Sorry this chapter was so short, I just haven't had much inspiration for this story recently. Though, I have started to write the next chapter and I can feel myself slowly getting back into it. Hopefully next week, it will be better.

Also, I've changed the way that I will be updating my stories. You can look on my profile for that info though, cause I do not feel like typing it up again, or, if you're reading my story Second Chances, then the info is there as well.

Well, enough of that and I hope that you all have had a good weekend.

Once I left the airport, I began to regret my decision to get to the Asahinas' house on my own. Masaomi-san had offered to send someone to pick me up, but I hadn't wanted to bother them and had said that I could get there myself.

Big mistake. I'd never been that great with directions, and, while I had been bored in a city, I'd been living in a small town for almost a decade. And that had messed up my ability to understand street signs and and left me unprepared for the general insanity of the city.

My town had always been alive, that was for sure. You could always hear cars passing by on the highway or kids playing outside. But the city was different. Here, there were more cars and people pushed each other aside. Sure that had happened in my town too, but back home there had also been amicable discussions happening.

All of the noise confused me, and since I was already in a strange place with only a crudely drawn map, I got lost.

I wandered around for about an hour, trying to get back on track. But just when I was about to admit defeat and call one of the brothers for help, I heard someone call out to me.

Yeah, I probably should have run away instead of responding, but we were already on a busy street. Even if he was a kidnapper, I could just scream and get attention from all of the people surrounding us.

Besides, the way that I saw it, I was already lost. How much more trouble could the tall redhead I saw coming towards me possibly cause?

I meant to ask him for directions, but I was distracted as I saw the sun reflect off of his hair. It was such a bright red color. Had he dyed it that color?

"Uh, hey. Do you need some kind of help or something?"

I was distracted from my musings about the boy's hair color when I realised that he was talking to me. I briefly considered lying, but it's not like asking for directions could hurt when I was already so lost.

"Yeah, I'm supposed to move to a new house today. The only thing is that my, er, brother only gave me a map with some rough directions on it and I got lost."

Seemingly not noticing my stumbling over the word "brother", he asked me where I was going. Seeing as how I was already pretty much screwed already, and since he seemed to have a kind of straight-laced aura anyway, I told him the name of the street that I was moving onto.

"Oh, I can actually take you there. I live on that street. Hey, don't worry. Our neighbors moved out recently, I can show you the for-sale sign when we get there. Ah, sorry I'm not explaining this very well, am I?"

I couldn't help but let a giggle escape me as I listened to him talk. I might have thought that he could be dangerous at first, but he had such an adorably flustered expression on his face that I couldn't help but begin to trust him, especially as he got so flustered trying to help me.

"I'm Kali. And you are?"

Seeing his surprise at my words, I explained myself to him quickly, "Well, if you're going to walk me home, then I think that I should at least know your name, if only so I can thank you later."

Yeah, I was flirting a little, but his expressions were pretty interesting. Really, when he finally told me that his name was Yuusuke, his face turned so red I almost thought that he was going to pass out.

As we walked together, I could see that my assumption was correct. He was pretty straight-laced, but underneath it all, he was a pretty nice guy. After a few minutes of me talking at him, he was able to talk back to me with much more ease. I was glad that I'd be living near such an interesting guy, I thought he'd be a good friend to have. After all, not many people would go out of their way to help a stranger in a city as big as this.

This move to Japan was already looking better than I had expected it to be.
