I do not own FLCL, but I don't think anyone will make that mistake. If
I did I wouldn't be writing this. I'd probably be at my giant mansion
playing video games...or sleeping... or eating, which I do all of
those anyways.

Anyways; this story takes place at about the same time as FLCL, but
with a different person whose head "works". Haruko's little sis caused
this one and she's following Haruko to get her guitar back. This
one takes place in America, in a China Town, though, and while this
story focuses on one person there are others (including Naota) across
the world, that have also been bonked. So, on with the story:

********************************************************

CHP.3 RETURN

Half-way across the world, or very close, from where Yoi lived a
strange thing was happening... Naota was becoming happy. After months of
being downcast and depressed he was becoming almost joyous.

Even weirder was the fact that everyday he carried around strings.
Lots of different, multicolored strings. No one understood him
anymore. A lot of people said Haruko had returned, but there was no
proof. Commander Amarao, Kitsurubami, and the rest of the Interstellar
Immigration Bureau had moved else where, so that didn't make a whole
lot of sense. It drove people nuts thinking about it.

So Naota was happy again, the I.I.B. had moved, Haruko might be back
and Noata was carrying around multicolored strings. What an FLCL
world.

********************************************************

On the other half of the world Daquari had come to rent a room at
Yoi's house. Walking up to the front door she thought about all the
places she had been in the past few years. It was kind of fun chasing
Haruko around, but she still wanted her guitar back.

"It's been fun, but I wish that that..." she started.

The door opened to reveal a slightly chubby man in his 40's. His hair
was graying at the roots and the suit he wore was worn and grey. He
also looked like he'd just been through an ordeal.

"Hello. How may I help you?" he said.

"Hi. I'm an exchange student and I'm looking for a place to stay for a
few weeks. My real family that I'm supposed to be staying with kicked
me out and I need a place to stay while I finish out the semester."
She said it with such innocence she even sickened her self a little
bit, but she did need a place to stay and she wasn't from America...The
world much less.

"That's terrible I guess you could stay here for a few weeks. However
I'm going to need to see some identification." He said suddenly stern.

"I...uhhh..." she started.

"I was only joking. Don't worry we have an extra room. You'll have to
earn your keep, however, but you can stay here. Also no drugs or Furi-
Kuri.

Whoa that was close she thought.

As she walked through the door Yoi saw her and ran off screaming. She
noticed a large bump on his head.

Well what a wonderful start!

********************************************************

As Noata walked away he looked at the little city he called home. Once
it was the city of fog. Nothing ever happens there...Anymore. As he
kept on walking he looked back to make sure she was following.

So the beginning is reaching its end and the end of the end is coming,
but not for a while because the middle of the middle must come first
or rather second or third because of all the other beginning, middle
and ends. Review! -Hiten Master
