Hey guys! This is a new story i’ll probably be doing, if people seem to like this first chapter. Please give it a read, even just a skim read or something, and gove me some feedback! Anything!
——————————————————————————————–
Takeo and Kenji were brothers. Three years apart, they were very different, but the best of friends. They resided in Kerning City, and they were both thieves, each inheriting strange traits from their parents. Takeo, the older, quieter brother of the two, who was a real hit with the ladies, got the skill Dark Sight. And Kenji, the younger, loud and just-a-bit-crazy brother got Haste.
They were walking down one of Kerning City’s darker lanes…when they heard it. A muffled scream, further down the alley. The two boys sprinted down. Although still in their teens, they were regarded as some of the best thieves of their time. Then they stopped-and took in the scene before them.
A group of thieves were laying into a young man, and scrabbling upon the mesos spilling out of his pocket. Takeo drew his throwing stars from his pocket, and threw them at the man’s assailants. A couple went down, then sprang away, up the walls of the buildings surrounding them. At the same time Kenji slashed another of the men in the back, and he fell to the ground, not even making a sound.
The man got up, looked warily at the pair of boys and ran away. Takeo sighed. The man had nothing to fear. And that was when a girl behind him materialised out of mid-air!
She can use Dark Sight, just like my brother can thought Kenji, just as the girl behind his brother made to stab him in the back with dagger. But Takeo was no longer there. He was behind the girl and quickly thrust his star into her back! As she fell down limply, he caught her in his arms. And his breath caught in his throat.
She’s beautiful thought Takeo. He gazed into her face, her closed eyelids, her hair over her forehead and her shallow breathing each time he felt her chest rise and fall.
“We have to get her back home” said Takeo, glancing at Kenji, who was watching the mysterious girl, clearly thinking the same thing about the girl as his brother.

Back at home, the girl slowly came back into consciousness, and was staring into a pair of deep brown eyes looking anxious and a mop of black hair. She sat up, and Takeo moved backwards. Pain shot through her spine, it was like it was on fire! She gasped in agony, and Takeo grabbed her hands to steady her, but she shrugged him away. She realised now that he was the boy she had been about to kill. How had he managed to subdue her? She was Kaede, the girl thief, tall, lithe and strong like a cat. Nothing was meant to stop her!
“I have to treat your wound,” spoke the boy. “What is your name?” he asked.
“Kaede” she spoke softly. “And yours?”
“My name is Takeo. Please, just sit up so i can treat your wound.”
Kaede sat up slowly, ignoring the pain in her back. She felt Takeo untie the back of her blouse, and his hands rubbing an ointment into her wound. It stung, but stopped the burning sensation. Takeo spun around to face her again, his eyes staring deep into hers. “I can look after you now” he said. I will not have some boy stand here and tell me he will look after me! I need no-one to look after me! Kaede stood. “I do not need your help! I can manage on my own!” She staggered a little as she said this, and Takeo couldn’t help but smile. He was falling even more in love with her.
Outside, Kenji was fuming. His brother always got the girl, while he tagged along for the few months they were together, like a third wheel. In the room next to him was the most beautiful girl he had ever, and possibly would ever see in his life, and Takeo was already alone with her. Kenji was usually a happy-go-lucky sort of kid, always wearing a smile. But when he got mad-he got really mad. His fiery red hair, completely unlike his brother’s, represented his nature perfectly. It must have been fate, playing tricks again.

And at that moment, the door to their apartment busted open, and an ominous figure stood in the doorway, a black pirate hat tweaked on his head. He was flanked by many other thieves, all looking menacing. “I have come to collect my guild member” spoke the man, in deep tones. “And if you hesitate in handing her over, i’ll just have to kill you…”
