Saya Otonashi and the four elements.
Chapter 1, new country, new school
Saya looked out the window of her old home, knowing that this was the last time she would see it. Diva ran through the bedroom door. "Neesama," she sang. Saya turned to her little sister. Diva was excreted they were moving to Okinawa Japan in just four hours from now. Saya knew that her sister was the reason. Anshel had pulled some strings. Diva was a big time singer in France. Saya was her older sister but wasn't a singer.
Saya never found comfort in singing. She was glad to move away from their home. Saya didn't have any friends. Anyone that tried to make friends with her were only interest to get know Diva because they were her fans. Diva loved her sister to no end but when her fans would use Saya to get to her that made Diva mad. Saya was a sweet girl but to everyone else she was their ticket to see Diva. Saya wouldn't say that she hated having Diva as a sister. Saya loves Diva to no end too but it was hard sometimes.
Saya didn't trust anyone in their hometown because people would use her to see Diva. "What is it Diva?" Saya asked. Diva smiled and leapt onto the bed. "I can't to make new friends," she said, "This is the start of something new." Saya just smiled. Diva childish behavior always put Saya in a good mood. Diva lay down on her back at Saya's feet. "Who knows," she said looking up at her sister. "Maybe you can make some friends too." Saya only hoped that was true. It might turn out like everywhere they went where Diva was the central of attention not Saya. "I'm just glad to get out of this town," said Saya looking out the window again.
Diva nodded and rolled over on her stomach. "Well, at least we have each other," she said smiling. Saya nodded smiling. "Yeah, at least we have each other." The two sisters laughed. "Saya! Diva!" a voice called from the bottom of the stairs. "Come on down we got to get going!" "Okay Joel!" they both called back. They got up and grabbed their things then ran down the stairs to where their father Joel was waiting. Anshel was there too. Saya groaned when she saw Anshel. She hated Anshel. He wasn't her favorite person in the world. He always tried to change her. Diva was his favorite twin.
Joel loves both of the twins very much. "Anshel is here to see us off," said Joel. Saya growled under her breath. Anshel did nothing. "I will be there soon enough to visit," he said. Diva smiled, Saya frowned. Joel picked up a suitcase and carried it to the car. Anshel helped them put their things into the car. He gave them all something. Joel got the notes that Anshel had made for him. Diva got a beautiful necklace. Saya got a wore out T-shirt. Saya groaned at her gift. "A lady doesn't compliant about their gifts," said Anshel.
They landed in Okinawa around noon. Saya had chosen her new room. Diva was next to her sister. Joel had brought a Japanese-like home. Saya liked the idea living in a Japanese style home. Diva found it interesting living there. Saya stepped out the house with the garbage bag in her hand. She placed it on the side of the sidewalk in front of their home. She saw a boy with reddish brown hair stepping out from the restaurant next door.
"Hey," he called. "Hello," said Saya smiling at him. "I haven't seen you around here before," said the boy, "You new to the neighborhood?" "New to the country," said Saya. The boy smiled and nodded. "Okay that's cool," he said, "I'm Kai Myagusuku," Saya smiled at him. "I'm Saya Otonashi and I just moved here from France." "France, Huh?" said Kai setting the bag down onto the sidewalk. "It's nice to meet you Saya." "You too Kai," she replied. Diva stepped out the house. She looked at Kai. "Oh, neesama," she said turning to Saya. "Who is your friend?" Saya smiled at her little sister.
"Diva," said Saya, "This is Kai Myagusuku, right?" "Yeah," he said. "Hi," said Diva, "I'm Diva Otonashi, Saya-neesama's younger sister." Kai looked to Diva then at Saya. "Are you guys twins?" he asked. "Yep," said Saya, "People tell us apart from the length of our hair and our eye colors are different too. Diva has blue eyes and I have brown eyes." Saya's hair was shorter than Diva's. Kai just nodded. "What school are you guys going to?" he asked. Saya thought about it for a moment. "Koza High?" she said.
