I know, the title is not a great matching for the storyline, but I was listening to Nirvana's Nevermind album when I wrote this so... TA-DA! It's my first multi-chaptered fiction, finally! Although I am late for updates. My agenda is always full, you know… very busy these years. So maybe I can get people very angry when it comes to updates. Also, my writing is baaad since the last time I've ever practiced English… Haven't spoke any English for 4 whole years… Sad. Just remember that I don't own -Man. Oh yes, there will be pairings in this fic, and OC as well. Enjoy!
Lenalee was finally turning 17 this year, starting a new high school year, her sophomore year. A new city, new life. Everything was perfect to start everything from zero. Along with her brother they lived on a small apartment at the streets of Sicilia. It wasn't rare at all for Lenalee to be moving from house to house, city to city and so. But this time, it was a new continent where the traditions were different, their etiquette and of course, their language.
Before Lenalee came to study in this place, she had a few Italian courses since she had expected this moving from time ago. She was ready, but there were still a few things to be done…
"Now turn left carefully around the corner." Komui instructed pointing to the left side of the boulevard. Lenalee shifted her hands below the steering wheel, turning it to the mentioned direction.
"Alright, now don't press the accelerator. Anything but that." Komui stated and held his finger up. "Park on the edge of the sidewalk." Her brother demanded while Lenalee positioned the car, not paying attention to her feet when her intention to press the brake, she pushed the accelerator instead.
Lenalee squeaked as he speed increased and before she accelerated there had been someone in front of the car to get across the street, running over him. The car jumped with a thud and both Lenalee and Komui stepped out of the vehicle once Lenalee pushed the brake quickly.
"Sir, are you alright!" Komui shouted as he ran towards the rolled man. Apparently he was an old man, judging by his white-snow hair. Not much could be seen since he had a long black jacket on and his head was leaned to the side with his hair on his face.
It's an old man, isn't he? Lenalee covered her mouth with both of her hands, letting her legs fall to the ground. A couple a people ran to the accident to watch what was going on. He was going to die anyways…
Komui pressed his fingers on the man's pulse. "He still alive…" He muttered, almost smiling while the situation was getting more and more crowded. "Someone please call an ambulance!"
"There is no need; of course I'm still alive." Stated a soft voice, exposing his silver eyes once he sat up from the ground, his hair falling down his face revealing his identity.
Komui in shock and Lenalee quietly sighed in relieve. "Are you harmed? Is everything alright?" Komui asked the young man helping him stand up. The people were muttering things, "What's this man?" "He almost got killed but he seems fine!"
"Everything is alright." The man stated, cleaning the dirt of his coat. Once up from the ground he walked away and the crowd of people started to fade. Lenalee, who was still sitting on the ground quietly, turned to her brother. "Such a relief…" Lenalee sighed and Komui went back to the car.
"What are you doing, nii-san" Lenalee asked when Komui sat on the seat she had been sitting before. "I'm driving." He replied bluntly and turned on the car, switching the keys. He waited for his sister to get on the car and drove away.
On the way, Lenalee couldn't stop remembering about the accident. Gladly, the person was alright but still, It could've been worse if he was an older man. He looked young, but what was with his white hair? Also, getting the image of his face much clearer, she remembered a scar on his left eye.
Even so, guilt was filling her up. For one thing, everything was alright but the fact that it was done still seemed bad, and there was nothing she could do to change what was done.
Lenalee thought that forgetting about this could be the best thing she could do now. So, she decided to look out from the window, watching all the people walking on the streets and the aligned shops that the car passed by until she found the person whom they've just had the accident.
There was the white-haired young man making his way to wherever he planned to go. Lenalee jumped in fear once he noticed her staring. His cold silver eyes staring back at her, expressionless with an indescribable type of aura around him, he seemed like an awkward person to anyone who ran right beside him.
She didn't get why but somehow, Lenalee couldn't turn away until the car started to drive further until he was no longer seen. Lenalee quickly closed the window and just hugged her arms, looking down to the floor.
She had the feeling that something would happen. Something that would change her life completely, good or bad but it would. Though she just asked herself, why today? Why hadn't this happened yesterday? Will I feel the same thing on the next days, months or years?
