These words are for you because you are the best.
May I be the first and certainly not the last person to welcome you humbly to Las Vegas, Nevada. Where the richest, most powerful icons on Earth come to play. If you even take one step into the life of the most renowned entertainment capital of the world and your entire life will be changed forever and you will be sucked into something you will never want to pull yourself out of. The days are exciting, fun-filled and daring as you walk through the streets buzzing with activity and your eyes try to take in the many theme parks, fancy hotel fountain displays and expensive restaurants that litter every corner. Although this isn't what the vast majority of the population comes to see.
It can change right before your eyes as the sun sets, dissapearing behind the high-rise skyscrapers and the breath-taking scenery. Lights you never noticed before turn on, neon's start flashing, beams like that of lightning strobe the sky and the clouds making the world around you dance. At night, the sidewalks come alive with jazz, ritzy clubs and bars wherever your gaze land. But everyone's attention is on one thing. The people have changed direction, heading toward one building out of all the rest.
The place where everyone- rich or poor- come to try their luck. With a flip of a coin or the spin of a wheel, your future is decided. The casinos. Make it or break it. As the saying goes, money won is twice as sweet as money earned.
It doesn't matter if you win or if you lose, because your money practically drips from your pockets, begging to be spent. In just a single week alone, these casinos of the infamous capital could make enough money for you to retire at thirty and live pampered, plump and pleased for the rest of your life. In one week, the money gained could send you to the moon and back. Some people want more than just the overflowing slots they receive from a lucky pull. Defiant citizens who want to make it big.
There are whisperings of a few prestigious masters of gambling who have attempted to cheat the casinos into losing their precious money and only a few were cunning enough to actually make it out alive. But who would be stupid- no- insane enough to go through with something of such magnitude? Of such caliber? To do something so illegal that if you were caught, your very life would be in jeopardy? Well, that is where we come in.
We are few, but we are the best. Want to know our secret? We never fold. When it comes to being undetectable, we are akin to ninja. Silent, swift and precise. We are like ghosts in the system, entering the building without so much as a double-take from the many other patrons in the regal halls. Our target is the Konoha Casino- I'm sure you've heard of it since it is actually the most prestigious Casino in the whole of Las Vegas run by a seemingly younger woman of high status. She has within her possession one of the rarest, most expensive items ever, pricing in at a staggering $40,000,000. That, my dear friend, is forty million dollars in case your mind numbed at the amount of zeros in the total. The item we are going to steal is called an Hourglass.
When a normal hourglass shatters, the contents spread across the floor and you curse yourself because cleaning up after tiny grains of sand is extremely hard to do and it is painstaking to find every little bit. But considering that instead of sand each granule inside the crystal-embroidered glass is actually a tiny diamond, it wouldn't be as horrible if you dropped this one. Cleaning up the mess would certainly be more exciting since each diamond is worth its fair share of money. Some of my team's mission is to distract you, the customer, so that your life can go on as naively as it had been, drinking and gambling every cent you own away. The other half of the team?
Infiltration. It is by far the trickiest part and certainly the most nerve-wracking, but in just a few days of reconnaissance, a couple of days memorization and dozens of drinks, the Hourglass sitting on a pressure sealed, temperature gauged, laser encased pedestal will belong to us. Along with the 40 million it is marked at. The brains of our operation is exceeding an IQ of two hundred, so may your doubts about our plan dissapear and the creases in your brow be smooth. My comrades are flawless; they are all good at what they are meant to do. My name is Hatake, Kakashi and I am the money. Funding and directing this crime is my idea. My passion. So think before you go running- tail between your legs- to the nearest authorities. I am offering you a seat in this prestigious band of thieves and told you that your share would be a royal sum of five million. Would you be willing to go all in?

x x x x x x x xhatakeKAKASHI - theLEADERx x xTAKEN BY[ f r u t a citrica ] x x x x x x x x x x x(♥) - - -»THIRTY - ONE YEARS OLD
Hatake, Kakashi. At the mention of his name I feel hot, my breaths quicken, my heart rate picks up, my clothes feel much too tight, my skin much too damp. With just one smouldering glance through his mismatched eyes, I feel like I'm being physically caressed. His smile is enchanting, like that of a modest young man receiving a well-deserved compliment. His modesty is a gift, but there's something much more attractive in his demeanour. His mysterious air. his secretive, knowing looks that make me feel anxious as if I had something to hide from this god of a man. There's no surprise that he became our leader. In fact, he extended each invitation to join his group of classy thieves, so there was no doubt of who would take the reigns of the operation. That and he was loaded. Not a single person ever could pinpoint exactly how Kakashi had so much money in his possession, but it was enough to buy the chips from the casino and to purchase all the tools and hardware we needed to fulfil our mission. When we first met, he introduced himself as 'the money'. "Every single penny of it." I had said to him, our eyes locking for the first time. I knew that in that moment I had developed an obsession. A new craving that nags at my mind. A love like no other. Do you believe me? Hn, well just you wait until you meet him and then you'll understand. He is like a silver fox- sly, cunning, graceful, powerful, aloof...Yet there is a striking beauty to him that everyone around him acknowledges and he is quite the popular customer in the casino. Girls swoon, bartenders dish out drinks on the house, business men give him their cards. Whenever his gaze lands on me though, it changes. It's not the same as he looks at everyone else. It sends electricity through to my core and makes me blush if held for too long. The way he says my name- no. The way he says anything and everything turns me on to a degree I don't even care to mention. He's a smooth-talker and even when I know that he might be using me with his unfaltering charisma, I stick to him like glue.
