chapter 2- New Girl in Tokyo

Walking home Omi heard a loud CRASH! 'What's that?' he thought. Continueing to walk in the direction of the flower shop he heard the noise again. This time he was right in front of it. Before him stood the old apartments. The building was grey from the neglect to paint it over the years and was chipping. There were lights on upstairs, he figured a couple was fighting. 'Better not stay,' he thought. 'I don't wanna eavesdrop.

He started walking away and was almost knocked over. Someone had run into him. He looked to his side where the one who had kocked into him and fallen. It was a girl. An American girl. She had blonde hair and an athletic build. She jumped up and looked at him with angry blue-grey eyes.

"You stupid bitch! Get back here!" a man yelled from the 2nd story window.

"No! Go to hell ,bastard!" the girl called back.

Omi looked at her. She was about his age, he guessed. Then he noticed something on her cheeck.

"You're bleeding." Omi said in a soft voice.

His voice sent shivers down her back. It was so soft, calm, caring, something she was not used to. "Minor wound." she said in a monotone.

"Do you need somewhere to go for a little bit?" Omi asked politely.

"Uhh....yeah. Probably a good idea." she said.

"You can come to my house for awhile. I don't think the guys will mind." Omi said.

"Okay." the girl said.

She followed Omi to the flower shop, which was only about a 15 minute walk from her home.

"So ,what's your name?" the girl asked before going into the flower shop.

"Tsukiyono Omi." he replied. "And you are?"

"Dom." she said planely.

"No last name?" Omi asked.

"Nope." Dom shook her head.

"Wow."Omi said. "I thought everyone had a last name."

"Well, I don't." Dom said.

"C'mon," Omi said. He lead the way through the front of the flower shop and into the back. He took her into the living room. Aya and Ken were watching tv.

Ken noticed Omi and then the girl, "Hey." he said to Omi then directed his gaze to the girl behind him. "Who's she?"

Aya turned his head at the word 'she.' "Omi,you know you're not supposed to bring girls home. Even Yoji knows that, surprisingly."

"I know. Its not like that ,though." Omi explained. "She needed some where to hang out for a bit while whoever that dude was chills."

"You gotta a boyfriend?" Ken asked Dom.

"No. He's a person I work with. The whole group lives together." Dom explained.

"So you're new in Tokyo?" Aya asked.

"Yeah." Dom said. "Just got here last week."

"Oh,"Ken said. "Well...for pre-warning don't come around here to gawk at Omi while we're working. Don't be one of those school girls. There's to many of them already."

Aya and Omi twitched at the thought of another school girl.

"I won't." Dom said. "I don't gawk anyway."

"We'll be upstairs," Omi said.

Dom followed him out of the livingroom and up to his room.

The room was painted a kind of greyish color. He had a queen size bed with blue sheets. A tv and PS2 on the entertaiment center at the far side of the room. And a computer on a small table in front of his bed.

"You like to hack?" Dom asked.

"Yeah, I'm pretty good at it."Omi said.

"Me too."Dom said.

"You wanna play a game?"Omi asked.

"Sure."Dom said.

They took seats opposite eachother on the bed. Omi started up the computer and typed in his user password....which none of the others could figure out because the password was 'password'. He set up the game and they played for hours.

It was almost 2 in the morning when Ken came in and said," Whoa she still here? This is what you've been doing. Damn.... well ya know its almost 2, maybe you should be heading home."

"Yeah, he's right."Dom said."Well,I'll see ya later Omi."

Dom walked herself out the door and out of the flower shop.She headed home.
