"Erm...excuse me?"

Sunohara pulled out one of his earphones and spun round, "Hey don't you know it's rude to interrupt a guy when he's listening to…" His voice trailed off as he took in the person now in front of a him; a pretty girl with blond hair, "S-sorry!" He stammered.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt your music, I didn't see your earphones," The girl looked down blushing, "It's just I wondered if you could help me?"

'A pretty girl needs my help? A damsel in distress seeking a valiant knight! This is my lucky day!' He thought to himself excitedly.

"What do you need?" Sunohara said aloud.

"Do you see that guy over there?" She subtly pointed towards a tall muscular guy leaning against the bus stop, "He keeps harassing me. He's so creepy, he's asked me out a date several times and even though I declined he keeps winking at me."

Sunohara nervously watched as the male flexed his impressive muscles when he noticed the girl looking over, "Er... Do you want me to beat him up?"

The girl laughed, "Oh no. I wouldn't want you to get hurt. I just wondered…"

"Get hurt? Me?" Sunohara interrupted laughing incredulously, "I might not look it but I am a master fighter!"

"Thank you but I just wondered if I could stand with you while I waited for the next bus. I thought he might leave me alone then."

'Oh man! A pretty girl wants to stand with me.' He thought. "Sure. No problem!"

"Thanks! I'm Kamira Akiyama by the way." She held out her hand.

'She wants me to kiss her hand!' He lifted his hand to his lips and kissed it softly before saying, "I'm Youhei Sunohara."

She stepped back confused but then her eyes sparkled and she let out a giggle, "Hehe you're weird!"

'I'm such a fool! She wanted to shake hands.' He looked away to hide his beetroot red face.

"I'm new here, is that some sort of customary greeting?" She asked.

Sunohara spun back to face her, "err yeah!" He declared rubbing the back of his neck nervously.

This time it was Akiyama's turn to turn red, "Oh I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to insult your ways! I'm so thoughtless, I never stop to think before talking! I guess I have a lot to learn! I know! You can be my tour guide and teach me everything."

Sunohara couldn't believe his luck, "Your tour guide?"

"That was silly of me, wasn't it? You don't even know me. Forget I said anything okay?"

"No! I mean of course I'll be your guide!"

"Really you mean it? People here are so kind! I just know I'm going to love it here." She smiled broadly for a second and then it wavered slightly, "Except that guy. He's a creep! Oh! And a cute little girl who ran up to me in the street and declared me a weirdo because my hair was unnatural." She laughed happily, "There sure are some characters around here!"

For a moment Sunohara had a weird feeling as if he had forgotten something but dismissed it, "I'm sure a nice girl like you will fit in great!"

"Thanks!" She looked up the long street as a bus rounded the corner, "Oh this is my bus, I have to go, thanks for keeping me company!"

"Wait!" He pulled out a piece of paper and hurriedly scribbled down his number, "Call me when you want that tour."

She pocketed the paper and ran across the street nearly falling as she tripped over the kerb.

"See you later Sunohara!" She yelled back waving.

"See you Akiyama".
