My First

Flight GB-103 had just boarded on Japan. The airplane was merely capping a part of the sky's scenario for hundreds of seconds.

A gentleman wearing a red jacket sat on one of the passenger seats inside the heaving airplane with headphones covering his entire two ears and with both eyes closed. The hours were officially his manager and the sky was primarily his airways. The oozing sound of the plane made him sucked up and tired as well.

He was not alone at all. He had an escort… another awesome lad covering his blue eyes with his dark blue face-contoured sunshades and a black-and-blue German-cut cap resting on top of his unseen blonde hair.

Almost a few hours passed and Japan was visible to Harry Gamble. "I'm glad we're here," he said as he looked at his pane and tall buildings were clear, and the sky seemed breaking free. He made a quick turn to his right. "Takeshi."

The black-haired man broke away from his headphones and thoroughly opened his eyes. "Whatever." It was a sarcastic response, which made Harry think that he was homesick, but with that one word came a sardonic smile. It was more of excitement than of boredom, he guessed.

The nose landing gear of the plane was slowly playing its role. A few minutes later, Flight NY-166 landed safe and sound in Japan International Airport. Many passengers made their way down from the plane, and a couple of seconds after, GB-103 docked on the same port with an exact five-second delay --- the two planes landed almost at the same time.

"We're now in Japan. We need to get there as soon as possible, Mr. Tobita," a deep voice begun to converse, holding his mobile phone close to him.

It was Takeshi's first visit to Japan and he felt a bit conscious with the people around him, as well as the structure of the buildings. The two of them stayed for quite a long period in the baggage area for their luggage.

"Do you know exactly what the heck this place is, Harry?" Takeshi asked.

"Yeah. You'll love this place, Takeshi. It's more than a home."

"Really?"

"You'll see lots of beautiful women here," the blonde said with a wink. "And lots of delicious food. Yummier than in Berlin, in fact."

Ring…

Harry got his cellular out to answer the call. He withdrew from their late conversation and bought distance for privacy. Takeshi, on the other hand, continued to look around the JIA building. On his front was an automatic sliding door, and on his rear was the way to the docking area of the planes.

"Yes. Lilika and I are safe. She saw it, too… that won't happen, Mr. Tobita. I'm scared that she, too, will…" Takeshi once again heard the same deep voice, slowly decreasing in volume as the speaker --- a brunette --- moved further away from him. He heard a few more lines from the conversation but it was nothing for him like he cared.

Eventually, he saw a young boy, around six years of age, holding a piece of paper. His mother was quite in a hurry so she shoddily grabbed the boy's arms, making the paper fall down. Though not exactly touching the base of the building; it went on soaring on the air at a lower height.

Takeshi's deep brown eyes followed the airwaves forcing the paper to fly. It landed beside a lady's shoe with perfect tan legs on it. He made a sigh and he studied the woman standing beside the piece of paper. She had long chestnut-colored hair and wonderful emerald eyes. She was holding a mobile phone --- and she looked so lovely.

Maybe Harry was right then.

I have never seen anyone as lovely as this girl in my entire life. She's my first.

Authors' Notes:

Mara – Hello! I'm Mara, and I just wrote my first chapter in this story. Kaz gave me the chance to write about my favorite love couple (Takeshi and Lilika). Please pardon the grammar. I used to sleep during English classes before and not to mention my 'inexcusable tardiness' too. And to all Takeshi/Lilika fans out there, this is for you guys. Just pray that God will enlighten my mindless mind so that I can write more interesting situations in the next chapters. That's all… Ü Have fun…

Kazie – I actually got inspired to write this fic after watching Animatrix at my friend's place. I don't know why or how it happened, but it just did. I'm not a big sci-fi fan --- except for Star Wars --- so I'm quite surprised myself that this idea came into mind, and that I actually got around to writing it. As for my eye, I had a sty, and when I went to the doctor for check-up, he found a cyst on my eyelid, and it had to be operated. My operation was last week, so I had to wear an eye patch for a day and keep myself from straining my eyes (in other words, not stay in front of the computer for long) in the next. But I'm alright now; I'm just caught up with schoolwork. *sulks*
