I stared out of the window of the plane. I wasn't too fond of heights, but this was slightly pleasant. I sighed and closed my eyes, putting on my headphones and listening to music. I began to drift into my imaginary world. Here, I could do what ever I wanted, and the music influenced that. The music would always determine when I would go. This song took me to the city, where bright lights flashed everywhere and the singer had an extremely sassy attitude. With music, I felt happy and like I belonged.
Ty always would bitch at me for blasting music and not listening to him. After we first met, he was really protective and tried his best to feed me, clothe me and take care of before himself. We did grow really close, but it became weird when I found out I was gay. When he would hug me, or hold me when we would sleep, I would start getting dirty thoughts of him. I didn't want to freak him out honestly. America may be more free then most countries on sexuality, but it was still frowned upon by some people. Honestly I didn't know if Ty was one of those people who would be scared of a gay guy. I didn't want to find out.
As soon as I got off of the plane, I felt completely lose, worried, panicked and scared. But I had to find Sei. I wanted to see him so badly, and I want to know more about myself. How was he my brother, and how did he get inside of my head. I sighed and slowly walked up and down the streets of where I thought he might be. I'm far too shy to actually ask anyone for help. I know I'm pretty stupid but I really did hate asking people for help. I suppose I felt weak when I did.
There didn't really seem to be any cars around here. But everything else was so technologically advanced. I felt like a caveman compared to everyone else. I lived in a trailer with just a tv. I didn't even have a cellphone. I saw people talking on their coils, which were like cellphones. It was interesting, but I tried my best to keep away from everyone. I did feel like everyone was staring my down.
I sighed, holding my bag close, I took back roads and all alleyways to avoid anyone else's attention. I only went down the roads where I saw little or no people, so I had absolutely no idea where I was going. It became darker and I still had no idea where I was or where to start looking. I stood alone for a few seconds, gathering my thoughts.
"Hey, who are you? Some brat walking our turf?" Said a voice behind me. I quickly turned my head to see three men standing together. I held my bag tighter. Was I going to get mugged?
"Didn't you hear him? What the hell are you doing here?" I flinched. I had to put on a tough front at least..
"It's not really any of your business. Bug off." I began to walk, trying to get away from them. Maybe saying that wasn't the best idea.
"What the hell did you say?" One of the guys grabbed my arm and yanked me back. In retaliation I turned and punched him, hoping he'd let go so I could make a run for it. My luck of course was that he only got more pissed and gripped my arm tighter.
"You little son of a bitch." The man raised his fist as I stuggled to fight to get free. But my weak body was a downfall. I closed my eyes, shaking, ready for in impact.
"Don't hit the kid." A different voice said softly. I slowly opened one of my eyes, seeing a man with a red and black jacket and dark red hair. He had a tattoo of a tear on his cheek.
"This brat hit me first." The man holding my arm protested.
"I bet you just scared him. He doesn't look like he's from around here anyways. Just let him go okay?" The man smiled. The other man holding my arm leg go. I quickly backed away, holding my now bruised arm. I wish my skin wasn't so fragile. The man with dark red hair walked over to me.
"Are you okay? Sorry about that." He gently touched my arm. "They're just protecting our turf is all. My name is Mizuki. Whats your name?" He asked, sliding his hand off of my arm.
"Mo-momota." I said softly. He seemed kind hearted. I don't think he would hurt me. But my judgement is pretty bad. I should just keep my guard up.
"Momota. It's nice to meet you. Where are you from? You have an accent."
"I..I do? Oh..Um..I'm from America." I said softly, keeping my eyes on my arm.
"America? Pretty far away, why'd you come here? Did you just find out that you were able to get here?" He asked crossing his arms.
"What do you mean? Was no one able to get here before?"
"Yep, we were pretty much cut off from everywhere else." He said with a slight smile. Strange..Why would Sei tell me to find him then? What if I came earlier? Is that why he said to wait til I was old enough? I sighed.
"So, what are you doing here?" He asked tiling his head.
"I came here to find my older brother..I don't know where to look so I'm kinda lost." I told him truthfully. I doubted he could help but it was worth a shot.
"Older brother? What's his name? Maybe he's part of Dry Juice." He said. Dry Juice? I looked up at Mizuki and tilted my head. "Oh Dry Juice is my gang." I nodded slightly. Gang wars, maybe he wasn't so nice.
"His name is Sei..He has black hair and dark eyes." As I spoke, Mizuki held his head.
"Uh..Kinda rings a bell. I can't really remember too well. Maybe I'll remember in a little." He laughed slightly. Something was strange. He seemed half dead when I mentioned Sei.
"I see. I should keep looking then.." I turned and began to walk. Mizuki gently grabbed my shoulder.
"Why don't you come with me. Maybe it'll come to me soon. Plus you shouldn't wander around at night. It isn't the safest place for a kid."
"I'm not a kid. I'll be fine." I shook him off and kept walking. He followed close behind.
"I wanna help you. Come on, just come back to my place okay? I promise you'll be safe. I really don't think you should be alone here. You don't know the area and cops here don't help worth shit. Just come with me." He pleaded. He had a point. I don't know anyone or anything here. I could get lost easily and never be able to get home. I sighed and turned to him.
"Fine, I'll go with you. But if any of your friends try anything, I wont hesitate to hurt you all." I said with a stern expression. Mizuki just smiled and held my hand, pulling me in a different direction. I'm a little scared and nervous. If something happened to me..Would Sei be sad? Would he be waiting forever for me?
