Chapter 1: And then there was him…Beauty & Grace
POV: Alek
The sun had just started to rise as a boy looking to be about 16 with black hair and blue eyes steps into the train station and sat down on a bench near by. Looking around him he found that the place was quite empty. He waited for the train and while doing so had tided himself up fixing his button down shirt and tightening the belt on his jeans. He then after pulled out his wallet from his back pocket, as he opened it only to reveal an ID with the name Alek H. Takara. As the train rode into the station it made loud breaking hiss notifying Alek once again of his reason for his being here.
Alek got up and dusted himself off and padded himself down to make sure he hadn't forgotten anything. Once finished he got onto the train and took his seat, looking to make sure no one was staring he pulled a letter out of his side pocket and began to read. It wrote; "Dear Aleknii-kun, I'm glad to hear you were coming back to Japan, and to think that you'll be going to Ryoo High as well. All of it was great news I've already talked to my parents about it and they said it would be all right for you to stay here with us. You probably don't have any were else to go and I thought it only would only be normal that I try to help. Besides I haven't seen you since you were in elementary school. Sincerely, Miyuki"
Smiling once he realized the name his cousin had given him, he put the letter back in his pocket thinking "Wow, just like old times huh, just remember I'm not eight anymore" and as he finish the thought he reached his stop and got out. Looking to make sure no one was fallowing him he started his walk towards the Takara house he remembered. "This is gona be one hell of a year" He thought as he looked at the sky with a smug smile.
POV: Minami Iwasaki
Minami Iwasaki, a quite girl and the next door neighbor of the Takara family was sleeping soundly until she heard her alarm go off. Instantly she had her eyes open as she flung the covers off of her and ran to the other side of her room tumbling and landing with the alarm now successfully turned off and her hand on top of the small machine. Knowing how common it was for her to do this she simply stood back up and started to get ready for her first day of school at Ryoo high.
Walking downstairs to see Cherry sleeping on the floor her first instinct was to wake him up. As the minutes went by nothing worked, she tried tempting him with food, nudging him, poking his nose and even called his name. Finally she got up and Cherry opened his eyes. Shocked at the sudden turn of events Minami ran into the kitchen to get dog biscuit thinking "If this works he might start eating again" then ran back in and handing it to the lazy dog whom to her surprise had slowly bit-into it and started eating. Feeling victorious she left the house with bit of a bounce in her step and a slight glow in her normally emotionless eyes.
She stepped out of the gates to get some fresh air before heading out everything was great she thought until a boy around the same age and height ran into her, falling to the ground instantly and dropping her bag. Seemingly perfect in his form the boy had caught himself as soon as he was bumped and immediately put a hand out to help the girl up. As she reluctantly took his hand and was helped up the boy said "My name is Alek Hiroshi Takara, I would like to know your name but first it would be nice know if your okay or not, its unlike me to be so clumsy" before she could say a thing he held up her bag and said "Oh, and I think you dropped this"
"Thank you… um, Alek you said your name was" A now calmed Minami answered
"The one and only, at your service~" He said with a bow as he realized he was talking to a girl, and now feeling even more guilty because of it.
"And I'm fine, it was just a trip" She said now a little more serious
Noticing the slight change in pitch he stood up and gave a simple "Good bye then, I believe we both have somewhere to be" and left with almost a sprint as he made his hasty get away. "That was close; I almost insulted my new neighbor the first day I was here… DAMN! I forgot to get her name... she seemed nice too." He thought to himself as he ran to the gates of the Takara house. Opening the door the first thing he saw was an almost panicked Miyuki waiting for something nervously. Assuming she hadn't noticed him yet he call out "Ello, govna how you doin this fine morn" in a British sounding accent before closing the door and entering the living room.
Miyuki looking very obviously surprised answered in almost a shout "Alek-kun! It's almost time for school and here's your uniform and the restrooms over there and you need to change so we can go or we'll both be late!"
"Cool down there, I'm goin I'm goin" Alek said as hurriedly as grabbed the uniform and left to change. Stepping out in almost a pose Alek was quickly urged to come with by Miyuki. As they both stepped out the door Miyuki said "It's been so long, you got transferred to that nice American school and I almost thought I wouldn't see you again".
"Yea, it has been awhile hasn't it" the taller boy said sheepishly.
"Darn!" Miyuki said as she slammed her fist in to her palm.
"What is it?" Alek said, now very interested in what the pinkette had to say.
Miyuki looked at him seriously and said "I forgot lunch today worrying about you getting here". The rest of the walk was taken in relative silence. Once they got to the school they simply split to their separate paths.
