The dark abyss of the night engulfed Yamada as he stood in front of the house. HE looked down at himself, seeing the full black attire, with a ski mask to go with it. "Am I really going to do this?" Yamada was tight on cash and he needed to make it fast. Working under the restrictions of the law just werent going to cut it anymore, he needed to commit some crime to start the flow of money. He looked at the house, the lights were off and everything was quiet. It was the witching hour, midnight. What better time to strike.

Yamada felt into his pocket, making sure that the ultra concentrated sleeping pill was still there. Good, it was nestled nicely in the corner of his pocket, waiting for when he needed it. He was really going to do this. Yamada was going to break into the home of an innocent family and steal their child away from them. He would demand cash for the child's safe return, and threaten death if the ransom wasnt payed up. The question lingered in Yamada's mind. Would he actually kill an innocent child if his parents failed to pay up? Yamada pushed the thought to the back of his mind, he would deal with the problem when it arose.

Yamada scanned the house for points of entry, places that he could get into the house without making too much of a racket. Open windows, unlocked doors, those kind of things. He sent a few bugs to go and do a little recon, saving himself the effort. As he waited for the feedback, Yamada ran over the plan in his head. Get into the house, find the little boy, sedate him with the pill and get out. He would be sure to leave a note behind demanding the ransom.

Yamada's bugs returned, with nothing important to note. The family was thorough in making sure that their house was safe from burglars. Yamada chuckled to himself. They didnt take into account that a rogue shinobi would be breaking into their house, and getting in served no real challenge for Yamada. He quietly slid a small piece of paper underneath the crack in the door, so that it rest on the other side, and initiated the replacement jutsu. Great, he was in. Silently as well. Breaking into a civilian's house was not hard at all, Yamada smirked, crime was so easy.

Yamada tiptoed around the house, making extra care not to make any noise at all. Of course, being a shinobi, this was something that he tended to be good at, so it didnt pose much of a challenge to Yamada. The real challenge would be finding the boy. He would have to check every room until he found the one that the boy would be sleeping in. Yamada would have to be extremely careful not to wake the occupants of any room that he entered, stealth would be key to completing a swift and easy kidnapping.

Yamada reached the first door in a line of 3 in a corridor. Lucky dip, Yamada gently opened the door, peeking inside and hoping that he would see a little boy, fast asleep. Unfortunately his hopes were not fulfilled. Yamada jerked back slightly, he looked at a man and a woman, lying in bed, thankfully deep in sleep. Yamada thought to himself, as he gently shut the door. These were the parents. These were the parents of the young boy that he was about to kidnap. Their world would be turned on its head come morning when they found their child missing, and a note demanding ransom.

Another door, the second out of three. Yamada slowly pushed the door opened, surprised as light shone out. He quickly drew his Kunai without a second thought, ready to deal with anyone who saw him in the house. He peeked his head around the corner of the door, and relaxed a little. It was a night light. A night light for the little boy that he was about to abduct. It was funny, Yamada thought to himself, Funny how ready he was to kill. Ready to kill for the sake of money. Ready to kill indiscriminately to achieve his goals. Yamada never really thought about himself, but he was starting to realize the kind of person he really was.

Yamada slowly and gently crept to the boys bed, being careful not to wake him up. He reached into his pocket and pulled out the capsule of sleeping powder, getting ready to administer it to the young boy. His eyes shot open, the boy awoke from his sleep and saw a strange man, dressed in black, creeping around his room. He opened his mouth to scream, but Yamada was too fast. He jumped and covered the little boy's mouth, cramming the pill down his throat. The boy's eyelid's flickered and his world started to fade. "Shhh, sleep little boy, sleep"

The drop off point. Yamada stood there wearing a mask, concealing his identity. He had the boy, with his hands and feet bound and a sack on his head. He was knelt down in the execution position, a gag in his mouth. Yamada did not intend to kill the boy, but he hoped that the manner in which he was held captive would strike some fear into the parent's heart. Of course, if it came to it, Yamada decided that he would kill the boy, and then kill his parents and take the cash. He was going all out. He was becoming a true villain.

The parents stood about 100 meters away from Yamada, a suitcase full of cash next to them, the mother was bawling, the father had a serious, but concerned look on his face. Yamada drew a kunai from his belt and holding it to the boy's neck.

"I hope you've realised by now that I am not messing around. Hand over the cash or the brat gets it"

Not long after Yamada finished his sentence, a man jumped out of the bushes, kicking the Kunai out of his hand and grabbing the child, running with him towards the parents.

"I have your child guys! Dont worry! Just be sure that I get the cash by-"

Yamada didnt give the man the luxury of finishing his sentence, launching a kunai at him and embedding it deep into his head, Killing him quickly.

"Any more funny business and I kill the child, then I kill you and TAKE the cash"

The parents slowly walked over to Yamada, handing over the suitcase full of money, before taking the boy. THey wept over him as the freed him from his binds and took the sack off of his head. Yamada slipped away slowly.

A mercenary tailed behind Yamada slowly. Yamada decided not to kill him, he didnt need bounty of his head. Instead he chose to initiate his blinding jutsu, and slip away swiftly.
