Just Me
by: akuma-tenshi
It was a typical Monday morning. The city of Tokyo, the city that never sleeps as some say, was very much alive. Every street and alley were full of people bustling here and there. Everyone was busy with their own business. Some were opening their shops, while others were hurrying to not be late in an appointment, in work, or in school. Everyone except a raven-haired young man strolling leisurely, oblivious to the hectic athmosphere that envelopes the city every morning.
"Sugoi![1] A lot has changed since I last visited here!", the young man exclaimed as he noticed a newly-opened bookshop from across the street. His eyes lingered for a few moments at the shop as if remembering every detail of it in case the next time he visits, it would be gone too.
He sighed and resumed his laid-back pace, whistling as he walk. 'Everything here change so fast. It was almost unbelievable. So unlike in my home town, in Kyoto. Life there is more relaxed. I wonder if people here are having a hard time remembering places.' The sides of his mouth quirked up at the silent thought.
'Yeah right! As if they even give a damn about these changes! Everywhere I look, people are walking as if being chased! It's almost dizzying to observe them.', this time, he chuckled softly, earning a few weird glances from passersby.
.....
A few hours had found the young man still walking, now with his hands interlaced and placed at the back of his head.
"Whew! Didn't know a leisurely walk can be tiring too. I'm feeling a little tired now. Hey... where am I anyway?"
The ebony-haired teenager stopped walking and took a good look at his surroundings. He looked around and saw trees and a bench a few meters away from him. Although he couldn't see them, he could hear faintly the gleefull laughter of children some distance away from him, probably concealed behind the towering trees. 'Hmmm... must be a park.' (a/n: duh?!?! how stupid can anyone get?! of course it's a park! ^^;; )
He walked to the bench and sat there, looking up and squinting as the brightness of the sunlight blinded him a little. 'Wait... what time is it?!?', he wondered silently and glanced at his wristwatch. "Nani?!?! It's almost eleven already?!?!"
'Wow! I didn't know I walked that long! I must've covered a great distance today. Time surely flies when you're occupied with something.', he thought silently, a little proud of his achievement. He shifted into a more comfortable position, closing his eyes once more and enjoying the serenity of the moment as the gentle wind blew the dark bangs on his forehead and caressed his cheek in a very comforting manner.
He sighed contentedly as his thoughts drifted to a certain man with a rich chocolate-colored hair. 'I wonder when will I see him again?' He looked up, a wistful smile on his face. 'I heard Grasper will be back to business again. Yosh!!', he cheared inwardly. 'I could finally hear my Sakuma-sama sing again!!! I can't wait!!!' He squared his arms and placed them at the back of his head. 'It would be a dream come true if I could just meet him. Kami-sama... I feel that I could die when that moment comes...'
The rest of his thoughts were cut short when suddenly, he heard quick footsteps coming towards him. The teen opened his eyes just in time to see a blur of brown, white, and blue passed by him and disappeared in the thick bushes at his back. Then a muffled voice spoke, "Please don't tell them where I went. Arigato."
Before he could brood over what had just happened, a horde of crazy-looking girls approached him and bombed him with question after question.
"Hey! Have you seen him?"
"Where did he go?"
"Did he pass by here?"
"When did he pass by?"
"Tell me where he is?!"
"Are you hiding him?!?!"
"Where are you hiding him?!"
"Hey! Are you listening?"
"Are you deaf?"
"Are you dumb? Why don't you answer me?!"
"Will all of you just shut the hell up first?!?!?!!" He finally lost it, gor up, and shouted as irritation won over confusion. He glared at them and spoke in an icy tone, "What is it that you want?"
All at once, the girls launched again with their neverending attack of questions, their voices shrill and truly irritating to the ears.
"I said SHUT UP!!!! ALL OF YOU!!!!", the raven-haired teen shouted yet again at the top of his lungs. He threw a murderous glare at the group of girls and asked in a very dangerous tone that gave no objections whatsoever, "Now... WHAT. THE. HELL. DO. YOU. WANT?????"
One girl with a lot of courage spoke up timidly. "Anou... we're looking for someone. Have you seen anyone passing here?"
He tilted his head a little, faking a thoughtful look as if deep in thought as the girls waited, holding their breaths. Finally satistfied with the looks on their faces, he shrugged, and said in an indifferent tone, "I think he went that way." He pointed to his right.
Faster than lightning, the girls ran at the direction he pointed, leaving a trail of dust all the way. The young man sighed exasperatedly and with shoulders slumped, sat down again.
"What the..."
He was startled when he heard a voice spoke behind him. "Thanks for helping me with them. I'm really very sorry for dumping them on you like that. That was selfish of me. But I'm just too tired to deal with them right now.", the other person sighed heavily and the young man heard footsteps approaching him.
'Judging from the voice, I'd say it's a he... but why is it that it sounds awfully familiar?!?', the teen thought silently, then shook his head and spoke loudly this time.
"Iie... iie... betsumi[2]. Don't worry about it. I'm just glad I was able to help. But wow! That's some fan club you got there!", he teased good-naturedly. He slowly turned around to face the other person, a smile plastered on his handsome face.
"So think nothing..."
The words died in his throat as he saw who the other person was. His eyes grew wide and his jaw dropped. Maybe it wasn't a typical Monday afterall.
*tbc...*
