xx/ A question worth asking /xx

"Excuse me, miss. You forgot your maths homework," Said a blue haired boy, walking over to Risa at the end of school. The first day of each new school year is always hard, but homework too?! It was hard for young 8th grader Risa Harada to stand!

She snatched her homework sheet off the boy angirly. "And who might you be?!" She then asked whilst stuffing it into her bag. But when she looked up, the boy was gone... He must be new to the school. A transfer student, prehaps... Risa felt odd as she looked at where the boy had just been standing... there had a certain aura to him that she just couldn't ignore. Although she hadn't spoken to him for long, and had only caught a glimpse of his blue hair, she was determined to find out more about this mysterious boy. Particually his name.

Risa ran the way she thought he'd gone, eager to catch up with him. Who was this blue haired boy who had given Risa her homework and brought out her curiosity? Was he friendly? Was he intelligent? Was he handsome? All these questions were just waiting to be explored and somehow answered!

She passed several shops and houses, parks and fields... a few times she almost gave up hope entirely. But she kept thinking that she saw... just a flash of blue out the corner of her eye and something drove her to follow it until eventually, her heart had lead her deep into the forest... although she hated to admit it...

...she was lost.

And all because of one boy's unurly dark-ish blue hair...

So poor Risa just sat there without a mobile phone, waiting for somebody to pass who could give her directions. But nobody came. It began to get dark and the only signs of life were the birds flying back to their nests for the last time in the day, to feed their hungry young. Everything seemed so quiet after that... and sinister. The brunette girl was on the brink of tears by the time the first few stars were starting to appear...

"Help!!" She finally cried. "Someone help me! I'm lost and I-"

Suddenly, there was some movement in the bushes, and she screamed. But to her suprise, she saw blue hair. Lot's of unurly, short, dark-ish blue hair... she was quick to look down at the rest of him. He was a very tall boy with sad, mature, icy blue eyes which seemed to peer into her very soul... but they were sad in a beautiful way somehow. They were hidden behind a pair of glasses, so Risa found it rather hard to properly look into them...

"You... what's your name?! I've been following you all this time... just... to find out your name..."

He walked over to her and gently rested his hand on her shoulder. "It's Satoshi Hiwatari. And I heard you crying. You are lost."

"Yes, I know I am!!" She sniffed feeling both relieved and angry at the same time. Satoshi... a very common but beautiful name...

"Oh? Then I take it you don't need help."

"Yes!!! I do!"

"Then why are you taking such an angry tone with me?"

She paused and then sighed with realisation. "Yes... I could really use help right now, thankyou, Hiwatari-san..."

Satoshi helped her to her feet, then began to lead her out of the forest. He seemed very cold personality-wise... and Risa didn't like the fact that he was wearing glasses... but he was helping, and that was enough to please Risa. It was a little awkward walking alongside him, so he decided to walk behind her, but she shook his head at this and smiled at her new found classmate.

"Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead, Do not walk if front of me, for I shall not follow. Walk beside me, and we shall walk on together," She told him, unintentionally taking his hand. He looked uncomfortable and stubbornly shook her off. But somehow, her little speech had impressed him, though he would never admit it.

Once she knew where she was, the mysterious new transfer student said a very blunt 'goodbye' then began to walk off. But to her suprise, he stopped and turned around.

"Wait... what's your name, Miss?" He asked. Little did she know that he had been following her all night... purely to ask this question too.

Now you people know me. I don't like writing drabbles, I much prefer to write my other Satoshi x Risa full story. But it's a new something I'm willing to try. If y'all like it, just review and let me know - I'll be sure to continue xx
