Just my Luck Ch.1
Tokyo, the epitome of business, anime, and cafes, was given a new name, Shinto Teito, and is still as prosperous as ever if not slightly less crowded if the number of people rushing to and from work symbolized anything. A young man wearing plain black jeans, white long sleeved button-down shirt, and sneakers was walking into a small apartment complex and headed into his room and heaved out a loud sigh.
The apartment wasn't anything special and came with all the necessities, bathroom, kitchen, a small table to eat your meals on and a small bedroom. A loud knock was heard on the door and he opened it without hesitation to see his landlady, an old woman in traditional Japanese dress. "Hei Liang your rent is due today. Do you have the money dear?" The old woman asked her tenant in her tired, sweet voice and he nodded his head and gave her his payment. "Thank you dear see you next month." She left promptly after that little exchange and he closed the door and headed into his small bedroom to get his wallet and do some shopping for the day. Stuffing his wallet into his pocket he exited his apartment only to stop as he spotted a crow looking straight him from the tree it was perched in a few feet away and he frowned at that. "Lovely, today is going to be very unlucky for me. I better hurry up."
Stretching his legs a bit he jogged into the center of the city, which was less than a few minutes walk from his apartment, and headed into the closest market to buy his groceries and got the feeling that a mountains worth of stress was about to be forced onto his shoulders, something he knew he wasn't going to like. Nonetheless, he bought his food, paid for it, and left the market to go take a walk around the busy city.
"I wonder what I should do to pass the time? I really hope it'll help this feeling of apprehension go away." He thought to himself and frowned at such a thing, if his mother knew what he was thinking he would have to go straight back to Luoyang which was the very reason he moved to Tokyo in the first place. Making a turn at a crosswalk he bumped into something and stumbled back, rubbing his chest due to the force of the impact. "Someone must be in a hurry but damn that hurt!" Ignoring the dull pain in his chest he looked down to see a woman in nothing but a lab coat and undergarments. "Miss, you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?" Taking a knee he helped the woman up and noticed her long purple colored hair and her slender body but he needed to ignore that in order to help her. "I'm fine." She said with a shiver and he led her back to his apartment where she could warm up and satisfy his curiosity. After he closed the door once she got in he began to put away his groceries which he thankfully didn't drop after meeting this woman. "So tell me, why are you dressed like that? Did you run away from somewhere or something?" His questions remained unanswered but he didn't mind so once he finished with his groceries he brought her one of his plain white shirts and gave it to her. "Wear this, you can change in my bedroom." She took the shirt in her hands and bowed her head and he saw how smooth her long legs looked but he pushed that thought aside. "Thank you, you're very kind." She said to him and made her way into his room to change and he quickly went to make her something to eat. "This woman better not be a symbol of bad luck."
In the middle of Tokyo atop the tower known as MBI a man dressed in all white spread out his arms as though making a grand gesture to an imaginary audience. "The stage is set for the game to begin. All the pieces are placed where they should be and all the actors are ready to do their part in this grand play. Ladies and gentleman, ready yourselves for the ultimate game of love, loss, hope, and victory!" The mans smile was maniacal but somewhere in the many floors of that tall tower a real source of misfortune would befall our hero, or maybe it's a massive stroke of good fortune depending on who you ask.
Disclaimer: The only thing that's mine is my OC and this story. I don't own Sekirei obviously or I wouldn't be writing this. I'm a complete rookie at this so please try to gentle on your criticism and if you don't like this story for whatever reason then don't read it. Anyway hopefully this enough positive feedback to give me a reason to make this a multiple chapter story. Thanks for reading this.
