Shizuku possible OOC.

Visiting Hokkaido

"Shi-chan?" I asked hoping for a response. I lifted my head from my pillow, so I could see if Shizuku was still home. *grunt* I threw my head down in disappointment.

I guess it would be easier if I started from the day Shizuku Sakurai came with me to live (temporarily) in Tokyo.

Flashback

I was visiting Hokkaido because I grew up there until I was seven. I'm thirteen, have brown, shaggy, short hair, single, and oh ya, board. I was somewhat an orphan. I had this really rich family paying for me to live in an apartment in Tokyo.

Hey, even the awesome Tokyo can get boring. Anyway, the families name was Kamiyama. I'd never met them in person, but if they were paying for me to live in Tokyo, Japan, then I guess they aren't that bad. By the way my names Haru.

I knew it was a small place, but when I got there it was smaller then I remembered. About seven houses, two stores, and a gas station.

"Thanks." I said getting off of the bus.

My dark blue eyes gazed across the small village covered in snow. Seeing it brought back good and bad memories. Good memories being my old friends, warm home with a loving mother, and great food. Bad memories being people bulling my friends, being poor, and of course, my mothers death.

As I started walking to my old house, I saw a girl sitting next to the gas station with her arms crossed trying to warm up. 'Seeing my old house can wait.' I thought. When I got close to her she looked up at me and followed me with her eyes. When I sat by her she scooted away. My skiing pants made it to where I couldn't feel the cold ice I was sitting on. I looked at her and smiled, but she kept the same serious face and I stopped smiling. Her light eyes told me she was sad, but her face told me she was also mad.

Looking up at the sky I asked, "What's wrong?"

Right as I said that she stood up and started to walk off, but I got up and went after her. "Go away whoever you are." She said not turning around.

She looked familiar and I wanted to figure out why. "Why are you-" Right then I got hit right in the face with a snowball. "Ow." I said shaking it off.

"Sorry." I heard off in the distance.

"Why are you sad?" I asked before I could get hit with another snowball.

That stopped her dead in her tracks. "H-how did you know I'm sad?"

"It was easy. I looked into your eyes. So why are you sad?" I asked.

She raised her arms and threw them down. "Its stupid, you will think I'm stupid."

"Please, I think I'm stupid. If what you did makes me feel smart, then I'll buy you some hot chocolate."

She turned around and for a time I thought she was someone else, but then I saw she wasn't who she looked like. Her blue hoodie had fur at its rim covering her black hair. I couldn't really see her so I walked up to her and pulled her hoodie down to her shoulders. I was a bit taller then her, but I knew I was her age. Stepping back a little to see her better. I could tell that for a little she was about to pull her hood back over her head, but something stopped her. Like this I saw her hair become long silky black and shined in the light. Also I saw her cream colored eyes stare into mine.

A smile came back to my face. "You shouldn't hide your beauty from the searching world."

"Who are you?"

"Ah, ah, ah," I said in a way of saying no, "answer my question first."

"Oh, ya. I accidentally locked myself out of my house and my parents don't get home for another hour." She said sadly.

"Is that all? I'm Haru." I said answering her question.

"Huh?"

"You asked 'Who are you' and I said 'I'm Haru.'" I said.

"Oh, ya. And what did you mean 'Is that all?'"

"Where do you live?"

She pointed to a house directly across from the buss station. I started walking towards it. "You need a key."

"You need a key, I don't."

When I got to the house I put my foot above the door knob and kicked. After pulling my foot out I put my arm in and unlocked it. I heard the girl from earlier come up behind me and say, "How could you just do that?"

I opened the door and asked, "Got any wood?"

"No, but there's some at the old house."

I turned around. "Where's the old house?
