Yu snuck out of the house quitely and made his way to a small convenience store which was hard to find because he loved in a sprawling metropolis. It would be easier to board a hovertrain( this book does take place in a futuristic setting after all) but Yu chose to jog instead. He walked in and purchased some small candies which he presceded to chew as he leaned against an allyway wall. He was minding his own business when two people dressed in black cloaks and white face mask sauntered up to him.
"You'll give me whatever you have on you now!" Said the first thug as he drew a knife. The other thug moved on the other side of Yu to block of his escape. He also drew a long butcher knife.
"You really don't want to do this right now....I'm in a really good mood and you wouldn't want to mess that up would yo-" The knife thug interupted with a wide high slash as the lower thug did the same with a lower slash.
In response Yu did a horizontal side flip, going right between the blades. Once landed he punched the first thug in the chest, twisting his fist so that he multiplied the force. Not stopping to see what the result of his strike was he immediately executed a low sweeping kick taking out thug twos feet.
Suddenly Yu felt another prescense behind him. He spun deftly back around and rose from a low crouch, performing a jumping front kick that snapped the new thugs head back. The thugs rose and brushed themselves off. Moving back twords eachother.
" So you can fight? Said both thugs as they stood side by side.
"Try to keep up with this!" The thugs said symultaniously. The knife thug snapped his fingers suddenly and in response hundreds more of the thugs stepped out of the shadows, all dressed in black cloaks and white Kabuki mask.
Yu took one good look at his current situation and pouted."Awwww crap how am I supposed to do this alone!" It wasn't that he couldn't defeat them it was just that Yu was feeling pretty lady right now.
"Knowing you your probably feeling lady right now brother so.....I guess I'll have to step in." A figure said that stepped out of the shadows doning a orange jumpsuit jacket, white shorts and a certain silver belt that had a orange and silver x engraved on it. The belt hung half off the teens hips in only a style Yu knew someone would wear. The figures orange eyes glowed with intelligence and his white hair gliscened in the moonlight.
"Awww common Byakko, I haven't seen you in years yet this is how you greet me?" Yu asked as he tightned his green headband.
"Sure why not..." Byakko said in a non caring voice as he readjusted his belt. In a blur of motion faster than the eye could follow Byakko appeared in center of the clones beside Yu. The brothers stood back to back prepairing to fight.
"Let's see if your skills are still up to par mine!" Byakko teased with a small smile.
"Byakko, you'd be luck if you could keep up with me!" Yu retorted back in a joking manner.
"Brothers forever, united by battle and blood!" They shouted in unison as they dashed into battle.