Komui parked the car at the front of the Lee residence. He got out the car first before helping Lenalee get inside their house. First thing he did was heading to the kitchen to make dinner while Lenalee, very frustrated, ran to her bedroom locking the door.
The Chinese girl dumped herself on the small bed, digging her head on the soft plushy pillow. Reflecting about what had happened she fell asleep second by second, slowly slumbering by time.
She hadn't thought of what would be by tomorrow, nor the next days. She just rested and cared nothing for the rest of the day.
The next day started off normally. On her second day of High School, she woke up at her normal time, 6:10. She took a short shower before getting on her clothes, quickly ate her breakfast and once done, she got on the car waiting for Komui to get ready for work.
Lenalee checked at her ringing cell phone, reading the text she had received. Her eyes scanned the message and read it out loud.
Lenalee! I need your help, get here a.s.a.p.!
-Miranda
The green-haired sighed and closed the cell phone pocketing it back to her backpack. "I'll have to get nii-san to hurry up then." She muttered to herself. Finally, Komui locked the front door, getting on the car and turning it on.
"It was about time, nii-san." Lenalee sweatdropped and Komui apologized. "Sorry, had to get things ready before leaving." Her brother replied, driving her to school. "So, do you like your new school?" Komui questioned, but Lenalee kept staring out the window.
"Can't say no. But it isn't definitely a yes." Lenalee replied, taking her iPod from her backpack, browsing music to put up. Komui whispered a small I see to himself and asked one more question. "What makes you think that?" He asked next smiling to his sister.
She thought for a moment until something clicked on her mind. "I've met a couple of friends and that's good. But there isn't anything exciting…" She replied and tilted her head. "Yet." Komui added and nodded. "These years are the ones that you'll never forget. Try to live them up."
Lenalee shrugged. "Well, yeah. But they seem like normal good friends. Not saying they're bad but…" Her voice first started like a statement and ended up like a whisper. Again, something else got in her mind.
"Oh. I forgot to mention that Miranda had just texted me. She said to get to school a.s.a.p." Lenalee said raising an eyebrow. "It must be urgent so, let's hurry up!" Komui said very chipper. Before either of them noticed, they arrived at the front gate, parking the car at the entrance and said goodbye to his sister.
"I'll pick you up later then." Komui waved to his smiling sister. "See you then!" She said opening the front door and walked between the hallway's walls. Still looking back, she didn't pay any attention to her path, accidently bumping onto someone.
"I-I'm sorry I—" Lenalee's sentence was cut off at her own shock to see the same boy from yesterday's accident. Eye widened she wanted to make sure that was the right person. "Y-You!" She said, merely pointing at him. Shivering she just stared.
"Is there something wrong?" He asked, raising an eyebrow. She was right. It was that person, he had such a soft and low voice she remembered from yesterday. Also, it was really hard to find a white-haired boy (at least at a young age) and the scar that crossed his left eye.
Lenalee shook her head, erasing the images that had frustrated her. "Forget it. It's just…" She sighed and left. He was left perplexed at it and shrugged. The boy went to his locker, opened it and a redheaded person popped from the corner.
"Who is she? You know her?" The guy asked and another girl-looking long-blue-haired angry guy walked in. "Che" was all he said and turned to wander his eyes somewhere else.
"I have no idea. She probably got the wrong person." The white-haired replied calmly, getting books into his backpack. "Remember Allen, if anyone here gets to know—"
"Yeah, yeah… I know, Lavi."
"Why would she even confuse you with another person?" The long-haired asked. "There isn't anyone at your age with white hair and a scar, Moyashi." Lavi nodded and Allen slammed his locker, leaving to his class once the bell rang.
"Let's go, Yuu." Said the redhead, hugging his dear friend and smiling. Out of nowhere, the blue-haired held a sword, with the word Mugen written on the dark blade. "Don't call me that!" Was all he said and they both left.
That was all for the first chapter. Do expect the second chapter since I am excited myself… Okay maybe not. Reviews are welcomed from anybody and feel free to point out my mistakes or any so. See you next update!
