Is this seat taken?

The trip away from home was longer than I thought. I look around me and I saw a train full of strangers. Everyone was strangers; even myself.

I looked away and found myself looking at the darkness outside the window. I stared at nothing for a while. I am feeling so lonely, so cold and so alone. I am in a place where I don't know anyone...including myself. I am bound to face a life full of uncertainty.

"I don't know what to do..." I said to myself.

I can't think of anything but the memories I had back home. Memories I don't even want to remember.

"Excuse me..." a voice just popped out of nowhere.

I looked at the person standing next to me. She was a good looking woman with long blue hair and porcelain like skin... Her green eyes were looking directly to my eyes.

"Y-yes...?" I asked. She smiled at me.

"Is this seat taken...?" She asked. I shook my head and looked away.

She sat next to me. I suddenly felt uncomfortable around her. I heard her chuckle.

Then she said...

"Did you run away from home too...?"

"Yes..." I said, feeling ashamed. I looked at her. She was looking at me too.

She smiled again. I smiled back and asked.

"My name is Shizuru…What's yours?"

"Natsuki...Kuga Natsuki"

I knew from that moment, I fell in love...
