Love Letter From Thief X: Just A Little Bit of Your Heart

Chapter 1: The Weird Day

        My name is Ariana Hanasaki, and I’m 22 years old. I just graduated from college, and I work as a curator at a well known museum. Only a few people know this, but I’m part of the Black Foxes. I was forced to join. In the beginning I didn’t wait to, but in the end… I’m glad I accepted. You see, what had happen was…

        Ariana was heading home, but was first checking the mail. “Bills, bills, bills. How great.” Ariana said. She noticed an unusual letter. “What the hell is this?” Ariana asked and opened it. ‘We’re coming to get you tonight.’ Says the letter. “A letter from the Black Foxes? I bet it’s a joke.” Ariana said and was heading to her apartment door.

         She opened the front door and instantly, someone put their hand over her mouth. She didn’t hesitate to bite the hand. “Ow!” The sniper, Kenshi screamed. “What do you think you’re doing breaking into my-“ Ariana said turning around and froze. She recognized that it was one of the guys she saw earlier in the day. “Ariana Hanasaki, you’ll have to come with us.” The leader, Riki said. “Oh yeah? What if I don’t?” Ariana asked. She felt like someone was pointing a gun at her back. “Of course you would threaten me.” Ariana said. “Shut up, idiot.” The hacker, Takuto said. “I don’t even know you. Who are all of you guys?” Ariana asked. “We said that we were coming to get you tonight.” Riki said. She instantly realized. “You’re… The Black Foxes?” Ariana asked. “That’s right. We are, and we need you to come with us.” Riki said. “Hold up! Why do you need me?” Ariana asked. “We need your fingerprints.” Riki said. “For what?” Ariana asked. “We understand that your grandfather was a worldwide famous artist. Some call him the Japanese Leonardo da Vinci.” The master of disguise, Hiro said. “What..? How..? How do you..?” Ariana asked. “We investigated.” Hiro said. “I’m still not going with you no matter what any of you say.” Ariana said. The gun got closer to her. “You might want to reconsider your decision.” Takuto said. “You know… You’re not scaring me one bit with that thing. Go ahead, shoot me.” Ariana said. “She’s got guts.” Kenshi said. “I’ll really shoot you.” Takuto said. “Ok.” Ariana answered. “No, don’t really shoot her. But you… Ariana Hanasaki… We need you.” Riki said. “No!” Ariana exclaimed. “We’ll tell you the full details if you come with us.” Riki said. “I said no!” Ariana exclaimed. They all sighed. “Stubborn girl.” Riki said and knocked her out.

         When she woke up, she was sitting on a chair while she saw five blurry figures facing her way. “W-What happened?” Ariana asked. She looked around her surroundings. “Where am I? And-“ Ariana said and looked at all the guys.”The hell? All of you took me here?” “How else would you have come here, stupid.” Takuto said. “You better watch what you say to me.” Ariana said. He glared at her. “Wow… She has the guts to talk back to Takkun.” Hiro said. ”Takkun? More like Taquito.” Ariana said. “Are you an idiot or what?” Takuto asked. “I don’t know, are you?” Ariana asked. He glared at her again. She rolled her eyes. “Alright, let’s get back on track.” Riki said. “Anyways… Why did you bring me here for?” Ariana asked. “We need your fingerprints.” He said. “Right… My fingerprints… What for?” Ariana asked. “Your grandfather’s painting.” Hiro said. “What? That he left something for me and it requires my fingerprints to reveal it or something?” Ariana asked. “Exactly.” Riki said. “Since you know our reasoning, you’re going to be part of the Black Foxes.” The boss, Atsumu said. “I don’t want to be a thief.” Ariana said. “We’re retrieving the paintings for a good cause. Those paintings were paid with dirty money. Forged.” Riki said. “Ok… But I’m not joining.” Ariana said. Takuto pointed a gun to her head. “Hey grumpy guy, can you like… Put that thing away?” Ariana asked. “No.” He answered. “Please Ariana?” Atsumu asked. She sighed and nodded.
