Chapter 1: Star Shaped Hair Ties (Prologue Part: 1)
3rd person P.O.V.:
The young alien flew high across the skies and between the tall buildings, observing his surroundings and the chaos of Tokyo traffic below him. He grimaced at the sight of all those humans, destroying the earth they had stolen just to get more stuff to destroy it with. These selfish human are so conceited, so self observed, that they don't even notice him flying right over their heads!
Kisshu stopped and sat on top of many buildings, the polluted air was sickening him and he could barely pay attention to where he was going with all the noise from the cars below.
He is here on a mission. Well, not really, his father is. Back in Bácús, his home planet, his father was given the mission to go to Earth with his men and gather information about this planet. His father had told the family about the mission and Kisshu had begged him to him come with him. Pai and Taruto had begged too, but because Taruto is currently too young, his father had picked only Kisshu and Pai to go with him. Now, he was out, observing the planet and its condition.
His father had told him to patrol a small island nation, Japan as the locals called it, while Pai observed another nation, Europy (or something like that,) and he and his men observed other lands of this world. His father had stationed himself in a land called China, which isn't far away since they can all teleport to the ship they had come in, which is also in Japan. Pai was given a land much larger than Kisshu, probably because he is older.
Kisshu's thoughts were interrupted when he caught a small figure moving out of the corner of his eye, far below the building he is sitting on top of. Curiosity took the best of him and he flew down towards it slowly.
The moving object is a human girl, around his age by the looks of it, jumping up and down while rotating a rope around her and chanting some song. She doesn't seem to be good at whatever she doing because the rope keeps getting caught on her legs every other jump or so. Kisshu sat on one of the trees in the park, close to the bouncing girl and observed her for a few minutes. Her long, black hair was pulled up into pigtails with two hair ties with a star shaped button on them and bounced with each jump as well as her chubby cheeks.
"Strawberry… Shortcake… Huckleberry… Pie… Who gonna be… your lucky guy…" sang the girl, saying each word as whenever she jumped, "A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H-I-J-K- shoot!" The girl bunched up the rope and threw it at the ground in a fit of frustration when she messed up on the letter K. This brought Kisshu to giggle a bit, loud enough for the girl to hear and turn quickly to look at him.
"It's not funny!" she screamed.
"Is too! You're so bad at that!" Kisshu laughed back.
"Is not!"
"Is too!"
"Is not!"
"Is too!"
The banter went on for a bit until the chubby girl pouted and picked up the rope then held it up towards the eight-year-old alien. "Yeah, well if you think I'm so bad then you must be better than me!" Kisshu's face paled, he has no idea of what she was doing much less know how to do it. Nevertheless, he is not going to let an overweight human girl win.
The green haired boy flew/fell down from the tree and slowly walked over to the girl. She looked a little scared and as if she was about to ask Kisshu something, but decided against it and held up the rope still. Kisshu looked at the rope skeptically, but took it from the girl and held it by putting the two plastic handles like he had seen her do before.
'How am I going to this?' Kisshu asked himself as he stared at the two plastic handles. "Well?" asked girl, narrowing her light brown eyes mischievously behind thick-rimmed glasses, "Are you gonna jump? Or are you a lair and don't know anything about rope skipping?" Kisshu snapped at her, "I know how to do this!" 'No I don't.' And with that, he threw rope behind him while holding the handles (like how the girl did,) threw it over himself and jumped.
Three seconds later, Kisshu found himself with the colorful rope tied around his ankles, a scrape in his knee, and laughing girl beside him. "Ha- ha-ha! Ha ha ha ahahaha! You can't even do one!"
Red spread over Kisshu's face like wild fire as he sat up. "Sh-shut up! It's not funny!" he yelled at her as tears began to sting his eyes. "Is to—Ah! You're bleeding!" she exclaimed when she spotted the red liquid dripping down his shin. Kisshu looked at the wound, noticing that he indeed is bleeding. The girl knelt down and looked at the scrape then looked at him. Kisshu noticed that her eyes were a light brown that shone gold when the sun's rays hit them- they reminded him of his own eyes. "Stay here, momma has a first-aid kit in the house." She stood and started to run out of the park, "I'll be right back!" Kisshu nodded as he watched her go.
He can leave now, so why isn't he?
He can easily teleport back to the ship and heal himself, so why isn't he?
'She would be suspicious of me if I left.'he thought, remembering his father's orders to not attract too much attention to himself. 'Yeah, that's why!'
Soon, the girl was back, holding a white box with a red cross on the front. She quickly knelt down again and opened the box reaching inside for a small white packet with blue writing all over it. She tore it open and took out a wet, white paper. Kisshu watched as she cleaned the almost dried blood off his shin and around the scrape. She set the soiled tissue aside and got another packet identical to the one before. She tore it open as well and looked up at him, "Alright, this is going to sting a tinie tiny bit but don't move." Kisshu bit his lip and nodded, unsure of what she was going to do. She nodded also and unraveled the tissue and gently began to wipe off the blood on the scrape. Soon, an intense burning sensation shot up through him from the scrape.
