Chapter 1
Awkward meeting
God created the world first, then he relaxes a few days. Then he created a boy, with who he was so satisfied that he allowed himself a few days more rest. But then his biggest mistake came, he created a girl. From that moment on, it was over with his peacefulness and for the boy too. More precisely for me. The world has since been divided into two camps. In boys and girls. That means in me and you.
The first book of the famous cartoonist, Asakura Yoh, is completely sold out throughout Japan. Ten thousand books were already sold in the first week. And according to the publishers, there are already orders of ten thousand more. Asakura Yoh will present his book shortly at a press conference.
"How does a cartoonist become an author?", was the first question asked to the brown-haired young author. He was sitting on a chair behind a white table, full of his new published books. Before him were reporters with their microphones, who wanted to ask their questions.
The young author grinned at the question. "At first I tried drawing. And the next step was writing for me. Always hoping to understand women."
"Well? Do you understand women now?", another reporter asked.
"For that I have to write more books.", he replied smoothly, causing the reporters to giggle.
"Do you always wanted to write about women?", was the next question.
"Do you know a more exciting and interesting topic?", the brunet replied.
"You make fun of women in your book.", another reporter started. "Could it be that in your book "Me and You", your own experiences have flowed into it?"
"Do you know madam, if your love life is happy, you do not need to talk about it. And if it failed, it has no more sense."
"And if the love remained unanswered?"
The brunette sighed. "If it's true love, it will not be unrequited. One day it will be returned. Our life is long enough for that."
"Have you often met true love in your life?"
"Only one.", he spoke thoughtful. "But she always came back to me."
Seven years ago- Japan Airport
"Hey, Mum!"
"Yoh! Where have you been? Did you forget something in the car?"
"Exactly!", he said and laughed nervous. In response she fished the keys out of her pocket and held them in front of his face.
"Oh ... you had the keys... I.."
"Save it.", his mother interrupted him. "I do not want to know who it was this time."
"But who said I was with a girl?", he frowned.
"Yoh...", she raised her hands to stop him. "Just tell me if you have your passport and your ticket."
"Mom, I'm going to America to study. Don´t you think I can take care of myself?", he tried to defend himself.
"I don´t think so!", a voice called out. "You do not believe that yourself, do you?", a long brown haired boy approached them.
"Hey, Hao.", Yoh smiled at his twin brother.
Hao placed an arm around Yoh´s shoulders. "You can´t take care of yourself. Here is your passport and ticket."
"What would I do without you?", Yoh grinned and wanted to take the things, but Hao held them behind his back. "Grow up, already.", he said.
Their Mother giggled "That would be nice."
"Did you hear?", Hao smirked.
"Alright.", Yoh raised his hands in defense and grinned.
Suddenly Keiko´s phone rang. "Hello..", she gave the phone to Yoh. "It´s your Father."
"Who is also your husband, at the same time.", Yoh reminded her, but she just crossed her arms. "I wish you were a bit friendlier to him...", he spoke sadly.
"Hello... yes... yes I packet everything... Yes, I have the passport.", he sweat dropped. Why does everyone remind me of that?, he thought. "Hey! I have an idea. How about you visit me in New York for a change?... Yeah?... Great!... Yes Dad... Bye for now.", he spoke and hang up.
Yoh glanced sadly back to his mother. "Dad sounds like he is missing you very much.", he spoke softly with sad eyes.
She took the phone and glanced into the distance. "Has he only called me once for the last seven years? Anyway... It's better if you keep yourself out of this, Yoh. Concentrate on your studies."
"Yes Mum.", Yoh said and hugged her. "I will miss you.", he glanced at Hao. ", Take care of her."
Hao smirked. "Like you have so far?"
"Oh come on!", Yoh whined.
Yoh huddled his way between the narrow passage in the plane in search of his seat. He looked from his boarding ticket to the number of the seat row and sighed in relief when he found his seat. Suddenly he shifted his glance to the person, who will be sitting next to him for several hours. His breath caught, his heart skipped a beat and he felt how his face heated up. There sat the most beautiful girl he has ever seen. From her blond hair to her amber eyes and those cherry lips. She looked out the window and did not notice him, or his drooling.
To make sure this will be really his seat, he looked at his ticket again. Today must be my lucky day!, he thought and smiled wide. He will be the one, who will be sitting next to the blond girl. She is beautiful, let's see if I'm lucky!, he thought while he sat down next to her. "Hi!", he greeted her with a grin. She glanced at him briefly and nodded politely "Hi."
The plane was about to take off and Yoh glanced at the girl next to him and found her in a prayer pose while she mumbled "Please protect me."
Yoh smiled "Hey!", he whispered, causing her to glance at him. "It will work out!"
She just raised an eyebrow and sent him a death glare before she crossed her arms and looked away. Her eyes made him tremble and he smiled nervously. Oh... bad move.
