CHAPTER 4:Honda Kiku
I was sitting up against a wall along the docks.
The all-familiar hunger gnawed at my stomach and I was shivering from the cold wind that whipped my chestnut hair about my face.
A man was walking down the row of depressed and discouraged people who had long ago given up on ever being bought.
I studied him as he walked to and fro.
He was tall with dark black hair and almond shaped eyes that where the deep shade of mahogany.
He stared at me as he passed his round eyes lingering on me for a second longer then everyone else.
Then he turned and walked up to the German (Ludwig) and said something.
They talked in hushed tones and Ludwig sent many meaningful glances in my direction.
Suddenly a hard wind hit me knocking me over and tearing through me body as if I was paper.
I doubled over as a coughing fit hit me and got dizzy from lack of breathing.
When I looked up again I saw the man staring at me with a worried expression on his face, but I couldn't tell.
For days after every time I closed my eyes I got a image of his face as that worried expression passed over his face telling me that someone cared for me still. That man came by again many months later.
It was winter now and my feet were almost blue from the cold and many had already died from frostbite, there bodies black and ugly.
He walked up to me and crouched down to my high. I backed away weary of his hand that was out at reached to me.
"Watashi ga anata no tomodachi kuru".
I shook my head signaling I didn't understand.
"Come I am your friend" he repeated.
I stared at him for a moment then took his hand.
"I am your owner now" he said smiling gently as if he where talking to a wild animal.
Then in one fluent motion he picked me up and set me on my feet, breaking the chains off my hands and wrists that where covered in scars and scabs. "Come with me" he said and walked away I followed slowly trying to keep up with his strong fast pase.
When I Caught up he was handing some money to Ludwig. Ludwig looked at me and said, "he is your owner, be obedient and do as he says.
I nodded weakly and started to walk towards where the man was. "I am Honda Kiku or as you foreigners would say Kiku Honda" I nodded then bent over into a coughing fit and nearly fell over.
Kiku grabbed my waist and caught me before I fell then took his coat off and wrapped it around my shoulders. "I would think Ludwig would take better care of his slaves," he said smiling at me.
I smiled back and said in a small voice that was weak with lack of water and from being Un used. "Many people where worse off then me, I'm healthy compared to them".
He nodded and kept walking with his hand resting on my arm leading me to where we where going and to a new life.
