Chapter One: The Place I Call Home
Disclaimer: I do not own any Outlaw Star characters.
In all of the Planet Rykona, there was none a grander house than the Syteno household. The pride of the planet, it stood tall as a stunning edifice for all to marvel at. The owner of the house was the renowned Kimatan Syteno, a great noble of the planet that was dearly loved by all. Kimatan had a fourteen-year-old daughter named Suzuka. Her beauty was greater than any other lady of Rykona with her midnight black hair and penetrating eyes. Many a night she could be seen resting her elbows on the balcony of her room and gazing eagerly at the stars. Truly, of all children, her life was the very best. Little did she know, though, that soon her life would take the turn for the worst.
"Have you done your homework for school tomorrow?" Mrs. Syteno interrupted her daughter's star gazing.
"Yes, mother," Suzuka sighed, "by the way, we have another sword fighting tournament tomorrow."
"Oh dear," her mother said, "I'm afraid I have meetings all day tomorrow, I won't be able to make it."
"It's alright," Suzuka answered but at the same time thinking, "I was ready for you to say that since you never can make it." Her mother smiled, oblivious to Suzuka's true thoughts and leaned over to hug her.
"I promise I will come next time," her mother whispered into her ear, but there never would be a next time.
