( The one thing I want to say for one person who actually reviewed this is thank you, I was honored by your honest Opinion and I will bring my best Effort into this whole story)(And before you question about stuff, the locations are in Japan, nowhere else…well Up to this point anyways)
"Sky…Stop" said Yoko
"Quit struggling, it's not that big"
"But it hurts"
"I am trying to be as gentle as I can"
"I want it out!" Yoko was screaming in pain for the fact that she had a wad of gum stuck to her hair "Its your fault, You had to blow bubble gum right Next to me?"
"I said I was Sorry" Said Sky trying his best to pull the Darn thing out for god sakes. five years since the passing of Sky's parents, but also, its been four years in a half since Sky and Yoko became the best of friends. at this particular moment Sky is just helping Yoko remove a huge wad of gum that is as big as a quarter, he manage to get it unstuck, with only a single strand of hair, but it's not like She is going to notice "there, All gone"
"that really hurts," Said Yoko pouting a bit, she went to her bag to fing a small comb to fix her hair up "I was really trying to look my best for our first day of school"
Dispite the fact the Both Sky and Yoko being Orphans, the foster home provide their children to have a priority in Education, So depending on the age and grade level they go to Diferent public schools* Sky wearing his Summer uniform, and Yoko wearing her own summer uniform as well. Both of them made it to the train that takes them to their middle schools. "I don't see what the big deal is" Said Sky "School is just school, not some sort of formal event"
"It's important to make a good impression, Otherwise they'll see you as that particular person" Said Yoko not giving a well description
"Well, that is pretty vauge" Sky scratched the back of his head. "But don't you get…oh I don't know…shy"
"Er…" Yoko froze up for a moment "w…what do you mean...I d..dont"
"See? Shyness right there" Said Sky ponting out Yoko's akward conversation " you are not very good when talking to people you haven't met, hell, you pass out before you even say your name to the-" sky was interrupted when the Familiar jerks decided to bump into him on purpose "Oh God…this Again"
Half an hour later, Sky and Yoko, along with Bully guy and his two posssie are under a subway train, where no one can see them, its practacly abandon "Sky, we are going to be late"
"Its not going to take no more than three minutes" Said Sky "you better go find safe place"
Reluctantly, Yoko did what sky said and moved away, the bullies on the other hand looked at Sky with a sinister grin of their faces, "Well Well, Today is the day we-"
"Get your asses beaten again?" Said Sky "we are literally on the clock, Coudint we just do this la-"
"SHADDUP!" Said the boy behind him with a punk out hair "We are going to beat your scrawny ass this time! We are going to beat youse down and use your face as a mop like the first time we met ya ass"
"Said the Broom" Said Sky pointing out that the second Bully's hair is Indeed the shape of a broom that nearly made him look like some Spartan alien thing from that old cartoon. "anyways, I should be thanking you, if you haven't threaten Yoko years ago, I shouldn't be having such a winning streak"
"Hehe, make all the wise ass comments you want, your ass is grass" The bully in the middle snaped his fingers and the other two behind him rushed towards Sky, Mistake number one.
Sky stood there for that very moment until the Bullies were about to punch him in the face in both sides, What Sky did is simply ducked, making the two bullies hit against each other in the face like in those action movies or Boxing movies. they both fell down with some goofy look of being knocked out "You really need to train in a Dojo Next time, like me" Said Sky taking into stance "O wait, I forgot, You did, then ya drop out"
"Shut it" the Main Bully is really mad now "You are going down" he rushed in as well, but this time he made sure he trip Sky by sweeping his legs, Mistake Number two.
Sky manage to jump, and he did a roundhouse kick at the exact moment the main Bully was standing back up, the Bully fell face first, "Okay, now we can run"
The Bully isn't knocked out, as Sky turned his back for one second, the same bully pulled out a knife, Yoko notices right away and yelled "SKY!, KNIFE!"
Sky wasint expecting that, this guy really wants to kill him, and at such a young age too, They were already too close to move away, the Bully is ready for the stab, but then, the Unexpetded Mistake number three.
Sky mind was in a blank and acted on instic, his left arm suddenly glowed and in a flash, the Bully was knocked out, with his knife falling and landed near the guys face. "Man, you just wont give up"
Yoko's eyes got bigger, she was confused for what she just saw in a Instant, Sky's left arm somehow changed shape and back again, it was too quick to tell, but there was something strange "Sky…how did you?"
