A girl with orange hair and green eyes walked all over the town she had recently found. The sign that she saw said something about "Karakura" or something like that. Her black skirt fell just above her lower thighs and her green shirt fell at her hips and the sleeves stopped at her elbows. A strange white plate, almost elbow pad-looking thing rested on her shoulder. All around her, a weight was on her shoulders, reiatsu, she thought. The people in this town had spiritual pressure, huh? Something tells me this is gonna be fun. She thought. She found what she thought was an apartment building and stepped inside. She looked around. It wasn't that fancy, but it wasn't sucky either, so... it'll do.
She walked up to the desk and rang the bell, "Um, hello?" She said. A girl popped up from behind the desk and it startled Fakedo.
"Hello! Would you like to rent an apartment?" The girl said enthusiastically.
"Um, yes. Just a one bedroom, nothing too expensive." Fakedo said, digging into her bag and fishing out a wallet.
"Well, our cheapest is 100 dollars a month." the girl said. As desperate as Fakedo was, she couldn't afford that. She wasn't even going to stay here for a month!
"Oh, well, can I just take a look around?" Fakedo asked.
"Of course! Would you like a tour?" the girl asked.
"Um, no, thank you, ma'am. I'll go myself." she said, and made her way towards the elevator. Just before the doors closed, a hand stopped them. A dark-skinned man walked in. He looked like he was about... 20, and he had a very... loud shirt on, "Hello." she said shortly.
"Hey." the man replied.
"So, um... do you live here?" Fakedo asked.
"Yes. You?" he asked.
"No, I'm looking for a place to stay. Say, do you have some room in your apartment?" she asked.
"Yeah, would you like to stay in my apartment?" He asked, "Oh, my name is Yasutora Sado. Just call me Chad, for short." he said.
"My name's Fakedo. I, um... just call me that though." She said, chuckling a bit. Chad laughed, too.
"So, how long do you plan on staying... I mean, when will you be able to get your own place?" Chad asked.
"I don't know, a few weeks, probably. Maybe a month." Fakedo said nervously.
"Okay, that's fine. Well, here's my floor." Chad said as the doors opened. He stepped out first and then let her out. He led her to a door and took a key out of his pocket. He unlocked the door and let her in. It wasn't a very big place. A few assorted things here and there, but nothing that really jumped out at her. Until she spotted it.
"You play guitar?" Fakedo asked, dragging her fingertips across the case.
"Yeah." Chad said shortly.
"Can you play me something?" she asked, her face lit up with hope. Even though Chad wasn't going to say no, he found her expression just irresistible. He couldn't refuse, even if he tried.
"Sure." Chad said, and removed the guitar from it's case. He put the guitar in position, and started playing a few notes. She recognized the rhythm, and started humming it. "Kiss from a Rose" by Seal.
"There... used to be a graying tower alone on the sea. You... became the light on the dark side of me. Love... remains a drug that's the high and not the pill." Fakedo sang in a heavenly voice. Well, that's how it sounded to Chad.
Chad stopped laying, and Fakedo stopped singing, "How did you learn to sing like that?" Chad asked.
"Um... I just sing to myself sometimes. It's really not that good." Fakedo said, smiling nervously.
"Yeah-Yes it is." Chad said, "You have an unbelievable singing voice."
"Well, thank you, I guess." Fakedo said, blushing a bit.
"You're welcome. Anyways, do you need a blanket or something?" Chad asked.
"Yes, Chad. I think I need things to sleep with. Like a 'blanket or something'." She mocked in a deep voice. Chad laughed a little and so did Fakedo. They walked over to a small closet and pulled out two blankets and two pillows, "I'll set it up, Chad. You don't have to help me. I'm 16. I'm a tough girl." she said, holding up her small arms, flexing them.
"Oh, sorry. You know... I'm 16, too." Chad said.
"Really? You look like you're twenty or something." Fakedo said, raising one eyebrow and furrowing another.
"Well, I'm just tall and intimidating." Chad joked.
"Yes, you definately are." Fakedo said. She put her hand down on the corner of the blanket and Chad reached down, too. Resulting in his hand landing on top of hers. She blushed and he let out a small gasp. He immediately pulled his hand back and she pulled hers back, too, "Um.." she muttered.
"Yeah, I think it's about time to go to bed." Chad said quickly.
"Yeah! Good Night!" she said, laying down and pulling the blanket over herself.
"Night." he said, and turned off the light, laying down in his bed. Fakedo looked at her left hand, the hand that he touched, and she felt a small tingle come from the thought.
He looked at his right hand, the one that he touched her with, and a strange feeling shot up his arm. He shook the crazy thoughts from his head and focused on getting to sleep.
Little did Chad know, Fakedo was thinking the same thing.
