Part 1 Chapter 3 - Shizuru and Haruka
A small brunette girl sat down in the middle of the large field, all alone. She was watching the other children pay and laugh and thought about what it would be like to have a best friend. "Excuse me!" a loud voice boomed from behind her.
Shizuru turned and saw a very tall blonde girl looking down at her with honey eyes. She was blushing a bit and looked uncomfortable. Poor thing… "Ara, may I help you?" she asked innocently.
"I'm Haruka! Please to meet you!" she yelled, reaching out and roughly shaking Shizuru's hand.
Shizuru rubbed her sore hand and looked up at the girl, "Do you always yell so loudly?"
"I do not!!" the girl screamed louder, her entire face turning a bright red, "I don't scream! I'm just this loud!"
"No, you're screaming." Shizuru said back, quietly and smiling. Haruka crossed her arms over her chest and sat down cross legged, pouting. Shizuru giggled at her and stretched out her hand, "I'm Shizuru Fujino."
"Fujino? That explains the 'ara'." Haruka said, now talking at a lower and more normal volume.
"Something wrong with my Ara, Haruka-san?" Shizuru asked, narrowing her wine colored eyes at the girl.
Haruka's eyes widened as she shook both her arms and her head in a 'no', "No! It's just that you have a Kyoto accent and 'ara' is that kind of accident!!"
"I didn't have an accident..." Shizuru said quietly, making a total 180 in her mood. She looked down between her legs quietly and pouted, looking for a wet stain. Little girl accidents...
Haruka lowered her head, "No, I meant something else! Sorry, I'm still learning my birds."
"Your... words?"
"Yes!"
"So you meant... um... my Kyoto accent?"
"Exactly!"
Both girls smiled at each other happily since they had solved the problem. 'But I don't really know what she's talking about...' Shizuru thought. "Haruka, I think we need someone smarter to help you find your words."
"Your right." the blonde sighed. She looked around and soon pointed to a little girl across the field. "Her! She's a reading a butt!"
"Book?"
"That one."
And so, the two girls got up and walked across the field to the small girl with short brunette hair and odd glasses sitting against the school building reading a book.
