Way of life: Chapter 1

The Newcomer

'Oki-chan, please, come lend us a hand would you?'

Okiya looked up from his phone to face his grandmother. He quickly shoved the device in his pocket and ran to her. The teenager picked up one of the cartons supposed to be brought in the building. Okiya's grandmother whispered a 'thank you' to her beloved grandchild before turning around to face the man who would, from now on, live in one of the studios belonging to this building. Okiya's grandmother, Hana, was the owner of the cute building and considered every occupants' part of her family. Hana observed the man who was about to join her big family for some time. He was tall, holding a sleeping child in his arms. The man gently gazed at the young boy he was carrying. He seemed quite muscular, wearing a simple dark shirt with its sleeves rolled up and a pair of trousers. His long silver hair was loosely held by a rubber band. But, the most important features he had were his eyes. The young father had golden sharp eyes that would probably won't show any great affection except for his son. Hana's first impression of this new neighbor was first of all that he was incredibly handsome. However, she quickly noticed that this man had more to it than just looks. He seemed to be well-educated, cultivated, observant, polite, cool and somehow aloof. All these words popped into her mind while she observed his gestures and movements. Hana warmly smiled at the man and bowed to him, leaving him with Okiya.

Okiya obediently did as his grandma asked him to. Carrying the box, he started walking in the entrance's direction. The young man didn't pay much attention to the newcomer and just took on doing what was excepted of him. Okiya, after a few trips back and forth and with the help of his new neighbor, managed to take all the boxes to the studio. At the little apartment's door, Okiya deeply sighed, obviously exhausted after his task done. Facing the ground until now, he lifted himself to look at Hana and the young father, chatting together.''Now, Otori-san, we should leave you to make yourself at home. Your son is surely tired, I'll get snacks for him and prepare dinner for both of you!'' The father politely bowed his thanks to the older woman ''My son and I will be in your care from now on. Please, don't bother yourself with us, we do not wish to trouble you any more than this.'' Hana motherly giggled ''Don't even worry about it. I'm happy to be able to do it.'' with that, Hana bowed and left the man with his child.

''So, who's the man grandma?" asked Okiya just as he passed through their studio's door. ''His name is Otori Tsubasa. It seems that he's a doctor and that he recently started raising his son alone after his divorce.'' the teenager pitied the man. Even though it's common these days, being a single dad or mom is difficult. Furthermore, divorces are most of the time painful. People usually feel betrayed by their other half and it leads to a complete breakdown of the solid bound they thought they shared. Hana sensed Okiya's confused silence.'' Well, we don't know much about his life from before. The only pieces of information we have about him are the ones excepted in administrative formalities. We will surely get to know him.''

The young boy left his grandmother taking care of the snacks. All of this moving in matters broke him in sweats. He blindly grabbed some clothes and shut himself in the bathroom. Undressing with laziness, he quickly took a look at his reflection in the mirror. Lately, he had dark circles forming under his hazelnut eyes. Exams period got the better of him. His just recently lively wide eyes were always cheerfully smiling in his stead when his mouth did not. However, the only thing that would beat happy and carefree Okiya would be exams.

The teen ran a hand through his creamy brown hair. He sighed.

With one last effort, Okiya dragged himself to the bathtub, where he sank in along with his worries.

''LET HER GO! YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE!''

Later in this evening, cries and violent bumps could be heard from the 3rd floor. Some residents from the floors above and below hurriedly came to check on the situation. Woken up by this sudden hubbub, the silver-haired doctor tried calming down the child who was still sleeping beside him until seconds ago. Nursing him back to sleep and closing the door of the bedroom. The man worriedly left, wondering about what was happening.

At the same moment, a little girl desperately ran down the staires crying her whole soul out, muttering words cut by her constant hiccup. Hana rushed to her side, holding her in her arms while her grandson clenched his fists until they turned white. His blood was boiling from anger and he quickly decided to take action, immediatly followed by other men.

