids occupied.

"Why my hair? Why not yours?" Crow asked, combing her hair through with her fingers, before pulling it into its customary ponytail.

"Maybe because my hair is too thick to play with? Besides, yours is all long and fluffy." Yusai said teasingly.

Crow glared at her female friend, when they heard the door open. Martha walked into the dining room where the girls were sitting.

"So where'd you run off to? You left us with those demons, cute and adorable yes, but still demons." Crow said.

"I went to go see Dr. Schmidt. Apparently, Mr. Shiba shot the Rooftop Runner."

"WHAT!" Crow yelled

"Crow, be quite. The kids are asleep next door." Yusai said a finger over her lips.

"You saw the Rooftop Runner?" Crow asked, completely ignoring Yusai.

"His name is Akiyuki, and I needed a favour from the two of you."

"If it includes the Roof- I mean Akiyuki, than sure."

"Well, he also sprained his ankle when he fell through the roof. With Sector Security looking for him, I was wondering if you'd be willing to let him stay at your place?"

Team Satisfaction HQ

Crow and Yusai looked at the house in surprise. Not only was the roof fixed, so were the windows and the door.

"Are we at the wrong house?" Crow asked

"Well, I know for a fact ours was the only house the Akiyuki crashed through." Yusai said, opening the door. Kalin and Jack stood near the table, which she noticed now had four legs, not three as before.

"How do you like it? The person, they sent to fix the roof, apparently he can't help but not leave a job unfinished. So, he fixed the windows and the door. Plus he was able to make a leg for the table. Looking pretty good huh?" Kalin said

"Impressive. Now, my turn for News. Team Satisfaction will be housing someone," Crow said

"Housing?" Jack asked, "Since when did we become a hotel?"

"Since Martha asked us to house the Rooftop Runner."

Silence filled the house as Kalin and Jack stared at the smiling ginger. Kalin finally blinked and asked, "I'm sorry, who?"

"He went crashing through another roof, and it had to be one of the few people here who owns a gun. Sprained his ankle, and got shot in the arm plus with Sector Security looking for him, how could I say no?"

"Quiet easily, actually. You only said 'yes' because you like the guy," Jack accused.

"That is not true. This guy is from New Domino, and has been chased by Sector Security for who knows how long. If he wanted to hurt us, he would have done it when he crashed through our roof. This guy is like us; just looking for a better life. Besides, we avoid Sector Security all the time."

"Not what that marker of yours says," Kalin said putting his finger on Crow's 'm' shaped marker. "But, despite that, you're right. Alright, he can stay here."

"What? Are you crazy?" Jack yelled.

"It's three against one, Jack. Just live with it." Yusai said, smiling as she listened to Jack mumble under his breath.

"Alright guys, we agree we won't ask why he's here or anything about his life unless necessary ok?" Kalin said. The team agreed, Jack doing so when Crow stared him down.

"So, this Rooftop Runner have a name anyway?" Kalin asked.

"Akiyuki. His name is Akiyuki."

Strange way to end it I know. But I hoped you enjoyed this chapter. Review!
