The first time Usagi met him, it was on the streets, two blocks away from her house and in front of the town clock tower.
It was just a normal evening, and the six yeared old her was just walking home after a short stroll around the town.
Everything's the same. Everyone does the same stuff every day. Don't they ever get bored with all of this? She thought. 'I guess I'll stay for a little more before going back. It's probably more boring back home..'
Just that moment, she noticed a boy standing at the other end of the street, his body leaning against the metal fence behind him, staring at the passer-bys with a strange look. The boy, probably around her age, had messy black hair which was slightly longer than average boys along with a pair of midnight blue eyes that sparkled like stars as he watched the people around him. She didn't know what he was doing, but surely, it must be very interesting if he was so intrigued by it. And with that, she made her way to him.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
The boy turned to her, scanning through her for a few seconds before replying. "I'm watching people."
She cocked her head with slight confusion. "What's so interesting about that? They're just normal people."
"That may not be the case." he chuckled. "You see that guy over there? What do you think of him?"
"Hmm... He's a business man isn't he? He wearing the same suit my dad wears when he goes to work every day.. And he looks like one too..."
"He's a teacher if I had to guess. Those books he's holding are Maths textbooks, plus... Don't you think he has that mean look every Maths teacher has?" They both stared at each other for a moment and burst out into laughter.
"My name is Usagi Tsukino, what's yours?" Little Usagi stretched out her small hand to the boy, showing the most friendly smile on her face.
"Usagi huh.. It's a nice name, but I have a better one in mind.." The boy's sly smile have her the feeling that she would not not like the name he was going to give her. And unfortunately, she was right this time.
"I'm going to call you Odango!"
"Ehh!? That's such a weird name!"
"But it's cute, isn't it?" He questioned with an innocent expression on his face which left her speechless.
"Fine then.." She surrendered, but was still a little unhappy with the name.
The boy, upon noticing Usagi's grim expression, then reached out for her hand.
"Don't be so depressed, Odango! I'll sing for you.. so cheer up a little.."
"You can sing?"
"Of course! I, the great Seiya Kou-sama is going to be the best singer the world has ever seen! All the girls on earth shall become my fan, seeing that I'm so cool.."
"You? Cool? I don't see how.." Usagi giggled.
Silence came over the two for a few seconds before Usagi broke it.
"You said it.."
"Hmm?"
"You said you're going to sing for me, didn't you? Don't go back on your word.."
He smiled. "As if I would."
