The Bliss of Akari Sakurazawa Chap.1

There stood before me was a girl with a chocolate brown, tomboyish hair style with striking amber eyes. Even with the thought she would come out as a cheery and loud person, it seemed the other way around. She was as cold looking as ice, quiet as the dead night, especially with that scowl of hers. Very unlady like… Well, in my opinion.

Father's smile grew even larger, "Akari, please fill in the registration forms to clarify your citizenship here!" I clearly heard the emphasis on the words clarify your citizenship. Father must be getting too excited about the new comer. As father dashed out the building, I swore I saw him dancing wildly from the window.

Akari calmly approached the registration forms and quickly got to work, she grabbed a pen, then she scribbled down on the lines. A few minutes later, she dropped the pen down and was done.

"I'm done, good day." From the obvious, she was a woman of VERY few words. As the doors closed behind her back, Elli grabbed the papers and started staring at them like a mad woman. "This is our chance Gill! We can get to know more about her!" I eyed her suspiciously." I believe it's a violation of privacy, especially to a new person we barely knew." She pouted like a child in response. "Oh Gill, you can be such a kill joy!" I turned away. Elli screamed. "OH JUST READ IT!!" She slammed the papers on my face! That was really rude! "Gah! Fine, if you want me to read it so badly then okay!" Elli threw her fist in the air. "Yes!" Today was officially the most irritable day ever…

I slowly opened the folder, revealing its content:

"Well, that was short, not so helpful…" Elli pouted.

Pretty soon, the Town Hall closed. I decided to go out for a walk, it has been awhile since I had one so I visited Caramel Falls. I used to go there when I was young. Long before the Mother Tree died. Being here made me feel the need to thing about it all over and over again. And surprisingly, I fell asleep. The moment my eyes shot wide open, the sky was dark and the moon sat on top of the clouds, Little flares of orange rested on top of the horizon, with stars sparkling everywhere. " Oh Damn it! Father will be so cross!" I rushed away hoping I would make it in time before my father would arrive home and not to worry him. On my way, I came across a figure from the distance, I couldn't make out the face of the person, due to the darkness that was quickly falling. He or she held a hoe, tilling the barren soil apart, the figure seemed to nearly collapse every time it struck the dry soil. With the help of the faint twinkle of the stars, I noticed the familiar amber eyes gleaming through the darkness, I finally realized the direction I was looking at the whole time, Tailwind Ranch.

I walked slowly home, disbelieving that a frail looking girl would work to her limit, I bet she would end up in the clinic first thing in the morning( which I surely hope wouldn't happen, for concern of my fellow islanders). I was definitely doing to write this down.

"She just might do it…"