"I go there," said Kai. Diva and Saya smiled. "Maybe I can show you girls around school and the town?" he said. Then a little boy that looked to be fourteen stepped out from the restaurant. "Hey Riku," Kai called to him. The boy ran toward him. "Saya, Diva, I would like you to meet my little brother Riku." "Hello," said Riku smiling bowing his head to them. "Hi," said Diva smiling. "It's nice to meet you Riku," said Saya. "Riku and I live next door," Kai explained, "Our dad runs the restaurant there." He pointed to the restaurant.
"I see," said Saya looking to the restaurant. "Omoro?" she said. "That's the name of the restaurant," said Riku. Joel came out and smiled at the two boys. "Joel," said Diva. "This is Kai and Riku Myagusuku," said Saya, "They live next door." "It's nice to meet you boys," said Joel, "I am Joel Goldscnidth." "Hello Joel-san," said Riku. "It's nice to meet you too sir," said Kai. A man stepped out from the restaurant. "Hey dad!" Kai called.
The man walked toward them. "This is our dad," said Kai. The man smiled. "I'm George Myagusuku," said the man. "Hello George-san," said the girls. Joel shook his hand. The Myagusukus were very nice to them. Kai was seventeen years old and Riku was fourteen. Saya and Diva loved talking to them. Saya had finally made some friends with Diva too. Kai and Riku weren't into opera which was what Diva sang. They heard her sing and they said she was good. Saya loved it. Kai said that he would walk with them to school until they got use to the route. That made them feel a whole lot better.
Saya, Diva and Kai were walking to school the following day. 'So," said Kai, "What do you girls think about Okinawa so far?" "It's so beautiful," said Saya. "This so peaceful too," said Diva. Kai laughed. "I know, Okinawa is famous for its nice weather," he said, "But it's just like anywhere else though." "Kai!" a voice called out. Kai froze in his tracks. A girl with long brown hair ran toward them. "Great," Kai groaned. "Who is that?" Diva asked. "My girlfriend," Kai replied. Saya looked at him surprised.
The girl stopped and eyed the twins. "Who are you two?" she asked. "I'm Saya Otonashi and this is my sister Diva. We just came here from France and Kai is showing us the way to school," Saya replied. "So, they're new?" the girl asked Kai. Kai nodded. The girl turned back to them and smiled. "I'm Mao Jahana, Kai's girlfriend," she said, "It's nice to meet you girls." Saya and Diva nodded. "So, why are you showing them the way to school?" Mao asked. "They moved right next door to me," said Kai. "Okay, then," said Mao grabbing a hold of Kai's arm. They continued walking down the sidewalk.
When they got to school; Saya eyed a senior with long dark hair and light blue eyes, lighter than Diva's. He looked so handsome. Saya recognized the blonde haired boy standing beside him. "Who is that hot guy?" Diva asked. Kai and Mao looked to see the two boys standing there. "Oh, that's Solomon Goldsmith," said Kai. "We know who Solomon is," said Diva, "Joel is friends with his older brother Anshel and he has a crush on Saya-neesama." Saya groaned as Diva brought it up. "I mean the guy standing beside him."
Kai looked again. "Oh, you mean Hagi Black," he said. "Hagi Black?" Saya replied. Kai nodded. "Yeah he and Solomon hang out together all the time," said Mao, "Hagi and Kai were good friends at one point." "That's ancient history," said Kai, "He and I stopped hanging out about two years ago." Saya looked at Hagi. She felt strange around him. Her body felt hot like she was on fire. Mao sighed. "You and Hagi use to get into fights all the time, right?" she asked. "Yeah," said Kai, "Like I said it's ancient history."
