(Eleera said that I could make the first post so here goes!)

Jasper awoke with a start. The bright light flowing in from his bedroom window stung his fresh open eyes. Jasper groaned and crawled like a sloth out of bed. Jasper felt his back hit the cold floor below hard.
"Owww..." He whined in pain. The shower called to him, so, trying his very best, he dragged his useless body into the bathroom and entered the shower. As the hot water struck his body, Jasper thought of what was in store for him through the day and sighed.
Another uneventful day...

*************************************************

Jasper and Olivia, his sister, closed the door of their house and left for town. Jasper had moved to Tatsumi port Island just less than a year ago but knew fluent Japanese, like his sister. They also knew Latin, French and Greek but that is not important here.
"So, where to first?" Olivia asked in her gentle voice.
"Paulownia mall; I need to get some medicine, and some music too. Plus I can get a few accessories while we're there. Then Iwatodi station. I need some books and groceries. Then we'll go where you need to. Then the movies."
"Cool!" And so, they went on their way to their destination.

The day before had been about as busy as usual, and there had never been a dull moment for Riku, as he had done his absolute best to keep the rest of the student council on their toes. He had yelled at Mr. Ekoda for mixing up all the paperwork for the school trip later in the year, and Tiku had given him quite the fright.

Then, it was back home for Riku, where his chef had made him a delicious looking Hamburger: The chef actually didn't know how to make one, until Riku ordered him too... why weren't rich and hamburgers never seemingly connected, until now? Nonetheless, Riku dug in, and closed his eyes in delight.

Later that night, just before he showered, he received a phone call on his cell. Surprised, he picked it up, and answered, “This is Riku.”

“H-Hey, this is Arisa Hatoyama.” A girl's voice came out. Riku nodded, Arisa was the council treasurer.
“Yes, Ma Dame?” He said, speaking in fluent French, like he sometimes did. Riku heard another noise from the phone... was that.... a concealed squeal?

“W-well, I was wondering.. since tomorrow is a free day... w-would you go out with me?”

Riku's eyes widened slightly: that was out of the blue, he looked over to the massive calender on his wall: It as clear for that day, and Arisa had certainty gathered a massive amount of courage to come calling her Senpai like that... and Riku would have been bored tomorrow“Un timing parfait, I had nothing to do tomorrow. I don't see why not. Is there any place in particular you'd like to go?”

“Well, I was thinking Iwatodai Station. We could grab a bite then maybe take a short monorail to the.movies...”

“Certainemente. A splendid idea. Shall I meet you at the monorail station at Iwatodai, say around Noon?”

She agreed, then said goodbye. Riku sighed, he already knew that they wouldn't be going out too many times: Arisa eventually wouldn't be able to handle Riku's way of life.... he wanted someone who could sand on equal ground, no handicaps... does such a person exist?

…..

The next morning, Riku got up, where his clothes were set out for him. He had a light breakfeast, then trained with a servant, who was an avid fencer, for an hour. He stopped after that, preparing to meet Arisa at the station. He looked on a table next his room, witch held a small revolver. 'You are a Kirijo, Riku. Always be prepared for anything....'

'Ya, I know sis.' He said, pocketing the revolver in his coat, before meeting Arisa at the staion, “Well, shall we?”

(not permant Bf and GF. Just something to post for a post or two..)

It was dark, almost half 10.
Saeko was walking back to her from being at the Cemetery most of the night.
This was the only time she could go and get peace to talk to her family with nobody else around her.
When she got to the gates of the cemetery, she got a phone call she did not know the number, but her curiosity got the better of her, always a bad trait of hers.
She answered

"Hello, Saeko here"
"Hello young miss i am you Fathers lawyer, i have just got to your file and would like to talk to you about your fathers estate."
"Could it wait until tommorrw?"
"Yes I was calling to see if you were free tommorrw to come in."
"Oh...right... i will be there about noon is that okay?"
"Yes perfect I could take a working lunch. See you tommorrw at noon. Goodbye"

Saeko closed the phone over.
As she walked she heard running foot steps and then someone shouted

"HELP!!!, OH SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME!!!"