"Yoko!, School!" Said Sky grabbing Yoko's hand and ran with her. Sky didn't know what just happened, he wasn't thinking, it…just happened…His speed in his punches may be a bit faster than a gust of wind during fighting, but this was …different.
(Six whole crappy school Hours Later)
Sky and Yoko arrived back at the Foster home, Yoko looked a little unsure since they left, but Sky wasint paying much attention. all he is thinking is what a drag the first day went, he had to figth the same Idiot twice in one day, he won at Usual but it felt too easy, way too easy like he is ether training too much, or the Bullies are losing their touch.
Yoko went out to the back of the orphanage like Usual, but Sky follows, the rest of the kids thinks of strange reasons why Yoko and Sky are going around the back, sometimes they began to say they are lovers that do…way to much things to be mentioned, but the real reason is that Yoko, was actually taking care of a small kitten that grew into a cat with white spots on the point of its ears and its paws.
As Ussual, the cat looked very happy to see Yoko again, its meows sounded more happy and energetic. The Orphanage has a no pet Policy because some of the kids may be allergic to them, so its kept hidden under the home, the cat goes out by itself and explore, but every night it sleeps under the orphanage without letting out a sound, quite a smart feline at best.
"nyuuu, Nyuuu" Said Yoko calling the cat, as she shows a fresh can of Tuna. The cat came out with a rusty can opener on its mouth quite obvious its hungry for food. As she opend the can she said "Ms. Nyu Neko its really hungry its she…there you go" Yoko place the opened can of tuna in front of the cat, and it began to eat like a pig.
"Kinda sucks for not letting pets in" Said Sky petting on the cat "I mean you and her can be like…I don't know…close together, I swear sometimes you can Even talk to it"
Yoko giggled at the Joke and said "I can't help it if I love cats silly… Before you and I are friends Ms. Nyu Neko is always hungry and I always fed her, She was like a sister that I can take care of"
"Ohhh, looks like somebody is going to be a crazy cat Lady" Said Sky, the cat didn't like the Joke, so she bit Sky's finger, "Hmmm!" he said in a silent pain, "Okay..I guess I went too far on the Jokes"
Yoko laughed a bit…but then her face turned to frown. "Sky…there is something I am going to tell you"
"What is it?" Said Sky rubbing its finger, he's been bitten lost of time by the cat, but It shows that Ether the cat used to be a Domestic cat, or that it never had any germs or viruses despite being a stray.
"…A week from now…I am going to be interviewed …for Adoption" Said Yoko playing with her fingers a bit "the adults say the Lady…is kind and had kids of her own once…and if she likes me…I am going to have to leave the Orphanage…for good"
Sky and the cat had its attention To Yoko at that very moment, the cat was very sad hearing this and began to nuged it head on to Yoko's hand, Sky just had its eyes withen "…well…I…" he is shocked, more than shocked, he is going to lose its friend at that moment?
"Oh don't worry" Said Yoko "the Adults also said that we can be pen pals, you know…that thing that we send letters and…If I leave…Can you take care of Miss Nyu Neko while I am gone?" she said sounding concern
"S..sure" Said Sky "just remember that I am still…your best friend…and-" Before she said another word, Sky was being hugged By Yoko, Unexpeted and such.
"I…I'll Mis you…" said Yoko "please don't ever forget…please…" Sky was hearing this all too well…so he hugged back and comforts her.
(A Whole Week Later)
Yoko had her bags tied up; it was a huge suitcase that is only filled with her clothes and a black and white Photo of Sky and Yoko playing on a sandbox. Sky was downstairs at the front door waiting for Yoko to come back down…so he can say Goodbye…All that Sky wich that he stayed with her til they are old enough to leave and live a Adult life, but dreams are just lies, as Yoko walked down the steps for one last time with her bags in checked, Yoko said her last words "I…I wish you good helth..."
"me too" Said sky as he hugged her again…and for a final time too "are you sure…she is nice?"
Yoko nodded weakly and showed a small smile "I…I think she is nice…I just …felt it…She really Is nice…"
Just outside at the front door on the streets , the car of Yoko's new foster Mother is waiting for her, The hug broke and Yoko began walking and walking…and walking before she finally arrive on the car, Sky juts sat on the front porch, the other kids came out of the home and began to wave goodbye for one last time to the girl, as the car finally drove off, Sky felt alone again…almost actually… A few of the Kids began to pat on his back and one of them say "Don't worry…she'll be Okay"
"I hope so…I really hope so" said Sky.
