Secrets:
Chapter Two:
A few days later:
Shifting her wistful gaze upward, Sparrow stared at the bright, warm sun—something she hadn't been able to do for a while, her step-dad rarely let her outside—rarely let her out of her room for that matter.
"Don't think 'bout him, Sparrow. Don't." She mumbled, placing her hands in her jean pockets and looking at the ground. "You're here to find your real father…."
'Yeah, I know that but…but what if he's like mother's husband? Maybe all fathers are like that….'
"No…step-dad isn't like that with Chris or Mabel…it must be 'cuz they're his real kids—I'm not…."
'Rat…rat….' She shivered as that word flew through her thoughts—her step-dad's name for her, the name he called her every day, every time he spoke to or about her. 'Rat….'
"Stop it, he's the rat, not you. Forget him, you need to find your real father…."
"Excuse me, are you all right?" A stranger's voice startled her, and she glared right at the man who interrupted her, right into his violet eyes. "You look lost…."
Her blue eyes gleamed as she stared at him, barely taking in his appearance as she thought.
'He's speaking Japanese…I can't understand him…I only know a few words….'
"I…are you okay? I…."
"I don't know Japanese." She replied, saying the only thing she knew how the say in the language, and backed away a few steps. Then the man whispered something she could only imagine as being a curse, and saw him look around wildly until he saw someone.
"K! Can you come over here to help? I think this little girl's lost and she doesn't speak Japanese!" The violet eyed man called to a tall man with long blond hair in a ponytail, and for the first time Sparrow really took in the man's appearance.
'He has pink hair…pink….' She grimaced, and then turned her attention to the blond man who sauntered over. 'The blond man's not Japanese…maybe he knows English.'
"Hello little girl." K stepped up to her and spoke in English. "Are you lost? Where are you from?"
"…'little girl'? I'm fifteen fuckin years old!" She glared at the blond who was taken aback by her response. "And I'm not lost…." 'Not exactly, anyway….'
"Fifteen? Ha ha, I'm sorry for mistaking you for a child—you're just a bit shorter than Shuuichi and…." K trailed off looking over the girl's appearance.
'And I'm not developed yet, either…that's what you were about to say….'
She waited for the blond man to say more, but he only stepped back and stared at her, his eyes gleaming in thought, eye brows furrowed.
"What? What is it? Why are you looking at me like that!"
"I…I'm sorry, you just look like someone I know…but he's much older…." K mumbled changing his tone for his next sentence. "So, you're not lost? You don't know Japanese and you're in Japan…it'd be amazing for you not to be lost."
"I…I know where I'm going, my mom wrote it down…ur…." Sparrow took out a piece of paper and looked at it, grimacing. "Damn…she wrote it in Japanese…."
"Ha, ha…I guess you do need help, huh?" K took the paper from Sparrow's hand the next second and read it, quickly at first—then he took a double take and gaped at it. "Holy…." He stared at the letter then at Sparrow, and then back to the letter. "…shit…."
"…What is it, K?" Shuuichi asked at seeing his manager's surprised expression. "What does that paper say?" The pink-haired singer reached for the paper, which K quickly pulled away. "K? What?"
The blond ignored him and took out his cell-phone, quickly dialing a number.
"Seguchi-san?" He spoke the moment he heard someone answer. "We have a situation here…."
A/N: End chapter, I don't know what else to write but it's been too long since I posted the first chapter so I want to update it…I have too much free time on my hands right now….
