Please tell me how it is. I am always looking to improve my writing. Thank you ENJOY.
Prince of stride:
Here comes the storm.
"When you feel the wind , get up and run. The wind will be your compos." Ep 2
I was putting the last of my books away, when my room mate came in. I already know that we would not be getting along one bit. I looked out the window before moving to leave the room. I still had to get the lay out of my new home. Sure come break I'll be going to be back in Tokyo to work in my family's bakery, but for now I might as while learn where things are.
I started with the academics buildings then moved to the stride where the team was warming up. I subconsciously touch the pendant around my neck. Stride is what rune my family, but no matter how far I seem to push it away; it just comes back full force. Sure every morning I am running a full circlet before going and getting ready for my day, but that's because I have to stay at the top of my game. I turn around but soon notice something flying through the air towards my head. I pulled a half wall jump into a cartwheel. I didn't wait for who ever throw it to come apologies.
I had to figure out where I would be practicing gymnastic, after all that is why I had a full scholar ship here. I studied for so long in England where they have an amazing youth gymnastic program, but the down side of me doing that is I often miss things that would of been very important in most girls life. Sure in England I had some friends but not even they last long. And I had gone on a few dates before but they never ended up good.
"Hello Tsunami, here to take a look around?" one of the girls from England asked. I nodded my head before grabbing my id badge and holding it up to the scanner in front of the door. One thing I liked about Saisei, the secured here is really good. No one could really get into the private buildings. Right now the only reason she was allowed in the gymnastics building was because of my ranking, and although I was a first year. My skill just puts me in ranking with the second year students. I put my id back on my waste band, before looking around the front lobby. Most first years wouldn't even be able to make in to building, let alone be able to start training come that afternoon. I could start this morning but I thought it would be to much for me to take, practice and unpacking, I did that back in England and let's just say that I was still unpacking after the third day, which was the one day I had nothing going on.
I could hear something going on that I almost forgot no matter what no one was to see me. That was the one rule that my dad had set for me. I was a disgrace to my family just like my mother. I would still be in England had mum been alive, my mum died a few weeks ago from lung cancer. I'm okay that she no longer suffering, but sometimes I wish she hadn't left me. Sure I had my brothers, but think about it they have barely seen me since I was four, when Mum and dad got a device, I went with mum to England and Tomoe and Riku stayed with dad in Japan. Dad remarried, and turned Riku against me and mummy. Tomoe, me and him are really close.
"Oh you must be the new front desk worker?" a middle age lady asked. I pulled off my badge before handing it to her.
"Oh Ms. Hill, we're not expecting you until this afternoon." the lady said, in broken English I should mention, handing my badge back to me.
"I was just looking around. And I do speak Japanese, as it is my native tonged." I said clipping my badge back on. I than turn and left the building. Sure to most people I am been rude, but the look I get from them, it the disgust in their eyes. It's not like they haven't seen a half Japanese half English girl before. most students here come from rich families, some from other countries. My mum left me all of her family money, because I am the only one that was there when she was fighting for her life, I just couldn't use any of it until I turn 21.
I walked back to my dorm, only to find my roommate's boxes out side of our dorm room. 'While that was faster than I thought.' I thought before going into the room, what I wasn't expecting was a green hair boy lounging out on my bed. Sure I know that he this year only first year runner for Saisei high school stride team: Kaedo Okumura. But what really got my blood boiling was that he was playing with Mr. Clingly. Who is Mr. Clingly you ask, he was the last thing that my brothers had given me, he also happen to be the only thing that helps with the nightmares.
"You know it's rude to touch other people things?" I asked to irritated for me to proper speak Japanese, I reached for my monkey, only for me to notice his right leg was hanging limply by a thread. Sure Mr. Clingly was turning eleven years old, but he had never been this close to losing his leg. Okumura held Mr. Clingly out to me.
"I found your monkey on the floor it's leg was nearly ripped off." He said. I gingerly held Mr. Clingly to my chest before feeling my knees give out. I didn't hit the floor, because Okumura caught me. He just sat with me as I slightly cried. 'Why would some one do this to a poor stuff animal.' I thought once I had started to calm down.
