Takaba watched as her chest rose and fell, her body was curled in the fetal position as she slept.
She looked so peaceful when she slept, one would never imagine that she had almost been sold off.
She opened her eyes slowly, first looking around the room as if for the first time until her eyes laid upon him. Realization came to her as a small smile reached her eyes.
"Ohayou Sora-chan"
"Ohayou... Aki-niisama"
"How do you feel about having breakfast outside today?"
"Outside?" He gave her a saddened smile, he kept her inside ever since making her papers.
She must have felt like she would never go out again. It should be alright, she looks different now, and I haven't noticed any of Takayama's men around.
"We haven't been out since your second day here, how do you like Tokyo?"
"...busy." They walked on the main streets of Shibuya, Sora still felt momentarily dizzy from the over packed underground train and now from the busy streets.
"Hahaha, can't deny that." He noticed two men when he left his apartment, deciding to take the busiest streets and underground trains to lose them. It had worked perfectly, The two bulky men weren't even able to get on the packed train.
"Let's eat here, its a family restaurant. We can rest before continuing."
Takaba watched as she devoured the food, once again, amazed at how happy she became when she ate food she liked. He smiled as he remembered the onigiri he had first given her.
"Oniisama. Oniisama! What is this?" She pointed to the omelette on her plate, poking it with her chopsticks.
"It's an omelette, its made of eggs. Try it."
She took a piece and put it in her mouth, looking at him with a hint of doubt in her eyes that was quickly replaced with a strong shine of amazement.
"Oniisama! This is amazing! It tastes soo good."
He chuckled, he never saw anyone enjoy eating as much as her.
"Shall I make you some at home? I can even teach you how to do it."
"Really! Thank you Aki-niisama!"
Once done, they packed up and headed out to the now less busy streets.
"What happened?"
"What do you mean?"
"The streets, where did the people go?"
"Hahaha, they went to work or school. The morning rush hour is over now, so it will be less busy until lunch time."
"Amazing."
Everything amazes her, I find her to be the amazing one.
As they walked through town, Takaba saw a group of young children with their parents surrounding a truck playing music.
"Do you want some ice-cream?"
"What's ice cream?"
He stared at her in disbelief. "Sora-chan, please tell me you are not an alien."
"I'm not an alien."
He put his hand on her head, patting her gently to ease away her pouting expression.
"I'm sorry, I will tell you everything you don't know, I will let you experience everything you didn't get to yet. Starting with the amazing world of ice cream." He gave her an assuring grin that held a deep promise.
She held the ice cream awkwardly, trying to match the way he did.
"Try it."
He waited as she licked the side, the cold sweet vanilla and chocolate flavor seeped into her tongue. He chuckled at her quick change of expressions as the cold that made her shiver became a sweetness she fell in love with.
"Ice cream... is also amazing."
"Hahaha, I'm glad you like it. Let's keep going."
"Aki-niisama, how come we came out today?"
"I wanted to go out on a date with you"
"A date?"
"Yes, its when two people go out, have fun and eat good food together."
"I...see. I like dates."
He watched as her cheeks flushed into a light pink colour, her lips slightly curled into an honest smile. At the very least, in that moment she was happy. I'm glad we came out, she needed this. Aozora Takaba, I promise to always fight for your happiness. To see that expression on you gives me the strength and joy to do so.
They walked along the streets, admiring the different kinds of shops and the colours of spring.
"We should go shopping before heading back, to get you new clothes and... sora-chan?"
"Oniisama! Look! Its a photograph!" Her high pitched voice grabbed his attention, he looked up to see her face planted into the window trying to get a closer look at the photograph on display.
"Do you want to go inside?"
"Inside?"
"Its a gallery, there are many more photographs on display inside."
"Ohhh. I want to go inside."
Sora entered the building, looking up and down and side to side, the lobby was painted in a gold colour that caught your sight no matter where you looked. She never experienced such beauty before. She ran towards the double doors where she saw another photograph on display. Is that the gallery? She couldn't remember the last time she was so excited.
"Wait! Sora!"
Takaba pulled her back and held her hand firmly.
"why?..."
"We need to buy tickets first."
