A/N: Yet another short chapter, but it's a chapter at least.

Destiny is for Everyone

Chapter 2

Kyo awakens as the bus pulls to a stop at the end destination. Lifting his head from its spot against the window he looks at the outside. Stretching his neck, he stands up and walks out of the bus, backpack on his left shoulder.

It's still dark outside and not many people are around. Kyo looks around for a clock, finding one close by. He's been on the bus almost five hours. Looking at the timetable for buses that can take him even farther away, he sees with disappointment that the earliest bus goes first in a few hours.

He decides to wander around town instead of just standing around waiting. Maybe see if there's some place open that sells breakfast, or anything eatable at all really. He hasn't eaten anything since dinner, and it's nearing breakfast time in a couple of hours. And stupidly enough he didn't pack anything to eat.

After some time of walking, Kyo comes upon a small store that's open. He walks inside and looks around. Picking up some pre-made sandwiches and a couple of cans with soda, he goes to the register to pay. While he pays, the girl behind the counter tries to flirt with him, but he just scowls at her and walks outside, after putting the stuff in his bag.

After getting out from the store, Kyo walks around for about half an hour, a full hour before returning to the bus station. There he takes a seat on one of the benches outside, facing the right bus stop, and opens his bag. Picking up one of the sandwiches he starts on his early breakfast, which is finished pretty quickly.

When Kyo almost has fallen asleep out of boredom, the bus arrives. Getting up from his seat and grabbing his backpack, he walks on the bus and buys a ticket to the end destination. Yet again he takes a seat in the back

*L*I*N*E*B*R*E*A*K*E*R*

Kyo spends all day on different buses, and around ten that night he's exiting the last one. Tired and stiff all over the body. Stretching out the stiff limbs, he looks up at the clear sky. 'Guess I can sleep outside tonight for simplicity.'

Walking away from the bus station, Kyo starts looking for a park or something. Anywhere there he can feel safe spending the night. After some time wandering around, he comes upon a larger park. Lots of trees and grass and so on. Walking around in it, Kyo soon spots a grove that's perfect to sleep in. He walks over there and climbs up in the largest of the trees, and sits down on a big branch; bag still secured on his back. It's not long before he's sound asleep.

*L*I*N*E*B*R*E*A*K*E*R*

Next morning Kyo wakes up and almost falls out of the tree. "Woah!" But catches himself before it's too late. "Damn. Forgot where I was for a moment." He takes a quick glance at the ground before jumping down, stretching.

He then walks out from the park, looking around the small town he's ended up in. 'I need to find a job and a place to live. Wonder how long time that can take in this small town?'

Kyo walks around for hours on end just getting to know the town a little more. First thing is to find a cheap hotel or something to check in to. 'Guess I should be glad I've put away near all the money I've ever made. I have enough to last a little while, hopefully until I manage to get a job.'

The day is spent walking around, trying to memorize where everything is, until Kyo comes upon a hotel that looks good enough. He walks inside and looks at the prizes, and decides to check in to it for indefinite time.

Inside the hotel room – Kyo's now temporary home – he drops the backpack on the floor and himself flat on the bed. Turning to his side, facing the window, he hugs a pillow and sighs. "I have a feeling this is going to be pretty tough until I get a job and an apartment." Turning over on his back, staring at the ceiling. "I guess tomorrow will be spent looking around for a job. And probably the days after that too."
