"Through here, Dragon, I think I hear him flapping!"
Shrouded in darkness, the pair of detectives would ascend the abandoned building with swiftness. They'd been on the trail for two days now, a mysterious thief stealing silver, gold, and jewels from the local aristocracy, prompting them to seek out assistance from the shinobi of the village. The profile was always the same, shining trinkets of gold or silver often encrusted with precious stones, all liberated in the dead of night. The criminal had displayed capable stealth skill and would invariably leave a single calling card at the scene of each theft: a twelve-inch long black feather. Of course, Kirei was beginning to learn that criminals were nothing if not prone to theatrics. In addition, the allusion to the recent Yatagarasu murders would keep many of the local police from expressing a willingness to get involved. Kirei and Di knew better, they too had studied the killings and were working on a solution, but had yet to make a significant breakthrough.
For nearly a week now, Kirei had stalked the night with his new partner, Di. The two had met by chance but wound up as unlikely allies. Without wanting to be seen on patrol without taking official patrols from the village, the Uchiha had adopted a new masked persona for use on these excursions. The Hound, as Kirei was now known, would fly through the flights of stairs, hopping rails as he went. Sharingan shining bright red through the eyes of his pitch-black jackal mask which flowed seamlessly into the dark folds of his long cloak. Di would be familiar with this guise by now, Kirei had even spent several grueling hours on the design of his new identity which, truth be told, he was immensely proud of.
It had been a simple sting operation; the pair produced a high-quality replica of one of Kirigakure's most treasured royal scepters from the Daimyo's lineage. As expected, the malevolent thief had gone straight for the bait, swooping in to steal away the artifact before being caught red-handed by the Dragon and the Dog. The ensuing chase led them across the rooftops and eventually along the river-banks just outside the city. It was only minutes ago they'd circled back within the city limits and chased the suspect into a desolate building which once housed Kirigakure's parole offices; no longer needed in the Age of Solstice. These abandoned buildings were a common hide-out for the Mist's criminals who lurked in its darkest places, Kirei felt as if he were seeing a lot of them these days.
"Dragon! Go up and cut him off on the roof, I can't catch him on foot!" Kirei would shout as his shoulder collided with the door to a long hallway. The black feathers of the thief's costume left enough of a trail for Kirei to follow as he whipped through the gutted skeleton of the building in hot pursuit. Whoever this man was, quickness was his greatest asset.
