Here is the first chapter of 'Paper Flowers'
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*~*~
I wake up with sunlight shining again, like it usually does, causing me to squint in the bright light. I sigh and decided it was hopeless to try & block the sun. I tried to move but something was holding me back. It wasn't a mental thing, more physical. That had long black hair, muscular, olive skin, and a fuzzy brown tail wrapped around my waist. When I tried to move again, his grip tighened, like he wouldn't let go if his life depended on it. I looked at his face, seeing the peaceful gleam of his expression. He seems so innocent & child like, you'd never think he was a powerful warrior that took on the most powerful being in the universe and won. I thought that the first time I met him. He was so powerful, yet look so child like in slumber, it's hard to imagine. I sighed contently. He was also firecely loyal and a good companion. As well as a good judge of moral character, you'd think he was a wise man. but he couldn't be more than 19 at the most. Barely out of childhood, and stepping into the shallows of adulthood. Though I can't complain. I'm still considered a child by Earth's standards, yet aged so much over the past year. I do sometimes wonder. How had Radditz come to me? I know he had crashed into Earth, but what would cause him to crash? Why did he choose this planet in particular? Or is something pulling the strings?
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
I had finally been reunited with my grandparents, knowing I had gone with 'my aunt' but I made up the story that she didn't want me any more. I mainly blamed Radditz, but he took the blame pretty well. Demon & Spirit were glad to see me home safetly again. Though my first night home was anything but peaceful.
I had kissed my family goodnight and had gone upstairs to get some well needed rest. I sighed and instantly fell asleep on my pillow the moment my head fell on it. Then, I was shrouded in darkness. Not a comfortable dark, but a dark, cold and painful darkness. I was by myself, no one else was with me. I tried calling out, but no one hears. I suddenly see this face in the darkness. At first glance, the face looked feminine, but I soon saw the face was masculine. He was of paled colored skin, and had shoulder- length lilac white hair. He stood just a couple inches taller than me and dressed in clothes that even a girl wouldn't dare. His chest was covered but his middle abdomen was bare, with a belt like thing covering his feminine like hips. His boots were as high as his thighs, black and leather. But his eyes got my attention the most. They were a lightning blue, sparking everything the eyes were set upon, touched off with a bit of rouge eye shadow, causing me to think he was a girl before. As he came closer, I noticed I couldn't move my body, strucken by his beauty. I then thought I was in love with Radditz and turned away from the person in front of me. I then felt a hand on my cheek, causing me to look up. It was the boy who had been coming close to me, tenderly looking into my eyes. I seem to fall into their electrifying depths, closer and closer to loosing my soul inside those pools when.....I woke up with a start, sweeating and breathing rapidly. It was the same dream again. I had dreamed about that guy for some time now, but I had no idea why.
"Aibou?" I heard Radditz say behind me.
"Yes?" I asked him, rubbing the sleep out of my eyes, knowing it was time to get up.
"Is there anyway your going to tell me what the heck your dreaming about? It's been bothering you."
I had refrained from telling him because I'm scared of what he might think. He might think I was cheating on him for some other guy, but I had never seen him before in my life.
"No, sorry," I said, sighing.
"You know I can read your thoughts you know?" he said, pulling the same stunt for the past year I've been having this time.
"I know you wouldn't out of respect you have for me to have privacy. And I do the same for you."
It was his turn to sigh, knowing honor was very important to him, but he couldn't help but feel curious about me sometimes. He then kissed meon the forehead.
"Are you ever going to tell me what's wrong?"
"I'm scared of what would happen if I did tell."
"Nothing you say is going to offend me and you know that."
"Are you sure?"
"Cross my heart!" he said, giving me the puppy dog eyes.
I taught him that........Now I regret doing that...... I finally gave & told him. He was a bit surprised as I told him the tale.
"Do you know this guy you keep seeing?"
"No, I've never seen him before in my life. I don't even know his name."
Radditz sighed in deep thought, thinking as he usually does. I stood up and got myself some fresh clothes and did my morning chores, with a little help from a sayian friend of mine. We both had our share of breakfast and I got my schoolbags ready to go to school. Radditz & Demon were sad to see me to go, but I said that I had to, or else I would get in trouble. Radditz nodded in understanding and gave a goodbye kiss to set me off. I climbed onto the bus and sat by myself. It was hard for me to hide the blush that forming on my cheeks and I didn't want anyone to see my embarrasement. But it cleared up when I got to school, much to my relief. I got my class schedule and went to Junior orentation. Which, in my opinion is the biggest time waster in history besides doing homework, does nothing for the student except more time to sleep. All they do is tell you rules of the school, introduce teachers you will most likely get, and introduce new students to the school. A lot of students on S & C or Snooze & Cruise. I almost fall under the boredom spell when I noticed one of the new students. He had shoulder length lilac hair with electrifying blue eyes, wearing the school's standard uniform. He got a lot of the preps attention because of 'how cute he was' because he looked so feminine. One of the boys behind him 'another chick magnet and a heart breaker.' I remained silent, staring at the boy. Suddenly, I notice him looking at me, eyes staring straight into my soul. I had to blink under his intense gaze, scaring me. When I opened my eyes again, I noticed he winked at me, but the other girls thought he winked at them. They all sighed contently, like they had just met the guy of their dreams, but all I did was blush. Lucky for me I was near the top, hiding my blush from most. When they mentioned his name I listen intently.
"My name is Soujiro Takashi, and it is a pleasure to meet all of you," he said, his voice thick with a british accent, even though the name was japanese.
"I guess you all wonder why I speak with such an accent. Well my mother is from England and my father was Japanese so she kept my father's name and named me after him."
Wait.....didn't I just think that? The only person that I allow to read my thoughts was Radditz. How on Earth did know what I was thinking?
The other students were introduced, but none had stunned me more than Soujiro. He looked exactly like the guy from my dreams only with a different outfit and no eyeshadow. Is he the one giving me nightmares? Or.......am I falling in love with another guy that I barely even know....again?

Here's the first chapter. For those that want a mental picture of Soujiro, picture Kuja from FFIX only with shoulder length straight hair. Anyway. Who is this Soujiro? And does he have anything to do with the story? Or our favorite couple? Tune in for the next chapter of 'Paper Flowers'
