Ikuto and Yoru hid behind a building inside the city's market place, "Ikuto…what are we waiting for~ nya?" Yoru asked holding his stomach.
Suddenly, the three guards in charge of the market place walked by. Ikuto smirked. The oldest of the three guards was about in his early 20s. He had long red hair and had golden brown eyes. His name was Nikaidou Yuu. The two younger guards were around the same age as Ikuto. One had long purple hair in a ponytail and golden like eyes like Yuu. His name was Fujisaki Nagihiko. The last guard had dark green hair and light blue eyes. His name was Sanjou Kairi. Ikuto looked at his chara, "Now," he said smirking.
"Yay!" Yoru yelled and headed for the beard stand.
Ikuto, still smirking, walked out into the market place 3, 2, 1 he counted silently, "Thieving Chara! Get back here!" Ikuto heard the owner of the bread stand yell.
"Hold it chara!" Yuu yelled.
Yoru floated above Ikuto and dropped the bread and Ikuto skillfully caught it, "You!" the three guards yelled.
Ikuto just smirked and ran with the bread in his hands, "Tsukiyomi Ikuto!" Yuu yelled.
Ikuto just turned to them and smirked. He character changed with his chara and jumped onto a roof, "Confound it Street Rat!" Yuu yelled has he and Nagihiko and Kairi reached the top of the roof and Ikuto was standing there smirking and waiting, "Is this all a game to you?"
Ikuto smirked and glanced down quickly, "All this for a loaf of bread guys, really?" Ikuto asked.
Yuu, Nagihiko, and Kairi ran towards Ikuto, but he just simply jumped off the two story building using the clothes on the clothes lines to soften his fall. He had lost the bread during the fall dang it he held out his hand with the piles of clothes over his face. The bread suddenly fell in his hand there we go Ikuto removed the clothes from his face and spotted three women who've known him since he was little, but didn't know where he came from. Ikuto spotted the guards coming and quickly grabbed a long blanket and covered his hair and clothes and went over to the women, "Morning ladies," he said.
"Getting into trouble a little early there Ikuto," one woman said smiling.
"Trouble?" Ikuto said smirking, "No. You're only in trouble if you get caught."
Ikuto was suddenly grabbed by Yuu, "Gottcha!" Yuu said smiling.
"I'm in trouble," Ikuto said.
"Now I'm going to-"
"Nya!" Yoru said pulling Yuu's hat over his eyes, "Ikuto!"
"Perfect timing Yoru," Ikuto said smirking, "Let's go."
"Gotta keep one jump ahead of the breadline," Ikuto said then stopped when Nagihiko and Kairi were in front of him with swords, "One swing ahead of the sword," Ikuto dodged their swings and ran past them, "I steal only what I can't afford…that's everything,"
Ikuto quickly character changed and jumped on an unfinished building with barrels on them, "One jump ahead of the lawmen that's all, and that's no joke," Ikuto smirked as Yuu, Nagihiko, and Kairi tried to climb up to them, "These guys don't appreciate I'm broke," he pushed the barrels off and they broke on top of the three guards soaking them in rum.
"Riffraff!" Yuu yelled.
"Street rat!" Nagihiko yelled.
"Scoundrel!" Kairi yelled.
Ikuto just smirked at them, but then suddenly hid behind a post of the building as several weapons were thrown at him, "Take that!" they yelled.
Ikuto smirked at them and held up the bread, "Just a little snack, guys," he said teasingly.
Suddenly, Yuu, Nagihiko, and Kairi started shaking the building trying to knock him down, "Rip him open, take it back, guys," they said in unison.
Ikuto was starting to get annoyed now, "I can take a hint, gotta face the facts you're my only friend, Yoru!" Ikuto jumped into an open window and saw that it was full off ladies.
"Who?" the women said in unison, "Oh it's sad Ikuto's hit the bottom he's become a one-man rise in crime."
Ikuto was smirking and suddenly the girls threw him into the headmistress, "I'd blame parents except he hasn't got 'em," the headmistress said swinging a broom at him.
Ikuto glared at the overweight woman, "Gotta eat to live, gotta steal to eat tell you all about it when I got the time!" Ikuto said giving the girls a playboy smirk before jumping out the window.
Ikuto skillfully landed on his feet only to have Yuu, Nagihiko, and Kairi running after him, "One jump ahead of the slowpokes, one skip ahead of my doom," Ikuto ran into the market place, "Next time gonna use a nom de plume," he muttered to himself.
Ikuto was slightly faster than the three guards and he was barefoot. Ikuto turned behind him and smirked, "One jump ahead of the hitmen, one hit ahead of the flock," Ikuto jumped over a flock of sheep while Yuu, Nagihiko, and Kairi had to walk through them slowing them down, "I think I'll take a stroll around the block," Ikuto said to the guards teasingly.
Ikuto ran through the market place, but then notice his chara missing. He looked around then quickly became annoyed when he found him, "Yoru!" Ikuto said grabbing his chara, who was trying to steal jewels, "Stop, thief! Vandal! Outrage! Scandal!" the people of the market place yelled.
