PART ONE: The Eye

     Fire's moved with deliberate calculating steps. 'Come on
Girl' she though 'Hmmm, pressure plate there' Her body moved in
tune with her instincts and she leapt to the ceiling, using her
climbing claws to hold on. 'It's been way to long'
     She was in a thoughtful mode and slowly climbing across the
wall to avoid the traps, allowed her to think for herself. 'I
guess Kitsune was right. I'm a natural born thief. I love the
suspense, the action. If I just didn't care about hurting
people...' She stopped mid though as a gem sparkled in the
moonlight.
     Actually it was more like three gem, a diamond the size of a
baseball, surrounding a golf-ball sized emerald, and a black onyx
pebble in the center. It's multi faceted nature gave it the
appearance of an eye and the multiple gems involved we the focus
of great magic. Emerald, onyx, and diamond allowed multiple magic
in one item. 'Now if only they could make a ring out of it.'
     Fire leaped to the ground, landing softly as a whisper, as
she reached for the gem, a tingle rand through her hand, and a
shiver went down her spine. Before she could even form the words
to swear with, her instincts kicked in, leaping into a pack flip
just as the magic missile smashed into the ground where she had
been.
     She leaped and doged her way out of the paths of a battery
of several dozen magic missiles. And just as she thought it was
safe, a wall of flame appeared in front of her. 'It can't hurt
you, it can't hurt you' She thought as she cringed in front of
it. She still retained some fear of fire, despite her natural
immunity and her attempts to overcome it. Still her fear was less
than a normal human's and she could overcome it, especially when
the floor beneath her gave way to a pit full of spikes. She
leaped through the wall of flame, it hurt, the pain nearly
unbearable, but it was over in an instant, and Fire rolled out of
the flame wall unharmed except for her black Ninja outfit, which
was burned to where it covered only the bear essentials. Fire's
eyes widened as she saw before her the Eye of Allandra, it seem
to look at her with bemused interest. As she reached out to grab
the eye. The walls of the room began to collapse on each other.
"What is it with these guy's and death traps, anyway?" As Fire
spoke she threw one of her two Katanas so that it was wedged
between the metal play closing in front of the door and the
floor. She slid under the plate and grabbed her katana on the way
out, watching the plate slam to the floor as she did. "That was a
close.... gack." Fire turned to face a wall of knives coming at
her. With in an instant, she had leaped at the wall batting away
enough knives with her Katana's to make a whole in the wall as
she leaped through. Her heart sank as a second wall approached
and she could see a third and maybe a forth behind it.
     "Bright lady, help! Get me out of here!" She cried to the
air.
     "Command understood, input desired destination." the voice
came from the eye.
     The harried Fire spoke quickly "Anywhere just get me out of
here."
     "Understood. Destination achieved..." and the world went
blank for an instant, rebuilding itself out of nothing."

PART TWO: Enter Lupin
     
     "Nothing like a successful gig to make a guy feel good,
right Giegan."
     "Nothing like good money, you mean." Giegan replied to
Lupin.
     "Well there is that. But I'd also like to think I did a
public service, taking down that corrupt banker. I mean I made
sure that the money we stole comes out of his pocket book and not
out of.... Giegan, look out!!!!"
     "I see!!!!" The yell came as the car screamed to a halt
spinning around in the process, an nearly hitting the girl who
had just appeared out of nowhere. The girl leaped out of the way,
the only problem was, that out of the way was over a high cliff
that overhung a large drop ending in jagged rocks (you know the
type.) In a less time than it takes to blink, Lupin had leaped
from the car and was moving to grab the girl. Mean while, Fire,
the girl in question, tossed out her grappling line, just a
little before Lupin did the same, so they both came to a halt at
nearly the same time. "Thanks for the though," Fire spoke "But I
can take care of myself."
     "Really?" Lupin spoke with interest. "So, what's a nice girl
like you doing in a place like this." his face plastered with a
goofy grin.
     "Trying to avoid being splattered by that yellow monster."
Fire answered.
     "Well, my care may have it's problems, but it's hardly a
monster. Shall we discuss the matter in more pleasant
surroundings milady?"
     "Sure, I have nothing better to do, till I figure out how to
get home."
----
Well that's the begining of the  latest Fire story. Lupin is a
character out of anime, so I'm crossposting this to 
rec.arts.anime.stories, I hope you people there like it. Fire is
a character based on anime, and in fact I have done several anime
style pictures of her which I need to scan again. Anyway, feel 
free to tell me what you think, I like compliments, but constructive
criticism can be more usefull, especially if it involves improving my
writing style.