"Thank you for pick Mr. Clingly up. And I'm sorry for snapping at you in English." I said moving to pull out my sewing kit. I was about to start fixing Mr. Clingly, when someone started banging on the door. And it doesn't help that I was shacking so much that when the person started banging I dropped my needle. I was feeling around for it and some how I ended up putting the needle into the palm of my hand. I was sitting on the floor, holding my hand palm up, biting on my bottom lip to stop my self from crying out in pain.
"Hey Kaedo, did your room mate... why does that girl have a needle sticking in her palm?" a guy with orangey yellow hair asked. I shot him a look before gentle picking the end of the needle up in between my forefinger and thumb.
"Asuma Mayuzumi this is Tsunami Hill. Tsunami Hill this is Asuma Mayuzumi. She was about to fix her monkey Mr. Clingly, when you made her drop her needle." Okumura said grabbing my hand and putting a Band-Aid over the little drop of blood. I climbed onto the top of my bed and started prepping Mr. Clingly. I paid the two boys no mind until I was almost done. I was about to make the last stitch but my hands slipped, luckily Okumura caught the needle. I watch as he pulled the thread tight but not to tight that he would hurt Mr. Clingly, he than finished the last stitch before tying it off.
"Okay that should do it. Now Tsunami be careful of these stitches, we don't want his leg to come off again. But other than that Mrs. Clingly should be fine for bed tonight." Okumura said wrapping a ace Band-Aid around Mr. Clingly's leg.
"She is a he. And no he won't be ready for bed. The stitching is only tempare solution. I will have to wait until I can get the things I need before fixing Mr. Clingly." I said putting Mr. Clingly in his spot right on my pillow. I turn to the guys and bowed my head.
"Thank you." I said, before grabbing my bag and running out of the room. I remember that I am to meet with my couch before practice started, he said he had something to talk to me about.
-Time skip-
I had tears falling down my cheeks, but to make things worst everything was hurting because some of the older girls were not happy that in placements this afternoon; I ranked first. So they though that they would 'Teach' me a lesson and beat me up while I was getting change. I had thrown my jeans and t-shirt on before running out of there when they had left. The only down side was it was dark and I couldn't tell what way was which. I reach into my bag only to found out that I didn't have my phone.
Seeing as that was a bust I head towards the only source of light I could see, which turns out to be the Stride Building. I prayed to god that there was someone here that could help me. I had to dodge the onset of rubber balls when I enter the building until I caught the orangey yellow hair of Asuma Mayuzumi, because of that I didn't notice the rubber ball come at me until the last second. I jumped up but instead of the ball hitting my head, I was struck right in the stomach. I clutch my stomach and fall to the ground coughing up blood.
"Oh shit, Okumura we might have killed your new roommate." I heard Asuma say above me. I pull my arm back and throw the ball that had hit me at Asuma full force. Which right now was nothing compared to what I normally could do.
"No he's alive." another voice said to my left. It sounded bored and like nothing interested him.
"I'm a girl." I said pushing my self up, into a sitting position. My arms could barely hold my weight, but I was lucky that my shirt was hiding the cuts and bruises. Just pushing me up was enough to send me into unconscious, but months of staying awake while my mum slept had me trained to withstand the need to rest, mum often had nightmares while she was having treatments, I would just sit there wish to something other than hold her hand.
"Ms. Hill are you okay?" a purple hair guy asked.
"I will be fine. I don't understand why every one thinks I only speak English, sure I lived there for ten years but I was born here in japan." I said but that was a bad move because it just made everything worst. I was now out of breath and just getting air in hurt, I already know about the broken ribs, but the ball must of made a piece of my rib puncher my lung.
"Reiji...blood." another person said. Okay who the heck is Reiji, and what is going on. Everything was spinning, and my heart was going to fast. 'Calm down Tommy, you need to think. Deep breath in, now breath out.' I thought about what my therapist would say if she say me like this. I reach in my jean pocket and pull out my phone. I though I forgot that, but in my hazy mind I some how remember subconsciously where I put it. As if my hands were working by them selves, I dial her number. Although I never heard what she said because everything that had happen was to much, plus my racing heart, only equal me losing all sense of what was going on. The last thing I remember before darkness was worried green eyes.