Diva saw Solomon looking their way. She smiled and grabbed Saya by the wrist. "Since we know Solomon," she said, "We'll go say hello." "Okay," said Kai, "Just head to the main office afterwards." He and Mao walked off. Saya groaned. The last thing she wanted was for Solomon to act like they were a couple. "Hello Saya, hello Diva," said Solomon when he saw them. Diva hugged Solomon. She liked Solomon but he liked Saya. He tried to hug Saya but Saya just shook his hand. Hagi noticed how she was acting toward Solomon.
"Girls," said Solomon, "This is Hagi, Hagi this is Saya and Diva." "Hi ya," said Diva to Hagi. Hagi nodded. "Hello," said Saya but for some reason it was hard for her to speak to him. Hagi nodded again. Saya could hear her heart pounding against her chest. Diva shook Hagi's hand. When Saya touched his hand to shake it; she felt sparks shot out from her hand to his. Her face turned red. Hagi did nothing more but shook her hand. Solomon smiled at them. Diva noticed the look on Saya's face and giggled.
Solomon chuckled. "Hagi has that affect on women," he explained wrapping his arms around Saya. Saya pushed him away. Diva laughed even harder. They didn't notice the look on Hagi's face when Solomon put his arms around Saya. He felt like ripping Solomon's head his shoulders but when Saya pushed him away he felt better. Saya ducked as Solomon tried to kiss her. His lips hit Diva's cheek just like Saya had planned. Diva mouthed "thank you" to Saya. Saya wrinkled at her sister. Solomon didn't seem too happy.
Hagi turned his head so Solomon wouldn't see the smirk on his face. Saya titled her head to the side. The bell rang for class. "See you later Solomon," Diva called out. "Goodbye girls," said Solomon, "See you later." Saya was to get away from Solomon. Diva couldn't stop laughing. "What's so funny Diva?" Saya asked nervously. "You like Hagi," she cried out. Saya's face went red. "I do not!" she shouted. Diva giggled again. "Yes you do," she said, "It's written all over your face." She skipped to the main office.
Saya kept her hands in her pockets as they walked down the hall. They got their schedules for class. They headed to English. Diva opened the door. Saya froze in the doorway when she saw Solomon and Hagi standing there. "Wow," said Diva, "We have a class with Solomon!" Solomon saw them in the door way. Saya groaned as he waved to them. She saw Kai, Mao and some of their friends hanging out at the back of the room. Saya led Diva to the back to where Kai and Mao were. Kai and Mao waved to them when they saw them.
"Saya, Diva," said Kai, "This is Kaori, a friend of ours." Kaori waved to them Diva smiled and waved back. Saya smiled too. Hagi gestured to Kai to come over by them. "I thought you don't hang out with Hagi anymore?" Diva asked. Kai looked at her. "Well, sometimes we hang out but like we use to." He walked over and talked to them for a bit. Soon the teacher came into the room. "Alright class," he said, "let's have a seat." The students took their seats. The teacher had Saya and Diva come up to the front.
The teacher gestured to them. "Okay class we have two new students joining us from France. Please give a warm welcome to Saya and Diva Otonashi." Everyone liked to see the twins. Saya eyed Hagi looking at her. Her face turned bright red as se jerked away. Diva giggled. "Diva," said the teacher, "You can have a seat next to Solomon." Diva sat next to Solomon. Saya could see the look on Solomon's face. He loved Saya but he liked hanging out with Diva too. "Saya," said the teacher, "You can sit next to Hagi."
Saya's face turned even redder as she took her seat. Hagi was looking out the window. She looked over at him brushing. Why is this happening to me? She thought to herself. Hagi looked at her making her face go even redder. She quickly turned her head. Hagi sighed then looked back to the window. Saya looked back at him. Her eyes fell onto his lips. They were full with temptation. The teacher started the lesson but Saya's mind wasn't on the lesson. She was thinking of Hagi and kissing him. Her got redder and redder as the image came to mind. Hagi was writing down what was on the board.
