I was simply walking home; nothing unusual for a 9 year old in Japan. My dark brown curls bounced rhythmically in time time with each step. Perfect for my little song I sang. "Thats the story of, thats the glory of love" I sang my favorite song. My brown eyes then looked at my textbook, memorizing this foreign language. "A, a, O. Ka, ka, Ka Ki Ku Ke Ko" I sang this alphabet song, trying to memorize these sounds and symbols. I went on throughout the song, focused on the language for now. If I'm going to kill people in Japan, at least take some time to learn the language. God knows how long I'll be here. "Wa Wo N!" I sang before bumping into someone. "gomenasai!" I immediately apologized, hearing the sound of books dropping as I bowed down. "It's okay" the voice said, bending down to pick up his things. I did so as well, collecting my alphabet sheet and bible and stuff.
Soon all that was left was a scrap piece of paper. I reached for it, trying to return it to this stranger. But the very second before I could touch it he snatched it away from me; like he was trying to prevent me from making contact with it. I raised my eyebrow slightly at this behavior, but never asked him about it. Wasn't my business anyways.
"Arigato" he thanked me. "Dou itashimashite" I said your welcome with a bow. "That accent, your not Japanese are you?" He questioned. "Ie. I am originally from Russia. I just moved here" I explained. I finally took the time to look at this person. He looked like a college student, light chocolate hair flopping in all the right places.
"Oh, I'm sorry! I should introduce myself" i then realized. "Watashi no namae wa, Wakahisa Esther desu. Douzo yoroshiku" i introduced with an angelic bow. Translation: my name is Esther Wakahisa. Nice to meet you. (Authors note: for Esther's adoptive family, I chose Wakahisa since it means "forever young", which is exactly what Esther is. Not really important to the story though). He then introduced himself as Light Yagami.
"Anyways, it was very nice to meet you Mr. Yagami, but i have to go" I excused myself from our conversation. "Sayonara" I said my goodbyes before leaving.
