Feather 1: Who are you? Me, I Go By a Lot of Names

Walking through Satelite, the most common thing that will ever be seen are broken buildings. People who are reduced to acts of violence and children who are turned into those people. It's sad, but that's what happens when you live in a place like this. If you think the people are bad when they're normal, just think about it when you walk in their turf.

Here, most group together so they can survive. You see those high school movies on T.V.; it's like, just worse. The groups become gangs. Some of them become duel gangs and others are just regular gangs. The duel gangs are scarier than the regular gangs. Trust Me. They duel you; and if you win, you'll get jumped, but if you lose, you'll get jumped. Either way, if you can't defend yourself from some insecure dud and his lackeys, your done for.

Sucks to be you. I, on the other hand, have mastered the 'Art of Running Like a Bat Out of Hell'. It's actually really helpful. This is how it goes: A gang, anyone, comes up. They size me up. Some idiot says something stupid. His crack friends laugh while I, little ole' me, am ninety-five percent gone by then. They stop laughing when they hear me shout an insult, and one of them scream "Stop the Kid!"

Or something like that. Oh well, it's not really my problem. I'm already gone, like The Flash. That'd be awesome. Well out of the clouds, and back on the ground, where sadly my feet are, and hurting. Right now, I'm currently walking through junkyard land. Can I get 'wOOt, wOOt' for garbage that has the power to kill you...if it falls on you at least. Hah!, killer garbage...my imagination goes past the sky and into space sometimes. It's the greatest.

My feet hurt, so I'm sitting my ass down. The sun feels so warm on my skin right now. I wonder how warm it would be if I was just lying in the sky, floating or something. Would it be warmer? Would I need SPF 500 Sunblock? The world may never know.[1] Hmmm...this rock is pretty comfortable. Oh, look at that I yawned.

"Hey! Hey, you wake up!"

I think I heard something.

"Come on! It's pretty dangerous out here. You shouldn't sleep here! If you want, I'll take you somewhere with a bed."

A bed sounds nice. Too bad I don't feel like moving. Aw crap, the voice is shaking me. Fine, I'll get up, just stop with the shaking.

"What, leave me alone. Geez..." I said opening my eyes.

Huh, would you look at that. The annoying voice is a kid. He looks pretty innocent too. That's such a surprise. To think, I would ever see a sweet innocent kid. It makes me hopeful. So, it's true when they say anything can happen in life. There are tons of examples, like said innocent boy in Satelite. This is the biggest surprise ever...I'm done being surprised.

"You shouldn't be out here sleeping! Bad things can happen," he said.

"Pshh...look brat, you wake me up from my nap to tell me that. Plea-"

"I'm not a brat, you-you-you boy!"

Did he just call me boy...my brain is currently processing it. He called me a boy!

"You whining sounding- I AIN'T A BOY!"

I think my eye is twitching...yup my eye is twitching. It's the right one if you care.

"Huh, but your hair, and-and the way your face looks. You gotta be a boy! I've never seen a girl stand like that!"

He stuttered...he really is innocent. Examining this kid, oh wow he looks clean, that's a pretty rare sight. He had golden eyes, another thing that's rare, and blue hair. You guessed it, that's rare too. Geez, what is this boy, some rare bird or something. Aww...he's fidgeting. That's adorable.

"Umm...what are you looking at," he asked looking behind him. I am totally laughing on the inside.

"Anyway, come with me!"

He grabbed my hand leading me somewhere. I don't know where. I'm too tired to figure out where. That or too lazy. I'm too tired and lazy to figure which one it is. Wow, I'm so weird.

"Hey are you listening?"

"Huh? Did you say something?"[2]

"Yeah! I said I'm gonna take you somewhere, so you could get clean," he said it grinning like it was so easy.

A bath does sound nice. I'm currently smudged in dirt. His personality is refreshing though. It gives me a nice feeling.

"By the way, my name is Kiryū Kyōsuke! What's yours?"

"I go by a lot of names."

"What do you go by the most?"

"Kid."

I said it with said it with a straight face too. What...it is what most people call me.

"Kid, that's such a boring name," he said scrunching his nose.

"Deal with it. You wanted a name, you got one."

"Aww...fine. We're almost there, just so you know."

This kid is my age. We're about the same size.

"Hey, how old are you?"

"Oh, I'm nine years old!"

What a cheesy smile...I'm older than him...does this mean I'm an old hag. I don't wanna be an old hag!

"What about you?"

"I'm ten years old."

He looked kind of dejected or something. Then he grinned and pulled me along. His innocence is pretty refreshing. That feeling is still there. Makes me wanna find out what it is. Geez...

Hope is what we simply need to proceed. [3]

Okay. I changed the prologue to three reviews. I don't get you people. You favorite and alert, but you don't review. It won't kill you. Thank You to the three who did review. Sadly, no one got the answer to the challenge. That means no one got the 5 Awesome Stellar Points. That challenge is done. I tried to do my best with this chapter, and I do realize I have punctuation problems. For all I care punctuation can go burn in the depths of hell. Also Thank You to those who favorite and alerted this story even though it is just in the making. Next, please leave a review. It'd be nice to know your opinion, it's not like if you leave a review I'ma come in your dreams and shank you or something. Cause that's how ya seem to be.

[1] - Yea, I went there. And what?

[2] - I didn't realize this till I typed it, but I must've had a Kakashi moment when writing.

[3] - 5 Awesome Stellar Points are awarded to whoever gets where this comes from. Hint: It's from a song. Not one that everyone's heard, but a song none the less.

Four reviews are needed to get Chapter 2 up. This is so I could pace myself.

Let your feathers fall and shower people in hope!
