Chapter 1

 

 

 

Makoto walked out of his apartment, locking the door behind him, and set out to explore the town. He stood at around five feet eight inches and had a striking blonde hair color; gotten from his grandmother on his mother, Risa's, side. His features resembled that of a beautiful women, and with the right attire, he could have easily looked like a girl in every aspect. Convincing his father to get him that apartment close to school had been a tedious task, though, he did not regret the weeks he spend on persuading him.

He wanted to get accustom to the area so as to not seem completely new to his new Drama School and the people who live around there. His apartment was three hours away from the main house, just far enough to have some freedom, but not far enough to get away from his father, and was located in a very small town, one where everyone probably knew everyone else. At this point in time, since school had not started yet and wouldn't for the next week, he went around dressed normally, as a guy, though he still had to be careful. The only problem he might have was running into someone from the Drama School and later having them recognize him and wonder why he is dressed as a girl. Than he would have to return home; his dreams shattered.

The town couldn't have had more than a hundred buildings in all, including the houses; the smallest little town Makoto had ever seen, much less been in! From the center branched off four paths, each one leading to a different part of town. The one he just came from lead to all the apartment complexes, whereas the one directly to his right lead to the owned houses and to his left were restaurants. The only path that was straight in front of him split after a while; the one that went straight lead to a playground whereas the other one lead to a park.

After exploring the rest of the town, Makoto wandered into the park, deciding to relax a little before heading back to his apartment to finish unpacking. The park was a simple, and ordinary place, the only thing meant to stand out was a fountain in the center of a clearing with the statue of a woman with her child at play next to her surrounded by a pond of water. Someone had climbed on the top of this, which angered many who were now gathered around it.

“That fountain is older than I, older than even my grandfather to be exact!” declared an elderly man with one of the deepest voices imaginable. He looked to be no older than seventh-five, with gray hair, traces of a dark brown was evident. “This damn statue is old enough to break with even the slightest pressure added, and we don't need some fucking teenage tomboy rampaging around destroying things!”

“Kiss my ass!” bellowed the person on the statue. She had an amazing light brown hair cut really short, with beautiful eyes to match. She wore simple men's attire, a dark blue T-shirt and black pants; though they fit her and her attitude perfectly in his opinion. “Rules are overrated and meant to be broken!”

“Rules are meant to keep this fucked up world in order!” shrieked a woman, who could not have been over thirty. “You would do better to respect them and do as you are told!” storming away, muttering curses and the foulest phrases one could think of under her breath.

“What the hell is anyone in this damn place going to do if I don't?” she retorted, just as she reached up to get higher and her footing slipping just before she started to fall. Wondering why she never touched the ground, she turned around, as best as she could in the arms of the person who caught her, and saw a handsome young man, probably around her age, with remarkable blonde hair color and a very strong muscular build even for one as thin as him. Turning a very bright red, and averting her gaze to the ground, she somehow managed to stammer out, “Thanks.”

“I would be more careful if I were you. Next time I might not be around and I don't think anyone else would have helped you, what, with the way you pissed them all off so quickly and easily.” he implied, putting her feet back level with the ground. “What do you say I treat you to dinner?”

“If you really don't mind hanging out with a person like me?” she inquired with the most questioning look one could ever have imagined.

“There's nothing wrong with a person like you. Now, come, show me where you would like to eat at. I'm new to the area so I don't now all the greatest places to eat at around here.”

“Well, that explains why I've never seen you around here before. I'd show you around, but by now you probably know the area well enough to get around.”

“True, though it never hurts to make sure.” he stated, stepping out of the park and heading into the center of town. “Is there anything really important that I should know about this town?”

“Nothing to major that I can think of, though, and anything else you could learn over time.”

“Right now, the most important thing is that I learn something about my guest for dinner.”

“Heehee! I kinda forgot about that. Sorry! My name is Ito Miura and I am starting my first year at Aglis-Miata Drama School this year.”

“Really? So you want to become an actor do you?”

“Yup. I've wanted to ever since I was a little girl.”

“It is good that you can keep that dream for so long. Let me introduce myself, my name is Makoto and I have just moved into this town. I plan on living here for a few years.”

“Interesting. I wonder, just why did you move here? You cannot be older than I am?!”