After a while all passengers got their food. The brunette had already started to eat and dared to catch a quick look at her. He saw her wiping her cutlery before she started to eat. I do not know if I think it´s cute or crazy...
Even an hour later she does not pay attention to him. He sighed, This is boring. I can´t even talk to her and start an conversation. So, he took out a pencil and a napkin to draw something. He chuckled at his drawing, causing the blond girl to glance from her magazine to him. He noticed that and smiled at her before returning to his drawing. She cringed her nose as she noticed that he was drawing a cartoon boy and a girl. Shaking her head, she looked back at her magazine. He was so engrossed in the drawing that he pushed her aside accidentally, while he raised his arm. Annoyed she sent him another death glare. He shivered and apologized.
After some time he sighed again. You wasted so much time. Surely it is already too late to talk to her. Just ask for a magazine!, he told himself and looked at her and opened his mouth to ask, but unfortunately she was faster. "Excuse me, but can I have your magazine please?", she asked and pointed at the object. He smiled "Sure!", he handled her his magazine. She took it and shifted her attention away from him.
He cleared his throat and took all his courage together. "Hey…", he started to get her attention. She glanced at him and raised an eyebrow. „We have been sitting side by side for about three hours and haven´t even introduced ourselves. Unbelievable, right?", he smiled.
She nodded slowly, like she thought about it. "But only if you stop annoying me. Kyoyama. Anna Kyoyama."
He smiled and replied cheekily "Bond. James Bond.", and laughed about his joke. She looked at him in disbelief and raised an eyebrow. Haven´t I just told him to stop annoying me?!, she thought.
He noticed her facial expression and stopped laughing. I am such an Idiot!, he told himself. "Asakura, Yoh Asakura.", he said and held an hand out. She glanced to the offered hand and back to his face. Sighing, she grabbed his hand.
Suddenly the plane got turbulent and the light flickered for a few seconds. Anna was startled, squeezed his hand tight and looked around hastily. Yoh grinned at her reaction "This is the beginning of a wonderful friendship", he told her. In response, she pulled her hand out of his grip and looked back at her magazines. Yoh took his drawing out and showed it her. "These are "Me and You"", he explained her. Anna just narrowed her eyebrows and looked at him questioningly.
"Oh.. Not You and Me.", he replied and grinned. He pointed with the pencil at the boy. "Me.", and then at the girl. "You. My cartoon characters." She nodded slowly.
"Excuse me mister, do you want tea or coffee?", a stewardess asked him, causing them to look up from the sketch.
Yoh glanced at Anna. "Let me guess, you're definitely the type who drinks tea.", he looked back up at the stewardess and smiled charmingly. "A tea for the lady, please."
"A coffee please.", she stated. "With brown sugar and about two spoonfuls of milk.", Anna smiled politely at the stewardess. "All right, I'm preparing it now.", with that the stewardess walked back, leaving the two of them alone.
Yoh played nervously with his pen in his hands, before he dared to speak again. "I'm glad you chose coffee. You know, women who drink tea are always like..."
Anna cut him off "My mom drink tee."
"Exactly!", he laughed nervous. "I just wanted to say that. Only old-fashioned women drink tea. Like mothers, grandmothers, aunts..", he counted.
Anna had to pull herself together to not just shout at him in front of all these people that he should just shut up already. She muttered curses under her breath.
"But only modern women drink coffee.", he continued. "Women today are drinking coffee, not tea. You are a modern woman. Modern women are ... modern."
Ah, you don´t say., she thought and decided that it would be the best to just ignore him before she could not control herself anymore. The blond girl put on headphones and closed her eyes.
"Hello?!", Yoh asked, but she don´t replied. He sighed I am just an idiot, when it comes to girls, he thought sadly and sank into the seat.
Yoh ran through the crowd to catch up with the blonde girl. "Hey!", he greeted her. "Hey.", she replied calm. Why do I greet him at all?, she told herself and frowned.
He glanced at his watch and said. "We have six hours until our flight to New York. To wait here at the airport is too boring... Let's have a look at Amsterdam!", he smiled excited at her.
She thought about it. "You've got a visa for Holland."
She gave him a confused look and narrowed her eyes. "How do you know?"
Yoh gulped before he spoke the next sentence. "I... I-I saw into your passport..."
"You what?!", she almost shouted at him. "You were snooping in my pocket!?"
He raised his hands defensively. "You were sleeping... otherwise I would have asked you."
"Don´t you know that women's handbags are taboo?! That´s it!", with that she raised her left hand and smashed her palm on his cheek, causing him to fly across the hall.
While he was lying on the ground, he muttered "I am sorry... I will never do it again..."
"Sniffing in my bag I do not believe it...", she muttered and walked pass him. He stood up and placed a hand on his swollen cheek. "Where are you going?", he called out.
She glanced over her shoulder. "I thought we were going to visit Amsterdam? But you will pay for everything.", she said stern.
Yoh could not believe his luck and grinned wide. "I have to make it up to her!", he whispered to himself.
