"Okay, okay I'll be back shortly." Phoenix Dante sighed to herself. It seemed that her parents were out on business again, which was rather normal, but it left her having to deal with their house all to herself. Not that they didn't have maids and butlers, they had plenty of them. It was just that she was more willing to take care of the house then having other people do it for her. Perhaps it was because when she was living back in the United States she had, had to work hard for her keep.
The brunette walked down the sidewalk, her mind wondering. It had been almost a month since she'd moved here to Japan, so far she'd liked it. Though there wasn't much for her to do at her house, thankfully school would be starting up soon. School…. I'll get to see them again…she smiled. She already had friends here, she just hadn't had time to go and visit them yet. But she was sure once school started she'd be able to see them again, and then perhaps she'd be able to really meet some people. So far her month of living here had been nothing but unpacking and getting accustomed to life in a new country. Thankfully Phoenix liked to travel and live in new places.
It was only a matter of hours before Pheonix was in the market area, yes, it had been a very, very long walk; which is why she had chosen to walk. Exercise was nice! Plus it would help her get used to her surroundings, which was totally something she needed to do, along with pick up some melon and soda from the store. It's not to bad here really… I just wish there was a bit more to do, it's not like I can continue to run the house while ma and pa are gone. Surely the kid's are going to go crazy… Phoenix winced at the thought of her younger siblings going out of control. It would be terrible, absolutely so.
"Excuse me! You there… Miss Pink Streaks!"
"Hu?" Phoenix blinked and walked straight into a pole causing her to flail before falling to her knees. "Fantastic…" she muttered under her breath before looking back at the person who had been calling out to her.
"Are you okay?" It was a girl, looking to be around the age of ten with long blond hair and green eyes. She was dressed really nicely which made Phoenix assume that she was of the higher class.
"I'm fine, just wasn't paying attention." It happened all the time; her running into things. Not that she was super clumsy, but once she got into her own little world there wasn't generally much hope of bringing her back to the world of reality without some sort of pain. "So, is there something I can help you with?" she asked as she slowly got back on her feet. Her gray-blue eyes moved from her clothes -which she'd been dusting off- and to the young girl before her whom seemed to be hesitating slightly. "Is something wrong?"
"Oh, nothings really wrong.. But um… you see, I kind of lost my ball.." The girl clasped her hands in front of her and fidgeted slightly. "It fell in the yard… over there.." She pointed to a rather large gated yard, with an even larger mansion. (It was then that it dawned on Phoenix that she wasn't even close to town.)
"And you'd like me to go get it?"
The girl nodded.
"Why don't you just go ring the gate bell? I'm sure they won't mind."
"But… the scary people liver there."
Phoenix arched an eyebrow, "The scary people?" she sighed. Seriously? The scary people? And so this little girl was asking her because she was older? Was that why? Well it didn't matter because the look on the young girl's face was more then enough to persuade Phoenix to go and get the ball. "I'll do it, just give me a sec okay.." She slowly turned and made her way to the gate to the yard. How do I let myself get wrapped into this? And what about these- Her eyes fell onto the address and she paused. There is no way. She wanted to laugh. Here she was, going to retrieve a ball for some strange girl from a classmate that she wasn't supposed to meet for another couple of weeks. Who would have thought? This should be really interesting, that's for sure.
