What Awaits Us, Chapter 1
Mankind is full of secrets. We keep secrets from those we fear, and we keep secrets from those we love. We do not intend for some secrets to harm those around us, but sometimes it is beyond our control, especialy when one particular secret has the power to change the lives of an entire dorm at the top of a hill.

"About time I get here," the young girl said picking up her bags and walking towards the stairs. "I spend a week traveling across the country only to get lost when I finally make it to the right town. I'm just glad I called ahead telling the landlord I would be running late."
She remembered her good fortune in hearing that there was a place with an opening that didn't cost nearly as much as some of the other facilities in the area. What had initially upset her was finding out that some of the other tenants were sometimes rather crazy, causing the various space agencies around the world to wonder about the actual number of satellites orbiting the planet.
As she reached the top of the stairs, she was greeted by the landlord and another tenant. Quickly, her eyes took in the details. The landlord, a young man of about 20, looked to be in good shape, with short dark hair and glasses. The woman standing next to him, however, sent several shivers down her spine. While her height and raven hair didn't scare her, the deep aggressive look in her eyes and the katana resting on her belt gave the impression of someone used to combat, but not used to hiding it.
"Welcome to Hinata Sou," the man said with a smile. "My name is Urashima Keitaro. This is Aoyama Motoko, who will be staying in the room next to yours. I would introduce you to the other tenants, but they are currently at school or studying. I'm sorry, but the paperwork you faxed over didn't have any information as far as a name was concerned, only your living requirements."
"My name is Kazeko," the girl replied, keeping an eye on Motoko. "Nice to meet you."
Her gaze was noticed by Motoko, as was her basic physical characteristics. Standing at about 5' 7'', she looked like she kept herself in prime physical condition, much like Motoko did. She had light brown hair that fell to her neck, and silver blue eyes that seemed to hint at some deeper
understanding of the way the world worked. Underneath her right eye was a tattoo that bore the resemblance of 2 dragons entangled around each other forming a figure 8. She was carrying a rather large suitcase in her right hand and a guitar case in her left.
Noticing what his new guest was carrying, he said "shall we continue this conversation inside? While you get settled in your new room, I will make some tea."
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
After Kazeko had deposited her belongings in her room, she made her way down to the dining room, making sure to take note of the layout of the room and the locations of doors and hallways. When she arrived in the dining room, she noticed that the only person in there was Keitaro.
"Motoko will be along shortly, she had some business to take care of. Please, have a seat, "Keitaro said, indicating the chair at the opposite end of the table, where there was already a cup of tea waiting for her. "Tell me, what brings you to this dormitory?"
"I just got a new job in the area, and until I get transferred, I am in need of a place to stay." Saying this, Kazeko pulled out an envelope and slides it across the table to her new landlord. "That envelope contains my first three months rent. Beyond that, I am not sure how long I can stay. I am sorry if this inconveniences you."
"Not at all. In fact, it is kind of refreshing having someone who pays their bills on time for a change." Keitaro got up and walked around the table. "If you will follow me, I can give you a tour while the house is still quiet."
As he said this, his foot caught on one of the table legs, and he fell on top of Kazeko. When his disorientation passed, he found himself on top of her, her breast in his hand. It was at that exact moment that Motoko decided to make her reappearance.
"Urashima, you bastard! She hasn't even been here twenty minutes and you are already feeling her up!?" Motoko shouted in a voice that caused Keitaro to scramble to the wall in fear.
"I'm sorry, it was an accident! I tripped and fell on her unintentionally! I swear!" He pleaded.
"Save it! I am not interested in your excuses!" She yelled, drawing her sword and raising it above her head, ready to slash Keitaro through a wall. "Boulder Cu-"
Motoko suddenly stopped, her words dying in her throught, looking down at the face of the girl in front of her. Somehow, Kazeko had managed to appear right in front of her. But what shocked Motoko was how her eyes, which before had been calm, now were devoid of any emotion whatsoever, and were even more intimidating than she expected.
"I believe he said it was an accident. Why not believe him and lower your sword. I wouldn't want to use this on my first day." Thankfully, she was positioned so that her new landlord couldn't see what was in her hand.
Motoko glanced down and was surprised to see a handgun suspended just below her jaw, the gun in the hand of Kazeko.
Before anyone could do anything, they heard voices coming from the entrance to the kitchen. At that exact moment, the other members of Hinata Sou walked in to the dining room having caught sight of Motoko with her sword raised, thinking they were about to witness another pervert launching. They didn't know what to make of the sight of some unknown person pointing a gun at one of the regular residents.
For a long moment, nothing was heard. Then, seemingly from nowhere, someone asked "What in the hell is going on here!?"
To be continued.
A/N: this story is not a self insert, just a character I have been wanting to play around with for a while. Big thanks to my friend's vash, wolf, and sheep, who gave me the idea to be random in the first place. As the story progresses, there will be more and more OOC, just to warn you. Please read and review.
