The fatefull meating of the two

"WHO'S THERE?!"

From behind the remains of a building a thin black haired girl came out. It was around the age of 10 with short black hair, a little pale skin and green eyes. It was wearing rags, a thorn in half shirt with only one sleeve, pants thorn away legs and only one tattered shoe, the other foot was bare. The way the girl looked his way was strange.

There's no way she's an ordinary girl. She must be one of the Cursed children. Even orphans won't come here because of them...wait. Why is she looking at me like this?! It's like she's seeing through me and she's... DROOLING?!

"Wh...what? Are you probably hungry?"

The girl shakes her head energetically for YES.

"Oh, I see. Come here and have some of my lunch. "

The girl slowly went next to him and sat on the rubble. He handed her his lunch and decided to start a conversation.

"Soo...what are you doing here all...WOW! That was suuuper fast!" -Jun said as he noticed that the girl had licked clean his lunch box.

She handed him the lunch box and got up, he also got up and packed his things.

I guess that guy earlyer was right. After all I can't possibly find an Initiator on my own. - Jun thought while walking away.

Then he noticed that the girl is walking after him. He tried to check something and headed to the city. Even after he got to it the girl was still following him. He stopped and the girl stopped.

"Are you really sure you want to come with me? I'm a Promoter. If you come you'll have to become my initiator and risk your life. Are you OK with that?"

She looked at him with a bit of confused look on her face, like she didn't understood some of the words but then shook her head for YES. At the answer Jun quickly smiled widely.

"YES, I did it. Well... you actualy followed me but at least I won't have some random partner assigned to me by HQ. Let's go and reginter you at the base."

While they were passing throug the streets Jun noticed that everybody was looking at their direction.

Ugh... maybe I shouldn't have passed through here. Everyone's watching us.

"Hey, you!" - a man shouted from brhind him ang then grabbed Jun on the shoulder.

"What are you doing humiliating your Initiator like that?! She is still a little girl and...Oh, sorry. You are a trainee, right?"

"Yes, I am." -Jun answered him.

"Right, today is the pairing up day. I thought you were one of those Promoters that mistreat their partners. After all there are some pretty bad people." - said the man.

"There's no need to apologise. It's my fault I'm leading her to the base with these clothes."

"It's not your fault kid. You didn't expect her clothes to be so tattered, Here, take these money and go buy her some clothes and shoes." -told him the man.

"Shu-san we have to go~" -said the man's Initiator.

"I have ta go. Good luck kid! C'mon Chico!"

"Wait! I'm Jun Kurayami and you are?!"

" Shuujin, Mishima Shuujin. Next time we see each other, I hope we have more time kid." -said Shu while running.

Jun looked at the money Mishima gave him.

Next time we meet I'll give him the money back.

"Let's go and buy you some clothes."

They headed to the closest shop with second-hand clothes.

===30 minutes later===

"Phew. We finally managed to get you some clothes. Who would have thought ther are having a sale right now. It was so crouded that I thought I'd suffocate in there. Let's go to the base."

The girl, now wearing new shews and clothes, foliowed him to the base.

"Hello, Jun you're so late. I thought you haven't found an Initiator yet." - said Mrs. Dawn, the clerk in the base.

"Hello miss. It's true I'm a little late but I've found an Initiator, so I came to register her.

"That's great! Now, tell me her name and age please."

"Ah! I think she's around 10. She hasn't spoken at all since we met."

"So you don't even know her name? Well...we can ask her to write it but..."

"Ann."- the girl mumbeled.

"What did you just said?"- they both asked.

"Ann"-she repeated.

"Is that your name?" - miss Dawn asked her.

She shook head for YES.

"So that's your name. I'll get all the documents ready and will pass them to the commander. You should go home. After all, it's been a long day."

"It's a bit too late for this but... I'm Kurayami Jun. Nice to meet you Ann."- said he while extending his hand for a shake.

Ann slowli grabbed his and and he shook it.

"Come with me. I'll get you to your new home. You must be tiered and hungry."

Her stomach grouled a little and she followed him with a slight smile on her face. After they got to Jun's house, he introduced Ann to his grandparents they ate and they quickly fell asleep after that.

I wonder what'll happen tomorrow...- thought Jun before falling asleep.

After all tomorrow won't be an ordinary day after all.
