"Yes, I'm talking to you, Afro-chan! Stop staring at me and speak up, or I'll help you turn bald much more earlier than that pops there with a barcode head."
Sorry pops, I ain't picking a fight with you but uh, bear with it... since you DO have a barcode head. And don't flash that head to me now, I know how bright can it reflect the sunshine already. It is still in the daylight and no man would need a free light bulb.
The result for starting up a fight(?), soon the people around us stopped and started to take a look of what is happening. Some young teens even have their mobile phones ready to take pictures and videos of the incident. How did I knew that piece of metal is a mobile phone? Well... I did do up some research before coming to the city alone, in order to prevent people from knowing that I came from the countryside and stuffs.
But then drawing people's attention is never my intention, and so I grabbed the afro's arm and dragged him to a nearby alley. Even at this time the man's mouth is, like a clam, tightly shut and does not seem to have any ways of opening it. I wonder if he will feel the pain if I punched him in the face...?
...No,no no no no NO! Why did I even bother about him staring at me? I should be happy that there is a male who would set his eyes on me, even if it's just plain staring! My "countryside girl" image is gushing out of my breath and this is bad. Really BAD.
"H-hey... Sorry about that just now. It seems like I lost myself there, and... uh... T-that's the way of speaking from my hometown, ahaha..."
In uneasiness, I scratched the back of my neck while apologizing to the af- I mean, the guy. Ew, what was I doing anyway? Why did I drag him here of all places?! Ugh... it sure looks like I'm either going to beat him up or am intending to confess to him.
I let out a sigh while slapping my forehead with my palm. Now WHAT should I do?
"..."
His eyes shined in a second, but soon turned back to his normal dead fish eyes. He turned his back and started walking out the alley, while I stood there wondering where he is heading to. Realizing I was not following him out, he turned his head over for a few seconds and pointed to a certain direction. His eyes seem to tell me that he is going to help me in giving directions, and I was very grateful he did so, although his afro is constantly getting on my nerves...I wonder what his name is, though I know that even if I ask him I bet he won't open his clam-like mouth and answer...
"Hey, what's your name? I am Asuka, Sakuba Asuka. 'Saku' as of 'new moon', 'ba' as of 'feather' ; the name 'Asuka' is the meaning of 'soaring bird'. It's a name given by my father."
As usual, no answer is given.
I sighed. I expected that though, however I did notice the expression in his eyes turned a little gentler than before. I end up doing all the talking until he stopped in front of a snack bar.
"Wha? ...Oh, a snack bar! I wonder what they serve inside...Hey! Where are you going?!"
While I was taking a peek inside the snack bar, I realized that the afro has walked away, soon forming quite a distance between us. Before he disappears completely from my sight, he slightly bowed to me, soon turned his back and left.
...Strange guy. Not only his hair and personality, even his actions are strange. But since he brought me here, so I suppose he has no ill will and I maybe can get a map or something to get my ass back to my residence.
Right.
No use standing here, I'll as well take a look inside.
"Oh? Well well..., who do we have here? "
Thank you for reviews, favourite and following!

Thanks for your advice! Haha, the story's pace could be a little slow to many people's taste but it will end up all right, if there are no accidents *lol*
Well, I guess not having English as my mother language have its limits :O Sometimes I can't figure out which part of it is awkward *sweat*

I enjoyed that arc too XD Thank you very much for your suggestions! I see, switching POVs could be confusing indeed =X though using different POVs is easier to write out that certain character's story or whatsoever...