Saeko turned round just in time for the person to run in to her, knocking both of them to the ground.
She looked at the person lying on the ground next to her.
The girl looked scared and was wet though from sweat and there was blood on her white shirt.
Saeko looked around to see if there was anybody else in the street but there was nobody around.
The girl did not get up she just lay there shaking.
Saeko called an ambulance.
When it got there the girl was still breathing but shallowly.
Saeko just watched the ambulance go.
She eventually got back to her apartment.

------------

Saeko got ready to go and meet her fathers lawyer at the raman Shop in Paulownia mall.
She could not stop thinking about the girl last night.
She got on the train to Paulownia Mall and walked to meet him.

She had her kunais with her and she remembered what her mother used to always say.

" you can never be to careful, always be prepared for anything and anyone"

Saeko smiled slightly at the memory.

Beka unlocked the door to her dad's house, kicking off her shoes and dumping her schoolbag next to them. She was still getting used to the Japanese custom of actually taking your shoes off when you entered a building. Weird how she could get used to the language easy enough, but still have to be reminded of something simple like that. The idea made her laugh.
"Dad? You home yet?", she called out in English, though by the silence that followed, it seemed he wasn't in yet. Typical. Then again, she should have expected it, her dad was never really in. He would still be at work just now. Oh wait, didn't he have a meeting tonight as well? Probably. So it meant it was just her for dinner then. Normally she wouldn't mind that, but it was pretty lonely now. Back home, there would have been someone in, usually one of the gang, who she probably wouldn't really talk to, but at least she wasn't alone in the house. Here she was. It was a big change for her.

Deciding she couldn't be bothered cooking, she ordered in some pizza, using up the last of her wages from the weeks work at the cafe. She was getting paid again tomorrow though, so that was okay. Plus she thought she deserved a treat, it had been a tough day. First school, where she had to try to keep up with the lessons, despite joining the class mid-semester. Then it was work, and because it was a Saturday, it was really busy. Add in the fact that Mika (another employeee) had called in sick today as well, and Beka's work load had doubled. The reason: she had to take on Mika's tables as well. And because of her own New York background, the other girls at the cafe expected her to be able to take care of any drunks and troublemakers that came in too. Of which there were quite a few of tonight. That just made things better, didn't it? She had better be getting paid extra for that.

She fell asleep on the couch, the sounds of the TV becoming background noise to her. A few hours later, her father came in, and seeing his daughter asleep, gently lifted her and carried her to her room, the way he would've done had she been a child. He had left before he had gotten the chance to do that though, when she was actually a little kid. Damn he regretted that now, and he also regretted the fact that he was starting work early again tomorrow, so he wouldn't be there when she woke up.

-------------------------

When Beka woke up, she was surprised to find herself in her room, though it didn't realy feel like her room yet. Most of her things were still in bags and suitcases. She just hadn't unpacked a lot of it yet. Mainly because she simply hadn't had time to, but also because it would mean that she would be accepting Japan as her new home. She wasn't really sure how she felt about that. To her, New York was home, not here, in this strange country where they talked weird and the school classes were about ten times harder than they were back home. She didn't know whether that was just beacuse she had to listen to the lessons in 'translator mode' though. It probably was.
Speaking of school, she had homework to do. Fun times. Bringing the leftover pizza into her room (in leiu of a proper breakfast), she got changed and sat at her desk. Lovely, maths was first. She hated maths...

Dante sat in front of the Naganaki shrine playing his ocarina. He stopped for a second to take a breath but before he could start he heard a mysteries voice. Three boys who went to the same school as Dante stood in front of him.
"Alone again loner boy"
"SHUT THE FUCK UP DEREK"
"OH YEAH AND WHAT YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT"
Dante sat in silence before standing up and walking away but as he reached the stairs the other two boys blocked him.
"Not going to stay and fight i hear your dad was half famous for that"
"Don't you ever compare me to that bastard"
"Aww that's right you don't have a dad do you"
Derek could see the anger in Dante's face . As Dante started to pace Derek never took his eyes off Dante. Dante put his ocarina down where he was sitting and through the first punch