Yoru's little side trip had caused Yuu, Nagihiko, and Kairi to catch up to him. Ikuto was backed into a door, "Let's not be too hasty…" Ikuto said.
Suddenly, the door opened and a very overweight lady with too much make-up on appeared. She grabbed Ikuto and held him like a baby, she was that big, "Still I think he's rather tasty," she said.
Ikuto sweat dropped and skillfully left the woman's arms and past Yuu, Nagihiko, and Kairi, "Gotta eat to live, gotta steal to eat otherwise we'd get along," Ikuto said smirking then ran.
"Wrong!" the three guards yelled and chased after him.
"One jump ahead of the hoofbeats," Ikuto continued running, but Yuu blocked his path.
"Vandal!" Yuu yelled.
"One hop ahead of the hump," Ikuto ran back the way he came, but found Nagihiko there.
"Street rat!" Nagihiko yelled.
"One trick ahead of disaster," Ikuto went towards an alley, but Kairi stopped him.
"Scoundrel!" Kairi said.
Ikuto smirked, "They're quick, but I'm much faster," he ran upstairs of a building and into a window as Yuu, Nagihiko, and Kairi chased him.
"Take that!" the three guards yelled and followed Ikuto into the building.
Ikuto was now bored with this. He quickly grabbed a towel, "Here goes, better throw my hand in wish me happy landin' all I gotta do is jump!" Ikuto jumped out the window letting the wind guide the towel.
Meanwhile, Yuu, Nagihiko, and Kairi fell out the window and gravity sent them into a cart of cow poop. Ikuto used the towel as a parachute and landed gently on the ground, "Well, that was fun," he stated and sat down on the ground.
He broke the bread in half and hand one to his chara, "Nya!" Yoru said.
Ikuto was about to eat his when he spotted two little kids digging for something in the trash. The kids spotted him and hid. Ikuto looked at his bread then at Yoru, "No way~ nya!" he yelled.
Ikuto glared at Yoru and he shank, "Um…never mind," Yoru said.
Ikuto stood up and both owner and chara went up to the little kids, "Here," Ikuto said to them handing them the bread, "Go on, take it."
The girl, who seemed to be the oldest, smiled and took the bread from Ikuto, "Thank you," she said.
"Here~ nya," Yoru said handing them his bread half.
The boy took it and petted Yoru. Yoru purred slightly then noticed Ikuto had left, "Ikuto~ nya!" Yoru yelled and flew towards his owner.
Ikuto managed to see over the crowd of people and saw a prince in glittery clothes and on a white horse, "That's Prince Suzuki Seiichiro," a man said bored.
"Another suitor for the princess," another said.
"Doesn't the king get that Princess Amu won't fall in love because the one she was supposed to died?" another said.
Ikuto was confused; the princess was supposed to fall in love with someone? Ikuto put his hands in his pants pockets and felt the key. He gripped it tightly. Suddenly, the little boy from before ran out into the streets, "Hikaru!" the girl yelled and managed to grabbed him before the horse stepped on him.
But the sudden appearance of kids scared the horse, "Worthless little brats!" the prince yelled and raised a whip.
Ikuto went wide eyed and quickly stood in front of the two kids blocking his face from the whip with his arm, "Hey!" Ikuto yelled glaring, "They're just little kids!"
Ikuto threw the whip back at the prince, "If this is how you act towards kids I'd love to see how Princess Amu takes to you!" he yelled.
There were people murmuring in agreement. The prince glared at Ikuto, "Out of my way boy," he said and pushed Ikuto into a mud puddle.
The prince continued on his way to the palace. People were now booing the prince, but he didn't take any mind. Ikuto glared then smirked, "Hey Yoru look," Ikuto said loud enough for everyone including the prince to hear, "It's not every day you see a horse with two rear ends."
The horse and the prince froze and glared at Ikuto who was smirking in the mud puddle, "You are a worthless Street rat," the prince said, "You were born a Street rat, you'll die a Street rat," with every word the prince continued on his way and Ikuto was getting madder, "And only your fleas will mourn you."
The doors to the Palace closed before Ikuto could beat the prince senseless, "I'm not worthless," Ikuto growled, "And I don't have fleas."
Ikuto stuck his hands in his pockets again and gripped the key in them tightly, "Come on Yoru," Ikuto said dejectedly, "Let's go home."
The sun was now set as Ikuto and his chara head back for the abandoned building they called home. Yoru looked at his owner. He knew the words had hurt him. He knew he wanted someone to love him because he never had anyone love him before, well, except for him. Even the people who had found him and raised him died when he was merely two years old, "Riffraff, street rat I don't buy that. If only they'd look closer," Ikuto said almost whispering, but Yoru caught it.
Ikuto and Yoru entered their "home" and Yoru went to egg, but didn't go inside, "Would they see a poor boy? No, siree. They'd find out there's so much more to me…" Ikuto finished his little song and sat in the hole in the building and stared at the city.
He took the key out of his pocket and looked at it sadly, "Ikuto…" Yoru said softly before entering his egg to get some sleep.
Ikuto just stared at the city and sighed before closing his eyes and slowly letting sleep consume him.
