You've changed so much. You've grown to be such a handsome man..." Yama blushed. " So how old are you now? " " Eighteen.'' he replied. " So why did you come by?" " I came to see Akiko. Is she around?'' Charlie and Vivian stared to cry.
" I'm sorry to say, but we haven' t seen her for five years! The last time we saw her, she was walking out dog to the park..." Yama was shocked beyond belief. " So your saying she's gone for good?" Yama didn't know what else to do. " You're just going to give up on your only niece?!" " Yama the poliece couldn't find anything , we called them them everyday to see if they could find anything... but it's time to continue your lives, and show should you!" And they closed the door.
Yama came to a conclusion, he knew that Akiko isn't dead, she wouldn't just disappear like that without at least telling him. His goal now was to track down Akiko, and bring her back home. - - - -
In Yama's room, he got out a town map, pencils, papers, etc. He started jotting down all the places where they used to go. Yama ran to every place on the sheet of paper, using the map if needed, and asked people if they have seen her. Some said, " No, who is she?" , " Does she go to school?" , and " Hope you find her, and good luck!" All seemed lost, but he had to keep going and find his best friend, Akiko.
"Today was the day , twelve years ago, when Akiko's parents died in a ar crash." He thought it was a good idea to lay down some flowers on their graves. All of a sudden, he sees a tall woman walk out of the flower shop, holding a boquet of roses. Yama walked into the shop to buy two white lilies, payed and left.
He runs and catches up to the lady. " Miss please excuse me for a moment... I am trying to find my friend... The lady turns arounf." Yama shows the woman a picture, and throws it away in the garbage. " I'll look for friend if I see her... whats his/her name?" Yama blushed a little. " A-Akio Shima! She went missing for a year now..." The lady gasped. " I see you must like this friend hmm?
Yama blushed. " Not all .. we are just friends..." " So this Akiko Shima... are you talking about the vampire hunter and guardian of Cross Academy?" " I dunno..." shrugged Yama.
" What does she look like?" Yama tried to remember. " She's like 5' 5", light blue hair, and green eyes, like the color of leaves about to turn the color of fall..." yama blushed a little. " Oh and can be a klutz sometimes..."
The lady took Yama's hand, and ran to her car. " Ma'am, I'm sorry, but please let go my hand!" The lady let go of his hand. " Look kid do you want to find your friend.. this Akiko...?" "Y-yes.." The lady took his hand once again. They get to her car. " Get in!" Yama shook his head.
"Kid I have somewhere to be... either you get in, or not.. I have somewhere to be!" " I'll drive you there..." Yama got in the back seat. and closed the car door. " To-" Yama got cut off. " What if I said I knew where this girl was...?!"
The lady closed her door, and turned the car on. " Where are we going?" asked Yama in a confused state. The lady looked in the rear-view mirror. The lady smiled . " To Cross Academy!" And she stepped on the gas pedal. " Wait for me AKiko.. I'm coming!" Yama thought.
