Tokyo, Japan
'A' was sitting in the kitchen of the four-story mansion with a glass of milk, toast, and a document on the table. As 'A' looked through the documents and then out the window, 'A' took a sip of milk and thought my guardians should be arriving today around noon… Taking out a book, 'A' waited.
Around noon…
Esa and Jasmine were sitting in a café waiting for the "right person" (as the letter stated) to come and find them. Before Esa and Jasmine left New York, their parents had given them the letter along with some hugs, kisses, money… Well anyways, the letter told them to stay and wait at this specific café until a person came to pick them up. Damn you letter for making me have to wait for the "right person". It's already been fifteen minutes. FIFTEEN! Esa thought sourly. Next to her, Jasmine was resting her head on her arms. She looked like she was about to pass out in exhaustion and at the same time, had an impatient look on her face. If it weren't for the people around in the café, Esa was sure that Jasmine would bang her head against the table. Repeatedly.
"Is that "specific person" here yet?" Jasmine muttered in a tired voice.
"I don't think so," Esa replied, also tiredly.
Just then, a girl sitting behind Esa and Jasmine dropped her iPod as well as some napkins. The iPod clattered onto the floor and the napkins fluttered away in many directions. This drew Esa's attention towards the girl. Politely, Esa picked the napkins up and handed it to the girl behind her. The girl said a quick "Thanks" and turned away. Esa turned away as well and rested her head on the table. When's this guy gonna come? Esa thought, and then turned to Jasmine and asked, "You want me to get you something that'll help you wake up?"
Jasmine merely nodded in response.
Esa got up and walked over to the café line. When it was her turn to order, Esa bought two hot cocoas and two energy drinks. Turning away with the drinks in her hand, Esa started to walk back to her table when all of a sudden; a guy with maroon hair and green highlighted tips came running and almost smacked into Esa. Though Esa was very tired, she still managed to dodge the running guy with a quick side-step. Glaring, Esa muttered "Watch it," and turned away.
The guy, looking slightly flustered, blurted out, "Sorry!" and started to walk away. As he walked away, he seemed to have remembered something, and approached Esa again. "Hey, by any chance, are you familiar with this city?"
"No. I'm from America," Esa answered bluntly.
"Oh, ok." The guy frowned for a moment, but smiled once more as he turned toward Esa. "Thanks anyways cutie~" The maroon haired boy then put an arm on Esa's shoulder and said, "Well I have time to kill before I get picked up. Let's talk or something. Here I'll start: What's your name?"
Esa bristled at the invasion of personal space and angrily shrugged the stranger boy's arm off her shoulder. "Get off of me and go away," Esa said between her teeth, almost crushing the hot cocoa cups. Esa was tired from the plane ride, and too exhausted to stay patient and polite to the boy, so she quickly turned away and walked off. Who does he think he is? Doesn't he know something called manners and personal space! As Esa stomped off, the maroon haired boy stood sheepishly with a lopsided grin on his face. Shrugging and giving Esa a backwards glance, he walked to a table and sat. Continuing to walk back to her table, Esa huffed and sat down. She handed Jasmine a hot cocoa and took one herself. Sipping their hot cocoas, Esa and Jasmine waited.
After five minutes of waiting, a green haired guy entered the café. First he walked over to the maroon haired guy with the green tips and whispered something. That boy nodded and followed behind the green haired guy. Next, the green haired guy walked over to Esa, Jasmine and the girl behind Esa.
"Hello girls, I'm the specific person that your letter has stated. Esa, Jasmine, Crystal, come with me."
Esa, Jasmine and Crystal stood up and joined the green haired man and the maroon haired boy. Crystal looked around at the people in the group then focused her eyes on the green haired guy. "What's your name?" she asked.
Still walking, the green haired guy slightly turned his head and smiled, saying, "I'm not suppose to tell you anything yet, but you can call me Ace."
Crystal just raised an eyebrow and kept walking. Soon, the group got out of the airport and onto the streets. In front of them, a large black van waited. The green haired guy, Ace, opened the doors of the van for them, and then went to the driver's seat. Esa, Jasmine, and the rest of the people went inside. On the furthest back seat was a brown-haired girl who was already asleep with her head against the window. Esa and Jasmine took the seats next to the sleeping girl. In the seats in front of Esa, Jasmine, and the sleeping girl, there sat a dark haired boy who wore a purple scarf and purple goggles. He sat to the very left by the window. Crystal sat next to the boy with the scarf and the maroon haired boy sat next to her. In the front sat Ace in the driver's seat, and a little pink haired boy in the passenger seat.
