"So, you're Akefia, the thief king, right?" "What? How did you know that?!" Akefia cried out. Ember just gave him a smug look, and started walking away. The whitennette raced after her, eager to figure out how she knew his name. The fire-haired girl looked back, and when she saw him running, she took off, hoping for an enjoyable game. She soon ended up in a part of the city that she didn't fully recognize. The girl looked around her, looking for the teen with the scar. He had seemingly disappeared, so she took a moment to assess her surroundings. She saw multiple signs, but only one caught her eye. The shop was labeled 'Kame Game Shop'.
Ember entered the shop, and looked around. She saw an old man dozing off at the counter. She could've sworn that she felt something different about the shop. The girl looked down to find that the Locket was glowing softly, and it illuminated the room. She turned around, and when the Locket glowed the brightest, Ember walked in that direction, and padded softly up the stairs. She looked around the upstairs hallway, and after checking each room, she found herself in the bedroom of a small boy. Ember saw a soft glow from around his neck, and realized that he also had a Millennium Item. She walked over, and gently took it from around the small boy's neck. On closer examination, she realized that it was the Millennium Puzzle.
"And just what would you be doing in my hikari's room?" Ember heard a deep voice whisper from the doorway. She whipped around, Puzzle still in hand, and stared him down. When the girl realized that he wasn't intimidated, she turned and jumped the second story window. Ember landed gracefully, and took off. She saw Akefia and grabbed him, ordering him to run with her. He didn't question her the second he saw the Puzzle in her hand. They raced down alleyway after alleyway until they were certain they had lost the male that had almost caught Ember.
"Okay, who were those people?" Ember was curious because Akefia seemed to know them. "The midget that I assume slept through the entire thing is named Yugi, and the one chasing us, the pharaoh I was talking about earlier, is named Yami." The red-eyed girl burst out laughing. She was at the point of hysterics. When she finally calmed down, Akefia asked her why she had been laughing so hard. "Ha, I just find it rather funny that I just meet you all today, and I manage to accomplish what you claim to have been attempting to do for three thousand years." "Well, I guess I just didn't think that it was the brightest idea to jump from the second story window."
Ember supposed his excuse was valid. Most people couldn't jump from the second story window of a building without breaking a leg. She remembered something about the thief mentioning something earlier about having accomplices. "So, would you mind taking me to see your friends?" "I guess not. Some of them can be a bit hostile, so watch your back." "Oh, I won't need to worry about that." Ember smirked. She could handle anyone. Of that she was certain. Akefia was skeptical about her confidence, but he let it slide.