Kisshu yelped and moved away from the girl, "Ow! Why are you doing that?" he yelled at her. It hurt, it was uncomfortable, why would humans do that to themselves? Maybe they are more stupid than he originally thought! "It's alcohol! It kills the germs in the scrape and keeps you from getting an infection!" Kisshu looked at her, perplexed. "It's true! Momma told me, so it's true!" she exclaimed. "But it hurts!"
"That means it's working! Please let me continue or the scrape is going to get infected and you could die!" Kisshu's eyes widened, "I could die?" The girl nodded frantically. Kisshu looked to the side, thinking. He doesn't want to die, but he also doesn't want to hurt. With a deep scowl in his face, he weighted the two sides against each other and after a few seconds he looked at the girl and nodded once, "Fine. But make it quick!" The girl beamed and gently began to wipe the wound once more. Kisshu hissed again and clenched his jaw and hands, "Hurry up!" The girl sped up a bit, "I'm almost… done!" she said as she put the tissue aside with the other one. "Now I just have to put this," she held up a tube with some green color on the outside, "and a bandage and I'll be all done." Kisshu stared at the tube, "Does that sting too?" She shook her head and put some of the substance on the scrape. "It keeps the germs out so that your scrape won't get infected." She responded.
Kisshu's head cocked to the side, "I thought that's what the stingy stuff is for." The girl shook her head once more, "That takes the ones that are already there out, and this one keeps them out." Kisshu's mouth formed the shape of an O to show his understanding.
Once the girl finished bandaging the scrape (she couldn't find a big enough bandage so she used a gauze pad and some other tiny white bandages to hold it in place) she patted her fluffy blue skirt and informed Kisshu that she was done. He studied the bandage and tanked her silently.
The two sat there for a few moments before the girl spoke up, "So, uh… Why are your ears so big?" Kisshu smirked, "Because I'm not from here!"
She looked at him confused, "Where are you from then?" Kisshu leaned back and used his arms to hold himself up. "I'm from the planet Bácús!" The girl's eyes widened at the word 'planet'. "Planet? Are you an alien?!" she asked, bewildered. Kisshu shook his head proudly and expecting for the girl to go off running and scared. Instead he received a surprising, "That's so cool!" Kisshu sat at up. "Cool? Aren't you scared? I'm an alien!" The girl giggled, "Not at all! I think it's cool! What's your planet like?"
They spent the rest of the evening talking about his home planet, she asked, he answered. The girl asked about the people there, what they eat, why Kisshu is here, and many other questions relating. He had to admit, Kisshu was impressed with the number of questions the girl had.
It was around sundown that Kisshu noticed how long he had been there talking to her. He quickly stood up. "I have to go!" Kisshu cried out. "What? Why? I want to hear more!" the girl asked. "My father, he will be mad if I'm not back in time." He explained. "Oh… Will you come back tomorrow?" Kisshu thought for a second, does he really want to spend any more time with this human? He nodded, "Yeah. But I have to go, right now!"
The girl beamed at him and jumped up onto her feet, "Great! I'll come back, too!" Without realizing it, Kisshu smiled joyfully. The girl began to pick up the first aid kit and the jump rope from earlier, "Well I'll see you tomorrow!" and she turned and walked the same direction she did when she went to get the first aid kit. Kisshu nodded and turned also and was about to teleport away when realized something else for the second time that day. 'I don't know her name!' He flew towards her and grabbed her wrist. He noticed how much more darker her tannish-brown skin is compared to his paper white one. "Wait! What's your name?"
The girl turned around and after a second she smiled, "I'm Kyoko but everyone calls me Kyo-chan for short." Her gaze turn curious, "What's yours?"
Kisshu let go of her wrist and smiled as well, "My name's Kisshu."
The girl's eyes twinkled, "Cool name!" Kisshu's smile widened, "Thanks!"
With that, the gold eyed alien flew off and teleported away to the ship, strangely excited for the day to come.
Hello! My name is Tazu! Thank you so much for clicking on this story and I hope you liked it! This is a prologue, which is why the characters are so young.
Sorry it's so long, I'm just tired of all these fan fictions with two page long chapters! D I will make the next chapters a bit shorter if it bothers any of you, but be ware, shorter chapters means more cliffhangers~!
I named the planet Bácús because it means bakery and I thought it would make sense, since all the aliens are named after pastries and sweets.
Though the name Kyoko has many meanings, when written with this symbol: 杏 it mean apricot.
Part two of this prologue will be up soon!
Please review!