"Hey Jasmine," Esa whispered, "Isn't there a possibility that this could be a kidnapping? I mean, look at the vehicle. It's a big, black van with tinted window!"
"Well, if this is a kidnapping, I might as well have a nap before I start screaming and calling for the police," Jasmine replied. She then yawned and went to sleep.
"Meh," Esa muttered. Might as well… And she fell asleep.
The only people awake now were the driver, the pink haired boy, the dark haired boy with the scarf and goggles, and Crystal. Crystal glanced around at the people around her. "….." An awkward silence hung in the air of the van. Thankfully, Ace started the ignition, which broke the silence, and put the van on drive and drove. The car ride went pretty smoothly….that is, until they hit the highway. Crystal was staring without really seeing at the ceiling when suddenly, she started bouncing. Snapping out of her stupor, Crystal saw, or more like felt, the car going at an abnormal speed. "What the—"Crystal started saying until the van took a swerve and threw her into the dark haired boy's lap. Turning slightly red, but hiding it, Crystal quickly got off of the dark haired boy's lap and glared at the driver. "What the heck!" she said. "Why are you frickin speeding? Can't you see the sign says 60mph, not 90mph!?"
Ace slightly turned his head towards Crystal and replied, "We'll get to our destination faster if we drive like this. 60mph and 90mph are pretty much the same thing to me anyways." Then he turned his full attention back to driving.
Crystal grinded her teeth and said, "Well, if you took driving school and got your license, then you should know to follow the speeding laws!"
Ace shrugged. The pink haired boy next to Ace in the front seat turned and asked in a flat voice, "Do you even have a license Ace?"
"I'm sixteen," Ace answered.
"So you have a license right?" Crystal said, still not comfortable with the high speed driving.
"No."
"WHAT?!" Crystal's eyes widened. "The next thing you know, this van may be stolen!"
"Borrowed is the correct term," Ace corrected.
I'm in a stolen van stuck with a psycho driver Crystal thought, and then looked to see how the people in the back seat were doing. When Crystal turned around, she had a look of disbelief on her face at the peaceful faces of those sleeping in the back row. There all asleep…HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?! Crystal turned towards the dark haired boy to see his reaction to this ride. Indifference. Crystal frowned. How can that guy be so calm? Crystal then glanced at the maroon haired boy sitting next to her. He was clinging onto his seatbelt for dear life. Normal. Finally, Crystal looked at the little boy in the front seat. The little pink haired boy displayed no emotion. What a weird kid…Crystal thought. She then, somehow, continued to endure the car ride until they arrived at the base of an isolated mountain. When the van finally stopped, Crystal sighed in relief.
"Time to get out guys!" Ace cheerfully called out.
Crystal, who was still on edge, somehow registered those words and unbuckled her seat belt. Next to her, the dark haired stretched out his limbs as if sitting through a high speed car ride was boring, and the little boy sitting in the front seat still displayed no emotion. Turning to the maroon haired boy, Crystal saw that he was still in shock. He looked like a cat that got dropped into ice-cold water and then thrown out of a six-story building window. In the back, the three girls slowly woke up.
"Ah…that refreshed me slightly," Jasmine said while yawning.
"Yeah," Esa agreed.
"Already here?" the brown haired girl mumbled. Rubbing her eyes she asked, "Did I miss anything important?"
"Nah," Ace said nonchalantly.
You missed a whole lot… Crystal thought.
Everyone in the van stood up, and started to exit through the doors on the side. When everyone was out, Ace turned to them and said, "We'll be going to our base/HQ/residence/whatever you want to call it now guys!" Then he turned away and started up the mountain. The rest of the group followed.
"Here," Esa said to Jasmine while handing her an energy drink, "this'll help you wake up fully."
Jasmine nodded thankfully and drank the energy drink. Esa took out her own energy drink and drank it too. The group strode up the mountain and through its forest terrain. Ten minutes later, the group arrived at the base. Everyone, excluding Ace, the dark haired boy, and the pink haired boy, had their jaws hanging open. Standing in front of them was a majestic four-story mansion that was almost the size of a castle.
"Damn. That's one big mansion," Jasmine said. Esa nodded in agreement.
"No use staring at it guys," Ace said, waving his hands, "Let's go in." Pushing open the double doors, Ace and the rest of the group entered.
