Fated to Be
I decided to start on a new fanfic for Sun Garden(Ohisama En) that features the kids there from Aliea Accademy. Well…here goes nothing…
Chapter 1-New Friend
Kiyama Hiroto
"See? See! I told you! I told you! And did any of you believe me? No! Because you all think I'm some kinda tuliphead!" five-year-old Nagumo Haruya's voice rocketed away throughout the street.
I rolled my eyes. Apparently, Nagumo had received full marks for a maths test at school, which was quite impossible since he never bothered to pay attention in class. Yagami and I had a bet with Nagumo to see whether he would fail or pass the test. Of course both of us bet that he would fail. There goes a week of my savings, I thought bitterly. Why is it whenever I bet a huge sum of money, I always lose?
Nagumo skipped merrily down the snow-covered street towards Sun Garden, our home. Yagami chased after him, demanding for her money. I smiled despite the loss of my precious (it was precious to me okay?) money. My siblings at Sun Garden just filled the hole in my heart my parents had created.
As we reached Sun Garden and entered the grounds, I heard faint wailing sounds nearby. Is someone crying? I thought.
"Kiyamaaaa! Why are you standing out there? You'll freeze!" Yagami shouted.
"I'll go in soon!" I promised, before curiously following the sound of the wailing. It soon got louder and louder, until finally, I found its source. It was a boy, with green hair, sitting against a tree. He wore nothing much besides tattered clothes. He had buried his face in his knees and wrapped his arms around himself, shivering visibly and wailing.
I didn't know what to do. I had never had to deal with anyone crying, except perhaps when Nagumo bullied Kui. Hesitantly, I reached out a small hand and placed it on the other boy's shoulder. The boy immediately stiffened and his wailing ceased.
"Are you okay?" I asked. "It's not good to be out in this weather. Where are you parents?"
The boy lifted his head, to reveal black eyes filled with tears and a tear-stained face.
"T-they t-threw me a-a-a-away!" the boy's teeth chattered. "I-i-i-i-I don't k-know w-where t-to go!"
The boy looked at me pleadingly, as if I had an answer. Then it struck me. Of course I had an answer!
"You can come with me to Sun Garden! It's where children like you and me stay! You'll have plenty of friends there! No one would abandon you there!" I offered.
"R-really?"
"Mmhmm."
"O-oh o-okay. I-I'm M-m-m-midorikawa R-ryuuji…"
"Kiyama Hiroto. Now we should really get you out of this snow," I observed, laughing as Midorikawa sneezed. "Come on!" I held out my hand.
Midorikawa gripped it hesitantly at first, before more securely and I pulled him up to his feet. He stood no taller than me, a little shorter actually. Then, I began pulling him towards the doors of Sun Garden.
"Nee-san! Look who I brought home!"
That's the end. Sorry its short…hope you enjoyed!
