Chapter Text
4/9 Saturday
A tall girl with long black hair, a few piercings, glasses and beautiful gray eyes yet devoid of any emotions, is looking at the city of Tokyo through the window of the train she was in, while at the same time recalling the memories that led to her current situation.
She was walking at night on her way home when suddenly a scream caught her attention, it wasn’t very far off so she decided to go and look where the scream came from.
What she saw made her blood boil, it was a bald man in his late 40’s trying to push a woman that looked several years younger than him in his car while telling her to go in, in that moment she knew that she had to step in to help.
“Hey leave her alone you creep!” The girl said while putting her hand in the man’s shoulder.
“Huh, who the fuck-” While turning around to look for the feminine voice that just interrupter him he tripped with his own foot and fell face down. After standing up again and holding his bleeding forehead the man spoke again “Ugh…Damn brat…I’ll sue!”
After recalling those memories once again her eyes previously without any emotion are now filled with anger, but after a few moments that anger calmed down by its own. Minutes later the intercom of the train said that her destination was arriving.
-------------
The girl had heard stories of how crowded Shibuya usually gets but she never imagined that it was this bad. Just getting out of the train was pretty complicated with how much people there is, but now she was trying to get to another lane and she couldn’t find it.
“Ugh…where the fuck is the Lane to Yongen!?” She kept walking while holding her phone and ended up in an even more crowded place ‘Somehow I ended in the Shibuya intersection…’ when she was about to turn around, she saw something weird on her phone, an app with the icon of a red eyeball was there ‘I don’t remember installing this…?!’ after accidentally pressing the app all the people around the girl stopped moving “What the heck...?” muttered out loud.
Moments later she saw blue flames in the shape of a person forming in the middle of the street, and a familiar yet strange face smiling wildly at her. And in a blink of an eye everything started moving once again ‘I must be going fucking crazy now…anyway, I’ll delete this weird looking app’
-------------
Now arriving at Yongen-Jaya in front of what looked like a second-hand store.
‘Finally…I guess now I should find the house of Sojiro Sakura; it says here that is on the backstreets…but I don’t know where exactly so I am going to ask someone for help’ Right at that moment someone walked just past her so she reached and tapped lightly the shoulder of that person “Excuse me…”
“Huh...yes? Can I help you?” A beautiful woman with dark blue short hair wearing a green drees and what looked like a doctor’s coat over it asked.
‘Wow she looks really beautiful…’
“Hello…? Did you need something or…?”
“Oh right, sorry. I need to find the house on this address could you help me, please?” Said the girl while showing the her the address on the phone while praying the woman doesn’t notice the embarrassment on her face.
“Of course. Just keep walking straight until you reach that small apartment complex and turn right, it should be around there.”
“Thanks, have a nice day.”
“With pleasure, you too.” Said the woman with a small smile and walking away.
‘At least there is still nice people around…’ the girl thought while slowly walking to where the woman said.
-------------
‘I feel like I’m walking in circles today… first Shibuya and now this…’ thought the girl standing in front of ‘Café LeBlanc’ with irritation on her face recalling what the Delivery Man said to her when she was ringing the doorbell on Sakura’s home.
“Looks like no one is home…” a delivery man said behind the girl.
‘No shit Sherlock…’ She thought, then turning around to look at him with an emotionless face.
“Oh, yeah…Sakura’s usually at his café around this time. Well, LeBlanc’s in the back alley, so I should make my other deliveries first…” he kept talking to himself after that.
The girl then opened the door of the café, stepped in and took a look around, there were two costumers sitting in the booths together and the only other person there was a man with a pink shirt and an apron sitting in the bar reading a newspaper. After talking a bit with the costumers, the man looked up from the newspaper and finally noticed the girl.
“…Oh right. They did say that was today.”
The costumers got up to leave, not before talking more to the man about car crashes.
“…Four hours for just a single cup of joe.” He said with a sigh
‘…Rough’ the girl thought to herself.
“So, you’re Rin?” The man asked, probably already knowing the answer.
“…Rin Amamiya, please take good care of me.” she said with little to no emotions at all.
“…Uh-huh. I’m Sojiro Sakura. You’ll be in my custody over the next year” Sojiro said with the same levels of enthusiasm of Rin. “I was wondering what kind of unruly kid would show up, so you’re the one, huh?” A slight smirk across his face.