Saya wanted to lean toward him and kiss his lips so bad but couldn't. She didn't know him well enough to be in a relationship with him. Hagi was so handsome, she couldn't help but stare. "Are you alright?" he asked looking over at her. His voice made a shiver down her spine. The warmth of his body hit her skin. She felt like she could faint any moment now. Hagi was very different from the boys back in France. Saya couldn't help herself. She forced herself back from doing something at she would regret.
She looked over at Diva. She was taking notes with Solomon looking over her shoulder to help her. Saya felt she had to something get Hagi's attention. Hagi leaned forward toward her. Saya felt her face get redder. Hagi knelt down and picked up a pencil that she had dropped. "You dropped this," he said handing it to her. She took it from him. A sensation of sparks flew into the air as they touched. She quickly pulled the pencil out from his grip. They were both brushing. They turned their heads away from each other.
The bell rang for lunch; Saya got to her feet. Hagi did the same. She looked at him still brushing. Solomon walked over to Hagi. "Say, Hagi," he said, "What you say we invite Saya and Diva to join us for lunch?" Diva smiled. "That would be cool, right neesama?" she said turning to Saya. "I guess so," Saya replied. Diva cheered making Saya giggle. They followed Solomon and Hagi up onto the roof. Diva looked down at the school.
Kai, Mao and Kaori were here for lunch too. Saya sat down next to Hagi. Her face went red once she realized that she was an arm length away from him. Kai and his friends sat down with them. Solomon tried to sit down next to Saya but Diva sat him down next to her. Kai sat between Kaori and Mao. Saya tried to eat but having Hagi next to her made it hard for her to eat. She kept looking up at him then down at her food.
Diva noticed her sister not eating. That worried her; Saya was the big eater and for her not to eat meant something was wrong. "Neesama?" she said. Saya looked at her sister. "Are you feeling alright?" Solomon noticed it too. Hagi looked at Saya. "Is something?" Hagi asked. Saya's cheeks turned bright red. "Oh, I get it," said Mao. Diva and Kaori got it too. Kai and Solomon were confused. "Saya likes your friend Solomon," said Mao. Kai laughed at Saya. "Every girl has a crush on Hagi," he said, "It's nothing to be ashamed of Saya."
Hagi rolled his eyes. "Saya," he said. The way he said her name made her heart pound against her chest even harder. "You had nothing to be afraid of. I'm sure it's just a crush. It will blow over in no time." Saya didn't want to stop loving him but she knew they were strangers. She had a better chance dating Solomon than someone she barely even knew. Saya couldn't imagine falling for Solomon ever. She looked at Hagi. "Yeah, maybe you're right," she said. Deep down she wanted to be his girlfriend.
Saya and Diva walked to Julia's clinic. She was their usual doctor in France then transferred to Okinawa for a while. She got married to a man named David another friend of Joel's. "Hello Julia-san," said the girls. "Good evening girls," Julia replied smiling when she saw them. They lay down onto two beds while Julia pierced their skin with a needle into their arms. Soon they were finished. Julia handed Saya the note for the next appointment since she was the older twin. "So, how do you girls like Okinawa?" she asked.
"It's so beautiful," said Saya smiling. "And it's so peaceful," said Diva. Julia smiled. "So, is there anyone who strikes your interest?" Diva giggled as she looked at Saya. "Saya-neesama has a crush," she said. "Diva!" Saya said quickly. Julia smiled and turned to Saya. "Well, I never thought that Saya would be the one with a crush," she said, "So, what's his name?" Saya's face turned red. "His name is Hagi Black," she said turning her head to the side. Julia's eyes widen. "You mean Solomon's friend?"
Diva nodded. "Yep, Saya-neesama has been crushing on him since we were at school today," said Diva. Saya groaned and burled her face into a pillow nearby. Julia and Diva laughed. "Saya, you have nothing to be ashamed of," said Julia. Saya looked up at her. "I don't?" she asked. "No," said Julia, "Hagi is a handsome young man and he very polite too. I think you picked the right boy for your first crush. He knows how to treat a lady." "How do you know that Julia-san?" Diva asked.
