Chapter 1.
'I need to get out of here. I can't take it anymore!' Minori thought as she packed her things.
She's leaving, well, running away. Same thing though. She can't stand it anymore. Minori's parents are always nagging the young girl about her life.
"At your age, you should have friends. Why can't you be more like Emilio?" her mother would ask constantly.
"Your brother is going to be the family's boss. Act right. We don't need you disgracing him nor the family." her father would say.
Minori never had a single friend. She isn't the shy type, she's just different from everyone else. Her parents know this. They just don't except it. She finished packing. Minori closed her bag and put it over her shoulders. Minori walked over to her window and opened it. She jumped out. The window is about four feet from the ground, so she didn't get hurt. Much. Minori hurt her feet when she landed, but who's feet wouldn't hurt from landing?
'I'm free.' those words were running across the young girl's mind. She ran to the forest that surrounded her house and to the airport. The girl already had her plane ticket and passport. She got everything a week before. Which goes without saying, she's been planing to runaway for a while. Minori took them out of her bag and gave it to the lady, so she can check them. The lady gave them back and Minori went on the plane. There she said her goodbye to Italy.
There wasn't much people on the plane. Maybe it was because it's six am. Or maybe it's because no one feels like going to Namimori, Japan at the moment. During the plane ride, Minori didn't sleep. Instead she listened to her Ipod and played games on her cell phone. Finally, the plane arrived at Japan. Minori put her Ipod and cell phone in her bag and stood up. She waited until everyone was off, then she got off the plane.
In Japan, the weather is rather warm. Even though it's evening now. Minori walked inside the building. She walked around, looking for the entrance/exit. It was hard to find with all the people around. Finally she found it. She got to the doors and left the building. She smiled in her mind.
"Do you need a ride?" a man asked her.
Minori looked at him. He had short black hair and (No offense) was a little chubby. Minori shook her head and started walking again.
"Fine then." the man said from behind her.
The man started asking everyone that passed him, if they needed a ride. Minori walked passed Namimori High School. She stopped and looked at the school. She felt someone watching, no wait, glaring at her from above.
'I wonder if the principal is here. I need to register for school. It's August 26. I wonder if it's to late. Oh god! Will someone stop the glaring?' Minori thought.
She walked towards the entrance and immediately the glaring stopped. To her surprise, the doors were opened. Minori went inside the school. It felt weird to be inside an actual school. She's been home schooled her whole life. The girl looked around and found a school map. She looked at it and found where the principal's office was at. Minori walked there. The office wasn't that far from the entrance. When she got there, she knocked on the door.
"Come in." a voice said.
Minori opened the door and went inside. There was a man sitting at the desk. Minori figured he was the principal.
"Um...I was wondering if it's to late to register for school." Minori said.
"No, it's not late. Here. Have your parent or guardian sign this paper." the principal handed Minori a paper.
She took it and looked at it.
"Um...I don't have any parents or guardians." Minori said.
"Oh. Well then just fill it out." he said.
Minori sat down on the floor and started filling out the paper. The principal watched her. Minori finished and stood back up. She handed the paper to him.
"Thank you. School starts on the 28th. At 8 o' clock in the morning." he said.
They shook hands and Minori left the room. The principal is a nice guy. Though, he's probably one of those people that look nice and act nice but once you piss them off, they're a whole different person. Everyone should really watch out for those type of people.
Minori walked out of the building and off the campus. Though she didn't know where she was going, she just kept walking as if she did. After a while, she found herself at the park. Minori looked around the park and saw a boy, about fifteen, sitting on the swings. Minori walked inside the park area. She sat down on the bench after taking off her bag, which laid next to her.
The girl looked up at the sky. There was heavy clouds in the sky.
'It looks like a storm is coming.' Minori thought.
Slowly, rain drops started coming down. Minori heard the swings move. She looked at them and saw the boy standing, looking at her. From the looks of it, he had turquoise eyes and silver hair.
'If I be nice to this girl, Juudime will praise me! I could do this! Believe in yourself Hayato! Just pretend she's Juudime. Even though, she's a girl, she has black hair, her eyes are turquoise. You can do it! Just don't call her Juudime.' he thought.
It started raining harder. Minori got her bag and hugged it. The boy walked over to her.
"Hey girl, do you need a place to stay tonight?" he asked.
Minori looked at him surprised. No one asked her something like that before. It started raining even harder. Gokudera didn't wait for an answer, he grabbed her arm and started running. Minori let him led her. While they ran, Minori managed to put her bag over one of her shoulders. They got to a house. Gokudera lead her inside.
"Aunt! Uncle! I'm home." Gokudera said.
A lady and a man came into the hallway.
"Hayato. Your soaked! Oh, what's this? You brought a guest?" the lady said.
"She's a cutie, Hayato." the man said.