“Yep, that’s me…very unruly as you can see.” a slight smirk on her face.
“You…do look more unruly than I thought.” said the man while looking her in the face.
Sojiro was probably referring to the piercings on Rin’s face and ears, alongside with the black eyeshadow and eyeliner that she has on right now.
“Well, a few weeks in juvie while waiting for the trial does that to you sometimes, y’know?” She said with a slight sarcastic tone and looking at the sides.
Sojiro without anything else to say on that matter coughed awkwardly a few times before continuing to speak.
“Anyway, have you been told? A costumer of mine and your parents know each other and- Well, not that that matters … Follow me.”
Sojiro turns around to walk to where the stairs are and goes up, Rin follows closely behind him.
They enter an attic, which for Rin’s surprise is clean and has all her furniture and belongings like her bed, nightstand, wardrobe, desk, a small bookshelf, other things like electronics, clothes and etc… “This is your room.”
“Mmm…”
“You look like you wanna say something.”
“…Well, when I saw that we were going to the attic I kinda expected it to be in ruins and to be honest I didn’t expect most of my things to be here.”
“I cleaned up the place a few days ago and your parents sent a moving company with all your stuff so they brought it up here, it’s still up to you to organize everything though”
“I-I see…thanks” Rin said still glancing at the attic and her belongings.
It was pretty big for a room and it still felt empty due to not being decorated yet but that will change with due time. There was even an old couch that probably belongs to Sojiro, Rin would later organize everything with patience so she can be satisfied with her own room.
Sojiro suddenly spoke again interrupting Rin’s thoughts “So, I’ll be leaving after I lock up each day. You’ll be alone at night, but don’t do anything stupid. I’ll throw you out if you cause any trouble.”
‘And I thought that he liked me at least a little…’ After a mental sigh Rin spoke out loud with a tired expression “Yup, got it.”
After that, Sojiro started talking about Rin’s situation and said that they’ll both have to go to Shujin tomorrow to introduce themselves to the staff properly.
He then left the room so Rin could start taking her belongings out of the boxes and organize everything.
She sighed while opening the boxes and looking inside ‘They didn’t send my music stuff…well it was pretty fucking obvious; a guitar and an amplifier don’t fit in these small ass boxes…it’s not like I was gonna use them anyway; at least not anymore.’ Rin then kicked one of the now empty boxes ‘I wonder what they did to those, they send everything else except for that…’
-------------
A few hours later Rin which was now wearing casual clothes and not her uniform, finished decorating and organizing everything. She was honestly feeling pretty satisfied with how the room ended up; it looked really comfy. Rin then looked at the window ‘Damn its already dark outside…I have been at this for a while huh…’
Sojiro then knocked the wall in the side of the stairs to at least let Rin know that he was going up in the room’s lack of a door.
Now fully into the room Sojiro was looking around with amazement “I heard you making a lot of noise up here, to think that you were really decorating” he then looked around in more detail “It doesn’t look too bad…nice, kid” with a smile of his face he continued “Now then. Why don’t you go to bed for tonight? Tomorrow is an important day y’know.”
“Yeah, I know, I was going to anyway. I’m pretty tired to be honest…” Rin said while sitting on her bed before yawning.
“Okay, I’m going to close up shop and get out of here myself. Rest well, see you tomorrow.”
He then went down of the stair and out of LeBlanc not before locking the place.
After taking her makeup off and putting some pajamas on, Rin is now prepared to go to sleep, but not before checking her phone for a few minutes and of course there was no notifications as usual. Rin sighed and closed her eyes ‘Of course there is nothing…what else do you expect Rin? No one wants to talk to you anymore.’
Then she opened her eyes again and saw that weird eyeball icon from before in the phone ‘Wha- thought that I deleted it…’ then proceeded to delete it once again.
While closing her eyes again she couldn’t stop herself from remembering that awful man that accused her, the man that ruined and striped away the little life that she had left. All the memories of that night flooding her mind like every time she wanted a peaceful night sleep, but it wouldn’t stop no matter of what else she thought of, all her previous memories were painful now that she couldn’t go back, and there was nothing in which she could find comfort. Maybe except crying…and crying she did, until her eyes were red and breathing was difficult, then after a few minutes she finally fell sleep.
