Street Life

Chapter 5

(Three days later)

Far, far away from the Hiwatari mansion, was a very run-down Japanese town. This town was known to be full of punks, criminals and street fights. Most people weren't stupid enough to live there, if they did, they were just passing by and would leave as soon as possible. Basically the dumps inhabitance was of nothing but people living on the streets.

In fact, in this town there was only one person who lived there. Don Gate and his little corner shop. He stayed in town for two reasons. The people that passed through usually needed supplies and had no choice but to come to him, making him quite rich The other reason was because no one dared steal from him.

Don was a massive lump of a man, made up of nothing but strong muscles all over his gorilla like body. The punks in this town would be crazy to steal from him, they would only get beaten to a pulp and Don knew this. To begin with, Don thought that his life was set, that no one would take his property. But he was wrong.

One person in the whole town dared to steal from Don Gate. And that was exactly what she, yes she was doing right now:

"HEY! GET BACK HERE RIGHT NOW, YOU THIEVING SCUMBALL!"

Alyssa, also known as Ali Cat, burst out of the doors of the corner shop with amazing speed. She carried three bulging bags at the same time, two under her arms and one on her back, stuffed full of food and medical supplies.

She listened as from behind her, a loud crash told her that Don was giving chase. She chuckled, she loved a good race.

She looked over her shoulder to smirk at the big buffoon behind her.

"YOU CAN'T RUN FROM ME THIS TIME, THIEF!" The ape man's face was going beetroot red.

"I believe that's what I'm doing, Asshole!" Alyssa yelled back.

Don snorted at the girl. He hated her with a vengeance. No other treated him the way she did and get away with it. And she got away with it every time.

No matter how hard he tried, when this girl stole from him, he could never catch her. She seemed to have inhuman speed and agility that out ran him every time.

'Well, time to lose this, idiot,' Alyssa thought to herself, 'I need to get back to the others'

She looked ahead of her and saw her getaway, immediately.

Just ahead, was a narrow alley way, one that she was very familiar with.

She boosted her speed a little more and dashed into the alley way. With out a second thought she jumped high onto the trash can she knew would be there. She then jumped again to land on the roof of the building that made up a side of the lane.

From her place on the roof, Alyssa watched as Don made his way into the alley, only to stop abruptly when he found no one in sight. She stifled a giggle as the gorilla looked in every direction, before growling loudly.

He threw his head up, making Alyssa duck out of sight, but she listened as the man yelled, "I WILL GET YOU ONE DAY, THIEF! MARK MY WORDS!"

Alyssa was now silently laughing as the large man left to go back to his abandoned shop.

"Sucker" Alyssa whispered to herself.

Once she was sure that the coast was clear, she silently made her way down from the roof.

'Time to go back to the others.' Her heart sunk a little as she remembered all the little kids she was going back too. Most of them starving, some of them quite ill.

It was them that Alyssa stole for. All the homeless young ones that couldn't take care of themselves like she could. She wasn't the only one who did this ether, there were a few teens that helped her by going to steal in other towns close by. None of them liked stealing, but it was the only way for them.

Alyssa sneaked through the by now, very well known town, like a shadow, no noise, hidden and unnoticed.

It didn't take long for her to reach the man-hole cover that would lead her down to the sewers and the hideout where the others were waiting for her.

She bent down and carefully and quietly lifted the heavy cover to reveal the hole below. She was about to go down when a sound reached her ears. A very rare sound. The sound of an engine.

In a flash, the quick girl was hiding in a nearby alley, waiting for the vehicle to go by so she could leave.

She was surprised as the rather nice car stopped right in front of the alley she was hiding in. Luckily, she was hidden by shadow and could see clearly as three men made their way out of the car. They walked to the boot of the car, opened it and reached inside. Alyssa watched as they brought out a reasonably large sack. Her brow furrowed in curiosity. She listened intently as they began to speak.

"So we just dump him here, right?" one said.

"Yes, no one should find him. And if they do, he will most probably be dead by then." another replied.

"Alright," said the last, "On the count of three, one, two, three!"

Alyssa had to flatten herself against the dirty wall as the sack went flying past her, only to land a couple of feet away.

She turned back to the men as they spoke again.

"Well, that's that, we should head back to Master Voltaire's mansion." the first said, brushing his hands off.

The other two nodded. All three got back into the car and drove off into the distance.

Alyssa waited a minute to see if they would come back, before moving her attention towards the sack.

'I wonder what that is? I gotta find out'

She put on a brave face and made her way towards it. As she got closer, she noticed that it was moving very slightly.

Once she reached it, she bent down to get closer. She examined it before finding the rope that held it closed.

She took a deep breath and undid the knot of the rope, letting the sack fall off what it was hiding.

She gasped loudly.

Before her was a two-toned blue haired boy, beaten badly and obviously unconscious. Her heart strings pulled horribly as she looked at him.

'Who is so evil to do such a thing?' she thought.

She then looked at the boy closer. He seemed to be about her age. She noticed that his hands and feet were bound, he was blindfolded and he had been gagged. She was surprised to see that he was still breathing, but barely.

She gently but quickly undid and took off the gag in the boys mouth and watched as he took long deep breaths, filling his lungs with oxygen that the gag hadn't allowed him to have.

She then moved onto his blindfold. Once that was gone, she could see his face clearly and felt a blush creep up her face. If there was no cuts on his face, he would be extremely handsome, heck, he was anyway.

She decided then and there to take the boy with her. She couldn't just leave him there and she had room for him back underground. Besides, the boy was homeless now, and she never left someone homeless behind.

As gently as she could, so not to aggravate the boy's wounds, she slung him over her shoulders. She wasn't sure how she would manage carrying him and the bags, but she was gonna try anyway.

Once she was ready, she made her way back to the man-hole cover to make her decent.

Woah, that was really long for one of my chappies!

Anyway, review for me, my readers!

Thanks, bye! Drentai Dragon
