Here's Chapter one. This just tells of what happened through the years and Kanami makes a decision that leaves Kazuma shocked. You may leave a comment if you want to. Please enjoy.
Kanami had always been with Kazuma for a long time. Through the years, they kept each other company. When Kazuma was starting to make money, Kanami was allowed to stop working and attend the schools they had in the Lost Grounds. Kanami was really happy with Kazuma. She attended the school for a long time. Kazuma was finally happy to see that she was happy and she finally got to do what she wanted. Years have passed. Kanami was now seventeen. She and Kazuma were still together keeping each other alive, but tonight, Kanami has a change in mind. She had thought about it for days and finally made her choice. At dinner, she mixed Kazuma's favorite dish. Honey Ham Roast with Udon Soup.
They both sat down to eat. Kazuma was pleased with her cooking. At first she didn't eat, but then she started to.
"What's the matter with you?" asked Kazuma
"What do you mean?" asked Kanami
"You've been daydreaming all day. Are you in love or something?"
"Oh no, it's nothing like that."
"Then what's wrong?"
"I've just been thinking about school."
"Really? That's great you're thinking about education."
"Well, I really want to go to the city and attend their schools."
Kazuma stopped eating and looked at Kanami for a few seconds and then he continued with his meal.
"Why on earth do you want to move to the city? What's wrong with the schools here?" asked Kazuma
"There's nothing wrong with them Kazu-kun, I just want to have a better challenge that's all and get a better education," replied Kanami
"When did you decide this?"
"I made up my mind today. Come on, why don't you want to live in the city?"
"I'm against it! And HOLY is still there. I am not welcome there."
"That's not true Kazuma. HOLY's force has stopped. The tower is now a college and I want to go there."
"NO! I forbid you to go there!"
"Why?"
"Kanami, if you go into that city, you can never come back out. You'll be stuck in that possessed place."
"I just can't believe you!"
"I just know what's best for you!"
"I am not a child anymore! You can't tell me what to do!"
"Kanami just go! Leave me alone!"
Kanami left the table and stormed into her bedroom. She sat in the corner and started to cry.
She hated Kazuma for keeping her from going to school. She wanted to have a life of her own and he wouldn't let her take it. She knew that he had a miserable childhood and he never went to school, but she thought that he would let her go, considering all the things she did for him when he was out there fighting HOLY years ago. The clock struck midnight and the place was quiet. She assumed that Kazuma was asleep. Kanami started to get angry again about what he said to her at dinner. She got up and grabbed her backpack, she threw her school stuff in it and wrote a small letter and put it on the kitchen table. She was going to leave the Lost Grounds. Leaving Kazuma behind was going to be hard, but she had to do it before she changed her mind. She went into the kitchen and got the emergency money. She stuffed it in her pocket and headed out the front door. She quietly closed the door and headed out to the city. A few hours have passed.
Kanami checked her watch and it said two-thirty five. She could see the city walls in the distance. Walking was taking forever. At four-ten, she made it to the entrance of the city and she was exhausted. She sat down for awhile to rub her feet. After a few minutes of rest, she got back up on her sore feet and walked through the entrance. Some people were up and about. They seemed happy and were enjoying their walk outside. Kanami walked around and tried to locate the college. She eventually found it. She looked up at the tower and backed up into somebody. She fell over the person.
"Are you okay?" the person said
"Yeah," replied Kanami
"I've never seen you before?"
"Oh, I'm new in town and I'm going to go to the college here."
"I'm going to attend myself. What's your name?"
"Kanami."
"Hi Kanami, I'm Suka."
"Nice to meet you, but I wasn't planning to fall over you."
"It happens. Come on let's get inside and try to get some classes."
"When do the classes start?"
"Classes don't begin for another two weeks."
"Two weeks? I'm early."
"What's the matter?"
"Oh, Nothing. I was just thinking out loud."
"Well, where's your room?"
"I don't have one yet."
"Whoa. You weren't kidding. You are new around here. Looks like I have to give you a tour and help you find a place to stay."
"Well thank you."
"It's no problem."
Kanami and Suka walked together through the city. Back in the Lost Grounds, Kazuma woke up and looked around for Kanami. He realized that she wasn't anywhere. He looked around calling her name, but then he saw a note on the table. He picked it up and read it. At first he was shocked and then he was angry. He crumbled up the note and threw it across the room.
"If she's going to screw up her life, then she can go the hell ahead. She'll be sorry and I won't get her out of trouble," Kazuma said to himself.
He got ready and went to work, he forgot about breakfast, but his mind wasn't on food. He was thinking about Kanami and why she left him. He started thinking that he may have been too hard on her, but he didn't want her to go to the city. Kazuma was starting to get angry at himself. He continued his way to work and tried to get Kanami out of his mind.