x x x x x x x xinuzukaKIBA - theBARTENDERx x xTAKEN BYr o f l - - NOOBCAKES x x x x x x x x x x x(♥) - - -»TWENTY - THREE YEARS OLD
Inuzuka, Kiba is one smoking hot bartender. The way his smile reveals his pointed canines entices any gender of any age to come and buy his beautifully made drinks and he always finds a way to flirt even without meaning to. He's outgoing, which makes him perfect at his job. I sometimes wonder how Kakashi manages to find these diamonds in the rough, because every man on the team is gorgeous, great for their positions and exceptionally smart. Kiba is extremely kind-hearted and loyal, like a dog drooling over its master. This is an accurate saying for this young man considering that he practically is a puppy himself and it shows in the way he talks, walks and eats. He even has a dog named Akamaru that follows him nearly everywhere, never leaving his side except when he has to work for the casino. He is the only other member of the team that take the risk of working from the inside along with Sai, our blackjack dealer. No one suspects that he'd be capable of doing anything dastardly, but boy are they wrong. This dobe is tricky, cheap and mischievous when he wishes to be, doing anything from lacing important people's drinks with sedatives, giving people a false sense of security and retrieving information from the tipsy guests about the precious items we are searching for and getting them to tell him random security codes for the building. You can't hate him; his silly little grins and his cute puppy dog eyes make him difficult to get angry at. I find him adorable and he is a good person to spill your feelings to. Bartenders listen better than anyone else and are somehow easier to open up to..
x x x x x x x xkusazoushiSAI - theDEALERx x xTAKEN BYx x _ _ EXTREMEbetch x x x x x x x x x x x(♥) - - -»TWENTY - TWO YEARS OLD
I just met this guy. Kusazoushi, Sai, I think his name is. I don't know what it is, but something about this porcelain skinned artist makes me think of myself. Whether it be the dark eyes, the dark hair or the nice body, I'm not sure, but there's that nostalgic feeling like when I look into a mirror. His job is to deal. Not in the way you think, no. He deals cards. A man on the inside. His game is blackjack- the game of chance. While he and Inuzuka, Kiba work at the casino in order to get the appropriate information and knowledge like passwords and keywords from their coworkers, the others roam around the place in order to complete the mission. It is his job to make sure that while the actual thieves were performing the robbery, the round table he dealt at was full with the most powerful citizens that could possibly have an impact on their jobs. His constant smile is entrancing, making everyone look over and suddenly wish to make bets on his table as he tosses them their cards expertly. Gracefully. He is an artist in many regards. The way he shuffles is a form of it, the cards moving faster than anyone can follow. He is mysteriously attractive and his silent, calm nature makes everyone around him trust in him. The customers don't know that he's a potent form of distraction, made and trained to deceive. Kakashi plays it sometimes, sitting down only to win, but his favourite game is Texas Hold 'em, so whenever he's around Sai, he's merely talking, asking him questions about his job and how he likes it in Las Vegas. Always lying. Sai will be an amazing asset to the team. He's a natural, after all.
x x x x x x x xmidareHIDAN - theDISTURBANCEx x xTAKEN BY| c r e m e n o i r | x x x x x x x x x x x(♥) - - -»TWENTY - FIVE YEARS OLD
Hn. Midare, Hidan is the single most obnoxious, pig-headed, loud-mouthed b*****d I have ever met and it is safe to say that if he got run over by a pulp truck in front of me, I would probably shrug and say it was for the betterment of mankind. He isn't classy the way the rest of the team is and the only thing he's got going for him is his looks. He is vile, always managing to offend some race, culture or religion. In fact, he's so devoted to some imaginary god name Jashin that he does rituals every so often and even spills his own blood to 'make up for his sins'. He finds the idea of self-mutilation entrancing and doesn't even blink if he gets injured. I guess he just has a strong pain threshold. That or he's mentally unstable. Whenever I hear a crash or a yell or a random outburst of swearing, I know Hidan is involved. He's such an a*****e it makes me shiver in anger. I can't imagine why Kakashi would want him on our team. Maybe he's a pesky relative who wanted to come along and he couldn't say no? Although I don't think that would effect the leader's decision. He must have found Hidan from somewhere and thought he was...The best at what he does. What does he do anyway? He's just the painful nuisance on the team who tries to push his religion onto other people. He creeps me out- I don't like him at all. I think Kakashi told me once that he’s some crazy martial arts expert. But the guy is a big problem. He never shuts up!
