They didn't seem to care about him. As long as he did as they told him, they were satisfied. Being one of the sons of one of the richest families in Japan isn't what it all seems to be.

The raven haired boy had been visiting some relatives in the hospital with his father. Strictly business related. No surprise there.

They seldom pay any attention to him, hence he managed to leave unnoticed.

He stepped into the sunlight and looked around. There was nothing much to see really. In this part of Tokyo, there was nothing but stores filled with people coming and going. These people, in his eyes, were nothing compared to him. They didn't have much money, and their statuses weren't that impressive.

Commoners.

He had nothing against them. He just wasn't...fond of them.

He continued to walk along the streets ignoring every man, woman, and child in his path. It wasn't uncommon for him to behave this way. He acted cold to everyone, including his family.

He stopped to rest on a bench by a water fountain. Around it were parents with their children, laughing and playing. When one child was injured, the parent would come and carry him or her away. That's the way a family should act. Loving. Caring. Protecting. Not that he cared.

Every child was evidently happy. Well, almost all of them. One of them caught his eye.

Outside the circle of happiness and joy was a lone girl. She was about one year younger than him, maximum two. Curiosity got the better of him.

He saw that in each hand, was a bag of groceries, and a small pouch was strapped over her shoulder. She wasn't sad, but she wasn't happy either. Her face was blank. It revealed no emotions; as if she were spacing out.

Her gaze, he saw, was to the water fountain. He glanced at it quickly, but found nothing of interest there.

When his eyes found her again, a small smile formed on her lips and she made her way to return to wherever she was going. That is, until their eyes met.

Embarrassed that he had been caught watching her, he turned away, blushing slightly.

Unable to resist, he looked back.

Much to his dismay, he saw that she was walking in his direction. Nevertheless, this gave him an opportunity to have a closer look at her.

She wore a small blue jacket, a pair of pants that stopped beneath her knees exposing a small part of her long legs.

A gust of wind blew her long brown hair and the sunlight glittered in her chocolate eyes, complementing her pale skin. Her rosy lips formed a gentle smile, forcing him to look away once more. After a few moments, a soft female voice called out to him.

"Hello there."

Stubbornly, he refused to respond or glance at her.

"Are you lost?"

Still no response.

He felt a weight on the empty seat next to him, and he whirled around to find that the commoner had taken a seat next to him. He narrowed his eyes. Does she have any idea who she is? With the pathetic smile still on her face, he supposed not. Give it another five minutes, and she'll give up for sure.

"What's your name?"

He hesitated. "Kyoya."

Her smile seemed to grow. "Well, it's nice to meet you. Are you from around here?"

He shook his head, and decided it was best to ignore from that point on.

"You know, Kyoya, if you can't find your way back, I can help you."

Was she still trying? He may not be from around there, but he still remembers where he came from. He wasn't stupid, unlike some people. Clearly giving her the cold shoulder wasn't helping him at all. Maybe a more direct approach?

"Would you leave me alone?" he said icily.

Much to his surprise, she didn't flinch. Instead, she stared. Stared into his deep onyx eyes. This irritated him to know end. How dense can this girl get?

He heard some shuffling, and saw that she was searching through one of her grocery bags and took out some packaged sushi and a pair of chopsticks. She gestured for him to take it, though he didn't make one move or gesture to accept it.

To his disbelief, she took his hand in hers and wrapped it around the box, smiling that annoying smile of hers.

"Just eat a bit, before you go."

Realizing that she was still holding onto his hand, he slapped hers away. How dare she touch him? An Ootori? He can have her life changed in an instant if he wanted to. Her money would be taken away, and she would be stripped of her status.

Kyoya peered down at the food in his hands, and back at the girl who didn't look affected by his slap. She was currently drinking something out of a cup, spacing out again he surmised. Their eyes met again, and he quickly lowered his head to hide the blush creeping up his face.

He slowly ate his food, cringing at its distasteful flavour.

"I know it might not taste the best, but just cope with it for a bit" the female beside him laughed.

"So tell me a little about yourself."

The boy choked on his food. That question caught him off guard. She wanted to get to know him. There was something severely wrong with this situation. No one, in his life, had wanted to genuinely know him. All they knew was that he was an Ootori, and left it at that. What more was there to know?

"My name is Kyoya."

She laughed softly.

"Okay, tell me something I don't know."

Would she stop already? Maybe if he told her who she truly was, it would keep her mouth shut.

"My name is Kyoya Ootori."

"And?"

He was speechless. She doesn't know who he is? Honestly? That's impossible. One of the most wealthiest families in the country, and she hasn't heard of them?

He hadn't noticed that his glasses were sliding down the bridge of his nose, so the girl pushed them up for him. Being brought out of his daze, he slapped her hand away again.

She tilted her head. "If you don't have your glasses on properly, you won't be able to see." she pointed out matter of factly.

She took his empty box and placed them in a separate bag to throw away for a later time. He hadn't even noticed that he had finished his food, and was somewhat relieved. It was his chance to leave, and clear his slightly clouded mind.

"Thank you for the food. Now I must go." He, hurriedly, set off to leave.

About five minutes into the walk, he turned and was horrified to see her behind him.

"Were you following me?!" He yelled uncontrollably. First she touched him, then pushed up his glasses , and now followed him? This girl is asking for trouble.

"Of course I did, I had to make sure that you made it back safely."

His eyes widened a fraction at her reply. He felt a warm glow in his chest. She wanted him to be safe. Him. Of all people.

"Will you leave me alone if I do?"

She simply nodded.

She trailed behind him all the way to the hospital. He made his way to walk in without her, but something stopped him. Something warm was holding his hand. Slowly turning, he discovered his hand in hers, her eyes full of worry. This time he didn't make a move to free his hand. It just lay there.

"Will you be alright?"

A lump was caught in his throat. He forced his voice to come out strong.

"Yes."

She glimpsed at the building behind him.

"Is your family okay?"

He paused. Is his family okay? They're perfectly fine last time he checked. His father only came to discuss some business related work. But why would she care?

He nodded.

She smiled.

He walked in.

She waved.

He looked back.

She smiled.

He turned away.

She disappeared.

* * *

He entered the room, and everything was the same as he left. No one noticed him and his father was talking to his uncle. His thoughts were on the girl. He didn't even get to find out her name. He took a seat by the door and frowned.

She promised that she would leave him alone if he returned safely.

She wasn't going to be leaving him in peace anytime soon.
