good and evil is not clear cut as it is should be because that is how life is supposed to be, complicated.
How she truly wanted to strangle the guy right here and right now. "Did you just threaten me?" Her eyes widen in disbelief on how easy it was for this guy to resort into violence, just to get his way. That was absurd for him to think that people would just back off because it. She was not those kind of people. "You're need to be taught some manners!" With a small twist, she grabbed hold on his arm as he passed by her. Their shoulders colliding. "I get it you have a right to be grumpy, but pay attention when--"
Those words stopped there as somehow. Her voice locked up inside of her. It was because of a presence she sensed as if in reaction to the name the guy spoke of.
Ryoka?
And so, her hand released its clutch onto his arm. Her irritation subsiding after thunderous waves. Instead, she was filled with the emotion of sadness and a tingling hope. Those eyes of sunset reflected an individual not belonging to this realm. She tuned only to its fleeting voice speaking of something as if seeking her approval. There was confusion on her face and it heightened as the figure vanished like smoke in the wind. "Please wait!" Her hand instinctively reached out in desperation, but what met her were no one and the curious gazes of people around her.
She took a moment to assess her situation and understood how weird she looked right now. "Ah... Hehehehe..." The hand which reached out was now behind her head. "Well, have a nice day everyone!" She waved towards them with her other hand as she slowly backed away and then quickly made her exit like Speedy Gonzales. "I swear it! That guy is going to receive a payback when I see him again!" It didn't register to her that the speed of the guy's disappearance could be considered abnormal. Well to her, nothing really fall to that category and second she really didn't notice it as her attention was on another.
"Uh... Anyway, where am I?" She stopped midway in her escape and looked around. The place was completely unfamiliar to her. Well, this is his first time in this country really. "I guess, I could call some help." She took out her phone and grimaced at her situation. That is because her phone's battery was blinking indicating it was losing its charge and soon enough it shut down. "I am so going to be scolded later. I just know it." She shook her head and released a heavy sigh. Oh well, her kicking herself won't do any good. Might as well find an alternative phone to use. She does remember the numbers she could call for assistance like her guardian.
A plan in set, she looked around her and noticed a small garden supply store. She could ask to use their phone if they allowed it. A smile filled her lips as she approached an elderly man sweeping in front of the shop. "Excuse me, Sir?" The old man responded by looking at her with that wary and harsh gaze. At this point, she wondered if people from Japan are culturally bad mood individuals. "Good day, my name is Yume. " She had a smile on her face and then showed him her cell. "My cell just run out of battery and I really need to call someone."
The old man narrowed his eyes towards her. She has a feeling that her request won't be granted, but its better to go forward than go backwards. "So, good Sir if you have a phone, May I kindly use it? I will owe you big time!" She then made a prayer gesture and closed her eyes in fervent favor. The old man was silent and she could feel the tension around them. "Are you this girl?" She opened her eyes and what came into her view was a magazine cover of her doing a vampire-themed spread of a clothing line. "Yes, that's me." She pointed to herself while nodding her head in affirmation.
This kind of situation was normal to her. Ever since that magazine cover was published, people often would ask her if she was a vampire really or something. Of course, she would answer no. Well, there are other questions, but she's fine with it. That's part of the job. "Sign this for me! I'm your fan!" She took a step back as the old man suddenly turned into an adoring fan with all those animated hearts floating about. "S--sure! No problem! Thank you for your support!" She signed the magazine cover willingly and find it adorable that someone like him is a fan of hers. It warms the heart really. "Uhm, so can I use your phone?"
"Of course! Anything for you! Come in!" She was then ushered inside of the store. "Thank you very much!" It seemed that the day was looking up again for her. Unaware, that there was another imminent meeting just around the corner for her inside this small garden supply store.
As for a certain doctor, he was currently driving his car. The bouquet of sunflowers was on the passenger seat as he was searching for his ward that had gone missing according to his assistant. He was aware of that charge of his tendency to do reckless things, the action type than the dawdling kind. That was respectable but downright annoying at times. However, it does remind him of that certain someone. For that moment, his memory played out in front of him. That smile and those words lingered inside of him over and over.
"Wait for me. I'll finish it." At that exact moment, his cell rang again with an unknown number. It returned him to reality as he answered it through his headset. "Speak." What answered him was that voice, "Say!" It seemed the search is over.
