8 year old, Azuka Limgard sits at a bank of the town river, laughing hysterically. "I really got him! I really got him!" Azuka had returned from what he calls a heist. "Master will be so proud of me, this is my biggest heist ever! 500 CELS!" Azuka lifts up the bag of money he had beside him into the air. He swings it around, left and right, left and right, until....BAM! Azuka freezes realizing that he had just hit someone.
*Sniff* *Sniff*
"I-I-I-I can't believe you hit me!" The person starts bawling their eyes out. Azuka puts down the bag of money and gets up to comfort the person. A girl, he thought, how do I comfort girls again? Master always said to respect woman and if one is crying in front of me, to comfort her!
Azuka walks closer to the girl and stretches his hand for hers. He was taller than her by a bit. "Hey girl, I didn't mean to hit you are you alrig-" CLINK! Before Azuka could realize what happened, he felt a tense pain coming from his crotch area. In which he quickly covers with his hands. "First you beat me, then you try to harass me." Azuka who was agonizing in pain looked at her with a death stare. "I didn't beat you or harass you, that was all on accident. I didn't even notice you there, you're too short for me to notice!"
The girl becomes annoyed and veins become visible from her forehead. "I am not short, I am average! What were you doing here anyway?" Azuka looks away from her and directs his attention to the bag of cels. "Well.." The girl notices that Azuka had looked away and begun to search for what he was looking at. "What's in that bag?" Azuka scurries over to grab the bag and hide it with his body. "You see, it's nothing special." The girl who was buying it looked even more angry than before. "What are you doing here," Azuka asks. The girl became flustered, "Well, I've run away."
Time passes, Azuka and the girl continue to sit by the bank of the river. "I can't believe you're the Mayor's daughter! You must have so much money!" Azuka says with money only in his eyes. "It's not all that great, there is always annoying people around me all day, I can't spend any time with daddy and- never mind." The girl completely changes her mood from slightly mad to completely upset. "Besides, no one wants to be friends with a girl like me." I feel sorry for her, Azuka thought, maybe the rich life really isn't all that great. Azuka gets up from where he sat, and appears in front of her. "I can be your friend."
"Really!" the girl says elated, "Yeah of course." Azuka says smiling and holding his hand out for the girl to grab. The girl looked at him, up and down, he's kind of cute she thought and grabbed his hand. Azuka helped her up as he did she asked, "What's your name?" "Azuka and yours?" The girl hesitates, "My name is-"
-Present Day-
"EMILY!" Azuka screams as he runs out of the station rushing towards Emily. Attempting to hug her, Azuka jumps at Emily, "Emily!" Emily winds up a slap to stop Azuka, but hesitates and allows him to hug her and she hugs him back. After a moment of hugging she pushes him off of her, "You idiot, how have you not gotten rid of that stealing habit!" Azuka puts his hands at the back of his head. "Sorry, but I just can't help it." Emily brushes off her dress and begins walking back to her car. Azuka watches as she walks away, there she goes off again, away from me and back to that rich life. Azuka begins walking away when, "Hey Azuka, you're sleeping at my house tonight."
Azuka runs up to emily at his top speed, "Really!" Emily smiles, "Yeah, I can't have you sleeping in some shabby shack or outside the day before you become a God." Azuka does not hesitate to go inside the car when he realizes, "Doesn't your father hate me? How would he react to me sleeping at your house tonight?" Emily picks up a tea cup sitting besides her and beings sipping and stops. "Driver please commence the drive back home," the driver who was staring at Azuka through the rearview mirror says, "Right away miss," and adjusted the mirror and started driving.
"Azuka, my father will not react to you, because you will be sleeping in my room." Azuka completely surprised gains a shocked face while Emily takes another sip out of her tea. "I'll tell you the plan, it is completely full proof," Emily says with a confident smile and tone. Whenever she makes a plan it usually involves me using one of the many rumored skills that I 'have', Azuka thought. "The plan is simple, as soon as we are at the estate, we will sneak you out of the car and into the house. Following that you will run with your thief speed and invisibility right into my room and hide under my bed until I come into the room and say the magic words of Acrabadabra." Emily throws up a thumbs up, "Amazing plan is it not?"
- A few Hours Later -
Emily sits down on her bed contemplating to herself, he should have been here by now. As she says this she hears a knock at her window, she rushes over to it and opens it. As fast as cat trying to get out of water, Azuka rushes into her room. His clothes being completely ripped up and wet, his faced bleeding and scratched up. "Close that damn window!" Azuka was completely out of breath. "What happened Azuka, all you had to do was follow my plan!" Azuka who could barely speak managed to get a sentence out. "I did....I got to your room...but you..had one flaw in your plans." Emily confused tilted her head, "What might that be?"
"Your door was LOCKED!" Emily intervened, "Don't you have lock picks, isn't that one of the many tools of a thief?" Azuka became angry, "I didn't have any of my tools since you picked me up right from the station! After I found out your door was locked, I had to find a bootleg lock pick. OOPS turns out I don't have invisibility, so of course someone saw me and called your dogs on me. I was of course at the end of a hallway with no exit so I had to jump out of the window, I somehow landed in the pond, but I was now on the complete opposite side of your room! I then had to run completely around the house multiple times because I forgot which window was yours, not only that, I was chased by the dogs, beat by undressing ladies who all had hot water on them somehow. And-"
Emily began to look like she was about to cry so Azuka stopped and tried to comfort her, by going for a hug. He almost succeeded but he was slapped by Emily, "Don't try to hug me with your bloody face." Emily then puts both of her hands on opposite sides of Azuka's face, they soon begin to glow. "You're lucky I learned healing magic, I can't repair your clothing and I don't have any spare clothing for you." After finishing with the healing, Azuka took off his tattered shirt and reveals to Emily his lean and fit body. "You still haven't gotten a six pack yet?" Emily says as she touches up and down his abs.
"Shut up." Azuka says embarrassed, after she is done inspecting she takes off to her closet which was another room in itself. "Azuka, turn around" Azuka turns around without thinking twice. His mind wasn't on how or what she will come out looking like. He was mostly thinking about how this is the first time he has been in a girl's room before. Before he could finish the thought, he felt pure bare skin on his back, "Emily what are you doing," as she does this he slowly turns around, "Don't turn around I said!" Emily embraces Azuka tightly and Azuka quickly turns back around.
"Azuka, remember the promise we made as children? That one day you will get me out of this rich life, so I can have as many friends as I want." Azuka nods. "Please forget about that promise and make a new one for me." Azuka remains silent. "Promise me that you won't be like everyone else! When people become Gods, they change for the worse instead of the better! Please promise me that you will become better instead of worse." Azuka tried to think back to when David had said the same words as her. Did she- the thought was stopped when Emily screamed, "Promise me Azuka!" Azuka gulps.
"I promise."