(Reiji P.O.V)
Shizuma pointed out the blood on the floor where Kaedo's room mate had landed, it was then that Asuma handed me the ball that Ms. Hill had thrown at him. There was a bloody hand print. I look at her expecting a smiling girl talking with Kaedo not her past out with Kaedo trying to talk with her.
"Shizuma call for help. Kaedo move over." I said, knowing full while that something was wrong. Just by looking she had shallow breathing, so gentle as possible I felt her chest, several ribs on her right side shifted under my touch, but when I touch her left side she whimpered in pain. Even though she was unconscious she was still in a great amount of pain, near her hand I notice her phone was lite up with someone's name on it. 'Dr. Kane.' I turn her phone on speaker.
"Hello Dr. Kane. My name is Reiji Suwa. I saw that Ms. Hill had called you." I said while looking the young girl over, just touching her arms made her whimper.
"Is Tommy okay, she was meant to call me hours ago after her practice but she never did." Dr Kane said in surpisly perfect Japanese.
"She is currently unconscious. I think something is wrong, is there anything I should know about Ms. Hill's health?" I said, trying my hardest to remain calm. I know Bantaro had taken Kaedo and Asuma into the other room, one felt guilt the other was worried, I don't who was which.
"She suffers from withdrawal and depression. The poor thing she just lost her mum not so long ago, and to be put in that horrible household, with out any form of grief therapy. I've been seeing the poor thing since she was four years old after been dragged away from her brothers. I have her eldest brother contact you he was always worried about her." Dr Kane said before hanging up. That was no help at all. I was about to turn her phone off when a someone called, my phone not her's. I picked it up only to see Tomoe Yagami's number.
"Tomoe, I am a little..." I started before he cut me off.
"What happen to Tsunami? Where is she? When did this happen? Why Tsunami? How could this happen?" He asked. I put him on speaker so I could talk as I clear out her air ways. Tsunami had started to make a weird sound. I lifted her head only to have blood come flying out of her mouth.
"She has a habit of chocking in her sleep. I just happy that you caught the sound she was making. Once she breathing propel roll her on to her side." he said.
"I can't her breathing is really shallow. I'll have to call you back we're taking her to the hospital." I said as the paramedics got there. I didn't really give him much room to fight me on that, seeing as I just hung up on him.
"What is her name?" one of the paramedics asked.
"Tsunami Hill. She's about fifteen." I said before rubbing her back as she started to chock on blood again.
"How long she been unconscious?"
"close to fifteen minutes. She's nearly chocked twice on her own blood. Once about five minutes and just now." I said laying her back down. The paramedics got straight to work on stabilizing her breathing before they moved her to the grunge. I follow after them and was about to get in when they stopped me.
"Family only." the first paramedic said.
"I am standing in for her oldest brother, who is far away." I said showing them a Tsunami's wall paper. Which was a more recent taken picture of Tsunami and Tomoe. At that the paramedics let me get in with her. I sat there holding her hand while the paramedics worked, I could tell just from the way they were moving, that something was majorly wrong. Was that why she was coughing up blood, did something happen. The paramedics started running lines to help with breath and an IV to hopeful wake her up. That and they had to get her hydrated. What we saw when they rolled up her long sleeve dark bruises and heavily bleeding cuts, litter her arm. I quickly while being as gentle as I could rolled up her other sleeve. One of the paramedics slowly pulled up the bottom of her shirt. I had to look away it was just to much, her stomach was cover in deep dark bruises but no matter what you could still see her ribs under her stretched skin. But really caught me was the little scar laying just under her rib cage.
When we reached the hospital they rushed her in for surgery, while I sat in the waiting room, I might have totally forgetting to call Tomoe or Shizuma. But that scar, how could she even step foot in the stride building with out feeling pain. And now every time I am going to see her I will be reminded of what I did to her. If I had been paying attended than my watch would never have broken and cut that four year old girl. It had lead to her whole family splitting up. I was just sitting there waiting in self guilt, when Riku and Shizuma came running over to me. Kaedo, who looked like he just woke up, walk over with a teal duffle bag over his shoulder. I look at my phone to see that it was close to midnight.
"Reiji what happen?" Shizuma asked sitting next to me.