A mouth later everything changed after Yoko Left. Sky made it to near black belt…but it feels like Yoko shoud have been there to see it. There are moments that Sky wanted to show something Amazing to Yoko…but those are also moments that he forgot that Yoko isn't there Anymore. And the cat…She left , it was never seen or heard from again…
As the months pass by more kids kept getting adopted exept for Sky, the question is…why? Is it the way he looks? Is it the way he acts? He tried his best to act as nice as possible but no takers. Then… a moment of truth…Sky had his first interview with a man…he is around his thirthys and seem to be a bachelor. Sky and the Man is set in a room , where the man Began to ask Questions.
"what is your Name?"
Sky gulpted for that moment and say "T..Trevor Miles" he never been so nervous before, did all of the Kids had this experience taking interviews?
"How old are you?" said the man as he began to get coftrable for some reason
"Eigth…and a half" Sky said. These Questions seemed easy, not like it's supposed to be a Test or anything but just plain easy.
"Okay…do you…Exercised Often…I lived a very active lifestyle" said the man. "what I mean is, do you play outdoors? Run around and such"
"Well, I actually train In a Dojo if that counts…Mostly because of self-defense, but I cant take on against an Adult very well"
"hmm," the man seem to say a word in silence, already its creeping Sky out "Well, I have one more question…do you have any sibligs? Brothers ? Sisters?" he said Grining
"Uh…No…I am a Only child actually" Said Sky.
The Man Stood up and began talking with one of the Adults, a few moments he got back to Sky and said "Well, you better get used to It, beause For now on I be your Daddy"
Sky smile lid up "Really?"
The Man Extended his hand for a hand shake and said "put it there pal"
Without Hesitation, Sky began to shook his hand, that is when he began to see things, infect, He began to see Images of the Man. It was distorted but its clear enough to Tell the Difference, the Man seem to be taking pictures in private in his care, pictures of young children, then another Image appear of random costumes that seemed Fit for Little kids, and Finally he seem to rub one of the picture between his Legs.
The Images stoped, and Sky Began to Panic, He move away from the Man, back against the wall and said "Get the Hell Away from me you…you Pervert! You Sick Pedophile!"
The Man Began to Panic "w..what are you-"
"Don't you dare Touch Me you Perverted Ass! Get away!" Sky said leaving the room and going behind the Adults of the Foster home "That Guy is a perv, A creep, A pedophile!"
The Man seemed to Panic a bit More, until he Ran Out as Fast as he could, he got on the car and drove away leaving Skid Marks, One of The Adults began to follow him up to the point of the road where he got away, looking down the man Left a few Evidence. Pictures of young's kids that are playing in the park, and the Pictures seemed to be taken behind the bush or in the car in secret.
Strangely, it turns out that the Man who was interviewing sky really was a Pedophile, he was arrested hours after he ran from the orphanage to His apartment. The story covered the news, the Man is now arrested of nearly kidnapping a child for his perverted ways and Possession of clothes that is only fit for a child, exposed clothing actually.
The Adults were baffled, Sky and the Man Hardly Knew each other, and somehow Sky knew the man was a pervert. It caused the Adults to be more careful who is adopting the children, but it was forgotten right away…
Nothing is change…Sky is near his ninth birthday, now he had it, he docent care about being Adopted anymore, right Now He wanted to Leave, and he wanted to leave now.
He waited til everybody went to sleep, he had his bags prepared and he had made sure the back door its Open, all he ned to do is wait. looking at his clock now it reached mid-night, the plan is set in Motion, Sky slowly snuck out of the room and downstairs, he had his bag ready and he knows where to hide incase they come and look for him, it wasn't easy with a single adult guarding the back door, great, now what?… Sky moved to the Living room area and noticed that the Adults let the Remote on the Couch, perfect
Turning the TV On and set it on a channel that will attract the guard, its on high Volume but at the same time its Mute is On, So Sky Began to find A Spot to hide while looking at the TV, and Rushing to the Bacj door without Being Noticed, Sky press the + Button only to had Loud Music play, the guard went to the Living room and began to shut off, but realizing that the TV is void of any Buttons to Push, Sky left the Remote on the Hiding Spot while the Guard look for the Cord to Unplug it. A Perfect getaway.
He snuck out without being noticed, dig under the Fence as fast as He could, and ran. He kept running without looking back, and thanks to all of the Money he saved up. Sky is better off taking a Bus to the nearby harbor. "Next stop, America"
