Chapter 1

"Phantom Thief! Stop right there, you're under arrest!" A grayish haired girl yelled pointing her gun at a blonde haired girl.

"Ahh, is that so?" The blonde haired girl stood up with a bag of diamonds in her hand. "You know that's not a very nice way of showing yourself to me, especially after saving your life a couple days ago," she said, shaking her head as if ashamed.

"Well neither is stealing! And I had to be saved because of your actions!" The grayish haired girl replied, as she puffed out her right cheek.

"Well as much as I'd love to stay here and talk, I unfortunately must be getting back home. Now if you'll excuse me," the thief said before bowing while throwing a smoke grenade on the floor.

"Don't run away just because I proved my point! Get back here!!" The officer shouted flailing her arms and stomping her feet on the ground before running after her. As she was running after the thief, she kept looking around, she was next to a church she was quite familiar with, she turned a corner and ran into a dark blue haired girl. Both of them fell backwards. As the officer focused her sight at the girl, she realized who it was.

"Umi-chan!" The officer jumped up and helped the girl to feet. Umi was wearing her usual white nun outfit.

"Kotori, what are you doing here?" Umi asked her, she looked very nervous and was blushing furiously. She also seemed to be fidgeting alot.

"Umi? Are you okay? You seem nervous." Kotori asked concerned, and that made Umi seem even more nervous.

"I-Its n-nothing really" Umi said. However Kotori knew she was lying, but decided to let her off the hook.

"Have you seen the Phantom Thief Elichika?" Kotori asked changing the topic. However she saw Umi's eyes widen and flush a crimson red. "Huh? Umi-chan?" Kotori asked noting how flushed she was.

~A few minutes ago~

Umi was getting ready to go home after taking care of the alpacas that lived in the back of the church. However it took her longer than she thought it would take. It was already 11 PM by the time she finished up going to church with the other sisters and taking care of the alpacas. As she was heading home she heard a familiar voice close by.

"Get back here I said! I know you're here! You're under arrest Phantom Thief!" Umi figured out it was Kotori and decided to find out was going on however as she was nearing the front of the church, someone had turned the corner, right in front of her and before she could yelp in shock or anything the girl took her wrist and pulled her to the corner while covering her mouth. After a couple seconds the other girl released Umi's wrist and mouth. She looked over the corner to see if her chaser had left. Umi looked at the girl, she had blonde hair tied back in a high ponytail and was wearing a black top hat with a blue trim. Her eyes were ice blue and was wearing a monocle on her right eye. She had a blue tie which matched the rest of her outfit and black gloves with blue at the end where it reached her wrist, but what she noticed most was the fact that in the hand where she was holding her wrist she had a bag of diamonds. Then it all came to her. Why Kotori was here, and why the blonde was hiding and trying to keep her quiet.

"Ahh... Phantom Thief Elichika, stealing is bad-" Umi wasn't able to finish her sentence as a pair of lips met hers. Icy blue eyes stared into her own shocked amber eyes.

"Quit talking" the blondes smooth yet cool voice said as she had a finger over her mouth. Umi began to flush furiously.

"That girl is still on the other side... Be patient and hold still until I say it's okay to go," Umi said without looking at the other girl still overwhelmed about what happened to her a little while ago. Her face felt hot and her heart was beating so hard and fast she thought it was going to explode. Then after awhile she told the other girl it was okay to run away, and so she did.

~back to present~

"Umi!" Kotori shouted shaking her shoulders bringing her back into reality. Umi then snapped out of it and decided to tell her everything that had happened to her as Kotori listened she began to get a little angry and as Umi finished her story, Kotori's fuse broke.

"That womanizer!!" Kotori shouted.

"Huh?" Umi tilted her head as question marks and sweat drops surrounded above her head. Kotori noticed what she had said aloud and covered her mouth.

"Aahhhh it's not what you think Umi-chan!" Kotori flailed her arms in a defensive position. Umi watched as Kotori was flailing her arms, embarrassed by her remark and couldn't help but laugh. Kotori was surprised by this but then also burst into laughter.

"I'm home" Eli said as she walked through the door she had changed her clothes into regular ones so she didn't give out her secret.

"Welcome back onee-chan!" A girl who was younger and had lighter hair than Eli's blonde hair exclaimed happily as she walked over to greet Eli.

"Hey Alisa, how's mom doing?" Eli asked her younger sister as she walked towards the kitchen.

"Her condition hasn't changed," Alisa said with a sad tone "the next bill is coming tomorrow" she added. "What are we going to do? We don't have the money to keep paying for mom's hospital bill and we can't let her die either!" Alisa started sniffling. Eli crouched down in front of her and wiped a tear off of her face. She looked at her with soft eyes as Alisa continued to sniffle.

"Of course we can't let her die, but we can't let ourselves die either," she said smiling.

"T-then w-hat can...we do? Alisa looked up at Eli as stood up.

"I'll figure something out... I promise" Eli looked out the window of their apartment thinking back to the diamonds, but also about Minami Kotori. I guess I'll have to wait a little while before making you my target. She thought. She looked back at Alisa who had calmed down and was also looking out the window. The next day Eli went off on her own to trade in the diamonds for money at the black market. Once she was done she went to the grocery store and bought ingredients she would use to make dinner that night. When she got back there was mail at her door one of which was the medical bill from her mother. She looked at the bill in disbelief. The price had raised by nearly $10,000 dollars. Making it $100,000 to pay, $100,000 which she didn't have. Of course the money from the diamonds gave her alot of money's worth, but having to buy groceries to eat and paying the other bills in the apartment, she was left with $70,000 she was short of $30,000. I could go rob somewhere again...But that would mean I have to leave Alisa again...And if I'm caught...Then... She didn't want to think about getting caught she had to do this for her family. She clutched the bill in her hand and headed to Alisa's room.

"Onee-chan?" Alisa looked up from her desk where she was doing schoolwork.

"I'm sorry but I'm going to be out again today," Eli told her. Alisa looked sad but then she smiled

"Mhm ok!" Alisa smiled, but Eli knew she was faking it. She walked over to Alisa and pulled her into a hug. Alisa could feel her eyes burning a little as her tears started welling up.

"I'm sorry, Alisa but i have to go in order to make this right," Eli whispered to Alisa despite them being the only two in the apartment. Alisa didn't say anything only nodding her head and Eli let go of her and headed towards the door. She put on her Phantom Thief uniform and began planning where to go.

Authors Notes:

So here's my first chapter I hope you enjoyed it I'm sorry it's short but I didn't really know what to do, because when I first planned to write this I had been planning out way ahead in like chapter 5. So I know that it doesn't make much sense and it's not very cohesive, but I hope that future chapters will be better. I don't own any of the characters, the game (Klab) or the anime, But anyways I don't really know what to say other than that.