"They had to take her in for emerge surgery, from the looks of it inter bleeding, and a puncher lung on the left side. Her arms were covered in bruises and cuts. I don't know who would do that, but she was in so much pain." I said thinking back to everything that had happen. I look at the others to see Shizuma trying to calm Kaedo down, and Riku staring at his feet. I watch as he slowly turned and ran out. I got up and follow him.
"...No Tomoe, all we know is that she is in surgery right now. Internal bleeding and a puncher lung, she has bruises every where. No we don't know what happen. Yeah okay, we'll see you soon." he said before hanging up.
"Riku, are you okay?" I asked him.
"What if she doesn't make it. I only just learn what really happen, and I never be able to tell her that I'm sorry. I am a horrible big brother, I been so mean to her for so many years." he said. I put my hand on his should and was about to say something when Kaedo came running out.
"Hey she out. Shizuma is talking to the doctor but he's not really forth coming." he said, before turning and running back in side. Riku took off before I could say anything.
"I'm sorry sir, but Ms. Hill's condition can only be shared with family." the doctor said. I was about to dial Tomoe when Riku stepped up.
"She my baby sister, meaning you can tell me right. And if not our older brother will be here in ten minutes." Riku said.
"I will have to tell he also, but I don't see any problem with that. Your sister, suffered from inter damage and has a puncher lung. She is in stable conduction, if she walks up please do not let her sit up just yet. At most we will have to keep her here for a couple of days before she can go home. She will be on bed res for about two weeks or until the pain is no longer there. But even than make sure that she is not lifting any thing heavy or strafe. The injuries look to be cause by other people so the police will want to talk with her. Now if you will please follow me you can sit with her." The doctor said before turning and leading us through hallway after hallway.
(Riku's P.O.V)
When I saw her laying there so small and weak, it scared me all over again. I slowly walked over to her bed and pushed her bangs out of her eyes.
"Hey there baby girl, everything going to be okay. Big brother here, and no matter what baby I'll protect you." I said ever so softly. I total forgot that the others where there until Kaedo put something right by her elbow. It's than that I notice it was the monkey me and Tomoe had gotten for Tsunami, although it's leg was wrapped in a Band-Aid.
"What happen, did the monkey break it's leg?" Reiji asked trying to hold back his laughter.
"No Mr. Clingly was attacked, and nearly lost his leg until Tsunami reattached it. I figure that since she was in her Mr. Clingly might as while." Kaedo said. Shizuma and Reiji laughed, I shock my head at them. I know the name was weird but she was four when we gave it to her.
"Tsunami was four when me and Tomoe gave it to her. So you have to give her that much. She also used to cling to Tomoe's back like a baby monkey." I said
"yes and you had a puppy, that you didn't let go of until you were fourteen, and father told that it went missing while we were moving when really he throw it out when we were at school." Tomoe said behind me. I turn to see a smug smile on his face.
"Say the guy who still sleeps with a teddy bear. And I know, I saved Kyo that same day." I said back before looking back at Tsunami. I under stood why Tomoe still sleeps with the teddy bear, seeing as he doesn't even stay at the house. I was also watching Tomoe out of the corner of my eyes, as he pulled something out of his backpack. It was his teddy bear, I watch Tomoe put the bear under Tsunami's arm. She whimper, in her unconscious state. Tomoe leaned down and plant a soft kiss on her forehead.
"Shh baby girl, you just rest." he said softly into her forehead. As if sensing that she was safe, Tsunami snuggled down with the teddy bear. Sure when Tsunami was a real little girl, and she had a night mare she would only ever go to Tomoe, to him she was his little bear. But when Tsunami left, Tomoe fell in depression, that at some point he just stopped caring about him self. So when he was hospitalized at the age of 12, Tsunami came right away to help talk some sense into him. At first no one could get close to Tomoe, until finally Tsunami started cry; which awoke Tomoe's brotherly instances and got him back onto the right path.
"I never know you two had a sister complex." Reiji said walking over to the other side of the bed.
"Tomoe yes, me no." I said, a little to fast. Sure I always keep an eye on her, she's famous but to me she will always be my baby sister. I looked at Tsunami's sleeping form only to see that sleep little baby again. When Tsunami was a baby; the three of us shared a bed room. Tsunami was in a crib, me a toddler bed and Tomoe a big kids bed.