Tsubasa became even more nervous at the sight of a child crying. He made up his mind and decided to string along with the men who followed Okiya. As he climbed up the stairs two by two, the man could hear a woman's cry and a man's shouting. On the 3rd floor, a horriying sight was offered to the group of men. They quickly took an initiative to keep the furious man from the woman he decided to make a victim of his heavy drinking. He was obviously drunk but still, some kind of madness and hatred burned in a ghastly way. The onerous smell of disgusting hard alcohol weighted on the air around him. Altough he was being held down by three of the strongest men known in the building, the man was still riotously struggling to free himself from their grasp in a desperate way to catch and hit the woman he was so madly beating just now. His aching breathing resonnated in a suffocating silence. His glare filled with rage didn't leave the woman who was now in Tsubasa's care.

The scene he just witnessed was something he couldn't bear. Leading the young woman in Okiya's care, he calmly turned toward the man obviously exhausted but still trying to free himself and calling the woman back in many outrageous ways. Facing him, he glared at this creature drowning in a universe of madness and hatred, mixed with a grout of alcohol and obscenity. In a quick motion, the silver-haired man gave the drunkard the punch right on his chin. The blow made the madman lose one teeth, which feel on the ground in a tinter. The sallow pearl was covered in blood. This same blood was flowing from the man's mouth and the punch was hard enough to also make his nose bleed. The new object of his hatred became the young doctor who deeply glared at him with his fierce golden piercing eyes. Leaving the man in the residents care he joined Hana who was still trying to solace the little girl and the young woman. Okiya just watched the scene with a flustreted eye. He sat down next to their upper floor neighbor who was held in a protective hug by another young teenager, nearly the same age as Okiya. He had his jade eyes full of concern over the young woman he was comforting. The boy looked slightly more muscular than Okiya with a face that gave of a hint of maturity. Normally, this same face would probaby wear a playful and teasing expression with that same hint of ripness. 'Mom...everything is okay now. It's over.'. He knew that something as serious as that wouldn't be solved in some easy frivolous way. But, today, that man went to far. He was unusually brutal and he looked entirely consumed by insanity.

Tsubasa was still standing, looking at the scene front of him. He heard the jade-eyed boy calling the young woman, "mother" countless times, and so did the little girl. A woman as young as she couldn't have had a boy his age could she? He was know wondering many things about this woman. Giving it a second thought, he didn't even take a look at her face. He also asked himself many things as to who was the man she fell victim to, her name, wetheir they were actually husband and wife. The golden-eyed man was brought back down to earth the moment he felt the gaze of the green-eyed teenager toward him.'Thank you.' murmured the teen visibly drained. Tsubasa just answered with a nod. Then, he directed his attention at the crying girl.'Manager, may I suggest to take care of her?'. Hana, looked at the man then softly kissed the little girl on the forehead. 'I can't ask you to do this much' she replied with sorry eyes. Tsubasa brushed it off and persisted remind her that other than being a doctor, he was before all a father. After a moment of hesitation, she agreed to leave the little girl called Ameko in the her neighbor care.

The woman ceased her soft crying full of despair and wiped off what was left of any traces of her sobbing. She lifted her head and freed herself from her son's embrace,'It's okay Dan. I'm okay.' The woman gave a weak smile to her son. Her lips were still red and a taint of blood was noticeable just down her lower lip while some bruise could be seen all over her body along with some scratches and really obvious marks. Her eyes were as blue and as deep as the ocean. Despite what she has just suffered, she only cried a moment and got a hold of herself. She slightly let out a laugh while brushing of her chocolate bangs from her eyes. The woman had delicate young features and a lady like aura. She seemed to be someone really likeable and adorned by the other residents.

Okiya looked at her in a really concerned and affectionate way. Tsubasa noticed that. The moment he thought that, the young mother lifted herself and turned toward the man who helped her earlier. She sincerly thanked him in a grateful bow.''Thank you again.''

There. There was it. Why did her voice made his heart skip a beat. Why woud he even think that. A grown man such as him couldn't feel something as childish as that. He stared at the woman facing him and nodded. ''It's nothing. I couldn't not do anything in that kind of situation.'' She gave him a thankful smile. There again. Why does it make him feels that way anyway. 'Beautiful' is what he thought at the moment. He tried to brush it off again.

At that instant, the group of men who took care of the insane, came down, leaving two of them with the drunkard. One of them said ''I'm gonna call the police. Madoka-san, you shouldn't worry anymore about being near him. This time they should take him with them.''

The young woman asnwered with a whole hearted thank you and bowed to the residents.

So, How did it turn out?