x x x x x x x xnaraSHIKAMARU - theBRAINSx x xTAKEN BYxhime - lemon drop x x x x x x x x x x x(♥) - - -»TWENTY - THREE YEARS OLD
Nara, Shikamaru. The man is a genius. An IQ over 200, this guy is the brains of the operation. We all have our special parts in this mission. His is actually coming up with the plan of action. I always found him a little lazy. So when Kakashi told me that he wanted me to contact him, I was a little hesitant. But Kakashi is the leader for a reason. I’m entranced for a reason. So when I got a hold of Shikamaru and he said he was in, I was actually really surprised, and told Kakashi. Shikamaru is an interesting guy. I’ve worked with him a few times before in smaller jobs. The way he works, is most certainly an interesting one, and I was more than happy after thinking about it for a bit, to know that he was going to be the main brains behind this mission. I had confidence that things would be good. Shikamaru wouldn’t let anything bad happen on his watch. He might be lazy, but when it came down to it, he wanted the money like the rest of us, and would try his damn hardest to make everything go as according to plan.
x x x x x x x xuchihaITACHI - theTHIEFx x xTAKEN BYxhime - lemon drop x x x x x x x x x x x(♥) - - -»TWENTY - EIGHT YEARS OLD
Uchiha, Itachi is my elder brother. He’s older than me by five years, and he’s taught me a lot. But, I have my style, and he has his. They’re both incredibly usable. There used to be a time when I hated my brother. I hated him because when he was younger, he was always better than me. Of course, that was to be expected. He was five years older than me. But there was one time, when he was picked for a theft, that I wasn’t picked for either. I sat there for so long, staring at the letter my brother had gotten. I had seen my brother off when he had gone. It had pissed me off. That was why Kakashi knew that we came in two. If Itachi was going, so was I. And we were the first two to get the call from him. Itachi knows that I’m in love with Kakashi, but he knows I’m professional. I wouldn’t ******** up. Hn.. My brother is stealthy. He’s quiet, and perfect. Sly, and professional. He’s the best thief, and I’m proud to be his brother. I hope I can only be as good as he is in every single aspect. The fact that he used to be in love with Kakashi is a little nerving, because I’m afraid that he’ll love him again, or that Kakashi might get interested in Itachi. That would be the worst thing.
x x x x x x x xuchihaSASUKE - theWHOREx x xTAKEN BYC0l0RFUl ___ PANTiiES x x x x x x x x x x x(♥) - - -»TWENTY - THREE YEARS OLD
My name is Uchiha, Sasuke. I suppose you can call me the whore. But I’m classy. Professional. And I don’t just flirt with everyone. No. I flirt with Kakashi. I’m by his side most of the time. He`s classy. We all are. My best friend is Uzumaki, Naruto. There is only one person on this team that I don’t like, and his name is Hidan. That man has.. Problems. I’m not sure what it is, but I don’t like him. He’s not classy and smart like the rest of us. I have class. I know when to run. I know what to say. I know how to draw people in and wrap them around my fingers. I think what attracts people to me, is that my skin is almost white. It’s very pale, and my eyes are black. My hair is black. It`s short and spiky in the back. It teases my neck. Showing enough that reels people in, and keeps them there. My job while my brother is stealing, is to keep Kakashi at ease. I know that beneath his calm exterior, he’s a working machine. That he is stressed, despite not showing it. My job is to make sure that he stays calm and doesn’t make stupid decisions. I’m the one that he sometimes confides in.
x x x x x x x xuzumakiNARUTO - theLOLITA x x x x x x x x x x x(♥) - - -»TWENTY - THREE YEARS OLD
This blindingly obnoxious person is Uzumaki, Naruto. To the team, he`s otherwise known as the lolita boy- the one who flirts openly with the richest patrons, making them take their eyes off their cards, off their drinks and off their money. If any security guards are roaming the floor, he would be the first one to jump at them, showing them a bit of skin, a pouty smile and spew a fake a** story to distract them from their jobs. He is probably the flashiest, most annoying person in the casino and possibly even the whole world, but he does his job and does it well. We banter playfully with each other and pretend like we are unimpressed, but in fact we are very good friends even though it's a silent secret between us. An unmentionable topic. Though sometimes he really pisses me off, hanging around Kakashi so much and calling him sensei all the time. Kakashi seems to be amused by him and this makes me fume. 'Tch. Just because Kakashi taught him almost everything he knew about thievery and the art of successfully seducing the many customers in various casinos, he thinks he can talk freely about the man. I know they have an almost father-son relationship, but it grinds my gears when they are overly casual with one another. I have to admit that the blue eyed blond is very adorable and can make anyone look at him with just his cute little exclamations of 'dattebayo!' and if I wasn't so wholly obsessed with the leader, I might actually like him. I mean that purely hypothetically of course.
