Well...enjoy :P
Chapter Two
Sat atop the wooden pier with his arms and legs threaded through the railings, Chosokabe sat waiting at the beach with the evening sun shining on his face. He looked absently around at his surroundings before checking his phone for the time…5 minutes…it felt like he'd been there for 3 hours…
Letting out a long sigh he scanned the beach in front of him, noticing something that he hadn't before. Squinting into the shadows near where palm trees fledged the beach he could make out a small figure…upon closer inspection the figure became recognisable as a boy sat sketching in an art pad. 'Isn't that…Motonari?' he said to himself, ID-ing the familiar face of his classmate, concentrating on the paper in front of him with a blank expression.
He sat alone, with only his sketchbook for company… 'I've never noticed it before but Motonari doesn't seem to have many friends…in fact he's kind of lonely' his eyes glazed over with sympathy as he watched the boy in his green hoodie… 'Maybe I should go over there and keep him company…I'm sure Sayaka wouldn't mind…' he wondered checking his surroundings, but still there was no sign of her.
He brought himself to his feet and was about to start walking over to him when he stopped himself and sat back down again. '…No, I should wait here for Sayaka before I go over…it's not fair to break my promise to her…'
…5 minutes later…
Chosokabe couldn't count how many times he'd got up and sat down, never really reaching a decision. He wanted to go over and talk to the lonely boy, but everytime he tried something stopped him; 'He'll think I'm a bit strange suddenly starting to talk to him when we've been in the same class for 5 years and the longest sentence I've ever said to him is, Could you pass me the Dictionary?…Besides, the second I start walking over there Sayaka will probably turn up and I'll just have to walk back again…'.
He gazed at Mori sat in the dying sunlight his hair moving softly in the wind, looking up every so often to add another line or shade to his picture as the tide was slowly closing in…it was quite peaceful to watch Motochika decided. Although the sun was setting, it's rays still seemed to be hitting the area surrounding Motonari…
After a few futher minutes later of staring at Mori, Motochika decided; he didn't care about his promise to his friend since she was already quarter of an hour late, that he was bored out of his brain and that he wanted to go sit next to the perfect stranger on the beach. Bringing himself to his feet once more he turned round determined to head for the beach, taking a step towards the beach and smacked his head against something hard, "Fuck", he spat clutching his head and realising he'd just walked into somebody.
Magoichi rubbed her head, "Watch what you're doing Motochika!" she said smiling even as she said it, at the sound of her voice Motochika forgot about the pain in his head and grinned happily.
"Sorry I was in a hurry!" he apologized for the collision, the girl frowned "And where were you hurrying off to? I hope you weren't planning on abandoning me" she said folding her arms.
"No…" he said frowning at the fact he had actually almost abandoned her, "I was going to go and say hi to my friend on the bea…" he trailed off as his eyes searched the empty beach for Motonari's silhouette, Magoichi walked over and leaned on the railings. "I don't see anyone down there…" she stated searching the bland sandy beach.
Chosokabe frowned to himself, how could he disappear so quickly? He was there only a second ago…his eyes traced the palm trees he'd been sat under, but he couldn't see anything as well anymore as the sun had also vanished from the sky…for some strange reason he felt his heart sink at the fact he was no longer able to walk over and talk to this stranger.
"…oh well…" he mumbled to himself, then he remembered something. "Long time no see Sayaka!" he said grinning turning his body to face her once more before pulling Magoichi into a giant bear hug. After recovering from the shock of the attack, she hugged him back softly, "Likewise…" she said smiling, "It would be a lie to say I haven't missed you"
Letting go of his friend the two smiled at each other, "We have a lot to catch up on Sayaka!" he said as they both started to walk down the pier towards the town, Motochika making a mental note to say 'Hi' to Motonari at some point because…he felt like he owed him that much.
In reality he owed him nothing. But Chosokabe had a strong heart, he was a kind of person who could only give, without ever really asking for anything in return.
Meanwhile in another part of town, two other transfer students were trying to settle into their new home. Both were orphans, constantly moving foster homes due to their behaviour…now two new foster parents had adopted them with an iron will, determined that this time that these sisters would not step out of line…
"And this is your room Tsuruhime!" finished the smiling brunette in front of her, "What do you think?". The smaller girl peeked her head into the room and grinned, bouncing inside, "I love it! It's my favourite colour-"
"Pink", the elder finished for her standing in the doorway smiling slightly. Tsuruhime giggled before turning to her new mother, "Thank you so much! I can tell I'm going to like here!" she exclaimed running up and jumping onto her bed.
"I hope you both like it here!" Matsu replied, "I'll leave you to unpack your things girls, I've got to make a start on dinner!" she said turning and exiting the room leaving the other two alone. The elder leaned off the side of the doorway and walked into her sisters room sitting down on the bed.
She looked very similar to her sister, she had the same innocent childlike features, but she attempted to hide them behind a shield of pale make-up and heavy eyeliner in an attempt to make herself look more feral. Her hair used to match her sisters too, but she'd died it bright crimson and had a pixie cut so that future parents would tell them apart.
The two sisters sat in silence for a few seconds, "So…do you like it here?" the eldest asked, turning to look at her sister, whom nodded and replied, "Didn't you here me a few seconds ago Rye? I love it here so far! Our new parents are really nice, our rooms are huge and PINK, plus we're going to the same school! It's great!" she said laughing.
Rye wrinkled up her nose at the last fact, sure she loved her sister to bits, but…being seen in public with her was a little embarrassing…"Yeah, that's great news…I suppose Matsu and Toshiie seem nice enough…" she replied pulling a lazy smile.
Tsuruhime glared at her sister, "Oh no, sister! You are not going to get us kicked out from another home again!" she stood up and hit Rye over the head with a pillow, "These are nice parents! And I refuse to leave another home and neighbourhood just because you've set fire to the house or tried to kill the pet!" she said repeatedly hitting her sister.
Rye laughed, raising her arms over her face to defend herself, "All right, all right…we'll see how things go…" with that she stood up and walked out, yelling something about unpacking.
Tsuruhime rolled her eyes at her sister and laid back on the bed reflecting on todays events. 12 times they'd had to move between homes because of her sister…these days went by so quickly and she was now exhausted, all she wanted to do was curl up and go to sleep.
"Hey, I'm home!" Toshiie yelled from the front door kicking off his shoes and throwing his coat onto the hook.
"Welcome home, dinner's almost ready!" replied his wife, he grinned and followed the sound of her voice into the kitchen inhaling through his nose.
"Mmm…smells good…really good…" he said licking his lips and reaching for the stir fry, only to have his hand smacked away. "Keep your hands away! You'll have to wait just like the rest of us!" she said smiling giving him a peck on the cheek.
"Fine, fine…" he said smiling at her, "They moved in today didn't they?" he asked biting his lip nervously. "Yeah…" she replied portioning the noodles onto the 4 plates, "They both seem really nice if you ask me…I don't see why so many foster parents have had them evicted…"
Toshiie choked on the mushroom he'd pinched from the pan, thumping himself in the chest a few times, "E-EVICTED?" he asked panicked, Matsu frowned "I told you not to pick at food before dinner…"
Yeah...can't say this chapter was AMAZING to be honest but it needed to be done v_v
Ieyasu & Mitsunari will be making an appearence next time I swear it!
So yeah...next one will be up soon as French coursework is out of the way -.-"