"Hey Tomoe remember when Tsunami was two and she had that really bad fever, she wouldn't close her eyes afraid of the nightmare?" I asked, looking at him.
"Oh good that was the worst week ever. First Riku came down with the flu, and than Tsunami with a fever so bad that mom was always calling doctors. And the only way either of you slept was if I was in the room with you. In the end I was the one hospitalized with bronchitis." He said siding down the wall. I laughed at his face, but stopped when I heard a whimper of pain. I looked at Tsunami only to see that she had moved her arms up to rub her eyes. I gentle moved her arms away and ran my hand through her hair.
"Shh, baby girl it's okay. I know it hurts right now, but everything is okay." I said, holding her hand tightly. I watch on as Tsunami eyes open, blinking a few times to get the sleep out.
"Riku, what's going on?" Tsunami asked trying to sit up. She didn't get very far, as it just caused her more pain.
"No baby girl, you stay laying down." Tomoe said pushing down lightly on Tsunami's shoulder. She looked up at him, before she started the water works. I moved faster than Tomoe, and held her gentle to my chest.
"Shh, baby girl clam down, big brothers are here we keep the nasty dreams away." I said running my hand through her hair. Once she calmed down, I laid her back down.
"Tsunami, I know you just woke up and everything but I need to know who did this to..." Reiji said but I cut him off.
"Reiji, not now can't you already see that she scared." I said standing up and blocking him from getting closer.
"And you said that you didn't have a sister complex." Kaedo said before moving next to my baby sister.
"Riku's always had a sister complex. The only way he kept that in line was acting like a total jerk to me for six years now. But Tomoe said that when ever I showed up in a Japanese new paper, Riku would be saving the article." Tsunami said pushing the bed up so that she was leaning against the reside head. The look that I got from the others, said that no matter how much I denial this, they wouldn't believe me.
"Riku you're busted." Tomoe said before getting off of the side table.
"Okay, I'm getting a doctor, Kaedo keep Riku from killing anyone. Tsunami you just rest okay baby girl." Tomoe said before kissing both of our heads. I went to smack him, but Reiji caught my hand.
"Now Riku is that anyway to act towards your brother?" He asked. I know I putting on a bad example for Tsunami, who was still a baby in most of our family.
"your right, I'm sorry Tomoe that was wrong of me." I said bowing my head.
(Tsunami P.O.V)
I watch my brothers interact. I know Tomoe kissed Riku's head to get him going. It was just the way Tomoe has always been like this. While there was a time when he was really sick. It scared me more than anything.
"Hey Tsunami, can you tell me who did this to you?" Kaedo asked while Riku was talking with Reiji, so he wasn't paying attended to what Kaedo was doing.
"some second year girls in the gymnastic club that were mad that I ranked so high, for being only fourteen." I said looking at my lap.
"If I showed you the year book do you think that you could remember who did it?" he asked, pulling a thin book out of my teal duffle bag. He flipped to the second year pages and slowly I looked over, it took me a total of fifteen minutes to pick out the girls that hurt me. But by the end of it I was crying, into the top of Tomoe's teddy bear. I was holding it so tight that the small speaker inside started to go off.
"Smile big brother Tomo, today is going to be a good day." an eight year old me said. I had been speaking English for four years, so talking in Japanese sounded weird. I know the bear had four sayings. This was just the one Tomoe need the most. I squeezed the bear again.
"Tomoe when you feel sad gave me a hug, and you'll feel better." it said. I squeezed the bear again.
"When your feel like cry, I'll be here for you to hold." the third saying. I squeezed the bear one last time but instead of my voice it was Tomoe's.
"Remember that you are loved Tommy." the bear said.
"He spent three days trying to record something. I finally gave him the booklet." Riku said moving to sit with me and Kaedo. 'Did Dr Kane tell my brothers that the last for months I've been relapsing with my depression.' I thought. Sure most days I keep my self busy so that I didn't think about mum in the hospital fighting for her life but that didn't always work when I was home alone scared.
"Riku, I miss mummy." I said before a sob broke past my lips. Sure Riku wasn't the best with English but even he had to remember those few words. I could feel someone grab my hand before lips were place on the top of my head.
