As the bullet train came to a slow stop at the station the conductor came over a speaker, "All those getting off at Kirigaya, I repeat Kirigaya" with that, the train doors opened and a wave of people stepped out onto the platform among the sea of black and brown haired people a flash of dark red could be seen.


    The dark red belonged to a boy who was a bit taller then those around him, he had a melancholy look on his face, he had a bag strapped to his shoulder plus a suitcase, he held a phone in his hand which on the screen showed what looked like a map with direction mapped out. He grumbled as he studied it, "Alright, according to this they live a few miles south of the train station" the boy looked up from his phone, he was glad he was tall, he looked over the sea of heads so that he could plan out a way through the sea of people.


    He made his way through once he had a route figured out, he bobbed and weaved through the wave of people, this was one drawback of being so tall, he struggled to break through the wall of people he felt like it had taken him about five minuets to make his way out of the sea of people. When he got free he headed down the stairs from the platform, a closer look at the boy revealed that he was around his late teens or getting into his early twenties. Besides his tallness the boy was built quite well, he wasn''t as big a a bodybuilder he just had a very toned body but, that coudn''t really be seen under his baggy jacket and pants. The jacket the boy wore looked to be a worn running jacket, on the front was a white label with his name written on it, the ink was a bit faded but it read out ''Naoki Shirio'', that was the boys name.


    As Naoki walked to the exit of the train station his face still held that melancholy look, he stopped moving and stood still, he looked up at the ceiling, "I wonder if this is what she''d want" he said in a somber tone. Naoki could feal his heart ache with sadness, he touched his chest and gripped his jacket tightly, "Misa..." he whispered, out of the corner of his eye Naoki could see people staring at him, he shook his head and his arm went back to his side. He then started walking again, he made his way outside and stopped at a stone coloum outside the trainstation, he looked down at his phone at the map, "Alright, from here I go.." he looked to the right "That way" with that Naoki started walking once more.


    As he walked away from the trainstation Naoki looked around at his surroundings, "So, this is Kirirgaya?" he looked at the various buildings and businesses he''d passed along his way, Kirirgaya wasn''t the boys home town, he was actually moving to Kirigaya because he enrolled in a collage that was located there. His parents were against him going to an out of town collage when there was one in his hometown but, he had presuaded his parents to let him go but, only because he agreed he''d live with his aunt and uncle that lived in Kirigaya. Naoki had agreed, if that was the only condition it was nothing, he just didn''t want to be in his hometown anymore it was where memories of Misa were, suddenly, at just the mere thought of her made Naoki''s face darken with sadness.


    His heart ached, "Why''d you have to leave me like that?" he whispered, "I''m sorry" came a feminine voice, Naoki''s eyes went wide, he gripped his phone tightly, Naoki shook his head, he had to forget about that, about her, but somehting told him, he wouldn''t be able to forget Misa. Naoki walked in silence for about a few blocks before he came to a fork in the path, he looked down at his phone "Lets see, where do I go from here?" he studied the map until he found what he needed "Alright, from here I make a left" he looked to the left fork and started walking down it. As he walked Naoki felt his was a good idea to look up where he had to go next, as he studied the map his phone beeped, a message icon came up, it said ''Mom'', he sighed and pressed the message. "Must be Mom checking to see if I made it okay" the message opened up and replaced his map, Naoki stopped and decided to focus on the message from his Mom.

    Sure enough, the message read out ''Hey, I was just wanting to check and see if you made it to Kirigaya'' Naoki sighed, "If you were worried I wasn''t going to make it alright then, why''d you let me go?" Naoki pulled up a blank text message, his fingered zoomed over his screen after he was finished a message was typed out in the box it read as such, ''Yes, I made it okay, I''m on my way to Aunty and Uncle''s place'', "And send" he pushed the ''send'' button and his message was off to his Mom. Naoki then tried to pull his map back up but his phone buzzed again before he could, he groaned it was a replie from his Mom, it read ''Oh good, make sure you don''t cause them any trouble while your staying with them'', Naoki sent ''I know, I''ll behave myself'', his Mom answered back, ''You better, if I hear that you caused trouble I''m making you come back'', Naoki sent ''Okay! I got it, you don''t have to worry!''.


    His Mom sent back, ''Okay, anyway, there is something I wanted to ask you before you left but, I didn''t have the courage to ask you'', Naoki raised an eyebrow and he sent ''Ask me what?'', Naoki waited for a response from his Mother. Her message came on his screen, Naoki just caught a glimpse of what had been written in the message but his face showed great sadness, the message read out, ''I wanted to know, does this have anything to do with Misa-chan?''. Naoki shuddered, he sent back ''No, this has nothing to do with her, and don''t bring her up again'' Naoki pounded the ''send'' button, his Mom responded with ''Alright, I''m sorry I brought it up'' Naoki felt bad, he had just snapped at his Mom for mentioning Misa in a text. He sent back, ''Sorry, and like I said, it''s not about her'', his Mom responded ''Okay'' after he inital response his Mother sent a second message, ''I found a photo frame with a picture of Misa-chan'' Naoki read the message over.


    He gave a shuddering breath, a third message fallowed his Mothers second, ''What do you want me to do with it?'' Naoki thought for a bit, he slowly typed out a response, ''Could you send it to me?'', he gave another shuddering breath, his Mother replied, ''Sure'' Naoki smiled, ''Thanks'' he sent. After that, no more messages came from his Mother, Naoki was still standing where he had stopped, the smile he had vanished and his face grew solem, Naoki pulled his map back up and started back on his way. After walking what seemed like hours Naoki finally came to his Aunt and Uncles house. "This is it" he looked up from his phone at the one story house in front of him, Naoki put his phone away and walked through the gate and up to the front door, he softly knocked on the door and called out, "Aunty, Uncle, it''s me Naoki" he heard no response.


    "Are they not home yet?" Naoki knocked again, "Hello?!, Aunty?! Uncle?!" he got no response again, Naoki knocked and called out a third time, when he heard no answer he sighed "Great, I''m here but they''re not" Naoki was about to pull out his phone and call his Aunts phone to find out where they were when all of a sudden someone shouted at him. "Hey! What the hell are you doing here!?" the voice belonged to a girl, Naoki looked back and staring at him with glaring brown eyes was indeed a girl. [END]
