How They meet...

A thief runs by, and steals her weapon, which has been in the family since along time, and she tries to get help, yelling, "Someone, Help me! Ive been stolen from!"

I'm walking down the street, getting a break from watching the Chunin Exams, when I hear this girl yelling.

Normally, I would keep walking, but maybe something valuable was stolen, something that i could use. I walked over to her. "Are you okay? What happened?" I said in my nicest voice.

"My weapon, its been stolen by a thief, Its Extremely Rare, and Worth alot, i can give a bit of Ryo, if you help me find it!" She says, With a few tears coming out.

"We can worry about payment later. Which way did he run off to?" This weapon had peaked my interest. I already had my daggers, but maybe I could sell this weapon for a good price.

"he ran that way!" She pointed towards an alley, then said, "I am Coming with you!"

Dammit. It'll be harder to take this item if she's following me. It'll look suspicious if I don't let her follow.

"Alright. Let's go get your weapon back." I head off in the direction she pointed to, with her following me.

"What is your name?" She asks, wondering, but Curious.

I hesitated telling her my name. After a couple moments, I guessed it couldn't hurt. "Ryouma."

I used my instincts as a thief myself to try and track down this thief.

"My name, is Zialni Surgo, that is all im willing to say for now." She said, following him.

"That's all you need to tell me." By knowing her name, it made it trickier to steal from her. A thief never wants to know his targets.

After several more minutes of searching, we arrive at the thief's hiding spot.

"Do you want me to stay out here?" she asked.

Perfect! I can steal it easier if she's not there.

"It would be best since you don't have a weapon. Don't want you getting hurt. Just tell me what I'm looking for."

"A bow, with Certain markings on it..." She said, Worried, then said, "If you steal it, i will kill you, with my bare hands!"

I point at my daggers. "I already have a pair of daggers. I don't need a bow. I don't even know how to use 1. Don't worry, I'll get your bow back."

I entered the thief's hiding spot and confronted him about the bow. I was ready to kill him to get that bow to sell.

She snuck in behind him, and layed back in a corner, and the Other thief said, "Try me, ill beat you senseless."

I just laughed as I drew both my daggers. "Just try and beat me. You'll be dead before you get the chance."

The thief rushes at me with his own knife. I stab him twice in the gut, but he cut my arm with his knife. "That was no fun. He died too quickly."

I sheathed my daggers and walked over to retrieve the bow.

Another thief Jumped Ryo, Without him knowing, and Zia, ran out and Charged at the guy.

Seriously?! Another thief? Dammit, no time to react. I was ready to take the attack, but the girl rushed at the guy. She must have snuck in behind me.

She Smashes the theif in the face, before getting up and staring him in the face. "Miss me?" she says, grabbing her own bow.

"Thanks for the help, but I could have handled that myself."

My eyes drifted to the bow in her hands. "Good to see you got your bow back."

Dammit! I missed my chance! I'd rather not hurt her, but that bow must be incredibly valuable. I clenched my hand into a fist, trying to decide my next move.

She said, "Calm down, i see your fist." She say

"Oh, right." I unclenched my fist. "Sorry, just a bit ticked off that second thief was such a coward."

I wanted that bow, but what could I do? I looked at her face for a moment.

She had a look, a look of, I know your a thief, Only A theif would figure this out... "Do you have a place to stay?"

"A place to stay? I sleep on the streets. I couldn't afford a room here." I thought she might be on to me. I turned away from her.

"I have a room, why don't you come, and stay the night, you helped me!" She said/
