Dark Thriver

Chapter 1 - Reject

"Get outta my store!" yelled out a man as he kicked out a boy in a hood from his store with a "Lefino Restaurant" sign above the door. "It's not my fault I can't cook!!" yelled out the boy in frustration. "Annoying old man..." he mumbled as he began walking with his hands Inside his pockets. "I'm what they call a reject in this town...People really don't like looking my way." thought the boy as he looked around slowly.

"Is that him again?"

"Yes! It is."

"Didn't he get kicked out of the village?"

"I wish he wouldn't be here..."

"They keep whispering behind my back, thinking I can't hear or see them. It's kinda depressing." he thought as he stopped walking suddenly. "Lookie here..." thought the boy as he averted his eyes, pointing then towards someone sneaking quietly on a roof. "I almost didn't notice you there...But I did! Let's go." muttered the boy as he sunk into a dark alley quietly.

"Bah! That was easy...! This is the jackpot! The guys are gonna like this!" thought the man as he continued creeping, not being noticed. As he continued walking on top of the roof, he looks around, noticing something in the corner of his eye, scaring him. "What...?" he thought as he looked that way, finding nothing. "That scared me...I thought someone saw me--" the man said as he turned his head around, seeing the boy, within a finger's length. "Hello there, friend." said the boy, scaring the man, causing him to jump back. "How did you..." "sneak around me? Easily. Your presence is pathetically obvious. On top of that, walking on the ROOF of a house after stealing? You're really not good at this." explained the boy. "Ah, right...Move!" yelled the man, pushing the boy aside and began running. "Ah...That's entertaining!" said the boy, getting the man worried.

As the thief ran on the roof, jumping towards another, he grinned at himself in an overly happy smile. As the man jumps down after jumping over several roofs, he hides in an alley. "That kid scared me for a second...But I shook him off, at least!" said the man to himself as he began to laugh. "I scared you? I'm sorry! I didn't mean to, sir!" said the boy in an innocent tone. "What the hel--?!" Before the man could finish, the boy raised his hand, holding the bag the man was holding. "When did you..." "take my bag? How dare you even ask, sir? You should really be more careful with the things you steal!" said the boy, continuing with the innocent, oblivious tone. "Who are you...?" asked the man in a worry. "Me? Let's see how famous I am!" said the boy, throwing the fake tone away, removing his hood. "You're..." "Yeeeees?" the boy interrupted in excitement. "That Japanese reject that can't even use magic! That Riku kid, right?!" asked the man. "Sheesh! Why so harsh with me, sir?" asked Riku. "I might have to report you...Now get out of here, sir!" said Riku with a happy smile. The man gasps, getting up, and running out of the alley.

"Okay then! Let's see what you were so happy about, sir..." said Riku as he shoved his hand into the bag. "This feels a little...weird?" thought Riku as he grabbed something, pulling it out. "This guy..." he said as he found himself holding black women's underwear. As Riku looks annoyed, he looks deeper into the bag, finding multiple sets of bras and underwear, apparently from different women. "Such a waste...I was gonna give it back anyway, but this guy wasted this much effort to get THIS?!" said Riku as he put the underwear back inside, wrapping it around tightly. As he exits the alley, about to return the bag, he gets called out. "Riku! Come out of the alley with you hands above tour head!" said a voice Riku recognized. "That guy reported ME?" thought Riku as he raised his hands, fully coming out of the alley, to be greeted with policemen. Three of them. A lanky, tall one. A chubby, muscly one. And an obese one with a bad attitude. "Look here! The amazing trio, eh?" asked Riku with his hands up. "Kid...Why again?" asked one of the policemen. "Look, I have an explanation here--" "Like hell you do! You scummy reject!" yelled one of them, putting a sad expression on Riku's face. "Here. You wouldn't believe, even if I explained." said Riku as he threw the bag full of underwear to the men. "You're surrendering this time?" asked the most well-mannered one of the policemen. "No. Sorry." said Riku, climbing onto the roof of the nearest building quickly. "Goodbye, gentlemen!" yelled out Riku as he escaped by running from roof from roof. "Get back he--Damn it!" said one of the policemen. "We'll get 'im next time!" said another one, beginning to walk off.
