A New Life

Chapter 9

29 August, 2013

Central Shopping District

Signing Marzeal up for the police was easier than had been previously thought. Dojima was all for having another highschooler join the ranks, it just took a small stack of paperwork and a short interview and he was on the force. The police uniform and even a gun license coming with the deal. Even he was very surprised at just how easy this was, you walk in and an hour later you have a gun and jurisdiction to use it.

Dojima thought it would be a good idea for the two new highschoolers to get their training from someone their age, so both Marzeal and Kyme were walking around the shopping distirict on a 'basic patrol' with Naoto. Their job- walk back and forth and wait until something interesting happened. The people in the shopping district were nice, all of them greeting the young police officers as they walked past the various shops, which were getting more and more numerous every year. The bike shop has re-opened, and there's now a hobby shop and another pharmacy on the street. Occasionally, one of the new recruits would point at one of the stores and try to convince the others to go in, failing every time.

After a while, they got hungry, so Naoto decided to go into one of the stores and get something for the three of them to eat, while the other two waited on a bench outside. To pass the time, Marzeal reached into his pocket, and pulled out an MP3 player. Having nothing else to do, Kyme watched intently as he put on his headphones and turned up the volume.

She became even more curious when Marzeal started bobbing his head, and began humming along with the song "- What are you listening to?" He didn't hear her, and instead of responding to the question, his humming turned into a more audible singing.

"Friend is the phone and the cigarettes and the sun came out today

And you're waiting for the turn in your back

The lies, deceit, dirty looks, and the things they like to say

It's the curve that made your confidence crack"

Kyme's eyes began to widen, not only did she recognize the song, but Marzeal was singing it perfectly.

Still unaware of his audience, Marzeal keeps going.

"This is your life, it's all been ordinary

Do you find all you were?

Then you find your life is all but something ordinary

And you're longing for home, you're gonna find yourself at home

Oh no, you're gonna find yourself at home

You're gonna find yourself at...

You're gonna find yourself at home

Oh no, you're gonna find yourself at home"

As the song winds down, he looks to his left, and instantly remembers where he is.

"Wow! That was amazing!"Kyme squeals as Marzeal recoils in shock, his headphones falling off his ears to a comfortable position around his neck. "Your voice is so great! Can you do it again?" Marzeal could see a blush forming on her face, before realizing that the one on his is much more intense.

"Uh.. well.."The bush gets even more intense on both of their faces.

"Please! Pretty please! I'll bake you a cake!"

"A cake? You're on!" The blush on Marzeals face becomes lighter, though still present, as he goes through his MP3 player for a good song. "Ah, here's one!"

The song starts playing...

"Once again, I'm back in the lab.

Cleaning my knives, ready for stabs

I never committed a crime I had to

Out of necessity I done 'couple"

- And Naoto walks out of the store at this moment... and walks back in.

Author's Notes:

I'm Sorry I haven't posted anything in a while, I just couldn't figure out how to do this chapter in a way that satisfies me. So, I might be getting back in to this story now, but don't expect as many daily updates.

Thanks to R4z0R for convincing me to start this up again, and for giving me these OCs in the first place. Hopefully I can prevent from drowning in them...

See y'all... soon.

Oh, and don't forget to give feedback. It helps. A lot.
