~ I received an anonymous review, and this is the only way I could reply to it: Thanks for the title suggestion, I'll consider it :) though, I must apologize, because I'm afraid I can't include your OC in my story, sorry. :( I've already long thought up the characters for this story, and even most of the plot. (I've written a lot more that what's on here too, I'm just lazy with uploading…) It would be really difficult to work your character into the story. sorry :/ ~
Our little "adventure" hasn't exactly gotten off to a start yet. Mi went to the bank or something to get money for transportation (we really don't know where we're going, so he has no idea how much money we'll need. oh well), and Akia and I went and got some snacks and whatnot, in case we get hungry (much quicker than trying to find someplace to eat). We walk towards the bus stop we agreed to meet up at afterwards. I just hope Mi's already there. It's getting dark, and I don't want to have to wait for him. Akia skips happily down the sidewalk, carrying the bag with our food in it (I really hope she doesn't drop it. I'm not eating dirty crackers). Since it's getting dark and all, we figured we'd take the bus to a hotel or something (weird as it might sound, I've never actually stayed in a hotel before. funfun). Akia starts talking about how she wants to go to the beach, and something else I don't quite hear. My attention's directed elsewhere.
"Did you hear that?" I ask, straining to identify the sound.
Akia stops skipping.
"Huh? Hear what?" she asks.
I hear it again. It's coming from farther up the sidewalk. Sounds like someone arguing with someone else. I grab Akia's arm, and hurry down the sidewalk, searching for the source of the shouting.
"Wh-where are we going?" Akia asks, but I clamp my hand over her mouth before she can say anything else.
Peering around the edge of a building, I glance down the alleyway that the sound was coming from. I was right it seems. There was and argument going on. I squint, trying to see whoever it is, but the alleyway's too dark. In any case, I hear what they're saying (isn't this considered eavesdropping?).
"So where is it then?" one guy asks, sounding thoroughly aggravated.
"I don't..I don't have it, I t-told you!" another guy says, his voice sounds weak, like he'd been beaten up or something.
The first guy seems even more angry now,
"Look, if I don't get my boss his ¥2,000,000, he's gonna kill me!"
What the? So the other guy owes him money? That's a lot though…
"I said I don't have it!" the other shouts, obviously straining to raise his voice (and his voice seems oddly familiar).
It's gotten a lot darker now, and the street lights slowly flicker on. I gasp. I suddenly realize why I recognized that voice.
"Taio-san!"
(oh crap, I shouldn't have done that) The guy that was yelling at him is huge.
"Oh, so what do we have here?" he says, "Friends of yours?"
Taio glares at me.
"Hardly," he says.
The big guy snickers.
"Then I guess they won't mind if I do this!
He punches Taio in the stomach, and he instantly collapses. Akia gasps this time, but I'm frozen right to the spot. Some other, lanky-looking guy steps from out of the shadows.
"Satō-sama! Why would you do that in from of them?" he exclaims, yelling at the big guy (whose name is apparently Satō), "Now they'll go and tell someone!"
His words seem to unsettle Satō a bit, and he grabs him by the shirt collar.
"Why didn't you stop me then, you ass!" he runs off, dragging the lanky man with him.
Akia and I exchange glances, then run over to Taio.
"T-Taio-san, are you ok?" I ask, not quite sure what to do.
"D-does it look..like I'm ok?" he gasps, wincing in pain.
He coughs up blood. This is bad. Really, really bad.
