More than just Scars.

Chapter 2: Arrival

"Now boarding all priority level passengers to Sri Lankan flight 5951 to Tokyo, Japan." a female voice rang over the intercom, waking me up from my blissful little daydream.

I sighed as I stood up and grabbed my school bag from next to the seat I was sitting on and threw it over my shoulder. At least I got to sit in first class on the way there.

As I presented my boarding pass to the woman behind the counter, I noticed her eyes fixed on my scar. I frowned and she quickly looked down, embarrassed that I had caught her looking at it.

After typing in a few things on the small computer and scanning my pass she handed it back to me with a quiet thank you. I nodded and after putting my sunglasses back on I started walking down the small chute that led outside, before someone behind me yelled.

"Hey wait!" I stopped and turned around only to find a girl who came up to my nose smiling at me. Her hair was the brightest shade of pink I had ever seen, and it was shaped to look like drills at the end of the locks on her shoulders. She was quite obviously Japanese, as she had said that in her native tongue by mistake.

"May I help you?" I asked her, a small grin on my face, she was almost bouncing in place as she realized I too spoke Japanese. She then beamed at me and with a laugh brought what was in her hands up to my face.

"You dropped your phone when you were walking~" She said with a smile handing it to me.

"Oh, I didn't even notice that I had dropped it!" I smiled at her, and noticed she was signing everything she said to me, and everything I said as well. I noticed the girl who had joined her side and figured out quickly she must be deaf, and the girl with pink hair must have been her translator.

"Wahahaha!" She laughed loudly, but i noticed she was still signing something.

[He's kinda cute isn't he?] I looked over at her friend who nodded slowly, then signed

[I guess so, but it's not like you'll ever see him again.] the girl kept smiling all the same and at this point we had slowly made our way outside, and were nearing the stairs into the plane.

I gazed down at my ticket at where I was sitting. Second row of first class? I could handle that.

I heard the girl mention that her name was Misha, and that her friend was Shizune, she went on to talk a.

I nodded, looking back to give Misha a bit of a grin, and I noticed a hint of a blush.

"It's nice to meet you both. I'm Jay." I decided to sign this myself, and noticed the blush on Misha's face grow even brighter. That effectively shut her up for a while, until we noticed we were seated next to each other on the plane ride to Japan. Shizune sat directly across from us, so it was still possible for her to communicate with Misha and vice versa.

The flight was going to be a long one, and to my dismay Misha was actually extremely quiet for the first few hours. Spending her time signing with Shizune, leaving me to entertain myself for a while. I spent most of this by reading the few books I brought in my bag.

I was about to find out exactly where Waldo was, when I felt someone jabbing my shoulder. After closing my book I looked over at her.

"Yes?"

"I'm just wondering, why are you wearing sunglasses Jun~?" Misha asked me, and I barely managed to keep a laugh suppressed.

"I have...er...sensitive eyes." I said quietly, this was a complete lie, but I didn't feel like she needed to know at the moment.

"Why'd you call me Jun?"

"Wahahahah~ Because I like nicknames!" Her laugh was surprisingly loud, and it caused multiple people around us to turn towards us. I looked downwards, embarrassed but Misha failed to notice it.

"Oh...ok then." I was going to go back to reading but I felt her poke me a few more times.

"Hey~ Hey Jay!"

I closed my book again and slid it into my backpack.

"Yes Misha?"

"Can you take your glasses off?" This question took me off guard, and I raised an eyebrow.

"Why?"

"I want to see your scar."

"...Wha-How"

"They don't cover it fully~" She said with a wide grin, and I sighed as I took off my glasses.

"Happy?" I asked, which she nodded happily in response.

"Yup~!" She smiled, and we spent the next few hours just talking, I was in the middle of answering her questions about where I was raised, when I realized that she had gone much too quiet, and looked over to see she had fallen asleep on my shoulder. I smiled at her and looked over to Shizune, who briefly noted my existence, before going back to doing whatever seemed so important on her laptop. I shrugged and decided to take a small nap myself.

Ok so maybe a long nap. I woke up to the sound of the captains voice announcing we would soon be landing. I looked over and noticed Misha was still asleep on my arm, but at this point I noticed something else, she had tears running down her cheeks as she slept.

I didn't neccesarily know what to do in the situation, and I looked over at Shizune to see if she could help me out.

As she was also asleep, I didn't think she would be all that helpfull in the situation.

Deciding that I had a legitiment enough reason to wake her up, I did so, by gently shaking her.

"Misha...Misha wake up." I whispered into her ear, and after three or four times she started to stir.

"What, what is it?" She asked, looking at me, wiping her eyes.

"I just wanted to make sure you were ok, plus we will be landing soon." I added the second part incase the first was not a good enough reason afterall.

She smiled, not as largely as I had grown used to in the short time I had known her, and then leaned up and kissed me on the cheek.

"Thank you."
