Only Through the Eyes of Innocence
Chapter 1

On a sunny afternoon in Tokyo, a petite blonde hurried through the streets, visibly late for whatever appointment she held. Why must I be late for everything? She weaved easily in out of people traffic until she reached her destination: a large Victorian-style house in a quiet neighborhood. She took notice of the front of the house: Miss Chiba's Home for the Gifted. The girl took out her compact mirror and fixed her hair. Not much you can do with your meatballs, Serena. She took a deep sigh and opened the front door.

She walked slowly into the house, hoping things would end up easier than they seemed. The house was quiet, only a few sounds of quiet conversation and a TV nearby. She slowly walked throughout the house. She could tell by the décor that the house was one of the older ones in the city. She was also made notice of the brightness from the many windows around the home. "Hello?" Serena asked, her soft voice traveling throughout the house. A young woman wearing a nurse's uniform approached her. She looked much like Serena herself. The nurse wore her long blonde hair pulled back by a red bow which contrasted with her bright blue eyes. Serena read her name tag: Mina.

"Hi, you must be Serena, the student volunteer. I'm Mina, the head nurse." Mina said shaking Serena's hand. Serena had to admit that Mina looked no older than she was herself. The thought of Mina being the same age made Serena's stomach drop. Mina looked very determined to do whatever she was doing. Meanwhile, Serena couldn't even make it to her appointments on time.

"Oh yes, I'm Serena. Sorry, I'm late." Serena steadily apologized, shaking Mina's hand at the same time. Mina just smiled.

"It's ok. We understand how hard it is on the outside. Miss Chiba would like to see you before you meet him." Mina said. She turned and led Serena down the quiet hallway. They passed a room full of teens, some watching Sesame Street on TV and various others playing board games Serena hadn't seen since primary school. Her eyes gazed upon a dark-haired boy sitting in a window seat, looking out the window. Somehow he wasn't like the others; somehow, he was different. He looked just a bit older than Serena was herself. Still she couldn't take her eyes off of the boy. "Serena?" Mina's soft voice interrupted Serena's thoughts. She realized that she had stopped walking to stare at the boy. Very polite, Serena, stare at the insane.

"Sorry! I just got a bit side-tracked." Serena attempted to cover for herself as they continued walking down the hallway.

"It's okay. Everyone is the same on their first time. Don't worry. They don't mind much. They like to see new faces." Mina reassured her, making Serena's spirit lift a tad bit, but she still felt guilty. Yet, in the back of her mind, she still thought about that boy. Serena noticed that Mina's footsteps had stopped and she looked up to see that they were standing in front of two huge solid oak double doors. "This is it, Miss Chiba's room." Mina informed her. Serena took a deep breath as Mina knocked on the door.

"Come in."


Yes, I had to leave a tad bit of suspense, if that's what you call it. So yeah, review please! I hope you guys like. I'll post chapter two soon.
