Chapter 1: Staring Her In The Face

Tokyo, Japan…it was a cold and bleak December morning as he strolled down the windy park ground. The melancholy emotionless expression was written all over his face, seeming to be unaware of his surroundings, though this young man was perceiving the setting that befell before him.

So many happy people surrounding him…too many he thought while passing little children trying to catch snowflakes in their mouths, people walking with friendly four legged companions, and lovers strolling down the same path while holding hands. The lovers did not even give this dark storm cloud a passing glance, thinking he would put a damper on their parade. It was fourteen days before Christmas and this was the one time of the year when lovers taunt him with their happiness, destroying the every essence of him and reminding him of the love he lost so long ago…

"Why do I torture myself like this?" He asked himself with harsh bitterness in his tone and clutched the neck of his snazzy black coat. "Burr! It's getting cold!" He exclaimed while brushing the snow off his matching hat and shoulders, but did not stop until the sight of one couple stole his glaze. He was standing at a distance from the young couple, appearing to be of senior high school age, sitting on a park bench, kissing. The first few snowflakes of the season were piling up on their shoulders as well, but they kept warm by cradling each other in their arms, still wrapped up in a passionate kiss.

The female companion pulled herself out. She was a thing of beauty with a bright smile so warm, it could melt the newly accumulating snow and the ice that had formed over his heart. Her vibrant brown colored eyes did not stray away from her partner, a very strong and robust teenager. His hair blonde and eyes also brown, but a much deeper hue. He tried to kiss her again, but her head turned to face the heartbroken train wreck watching them.

"Naozumi-kun?"

Hey, there! Thank you for reading the first chapter of Star Scarred Vision! I am So Happily Unsatisfied and this is my first fan fiction story. Kodomo no Omocha is the best anime/manga and I only hope I do it justice. For this series, Naozumi is going to be my focus character. I kind of like him, but hate him at the same time. R&R and check out my bio if you get the chance. Domo. Thank you. 
