Kurumi Pov
I leave the room dressed and go to the living room where Ash is already waiting. Seeing me he walks towards me with an antique gun in his hands.
"Hold it is yours"
Ash says giving me the gun.
"This gun was one of the first prototypes of dust weapons,"
" It was developed even before the Great War ".
Listening to Ash's words I look at the gun in my hands.
"This gun after such a long time has no right to shoot."
' If it can't shoot why is he giving it to me ?'
" Kurumi you told me about your double aura it seems to me that the firing of this gun is not an accident ".
" Semblance awakenings in critical danger happen and this was such a coincidence."
" In my opinion you have two Semblance or your first was actually an undeveloped second ".
Listening to this seems logical however whether or not having two shambelance means I have two souls and what is my second shambelance supposed to do .
" You say you don't know how you shot then in my opinion you should try to do the same and just experiment."
"Finally me and my brother decided to train you and Neo,"
"After what happened you should know that even though you have powerful skills you can't use it to defend yourself."
"Your shambelance is great because it can be used in many ways, so I'll teach you how to use it, and I'll also teach you how to shoot a gun."
"Your body is not suitable for intense hand-to-hand combat, but you are agile and smart"
" And Neo will be taught by Copper knows capueire and other martial arts and even fencing I believe it will suit Neo style ."
" We are not great but it will give you the basics".
Ash says looking at me.
' It will indeed be the best choice for us '.
" Thank you"
I say to Ash when a rare smile appears on his face.
" You're welcome."
Our conversation is interrupted when Big papa enters the room.
" Gather up girls I'm moving."
Big papa says. Hearing this I make a hand emerge from my shadow grab the gun from my hands and return to the shadow.
' With my current amount of aura it is not a problem to carry this gun with me even for a whole day'.
Ready at last me and the mouse leave the pawn shop. Our first stop is Neo's old hideout. Her hideout is one of the open basements in an abandoned building. Despite the fact that she wasn't there for a while it looks like no one went in there inside was a dusty sleeping hammock and a few pairs of clothes in a bag next to it. However, Neo skipped the bag and walked over to one of the walls pulling out a brick with Lie behind it. She pulled out the lien and, taking nothing else, returned to the car.
' This must be her savings.'
I see that Neo is returning to the car so I look around her hiding place and follow her.
"Is that all? "
Big papa asks looking at our empty hands. Neo shrugs her shoulders tucking her lien into her pocket. Continuing the route this time to my hiding place.
" if you have problems come to us".
Says big papa when he stopped the cars in front of the clock store. We both nod and get out of the car. I watch big papa drive away in the car and turn towards Neo.
" follow me"
I say leading the pink mouse to the back of the store. Walking up to the overgrown wall, I pull out the cable.
' Luckily it's still here'
I think while surrounding my body with an aura and climbing up the cable. When the mouse did the same I hid the cable on the roof. Standing at the door leading down I notice a problem.
' It lost the key to the padlock'.
It's a good thing that the padlock is here it means that it's unlikely anyone went inside however I can't get in either.
'Well '
I think making a hand emerge from my shadow and catch the padlock followed by other hands catching the first one. All together they start pulling the padlock making it break. Now with my amount of aura I don't h ave to worry about the amount of cloned hands even with the gun hidden in my shadow.
With the entrance open I and Neo go inside a little dust has accumulated but it is fine.
' The little mouse likes it'
I think as I watch Neo go from room to room and it looks like she liked the music room. When Neo finishes looking at the rooms she comes to me with a face asking where should we sleep?
" That's not all."
I say simply when we go downstairs as usual it is dark but since I live here there is a flashlight or something lying at the entrance to this room that can illuminate this part of the building. As we go inside I light up the clocks in the room and go as Neo raises his eyebrows.
"Cool right ? "
I ask turning to her with a smile on my face. The red mouse snorts as I lead her to the basement. Going deeper and deeper the sight of the open bunker makes a strange expression appear on Neo's face then she looks at me with obvious anger.
" I'm sorry earlier even though we worked together with our trust was not the best".
" You had the same problem"
I say when Neo sighs she knows I'm right we didn't trust each other enough to show our hiding places.
I showed her around the bunker and checked to make sure everything was working. Then, in tandem with Neo, we cleaned up what had gotten dirty in my absence. And so began the time when we started living together with each other. A few days later big papa brought our new washed clothes. Then our stealing routine resumed, only this time we used three clones.
While the clones were stealing I would come to Asha who started teaching me about weapons, dust and crystals. Eventually he started teaching me how to shoot guns.
Neo began to learn fencing and hand-to-hand combat from Copper. Time began to pass and our routine remained the same, but the Vale became more and more dangerous.
People from the Spider Syndicate strangely disappeared but more and more people began to say they were planning something which made the Xiong family and other smaller gangs tense.
During this time we too had to slow down the situation in the city put the police on edge making it impossible for us to operate freely. During this time also came the birthday of my little pink mouse. I had no idea or money for a gift so we went simply for ice cream.
In the end, that's how the year passed I'm already ten years old and soon it will be Neo's eleventh birthday. However, the happiness didn't last long because on Neo's eleventh birthday it was officially about two years since she went missing the police announced the death of young Trivi Vanille. With a headline in the newspaper [ Young lady Vanille declared dead police promise to start investigation ].
And I didn't expect this news to hit her so hard the first time I saw Neo crying. I finally managed to calm her down however she didn't look too good at the time.
That wasn't all our problems though, our expenses were growing. The theft was enough for a good meal and with savings there was enough for cheap clothes. However, after so long people realized something was wrong and either didn't wear jewelry or were cautious eventually ended up catching a few clones.
Now we have to go to lunches at the pawn shop because we don't have any more money, but I don't want to dependent on pawn and cause problems. Finally, Neo and I came up with an idea. .