"I've seen it with my own two eyes," Julia replied. Saya titled her head to the side. "Hagi is very different from the average boy," said Diva turning to Saya. Saya groaned. Diva giggled. Julia rolled her eyes. "You're done for the day," she said. "Thank you Julia-san," they said as they left. They headed home. Saya caught something at the corner of her eye. "Huh?" she said. Diva noticed too. "Hey that's our school uniform," said Diva. Saya saw Kai's little brother Riku leaning against the wall. A group of boys from their school had him trapped.
"Hey we're not done talking to you," said one of the boys. "Riku!" Saya and Diva cried as the boy pushed Riku into the wall. "Hey!" they shouted. The boys turned around. "What are you doing to him?" Saya shouted. "Saya-chan? Diva-chan?" said Riku when he saw them. "Oh, hey aren't you two the new girls at our school?" asked one of the boys. "Yeah so?" Diva asked harshly. "Relax," said another boy, "We have nothing against you yet."
"We just want to lay down some ground rules," said another boy. Saya had a bad feeling about this. One of the boys took a step toward them. "Why are you picking on Riku-kun?" Diva asked. The boys looked at each other then laughed. "Why?" a boy repeated, "Because, he's so easy. He's nothing like his big brother, is he?" "That doesn't give you the right!" Saya shouted. The leader turned to her. "Who died to make you the boss," he said.
Saya stood her ground stein. Then four boys of the group fell to the ground back first. They others turned around. Kai, Solomon and Hagi stood there behind them. Kai had a bat over his shoulder. Riku was right behind his older brother. "Crap," one of the boys cried out, "It's Kai Myagusuku, Solomon Goldsmith and Hagi Black." "Leave my little brother alone," said Kai ready to wick some skulls in. Solomon shook his head. Hagi did nothing but gave them all a death glare. The boys backed away.
Saya and Diva saw the fear that these three boys put in others. The boys took off running down the road with their tails between their legs. Saya and Diva looked at each other. 'You okay Riku?" Kai asked. "Yeah, I'm fine," said Riku. Kai turned to Saya and Diva. "Thanks for trying to help my little brother," he said. They smiled and nodded. Hagi picked up his backpack. "I need to get to work," he said, "See you later Solomon." "Sure," said Solomon, "See you later Hagi." Hagi nodded and walked past Saya.
Saya looked over her shoulder at him. He did nothing but walked passed her. Her heart pounded against her heart as his arm brushed against hers. She watched until she couldn't see him anymore. "I better get home too," said Solomon. He hugged Diva and tried to kiss Saya on the cheek. Saya jumped back causing him to kiss Diva again. Kai and Riku laughed. Solomon walked off."We should head home too," said Kai to Saya, Riku and Diva. They all nodded. They headed home with their friends. Saya wondered if she would get Hagi to know just how she felt toward him. How she hoped that he will feel the same way that she did.
Saya looked out her bedroom window. Hagi was walking home from work which happens to be the way toward her house. Kai had told her that Hagi helped out at their family's restaurant. Saya watched him carefully. Never had she been like this. She kept wishing that he would jump through her window and kisses her. She knew that was just a fantasy that she had. She assured herself that Hagi wasn't interested in her. Her eyes fell onto his lips. How she wanted to kiss his lips. Hagi was the most perfect guy in the world to her.
Diva had said that she thought that Hagi was kind of cute. Saya wanted to slap her for saying that he wasn't attractive. Saya knew that Diva loves Solomon, so she didn't blame her sister for not finding Hagi cute. Saya wanted more in the world than to have Hagi as her boyfriend. She wanted to be in his arms at night and whisper sweet love into her ear. Saya shook her head trying to get Hagi out of her head but no matter how hard she tried.