"I know Tsunami. I miss her too, but everything is alright now. Shh baby girl, calm down, the doctor don't want you getting all worked up." Riku said softly rubbing my hair away from my face. It worked for a few seconds before I just started crying again. 'What is going on with me?' I thought as Tomoe came in with a doctor. I could faintly hear beeping going off so the doctors could of already known that something was wrong. My heart felt like it was going to explode, it was beating so fast.
"Ms. Hill can you understand me?" A doctor with brown hair asked. Everything was spinning and it was getting harder to breath. I curled in on my self pleading in my mind for everything to stop. The next thing I know is Tomoe is holding me to chest like he used to when I was a little girl and woke up crying from the nightmares, I'm not sure if the doctor is happy about that.
"It's okay baby girl, listen to my heart beat. That's a girl." Tomoe said right in my ear. I was holding on to his shirt for dear life. He just keep a hold on me, swaying softly; almost putting me to sleep. I said almost, once my heart rate had gotten back to normal, he laid me back down on the bed so the doctor could check me over.
"Mr. Yagami, I understand that Ms. Hill was distressed but I ask you to reframe from doing that again. Yes it helped her, but you could of made her ripped open the stitches." The doctor said once he was sure that I hadn't caused my self more harm.
"Big brother Tomo only did that because I was suffering from panic attack." I said under my breath in English. I however did not know that the doctor under stood English. To say I was embressed when he looked at me was an understatement. One word came to mind: BUSTED.
"Yes, I under stand that. But he still has to found another the injury to you abdomen was server and we can't risk you reopening that." he said, looking at me, before he sighed and held out my brother's teddy bear to me. I was currently refused to look him in the eye so I just reached for it's front paws and pulled it towards me, but the doctor wouldn't let it go until I looked him in the eyes. He smiled at me and let poor teddy go. I hugged the teddy bear to my chest and looked at the weird man.
"Now Ms. Hill, I am going to set some minor ground rules. One: you must stay in a rested position at all times. Two: you can't let your brothers pick you up. And Three: just get as much rest as you can, until you feel as good as new." he said.
"Your weird." I said. I said it before I don't like people. It literally took Dr. Kane eight years to get me to talk with her. And the only reason I did was because Tomoe had asked me to try talking with someone about how I felt, and even than I wouldn't open up. I always think that the eyes are always betraying what a person thinks about me. Sure Dr. Kane never thought that way about me. She told me that when I might have mention that I would talked her because she was just like everyone else.
"Tsunami, that's rude..." Tomoe started but the doctor's laughter cut him off.
"You are right I am a bit weird. But most of my patients like that about me. I can under stand right now is hard on you, with you just losing the one person that was always there with you. But you need to remember that right now is a time for You to heal and get better." the doctor said.
"You don't think I'm disgusting... Your acting like Dr. Kane." I said, again kind of rude. I still will get yelled at later by Tomoe, but I don't care.
"Actually Ms. Hill, Dr Sophie Kane she my mother so we've meet before. But I'm sure you don't remember me seeing as I was a big scary giant in you young four year old mind. And I am like you half Japanese half English. " He said. Hang on scary... Giant. Dr Kane's son. Mr. Ryan Kane. I remember Dr. Kane telling me that Ryan had become a doctor, but I didn't know he had chosen to stay in Japan.
"Ryan?" I asked unsure. You see Dr Kane has a total of three son, and you would never have guest that they were triples.
"I am a little offended that you think that I am the jail bird. But you are close, let me give you a hint: I am not eldest nor am I youngest; which am I?" He said. Ryan was the oldest. And the youngest was Richard. So that left Riyuki, the middle son, he was the only one that went by his Japanese name.
"Riyuki?" I asked this time just a little unsure about my answer.
"That's right Tommy. Oh look at the time, I will be back to talk with your brothers. But I want you to go to sleep, okay." he said before getting up and leaving the room. 'Stupid Riyuki.' I thought as the morphine kicked in, he had been talking to me so that I would not notice the damned needle being enter into my arm. I fell asleep think about the first year I lived in England.
The end of Chapter 1.
So how was it. Did I misspell words; was my pace to fast. Remember I love hearing feedback, because it helps me improve my writing.
Thank you for reading. :)