POV Patty & Hiyori
The two Otaku's were getting along nicely for their first meeting, talking about different fanfic and their newest anime. It was a great day to for the two and nothing could be better than finding a new friend. Until roll call was started nothing happened big enough to take their attention off each other, but at that very moment in time the teacher had called the name "Alek". With both of them being who they were it hadn't occurred to them what name had been called then the teacher said the name a second time "Alek" the teacher said stretching the "E" in his name. Hiyori froze in curiosity as she realized their might be two non-Japanese students in their class and started to listen in closely.
Meanwhile, Patty was stunned as she heard the name, "Alek was in my old school, how could he be here?" the stunned blonde thought. At that moment the blue eyed boy ran into the room immediately throwing a paper of sorts onto the teacher's desk. The teacher read the paper and said "Okay, go take your seat". The boy took his seat and turned his head to scan the rest of his class until his eyes met with another's making him jump back almost falling out of his seat. "Whoa, who are you?" the boy said confused as to whom had there face so close to his.
"It's me patty! Remember, from middle school!" the now over excited patty yelled.
Alek, putting his hands into the air as if he was trying to show he was unarmed said "Sorry boss, didn't know you were there, but how bout I give you an offer you cant refuse" using a horribly done Italian accent.
"I don't know, what kind of deal we talking here" patty said with just as bad an accent
Suddenly much more animated with his hands Alek spoke "How bout I forget a little something, and you forget a little something and together theirs no more something something."
"That works" breaking out of character instantly
And so did Alek as he said "good that could have been bad" looking down the whole time. "Ahem!" the teacher said catching the two students attention and making them get back in there seats. The rest of class till lunch went uneventfully.
POV Minami Iwasaki
As the girls gathered into there group Minami noticed the boy within it and was shocked to find that he was the same one from earlier and he was looking at her of all people. At that moment he got up and walked towards her saying "I'm sorry for earlier, but I never got your name" going into a rather good looking pose near the end.
Minami shuttered and her face reached a light shade of pink as she answered "My name is Minami Iwasaki it's nice to meet you." the boy then sat down and continued his conversation with the group. Yutaka in the mean time had started a conversation with her saying "So, I was with my cousin and she asked me if you were supposed to eat a cornet from the fat end or the skinny end… do you know?"
Minami looked down at the small girl and said "I'm afraid I don't know"
"That's too bad" spoke the salmon haired girl
Minami looked at her seriously "Do you want me to find out for you."
"No, I think I'll be fine, thank you" Yutaka said sheepishly surprised at the closeness of the mint haired girl too her as the question was asked. Then an awkward silence fell on the whole group as the lunch ended and they all went back to there seats. The class once again went uneventfully. After school Alek left class to leave with Miyuki, but while waiting for her to get out of her school council thingy Patty sat on the bench with him "So… How's it been buddy, long time no see" patty said placing an arm around his neck.
"Patty… we transferred at the same time, starting and ending in the same schools… it's only been a summer since we talked." The boy said almost saddened at the girls small memory.
"oh yea… well I missed you either way, and now your back!" she said now completely hugging him. "Calm your self Alek, its only patty, she's your friend nothing more" the boy thought to himself turning a light shade of pink from the thought. Just then they heard a certain blue haired otaku yell from beside the now returning Miyuki "Patty! Are you cheating on me?"
"No!" said Patty as she gave Alek a small peck on the cheek
Alek in response turned a bright shade of crimson as he almost collapsed saying "P-P-Patty, I don't suppose you could muster up the courage to warn me next time" all while holding his nose almost as if to stop a nose bleed that thankfully didn't happen.
"Oh sorry" said patty as the rest of the group gathered around to make sure she didn't kill him
"Who's all this" Alek said his composure somewhat regained.
"Well, this is Konata Izumi, Kagami Hiragi, and Tsukasa Hiragi" Miyuki said pointing at each one respectively.
"Well that's nice" Alek said getting up from the bench and ending Patty's large smile. With a slight bow he said "My name is Alek Hiroshi Takara, it's a pleasure to meet all of you" turning his Japanese bow into a British bow near the end. "You too" they all said in an almost scary unison that creeped out the other three.
"Is there any thing you had planed tonight" Alek said to no one in general
Patty replied "Nope wanna hang out with me? Catch up on old times."
"I sense a flag being raised~" said Konata as she made weird arm motions towards the two.
Alek quickly glared at the otaku and then turned back to Patty "Sure! You can stay with us for the night." At that moment he gestured toward Miyuki and Himself.
Before Patty could say a word Konata interrupted "Flag Accepted!" ending the statement with a fist pump. Every thing was growing silent until Kagami said "So, Alek whats with the name are from America or something?"
"Nope, my parents just named me that" Alek said with pride
"That makes no sense…" Konata, Kagami, Tsukasa and Patty all said in unison
"You don't have to remind me…" the boy said, his face melting into blue lines.
The rest of the walk went relatively silent until they got back to there respective homes except for Patty.
