SCARLET FOXES- (ORIGIN)

8 Years Ago (Takara's POV)

"So what should we do now?" Kohana giggled as we sat on the fluffy carpet.

It was a Friday and we were at Atsuko's. Her parents were on a business trip for a month so we decided to stay there to keep her company. We just came back from another great day at school. Note the sarcasm..

"Homework." Ryo answered and threw our book bags at us.

"Awe come on!" Hikari complained. "I have a lot of homework!"

"Well..." Ryo smirked. "Then you better get started."

"Grr..."

"Do you have any homework Takara?" Atsuko asked.

"Nah-uh." I shook my head and watched as Atsuko walked into her walk-in-closet, probably gonna put together some clothes for dress up. No joke we always play dress up at her house... Because, why not? We are girls after all. Plus, it's kinda fun putting together random outfits to see if it'll look good on us..

"WHAT!?" Hikari exclaimed.

"I finished during classes." I shrugged.

"You're one smart cookie." Kohana giggled again as she started eating chips.

"Thanks." I giggled as well. I reached into my book bag and unwrapped a chocolate Reese's that is shaped like a heart. (A/N: No joke, that's what I'm seriously eating right now while typing... xD)

NOTE: This was written on Fanfiction a few years back.. I'm actually lying on the bed right now checking for grammar errors XD

"Hey! Guys! Check this out!" Atsuko shouted.

"Where are you?" Ryo raised her eyebrows and looked around in confusion.

"Closet!"

"What the hell are you doing there? Trying to find a way to Narnia?" Ryo asked jokingly.

"Just come here!"

We all looked at each other and threw down what we were holding. Well me being a chocolate lover, I took it with... Hehe..

"There's like books in this secret compartment." Atsuko excitedly placed the dusty books on the table.

"Eww!" Hikari back away and waved her hand. "I'm so not touching that..." She said and Ryo sighed.

"So what? It's just books." I said.

"In a secret compartment?"

"Well, never mind." I said and threw the chocolate wrapper away, reaching for a dusty book. "It's a diary..."

"Wow... It's very old..." Ryo examined from over my shoulder.

"It's my grandmother's..." Atsuko said sadly when she saw the handwriting and we all fell silent. "Let's see what she said...It could be important for it to be in there..."

"Here." I gave a small smile and carefully handed her the diary.

Atsuko opened to the middle of the diary and started reading. "..It was the night of our mission. Le Renard Écarlate had a mission to steal back an invention made by the Japanese Leonardo Da Vinci."

"Who are Le Renard Écarlate?" Kohana asked.

"Hmm..." Atsuko flipped backwards and started reading. "We started a group called Le Renard Écarlate to help bring artifacts back to their rightful owners. But of course, every hero has an enemy. And they are Le Renard Noir. We've been enemies for several years and have always competed in stealing the paintings. Our purpose was to give them back to the owners. Their purpose was unknown to us... We shall steal all of them before they can!"

"Interesting... And our last names are on here..." Ryo pointed to the back of the cover.

"Which means..." Kohana gasped.

"That our grandmothers were all thieves!" We all finished.

"Funny how we are all together now." Hikari said.

"Yeah... But what happened afterwards?" I asked Atsuko.

"Well, from here, it looks like they continued this rivalry for a long time. Eventually they all married off and here we are now."

"Hmm... I did hear on news that not all of the inventions and paintings were recovered." I muttered. "Wait a minute!"

"What?"

"That name... That's my gramp's name!" I exclaimed.

"Woah! First of all, your grandmother was a thief. And your grandfather was the famous Japanese Leonardo da Vinci... Talk about amazing." Ryo said as everyone beamed excitedly. "It's cute how she was stealing the stuff back for him."

Everyone stopped when I suddenly frowned.

"What's wrong Takara?"

"Nothing..."

"Doesn't seem like nothing..."

"Well... It's just that some of his works are still out there... But it rightfully belongs to him... I know he recently passed away, but I wish I could do something about his work..." I sighed deeply and sank into the carpet.

"... Say no more I got an idea." Ryo chuckled and nudged for the rest to sit. "We should finish what our grandmothers started. We'll do it for them."

"What do you mean?" Kohana asked, getting more interested.

"We all have a talent. And now we know why!" Ryo stood up and began pointing to different people. "We got it after our grandmothers! Atsuko, because you're amazing and found the important book about our grandmothers aka Le Renard Écarlate, you should be the boss. Plus you seem to know a lot of stuff. And you're the oldest. You are the most responsible."

"Wow really? Alright!" Atsuko smiled.

"Kohana, you're a little shy, but are a really great fighter, plus you hunt so you're experienced with guns. You're like... Like... A sniper!" Ryo snapped her fingers at the idea.

"Ooh nice!" Kohana giggled.

"Hikari, you're a little old fashioned in language, but you're very fashionable in clothing. You're like, a master of disguises." Ryo said.

"Ooh! Sounds mysterious." Hikari winked.

"And Takara, you're very smart and sneaky. You're very good with hacking and other electronics. You're like... A hacker!" Ryo beamed.

"Really? That's awesome!"

"Now... What am I?" Ryo muttered to herself.

The rest of us looked at each other and nodded. "A leader!"

"?"

"Because you're smart and a great planner. You're perfect for the job." We all smiled.

"Alright thanks, now... How about a name."

"Hmm..." Everyone muttered.

"The 5 fabs?"

"Nah..."

"5 stars?"

"Sounds like a hotel..."

"Cinco."

"No..."

"Man Ryo, if only your name started with N."

"How come?"

"Then our group name could've been 'THANK'."

"THANK?"

"Takara. Hikari. Atsuko. Ryo. And Kohana. See?"

"Even if my name did start with N, I would still say no..."

"Foxes..." I muttered.

"What's that?" Ryo questioned.

"Le Renard Noir translates to Black Foxes. And Le Renard Écarlate translates to Scarlet Foxes in French." I explained. "I know French..." I blushed and everyone else nodded in understanding.

"The Scarlet Foxes..." Ryo muttered.

Everyone thought for a moment..

"I love it!"

"Me too!"

"Sounds cool. Plus, it's after our grandmothers."

"The Scarlet Foxes then?"

"YEAH!" We all stood up happily knowing our new name.

"Alright. We are..." Ryo holds out her hand in mid-air. We all placed our hands on top and threw it up.

"THE SCARLET FOXES!"

This is honestly one of my favorite chapters ^.^ I dunno why..

Even so, I hope you enjoyed this chapter X3
