The Wait [Open]

[Hitari Ishimada/Cloak]

It was a Monday, the third week of the month, and Hitari couldn't stand to sit outside the grocery store so early.

But there he sat, waiting impatiently outside the supermarket's door as he waited for them to open. Though Hitari hated sitting in public alone, he loved his mother too much to have her take the burden without him. Hitari was told to get his mother's medicine from the local supermarket, and that it was necessary.

Hitari sat, shaking constantly without a pause as he waited outside on a bench for the place to open. This was the second time this month his mother had came home sick from the emergency room, and he had to constantly tend to her side. Hitari was an impatient teenager when it came to surgery and hospitals. Though it wasn't the hospital he was afraid of, it was the thought of death that frightened him.

Twenty minutes passed as Hitari took a quick glimpse at his watch. It said 7:35am, and the morning sun crawled into the streets of Domino City. Hitari was supposed to be at school, but it was too late now because he decided to skip in order to take care of his mother. Many things was on Hitari's mind that day, but it was his main priority to tend to his mother's aid.

Raven walked by himself on the way to school "Son of a -" he said as he checked his pockets "This sucks.. no cash..." he empty out his pockets to fine not even a cent to his name.. "With ever freaking person that I rob in this city you would think I'd have some money..." he then noticed a kid standing infront of a supermarket.. he let out a smile "Wow, it's like he was placed right there for me.."

Raven put his head down as he speeded up his paste a bit, he crashed into the kid that stood infront of the grocery store "Ohh Sorry.. I wasn't looking where I was going..." he said shurgging himself out of the way..

It took less then a split second, a second that changed everything Raven had pickpockted the kid "haha sucker.." he said under his breath as he continued to walk towards school..

Hitari stood there, bored by the constant scene of cars, when he noticed another teenager walking towards him. He decided not to make eye contact, so he stood there without any sudden movement.

Then suddenly, the kid bumped into him. Hitari was the type to not take stuff like that so seriously. Instead, he brushed it off with a quick but silent "Sorry" as the kid whizzed past him. Hitari had heard him say something, but payed it no mind.

Several minutes later the store owner arrived. He opened the store about ten minutes later, and Hitari was joyful to finally step from outside. Mornings in Domino City was often cold, and Hitari hated cold weather. After reaching the medical station, Hitari reached in his pocket, but felt no money.

Suddenly, a shock of anger and confusion came over him. He had lost the money and his mother would be in pain all day. In spite of anger, Hitari bolted out of the store, running down the street with tears in his eyes. He knew he had to return home, but for now, decided not to.

Raven counted the money as he heard the loud opening of the door.. he suddenly stopped as he turned his head to the side and looked behind with the corner of his eyes.. "hmmm" he turned around a bit to notice the kid that he stold the money from earlier "Now's when noticed? why is he just standing over there? Just go home already stupid you lost your money and Im hungry.." said Raven as he was waiting for the kid to leave so he can go into the store and buy some snacks...

Hitari decided to return to the area of the door of the store after wiping the tears from his face. In any situation, Hitari thought of how brave his father was and what a wuss he was. Hitari never thought he could be like his father, and assumed he portrayed all the weaknesses of his family.

After scanning the area for the money, Hitari came to a conclusion that the money was gone. Anyone could have picked it up. With that thought, Hitari looked around as he continued to search for the lost money. Hitari continued down the street when he noticed the kid from earlier counting money.

He quickly jumped into an nearby alley, trying to hide himself from the boy. "So he was the one...." Hitari thought. He had knew the kid stole his money when he bumped into him. Even knowing so, Hitari knew he could never confront the boy. Hitari was the type to avoid violence. Suddenly, a thought overcame him. "But if I let out Cloak..." Hitari thought, but then disclosed the idea. "I can't, he is too much trouble..." Then suddenly, Hitari bolted off towards his house.

[Raku]

Raven noticed the kid how he started running.. "What's up with him?" he said raising an eyebrow.. he looks at the money and places it into his pocket.. he sighs a bit "somthing tells me im not going to school today.." he said running after the kid he stoled the money from..

when he finally caught up to him "Hey, Somthing's wrong?" he said with a smirk on his face.. "you look like your about to cry.. somebody stoled your walet or somthing?" said Raven in a sarcastic tone of voice..

Hitari continued to run home, with only the thought of anger in his mind. The more Hitari thought about it, the more he got angry. Hitari knew the more he got angry, the better chance He would come out.

Then suddenly Hitari was pulled to a halt by the kid he was running from. Hitari tried to shelter his tears by holding his head down, covering his face by his long bangs that was usually combed back. Hitari just stood frozen, without a word to say. All he could think of and mutter slowly out of his mouth was "How....could....you...". Slowly, repeatedly he spoke that, until he stopped.

Then he looked up and looked Raven dead in his eyes. A slight smirk came over his face. Brushing his bangs back with his hands, Hitari chuckled slowly as looked to the side of Raven. "No.....no one stole my money, they stole my dignity, and I'm here to take it back for the kid........" Hitari said deeply. Something had came over Hitari, and he wasn't his usually self.