“I am probably no older than you. It took a lot on my part to even get my father to let me move away this far. He would have rather me live three hours away and have to drive three hours to school and three hours back home. Never let my father decide everything, otherwise things would be a real pain right now.”

“Explains why I've never seen you around here! Most people probably wouldn't travel three hours just to look around a town.” she declared just as her stomach growled. “It looks like we have forgotten something in our discussions!”

“Apparently, someone is very hungry and it isn't me. So where do we eat?” he questioned upon arriving at the center of town.

“Hmm, I know you probably won't have the money, as I wouldn't, to eat at the most expensive, yet we don't want to eat at the cheapest place either. I would have to say Emura's is really good and that bad of a price either.”

“Than that shall be where we will eat. Though, I have no clue where it is at, you're going to have to show me.”

“Don't worry, it's right here.” she said as she rounded a corner. It stood just like a simple building, only the sign said it was a restaurant.

“Interesting little place. I wouldn't have known it was a restaurant if you didn't point it out to me.”

“True, I didn't either until someone pointed it out to me too. Though, that is why I like it, not to damn busy but still enough to keep them in business.”

“Hmm, what do you say we go inside and eat now?” he implored, stepping up and opening the door for Ito.

“Sure, let's finally eat. I'm starving.” she demanded, striding into the restaurant with Makoto following close behind.

Inside was a simple diner, though, it had a few more elegant touches to the atmosphere; drapes hung over the windows that could be opened or closed by the customers and the place was split into more than one room, about five from what they could tell, that gave the place a sense of privacy for the customers.

When they entered, there were very few people for it was before people would get off work and come eat. They were lead to a booth in one of the back rooms, as per Ito's request, and handed their menus. They ordered their meals and mostly ate in silence, once in a while a few words were exchanged, but they were few and much spaced out. When they had finished, Makoto paid the bill as he had promised. As he walked out, he held the door open once again for Ito.

“I'm not some fucking sissy girl that needs the door held open for me everywhere I go!” she exclaimed, marching out of the restaurant.

“There is such a thing as me being a gentleman, you know?”

“And there is such a thing about being too much of a gentleman, too.”

“Maybe, but that is not me. If you want, you can be the gentleman and hold the door for me.”

“Hell no! You stick to holding doors and paying bills so long as it suits you. What do you plan on doing now?”

“Well, now that I have a pretty good idea of the area, I will probably be staying at my apartment, unpacking, until schools starts for me. Though, I plan to walk you home first.”

“I'd be careful if I were you. My brothers don't take to kindly to guy walking me home; they'd beat you to a pulp.”

“Than I shall walk you as far as you would like.”

“Fine, fine, you win.” she stated, ambled past him and lead them down the street to her house. When they had arrived at a corner close to her house, she halted, turning, and said, “This is as far as you go. The biggest house down this street is ours, well; it's almost the only damn house down this street.”

“Then it looks like I shall have to leave you here. Try not to get into anymore situations like you did in the park this afternoon. I may not be around to save you like I did today.” he stated, turning around. Once he had walked a little ways down, he called back, “You'll probably be seeing me around here again, soon.”

“I hope so.” she called, running back to give him a hug before heading the rest of the way down the street to her house.

By the time Makoto made it back to his apartment it was very late; very dark with only the moon for lighting in the vast sky. The first thing he did when he walked in was take a shower and head straight to bed. Tomorrow would be another day of unpacking, leaving the day before school starts to get any supplies he would need.

 

A/N: I had this written out for a while; it was just a matter of putting it into the computer. Which was hell, I had 2 research papers due this week, one Wednesday and one tomorrow, which I did Sunday, but have been helping other people with their's. Summer will be the greatest relief for it will give me the most time to work on stories and my games. On that topic, there will definitely be NO updates in March. I have five books to get, of which are W Juliet Vol. 9 and Kingdom Hearts Vol. 3 which should be out by the end of March; two maybe three video games, one being Kingdome Hearts II ^_^; and one movie, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire which comes out on March 7th. I have one birthday in the family to celebrate that month, one this Feb. 28, twins that are turning one year old, and one on March 23 that is turning two years old. I have a lot to do that month, along with the insurance on our rent house being due next month! >_< Too many things!!As last time, at least one reviewbefore it will be update, and even then I cannot say exactly when I will get the chance.
