Chapter 2
It was a sunny morning in the city of Tokyo, the striving city of Japan, but more or less every city had there down sections, the homeless, the poor and gangs all causing trouble in the city but not more so in the suburbs of Tokyo. A car pulled up to the side of a barren street, the sun shining down onto the roof of the car, a man stepped out. The man had short gray hair, even though in his twenty's it gave him an older appearence. He had a ciggarette in his mouth and a couple of bandages on his chain from shaving mishaps. A bird flew up over him, dropping a present on his car's roof. The man looked up into the sky shielding his eyes.
"Eh..Shit. Should of wore sun-glasses."
The man pulled out a lighter, lighting his cigarrette and looked up to the large appartment building in front of himself. Pulling out a paper with an adress, he put it right in front of his eyes then crumpled it up tossing it onto the street. He began walking towards the door pulling out a key, opening the door. The man began walking dropping the door as someone jumped forword and yelled from behind.
"Wait hold the door open!"
The man turned around looking at the person running up from outside, he grabbed the door as it was about to shut.
"Huh?"
The kid outside came in, trying to catch his breath then spoke.
"Thanks, I forgot my key. I haven't seen you around here before are you a newcomer?"
The door then shut as the kid who caught his breath spoke, he looked as if he was in his early teens, with a smile on his face.
"Uh...no problem."
Responded the man as he began to scratch his head, the cigarette still in his mouth, he began to walk towards the mailboxes but the kid interrupted him.
"The names Hiko, yours?"
The kid held out his hand. As the man began to walk, he noticed the hand and then turned around shaking it.
"My names Chichiro,"
Chichiro then again started beginning to walk to the mailboxes inside the building pulling the cigarette out of his mouth, Hiko began to catch up, one hand in his pocket.
"So you never told me, are you new here, if you are I could help you show you around."
Chichori turned his head, then turned it back towards the mailboxes, as Hiko pulled out a small blade from his pocket. Chichiro then spoke,
"Yeah, i'm fine on my own. Thanks anyway kid."
Hiko then looking nervous pulled the knife up to Chichori's back as he searched through the mailboxes.
"Heh, you just wont give. Guess im going to have to do this the hard way, gimme your money newcomer!"
Chichiro took out a deep sigh as he responded.
"Sorry kid i'm a bit short myself."
Chichiro stepped away pulling out papers from the mailbox, Hiko stood shocked almost as if Chichiro didnt notice the knife.
"What's wrong with you! Looks like you don't know how things go around here, Im not a kid! If you don't give me money new comer im going to...im going to..."
Hiko then began to run after him stabbing the knife forword. Chichiro stepped to the side as the kid fell to the ground after missing, he burst into tears.
"Why...why am I so weak. I can't do anything..."
Chichiro glanced back.
"Sorry kid, life's that way."
Chichiro entered the opening elevator doors in front of him ,the mail in his hand. He put on a smile looking at Hiko and waved as the elevator doors closed.
"Nice meeting you, Hiko."
