hi hi.

I wanted to upload this ever since I got this weird idea.... I only recently finished it.

Hope you like it.


Jackel was sitting on the port looking out over the endless sea.

The port long ago was one of the busiest parts of the city. It had boats too big for some people to even imagine. It was crowded with people. Now it was empty, forgotten, forsaken.

Jackel could still see the boats coming and going. He could still hear the laughing of people. He could still smell the fishy smell that always gave him a slightly nauseous feeling. He sighed. He still remembered how he got here.

The wind slowly brushed past his face. He sighed he should've seen it coming.

It all started quite some time ago when he first heard that conversation.

"Three million."

Jackel being the curious kid he was slowly made his way down the stairs to hide behind the door. He had been curious when the rich man entered their house. He didn't understand why rich people would enter a house that was falling down from misery.

"We'll pay I promise." His mother whined.

"You said that the last three times."

"Please." His mother begged.

Jackel by now realized something was wrong. He was rather smart and he even realized what was wrong. He shifted and wondered what his parents did to got such a dept.

"I don't take pleads. You have a wrong person to be indebted to."

Jackel was so sucked up in listening to the conversation that he hadn't noticed he slowly crept closer to the door.

The man opened the door in anger and looked at the rather young Jackel. He smirked.

Jackel having a bad feeling got up and backed away.

"You didn't tell me you had a kid." He said. He turned amused to Jackel's parents.

His mother seemed nervous.

His father.... well it was hard to tell how his father felt.

The man left at that.

Jackel had felt something was wrong but he hadn't been able to figure it out precisely.Jackel had got himself a job. He sold vegetables on a market not far from his home. It had been almost two years since he last saw the man and he had almost forgotten it. He was tired and just wanted to sleep when he started his walk home. He opened the door calling he was home. He froze as he saw who came walking towards him. He guarded himself.


"Jackel is it right?"

Jackel looked guarded at the man. "Yes."

"Do you still remember what you heard when you last eavesdropped on your parents and my conversation?"

Jackel remembered so he nodded.

The man grinned. "Here I thought you might've forgotten. Then it will save me some explaining."

Jackel looked at the man fearing what was to come.

"Come with me nicely."

"Where to?" Jackel asked not planning on moving even an inch from the place he was standing now.

"Japan I believe."

Jackel was dumbstruck. "What?" He asked confirming if he heard correctly.

"You'll be going to Japan." The man chuckled. "Don't worry it won't be all bad. At least I don't think so."

Jackel was completely frozen to the spot.

The man looked annoyed now. "Come with me." He pulled a still lifeless Jackel with him.

As soon as Jackel realized what was going on he started to struggle.

The man turned around angry and slapped him in his face causing Jackel to stop his struggle for a brief moment. "Listen and listen carefully." He hissed. "I can send you to far worse places. You'll have it relatively nice if you stop struggling this very moment you have no chance of escaping anyway."


Jackel looked how the water rushed. He somehow had seen this place as a new start.


Jackel got pulled out the boat. He got a bit pale and he lost some weight. He looked tired and a bit sick.

The man looked disapproving at him. "Tch." He then pulled Jackel with him and pushed him towards a car. The man let go of Jackel for a second to open the door.

Jackel had not that much confidence in his strength or his intellect but he had confidence in his speed and stamina. The moment he got released he turned around and started running. He heard the man calling and saw people follow him. He didn't know the way but he had no place to run to anyway. He rounded another corner and he could hear people closing in on him.

"Follow me." He heard a whisper.

In his need to escape he followed the whisper without thinking of the possible consequences.

They came to a halt in a filthy street.

Jackel immediately started to question his own decision. He finally turned to his 'savior'.

"Genichirou." The boy said.

Jackel thought the boy couldn't be much older than him. "Why did you help me?"

"Who were you running from?"

Both didn't answer.

"Gen-chan that's no way to act." A brunette said as he playfully hit the back of Genichirou's head. "Shuusuke." The boy introduced himself. "Genichirou helped you because he, even though he looks like a small monster, is actually really nice." Shuusuke chuckled.

Jackel looked slightly surprised.

"What's your name?" Shuusuke asked.

"Jackel." Jackel answered not knowing if it was wise to answer.

"Jackel, you don't look Japanese at all."

"My great aunt is Japanese."

"You're visiting her?" Shuusuke asked happily.

"No." Jackel said.

"Who were you running from?" Shuusuke asked letting his curiosity out.

Jackel didn't really know what to answer.

"You don't have to answer." Shuusuke said. "But if you need somewhere to stay you can come with us. I can see you're one of us."

"One of you?"

"I can see it in your eyes." Shuusuke smiled.

"My eyes?" Jackel was curious now.

"They show wisdom beyond your age. Something all children of the streets have."

Jackel looked slightly surprised. He didn't really live on the streets just yet. He had to admit his previous life was comparable to living on the streets but still.

"You're coming, Jackel?" Shuusuke asked as he turned to walk away.

Jackel nodded before following the strangers who soon would be his friends.
