Chapter Two: Lonely heart
Shizuka also known as Tyson to the world sighed as he looked out a window of the huge mansion, it was a beautiful night... but he wasn't actually enjoying it at the moment.
Since his birth he had known he was one of the very few child to survive, many could not survive the atmosphere... some had left earth for that reason. But they had died: the Heiwa were a dying race still.
At the moment he was the only child of the race so he was very protected, he had watched newly born die moments after death... as he grew up he had no other Heiwa his age to play with.
When his parents had died he had gone to live with his grandfather who lived among the humans, because of this he had grown up with humans.
Yet... in truth he was not quite as mature in body as them, the Heiwa matured slower due to the fact that there life spans were much much longer... that is if they didn't die during birth.
At the moment if you put his real form against that of a human, he would look to be around nine years old.
And that explained why he was so immature, he wasn't as old or as mature as his human form said he was.
He could never let his friends find out this fact, how would they react that 'Tyson' was just a little kid and an 'alien' one at that. It was so confusing: and worse of all... would he find love in the future.
The Heiwa mated for life, often choosing their mates at the age he was now but didn't actually mate till they reached pre-adult stage. As it was he Shizuka still had quite a long time till he reached that stage.
Too long for his liking.
Not too long into the future his human form/disguise would stop aging, it wouldn't age again till his actually true body caught up with it.
"Shizuka, would you like to talk about it?" a kind female voice asked, with a sigh Shizuka turned. Standing there was an adult Heiwa in human form; silky blonde hair slipped down a slim form dressed in business clothing.
"Not really Junban, I just need to sort it all about," he told her, she nodded and walked away to get ready to head back to her business in Tokyo.
Junban owned a quite prosperous business and helped support the rest of the Heiwa who were unable to support themselves at that moment. Her personality was actually quite easy to figure out, it was the meaning of her name... how her parents fit her with such a fitting name he did not know.
Junban meant 'Systematic arrangement'.
Shizuka shook himself away from thoughts of Junban, he really had to remember to call her by her human name with was Sakura... cherry blossoms... it didn't really fit her.
"I wonder, is their anyone out there just for me," Shizuka whispered, he truly hoped so for he didn't want to be always alone... and it would be at least fifteen years till even the babies reached the age that they could choose what future mate they would have.
***
It was a few hours later and Shizuka was in the room he would be staying in, his multi-colored iridescent eyes showed many colors... many that one would never see in human eyes looked at his reflection in a mirror.
Like all Heiwa he looked human but was very slim and beautiful and long pale silvery-blue hair that fell to his middle back in a loose ponytail (He kept it short so it wouldn't get in his way too much). His ears were slim and pointed in a way that reminded one of an elf.
Connected from his lower arms were silver-blue energy wings that connected to his back, it wasn't connected to his upper arms. A soft sapphire light surrounded him in his true form, mind you he could repress the light/energy but it would make him use up more energy and anyway only other Heiwa were in the building.
Since he was a child he wore child clothing, thankfully the elders had thought ahead when he was giving back his true form so they had clothing ready for him.
He wore a pale green tank top with plant designs on it; it also was designed with a very low back so that the fabric wouldn't interfere with his wings. He wore a simple pair of light blue jeans; he also wore brand new sneakers on his feet.
It was strange to see this reflection instead of the human one he was use to, but he would get use to it... after all it was his true one.
'Enough about myself, I might as well read some of the books the elder suggested me to read' Shizuka thought, with that in mind he flopped onto the comfy bed and pulled a large book onto his small lap.
Reading the title his eyes widened, he hadn't expected this book... but he had heard about it.
This book told of certain techniques his people could do. One of them was one that filled him with much curiosity... and a little hope too.
A technique, that allowed one to change a human who was at deaths door into a heiwa, it was very rare anyone used it. Last time was a three hundred years ago, someone had fallen in love with a human and married them, but because the two species could not have children with the elders permission they had changed the human after the human partner was almost killed by a rogue samurai.
A reason it was rare, was because the technique had a good chance to kill the Heiwa dong it... early on when the Heiwa took mates when they came to the planet over twenty had died trying to make there mates like themselves.
'Something to think about' Shizuka thought, he only hoped that in the future he wouldn't have to make such a decision.

Junban: systematic arrangement
FH: Sorry if the chappy was too short or weird, I was trying to avoid the writers block that was forming for this fic and people were starting to get impatient for this chapter.
R. Calumon: By the way, in this chappy we have put hints for future chapters... I won't tell you what the hints are and even if you figure them out... well I don't care as long as you enjoy the story.
