Yooooooo~ Hello guys! How is it going? Did you like the first chapter? And, I'm sorry, that this is a bit late too. If you followed the first part of this story few years ago, you might remember that I posted a chapter always before the new episode of the anime came out. I'd still like to do this like that, but it's more difficult to me now. But maybe I can come up with a some kind of solution. I think. But hey, now, a time to continue the story~!
People. There were lots of people. Going here and there, maybe by walking, sometimes with a car. Shizume City was alive. A young man sighed. He was sitting a top of a building, following the moving mass of people with his eyes. He had been there for a while now, and he had visited that on that spot everyday. He was trying to find something, someone. He dug his phone from his pocket, to check how much the clock already was. He then put it back, and rose on his feet, ready to leave that place.
"..time to check from other places then.", Kuroh mumbled to himself. It was so difficult, to search for someone when you had no clue where they could be. He had been searching all over Shizume City, for nothing. But still, he knew that the one he was looking for was there somewhere. He had to be somewhere in the city. Kurt was sure about it.
After a moment Kuroh was on the surface, walking with those other people. He was checking his phone now and then. Just to check the clock, or if lieutenant had send him anything. Kuroh sighed, and decided to visit at local coffee shop. Maybe he could take a break, and rest a little. Or not. But still, having a cup of coffee wouldn't be so bad. So, after a moment he had walked in the shop. It was small and cozy, and had a good atmosphere. He went and ordered a cup of coffee, on the go. At first he would liked to sit there, inside and just relax a bit, but then he thought that maybe it would just be better to keep working. Or, so he thought, just before he stepped out of the coffee shop. A single 'oh fuck no' string of words echoed in his mind when he heard a girl shouting something and then he found himself from the ground. With his coffee spilled all over him. He heard some whimpering, and saw a young girl with long, pastel pink hair.
"Oi, girl, you should try to watch where you're going.", Kuroh started as he got back up. The girl was still sitting on the ground, but she quickly jumped up, grabbed Kuroh's arm and just exclaimed,
"This way! Quickly!"
Kuroh really had no time to react. He was puzzled.
"He-hey! Where you're taking me?", the black haired man tried to ask, but the girl just kept dragging him along. And soon Kuroh heard some angry shouts and voices behind them. Was something after them? Was something after the girl? Kuroh didn't know. Or actually he really wasn't sure if he wanted to know.
'..I'm too old for this.', he thought and sighed.
Soon the shouts and screams faded away, and Kuroh was sitting behind an old, small warehouse with his new companion. He let his thoughts clear a little, before he decided to talk to the girl.
"..ok. Now I assume that we're safe. So, can you please tell me who the fuck are you and what the heck that was?", he then asked from the girl. The girl was playing her hair a little, but stopped when Kuroh spoke. She seemed to think a little before answering.
"Those people doesn't like me. They say that I'm not allowed to be here. I thought that I'd give them a small lesson, but it didn't go as planned, eheh…. But, people call me Neko.", the mysterious girl then gave some pieces of information to Kuroh and also introduced herself. But still, Kuroh wasn't really satisfied.
"Ok then..? But why don't they like you? Also, I'm Kuroh. And you owe me a coffee."
"Nice to meet you, Kuroh. And..they just doesn't like me. It isn't really that important. But hey, I'm sorry. And it seems to be safe to go now, so I can buy the coffee for you. It really was my fault."
After that Neko stood up, and gave a small smile to Kuroh. He sighed and stood up too.
Soon the new duo had found their way into another coffee shop. And this time Kuroh had decided to stay inside and drink his coffee. He was sitting next to the window with Neko, looking outside. They hadn't really spoken anything to each other in a while, and it seemed that Neko started to be a bit frustrated from the silence between them.
"..sooooo, you look pretty young. Do you have any work?", she then decided to ask, and broke the silence. Kuroh shifted his gaze to Neko, and took a small sip from his coffee.
"Yes, I have a job. But I don't really want to talk about it. But right now I'm on a mission.", he then told to her.
"Oooh, a mission! Sounds cool. Hey hey, what kind of mission it is?", Neko seemed to be very interested in what Kuroh had said.
"Aah..I'm on a mission to find someone who is very important to me. But I don't really have any clue where he'd might be.", Kuroh said. Neko's excitement died a little bit and she fell silent for a while.
"Hey, Kuroh.", she started, "I might be able to help you to find this person. Take it as a repayment for the trouble I caused you today.", she then told him, with a smile.
"Really? That would be..thank you. I'd really appreciate it."
Neko then started to ask who they were looking for. Kuroh then decided to tell her most of the things. And somehow he felt that maybe he'd be able to find Shiro now. A small smile appeared on his lips. Maybe this day hadn't been so bad at all.
..and that's all for now~ Maybe we see Kuroh and Neko again in a next chapter? Or we might see Saruhiko again? Hmm, dunno, dunno~ Well, see you again next time~