Gokudera and Minori blushed.
"They're so cute! Well, I'm Emi and this is Aki, my husband." Emi smiled.
Minori smiled an awkward smile.
"What's your name?" Aki asked.
"It's Minori." Minori said.
"Such a cute name to go with a cute girl!" Emi said.
Minori blushed again.
"I'm letting her stay here for tonight, since it's raining. If you'll excuse us." Gokudera said.
Gokudera led Minori away from his aunt and uncle and into his room. Minori went inside and stood in the middle of the room. She looked at the walls. There was posters all over. Gokudera got some clothes and handed them to Minori. She looked at them and took them.
"You can change in here. When your done just bring out your clothes and give them to my aunt." Gokudera left the room.
He shut the door. Minori put the clothes on the bed and changed quickly. Her clothes were on the floor. She was wearing Gokudera's shorts, a black shirt, even a pair of his boxers which made Minori feel very weird. Minori picked up her clothes and walked to the door. She opened it and walked out. Minori walked down the hall and into the living room. Emi and Aki were sitting there.
"Um..." Minori said.
They looked at her.
"Oh, your done changing? Here I'll take your clothes." Emi stood up.
She walked over to Minori and got her clothes.
"I'll wash them tonight and give them to you tomorrow. Hayato has offered to let you sleep in his room. Such a sweet boy. Have a good night rest." the lady smiled.
Minori nodded and went back to Gokudera's room. Gokudera was sitting down on his bed, leaning against the wall. He was reading a magazine. Minori walked in quietly and picked up her bag from the floor. She walked over to the corner and sat down, hugging her bag. This all felt weird for her. She never had anyone be nice to her other then her brother, Emilio. Gokudera looked up from his magazine and looked at the girl.
'Juudime is going to be so proud of me! He's going to praise me so much!' he thought.
Minori looked at Gokudera and saw he was lost in thought. He had a look that most people get when they accomplished something. Gokudera noticed Minori looking at him and his face showed anger.
"What are you looking at?" he asked.
"You only help me because you wanted something." Minori said.
"What the hell are you talking about?! I'm just being a good citizen! You should be grateful!"
"What ever. I didn't need your charity."
"Why you little!"
Gokudera was about to take out a bomb but he remembered why he helped her. He wanted to show Juudime that he could be a good person. Gokudera gave Minori a quick glare then went back to reading his magazine. Minori smiled a bit. She hid her face so Gokudera didn't see and start yelling at her again. The two teens stayed quiet for a while then Gokudera's aunt and uncle came in the room.
"We're going to bed. You should get some sleep too. School is in just two days." Emi said.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah." Gokudera said.
"Night." Emi and Aki left.
"Here's a pillow and a blanket." Gokudera said.
Gokudera threw a blanket and pillow at Minori. She caught them and put the pillow in back of her head, and she covered herself with the blanket. Minori leaned against the pillow and closed her eyes. The girl fell asleep. Gokudera shook his head at her and turned off the lights along with closing the door. He went back to his bed and fell asleep.
They woke up at the same time. Gokudera yawned and looked at Minori. Minori was folded the blanket and laid it over the blanket. She stood up and quietly walked out of the room. Gokudera got up and followed her. Minori went into the kitchen. Emi and Aki were in there. Emi was cooking, and Aki was sitting down at the table, reading the newspaper.
"Hey Minori-chan! Your clothes are washed and dried. There in the living room so you can change." Emi said when she saw Minori.
Minori nodded and left the room. Gokudera went inside the kitchen and sat down.
"Don't be mean to her, Hayato." Emi said.
"What?! When was I ever mean to her? I brought her here so she wasn't in the cold last night!" Gokudera said.
"What are you looking at?!" Aki repeated Gokudera's words from last night.
"Oh, that." Gokudera said.
"Yes that. We want you to be nice to Minori-chan." Emi said.
"How do I do that?" Gokudera asked.
"Uh...Take her shopping. Don't girls love things like that?" Aki asked.
"Not all girls, but that's a good idea. You can take her shopping." Emi said.
"Here's some money. Buy her what she needs or wants." Aki said.
He handed Gokudera some money and Gokudera took it. The young boy sighed, knowing that his aunt and uncle would not take no for an answer.
"Fine I'll take her shopping." he said.
Gokudera stood up and went back in his room. He changed into a pair of jeans, a white t-shirt, a black coat. He put on a belt that hung down and chains. The boy had on a couple necklaces, along with a gray wrist warmer and his rings. Including his Vongola ring. Gokudera walked out of his room and went to the kitchen. Minori was there this time. Her bag was over her shoulders. She was eating a piece of toast.
"We're leaving." Gokudera grabbed Minori's wrist and led her out of the house.
"Where we going?" Minori asked when she finished eating.
"Shopping." Gokudera said.
