Urarakas POV

I bolted in the direction I had come, running faster than I had ever run in my life.

Toga's POV

Blood dripped from multiple wounds but still I jumped from tree to tree, knowing that if I got caught, it would be the end of my short miserable life. I heard the sound of footsteps below me, and shouting. I paused for a moment, hoping that they wouldn't look up and spot me. I caught the sight of an unfamiliar person with their hands over their mouth hiding behind the tree next to the one I was perched in, they looked terrified and I realized that they weren't wearing a uniform like the idiots chasing me.

I was so captivated by their beauty that I didn't realize the coast was clear until the mysterious person darted away. Shaking my head to clear it, I swung down from the tree and ran the opposite direction, back towards my hideout.

Urarakas POV

When I got back to the castle, the rope that I'd left hanging out my window was gone, leaving me with no way back up to my room without being seen. I groaned, walking towards the front gate, where four guards were stationed. I snapped my fingers and the closest one to me was suddenly at my side, escorting me back inside. When we were out of earshot I nodded to the guard, "iida."

He gave me a quick smile, "highness."

"Please, call me Uraraka."

Togas POV

I slowed to a walk as I saw the familiar brook that connected to a small pond near my hideout. I smiled, the brook was always a peaceful place, with the gurgling water, and the noisy crickets. I neared the small cabin hidden in the trees, and swung myself up, climbing the branches until I reached the wooden doorway. I felt for the gold key hanging around my neck, relieved to know that it was still there. I turned the key in the handle and the door swung open.

The house was one room and normally entirely bare, except for a soft brown rug, spread out across the floor. Shiggy sat on the rug, papers stacked in neat piles around him. He seemed to be in deep concentration and startled when he noticed me. "Good to see your back, Mina was starting to worry," he said and I could tell that Mina wasn't the only one that was worried.

I nodded, "Sorry I was gone for so long."

"Did you get anything useful?" he asked, and I rolled my eyes, he'd asked me that ever since I accidentally stole a ring that had looked like a real diamond, but turned out to be fake, and completely worthless.

"Yeah, the market had a lot of acceptable stuff this week," I replied thinking about all the yummy smells that had intruded my senses.

He smiled, "I'll have Sero set up a booth in the next town tomorrow."

Sero was the only one of us that stayed hidden, since he was the only one not known for stealing. He had also earned the trust of many wealthy people throughout the land and got us into fancy parties for free, resulting in us easily being able to rob people present. I heard a shriek come from below and Shiggy groaned, "you better go down there before she tears the whole place to shreds."

I nodded, tapping on the wall twice then saying, "pomegranate."

"Welcome Toga," rang the robotic voice of our system, and part of the floor moved, revealing stairs leading to a secret floor.
