Purple Skies

Chapter One: First Meeting
It all started with the apple. I was standing there on the side of the street, leaning against the wall, feeling as miserable as miserable gets. Then just as I was going to close my eyes and say my prayers a kind hand touched my face. As I opened my eyes purple headlights shone full blast into me. He offered me an apple. Starving, I took it.
I remember it clearer than the sky before me. The apple was crisp and sweet. As I gobbled it down greedily he simply watched me. Those shining eyes still as a winter night. There was a silence in those eyes. When I finnished the apple he tipped his hat and left. He hadn't said a word. I tried to follow him. I remember trying to run down the street. But I couldn't. My legs had been paralized. Suddenly frightened I moved away. As I walked silently back to my hidden shelter beneath the stairs leading to the church I kept seeing those eyes. Machiko muttered the events of earlier that day into the ear of her daughter, Aiko.

Yuki Souma lay on his bed at home. He was trying to do his homework but he couldn't concentrate. He had never seen that girl before but he felt as though he knew her. She was beautiful, long brown hair, slender figure, chestnut brown eyes, long dark lashes, angel pink lips. She was clearly miserable though, her face was pale and she had clothes that appeared to be several years old. And the way she ate that apple, it looked as though she hadn't eaten for ages. Tohru walked into the room. Yuki looked at her but the light he used to see in her eyes seemed to have faded. Her brown hair reminded him of the girl he had seen on the street but the girl from the street had much prettier hair with reddish and blondish hilights to it.
"Yuki? Yuki-san are you okay," said Tohru with a worried expression on her face. In that moment Yuki did something he never did before. He rolled over and turned his back to Tohru.
"Leave!" he comanded.
"G-g-g-omen ne," Tohru stuttered, shocked. She then ran from the room.