She couldn't stop thinking about him. Saya banged her head on the glass on the window. She looked out the window with her forehead against the glass. Hagi had stopped and turned behind him. Saya saw a group of boys creeping up behind him. She wanted to yell out to save him but Hagi had already known. The group of boys lunged at him. Hagi turned to the side. He kicked one boy under the chin. Another held up a broken glass wine bottle over his head. He was about bring it down into Hagi's neck. Saya gasped.
Hagi jabbed his elbow into his gut making the boy fall to the ground on his knees. The two others threw their fist into the air. Hagi bashed his fist under one's jaw and his other fist made contact with the second boy's face. Saya watched as he took them all down one by one. Soon the group was on the ground. She smiled happy that he was unharmed. Hagi sighed and shook his head. "Beat it," he said. The boys got up and ran for the hills.
Saya placed her chin on her hand. She looked at him with dreamy eyes. Hagi turned around and walked off. Saya wished he would stop then look up to see her. Then maybe he would come through the window to kiss her lips. She shook her head again. Hagi was gone. She groaned then checked the clock. It was six minutes past seven. She got ready for bed. She climbed into bed and fell asleep for a good night sleep.
Hagi walked through his door of his apartment. He sighed as he placed his bag down onto the table. He pulled out paper and pencil. He began to write a letter to his family in France. An image of Saya appeared in his mind. He had told himself that she wasn't interested in him. He had come to Japan to hide his past. Saya would just be in danger. He \couldn't get her out of his head. All day, he wanted nothing more than to kiss her and hold her.
Hagi got up and opened the freeze. He pulled out a can of a Japanese soft drink. He was lucky if he even got wine in Japan. Wine in Japan was a bit rare to find then tea or alcohol than France. He took a sip from the can. He placed it down onto the counter beside the small freeze. His apartment was a bit small. It had one bedroom, a kitchen in the corner, a tiny bathroom and one small table in the middle of the apartment. The last thing he would want is to bring a girl in here. He couldn't imagine Saya living in this small of a place.
He sat down onto the bed that on the floor. He couldn't afford a bigger apartment. He came to Japan escape the rich life. He took what money he could. Everyone only wanted to hang out with him for the money he had. His clan was very big in France, England and the United States. His clan was known in small countries in the world. Hagi had no desire to be a part of that kind of family. His father and mother were gone. He had lived with his uncle and his younger cousin whose parents were gone too.
Hagi was the hare to the head of the clan. His uncle was currently the head of the clan. Hagi never wanted to be the head of his clan. He saw the world as something that he could travel and met the girl of his dreams. He was starting to think that Saya was the one for him. She was very beautiful. He didn't know very much about her but he still loved her. He sighed and pulled out his cello and began to play. The melody carried throughout the apartment like water flowing the river. Images of Saya came to mind as he played.
If he could he would have Saya as his own girl. She was so beautiful. When he told her that it was just a crush it hurt his heart. He wanted her to love him forever. He never felt so strongly about anything except for leaving his clan behind. Hagi was no longer a part of the Black clan. He was his own person. He stopped as he heard a noise. The glass on the window flew into the air. "Again?" he hissed. A man wearing a black mask shot through the broken window and landed onto his feet.
He pulled out a knife from his breast pocket and swung at Hagi's head. Hagi disappeared into the wind. The man looked around for him. Then something felt like it was creeping up his body. He looked down. Hagi stood in the shadows of the apartment. Blue electricity shot up the man's leg. The man fell to the floor. "You should never face off with a lightening caster," said Hagi as he stepped out from the shadows. The man let out a scream of pain as his body shook violently. Then the whole apartment went dead silent.
Hagi walked toward the corpse. "I tried to warn you," he said picking up the knife and held it over the corpse's neck. He dropped the knife into the base of the neck on the corpse. With one powerful kick the corpse flew into the air and out of the apartment. It landed into the trash below. Hagi closed the window. "Fool," he hissed looking out the window. He turned and went to bed. Tomorrow he would be one step closer to making Saya his girlfriend.
