Wondering Imp

[solia]

The market place is a boom with activity. Fat purse nobles walk to and from through out the center. Buying this and that as they walk along, hardly noticing anything shorter then they are, nor do they seem to care. Stores have their outside shops set up, people run to and fro. Special sales carts, outside vender's a plenty for this day in the city. High walls decorate the area and blocks out the sands that blow about beyond. The embassies in the distance, and the capital too.

But in the hustle and bustle, not a soul notices the small head that peaks around a corner at all the activity. The silver pig tails sticking out of a black hat with white accents slide forward just a small amount more to expose a pale white face and a pair of brown eyes, all connected to two completely covered hands, covered by a black really long sleeve shirt. The two eyes blink and the adorable head tilts to the side and then back straight up. Then the head pulls back. The little girl rolls up her sleeves and buttons them back into place, so she can really use those little nibble hands that were hidden. She brings her hands together...what she was taught. "Dog, Boar, Reverse Ram. Henge no jutsu."

The child transforms into a vender's daughter that she eyed that slipped away with a boyfriend. A young girl about 4'3" but obviously older. Tan skin and a bluish dress. She wonders over to him when he calls, unaware of the real girl's absence. "Yes Father."

"Good you came. Here", he crams a box into her hands, a box about 3 feet in size packed with some grapes. "Take these down to the distillery and be quick."

"Yes father", the substitute daughter starts in that direction and instead drops around a corner into an ally some 40 to 50 feet away. Hiding behind some boxes someone has set up. The fake has a seat and drops the jutsu to expose herself again.

With a grin, she has a seat with the box in front of her and opens it. "Yum, Grapes for breakfast." She digs in and starts eating. Of course she doesn't always get to eat, she will eat quite a bit to sustain her before abandoning it.

The little girl in black has wolfed down a majority of the grapes and gets up from the spot a little hazey. A small burp escapes her lips and a hand goes over her mouth. "Too much grapes...hic." The little one unbuttons the sleeves and lets them fall back over her hands. With a casual streech, she walks among the busy people and by a table. With the slide of hand, she takes a bottle of milk off of a table and keeps walking. No one even knows that it is missing. Several feet away, she opens it and proceeds to wash down the grapes with it. These losers are so easy. So easy I am bored.

As she strolls down the street, she takes a nobles watch with the same slide of hand and then a lady's anklet bracelet. Pretty. The items she keeps beneath the covered hands on her way to the lower districts here. The houses are closer together and creates an eerie dark feel to everything. A kid sits in a corner of an ally here. He is always here because he answers to a master type. He sucks at theft, so the little imp of a girl has decided that she would help him while she was here. As the boy sleep, she places the two swipped items on him. Then she strolls away back to the noble district.

The brown eyed kitten has a seat near an archway close by the Embassy and leans back to nap in the shade. Soon she shall move on, but she only travels the desert at night, maybe to get to River in the least travel possible.

The young orphan is asleep for a couple of hours before embassy police come around. With a kick to her side, though not overly ruff to hurt her, the imp comes awake. "Ouch ouch ouch ouch."

The two men are dressed in brown colored uniforms and seem quite ticked at her. An older man with a mustache speaks up, "Get up you little rat, you can't sleep here. Where is your parents, this is a negligence."

"Parents? I don't have any." The little girl in black looks up with a ticked off expression on her face. Her eyes are low as narrowed as she looks at the angry two. What right have they to do this to me, it isn't fare.

The younger of the two raises a hand as if to strike her. "You get that look off your face right now you like rat before I remove it for you." Not holding back, he actually brings the hand within an inch or two of her face to attempt a slap, but that is when the child reacts....

Sugizou
Rank: “C”
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: Creates an After Image of Self

Drawback: Can only be done ten times a day after learned due to abuse within Muscles, but each time trained one may do more and more. The user is only capable of making one at a time.
Description: The after image technique is the technique that allows the user to move side to side with extreme speed and toward a general direction creating an after image of the person. When learning this technique a person may only do Ten after images per day. If one wishes goes more then this number tissue has a chance to rip and tear. To be able to do more then ten per day one they must train for each again to create one more. This is the basis techniques for all techniques that may consist or deal with moves that deal with the After Image. This means that if a user wishes to know a technique that uses an after image they must have knowledge of this technique as well. Depending on how many after images a user uses within a technique is dependent on how many times this technique is known.
Limit: Universal Technique

The child seems to move without any physical movement. On millisecond she is there, about to be slapped senseless by the wicked guard. The next his hand passes through her body, not connecting at all. The child moved to the right swiftly, leaving an after image behind in the spot where she was. "YOU WERE GOING TO HIT ME!!!! ME!!!! HOW RUDE!!!!" The little girl shifts once again, using the same technique a second time, moving behind the two men by five feet. It is then that her eyes realize why they were so quick to want to move her. A shiny box in a cart with another guard that she didn't see and the two driving two horses pulling the cart. The shiny box is the size of a small jewelry box that is sitting on a box about her size. An object that seems important.

"Move the Brat", yells the one driving the cart. It is then that she is reached for by the two behind her. Again the girl moves using the technique before and all they grab is air. But this time, the child catapults herself up using the side steps on the cart. In the spin she makes yet another move in the air. A pair of kicks, one toward the two trying to use force on her, the second to make the two men in the cart move on a second jump.

Though the execution seems slow, the four men have had no training in dealing with such skills. But it is these skills that set this child apart from most and also these same skills that make her an effective thief. The four men scatter so aren't hurt. And upon landing, they brat of a kid lands on the edge of the back of the cart. As quick as she could muster, the thief grabs the silver box and quickly leaps down and runs away.

"NO, LORD HIBASHI'S PACKAGE!! STOP HER!!" The four rush after the child as she runs through the street and as far as they see, into the trade quarter.

The reality is that she has uses the Sugizou for the fourth time, moving to the left and into an ally. Though she has lost the four for the moment, she doesn't stop running yet. If they do grab her, the thief knows that she could lose a hand out of it for the deed she has done. Over all, this girl has over stayed her week long welcome here in this City. She makes her way, using the back ally path toward the gate leading out into the sands beyond.

It is luck that is on her side when she arrives there. Knowing the box to be a reflective thing, she slips the package into her sleeve and moves forward. A caravan is on it's way out of the city for their next stop. Where ever that stop is, she doesn't care. When the opportunity comes when they stop a moment before being waved through the gate, the girl child thief rolls under the middle wagon that has low wooden planks on the undercarriage for handles should the wagon need turning over. It is at one of these planks that she pulls back the hanging cloth and slided unto one of these wooded planks, then lets the curtain fall back. Strangely she exits the same way she came in, riding in secret on a caravan wagon.

The thief called Solia escapes with a gift for Lord Hibishi's wife. A diamond necklace.