"oh." As she was being brought to the line, Sora looked back towards the double doors, wondering what she will soon see. A handsome man walked out taking away her attention, he was on the phone and walked powerfully towards the exit in a way that made all heads in the hall turn. Gold.
They waited in line, Sora stood next to Takaba eating her ice cream patiently. Each lick filled her with joy. She looked up to the man who had saved her and given her a name. My niisama looks young, I wonder how old he is. He became my father at such a young age. Is it ok...to be with him? He looked down at her with a smile, as if to say just a little longer. He is also very kind, too kind. And handsome. He looked better than everyone else I saw today. Ah. no, there was one person who looked more handsome...Gold-ojiisan.
"Ready Sora-chan?"
"huh, ah, Hai!"
They walked through the double doors and into the gallery, excitement was an understatement for the expression he saw on her face. Her entire body lit up, going from one photograph to another.
"Ah! Sora! WATCH OUT!"
BAM!
"Oww!."
"Ahh, I'm terribly sorry little one, I didn't see you there. Are you ok?"
A blonde man bent down to calm the young girl who bumped into him and was now on the verge of tears.
Takaba ran towards them, bowing while apologizing for his ruined clothes that now had ice cream smeared on it.
"Hahaha, no worries, I can simply change. However this young one lost her ice cream." He looked to Sora with a sad expression.
"I know! What's your name little one?"
"So...Aozora.
"Aozora, what a beautiful name you have. Do you like candy Aozora?"
"Candy?"
"Yes, a strawberry flavor candy." He took out a candy from his pocket and handed it to her.
She stared at it for a minute before popping it into her mouth and having an explosion of emotion fill her.
"Hahaha, you must truly love sweets Little Miss Aozora." He stood and faced the man who apologized. "I apologize again for taking away her ice cream Mr...?"
"No. Thank you for the candy, it looks like she's enjoying it. Its Takaba, Takaba Akihito, and you are?"
"Ah. Mr. Takaba, its a pleasure to make your aquaintance. I am currently travelling from Europe, my name is John Kim."
"Its a pleasure to meet you Mr. Kim, welcome to Japan, I hope you enjoy your stay."
"Thank you. It has been good so far, a friend has been showing me around."
"That's great, I suggest visiting a hot spring inn while you are here."
Yes, I will remember that, thank you. I would have loved to stay and chat longer, however my friend is waiting for me outside, so I really should be going. It was good to meet you Miss Aozora and Mr. Takaba, I hope our paths cross again.
"Likewise Mr. Kim."
"Thank you for the candy Kim-ojiisan"
"Hahaha, you are very welcomed, little blue angel. Adieu"
They watched as he left through the double doors into the crowd.
"He's handsome too"
"What?"
"Nothing."
Asami looked at the man in front of him, thinking about their discussion, this alliance brought forth much benefit to Sion in terms of trade routes and expansion. However it seems now, there could be another benefit. Asami enjoyed additional benefits. However, it seemed too...easy. And nothing worried him more than something free.
"Mr. Kim..."
RING RING RING*
"Excuse me"
Asami: "Hello"
Kirishima: "Asami-sama, we found a rat."
Asami: "Give me a sec."
"Mr. Kim, I will need to excuse myself, please take your time viewing the remainder of the gallery and I will meet you about we continue our talk over lunch."
"That will be fine Mr. Asami, I will be out shortly."
With a nod, Asami headed through the double doors, ignoring all the looks of awe he received and walked out of the building. Hell will be paid for those rats who enter my territory.
Asami: "Kirishima, tell them to lock him up in the usual warehouse, they can start the slow torture and I will finish it up in the evening. Make it, painful. And bring the car around, we're heading to lunch.
Kirishima: "Hai, Asami-sama. With pleasure."
Asami raises his eyebrow as Mr. Kim exited the building, his clothes now smeared in ice cream.
Mr. Kim chuckled "I met a young blue angel and took away her ice cream."
"Blue angel is it, you must be very lucky or fated, its not every day a blue angel with ice cream walks into a gallery and bumps into you."
"Hahaha, you are right, she must be a special one. It seemed like she had a kind guardian as well.
"I wish I could have met them, for now it seems like we need to change plans, shall we go shopping before lunch, Shibuya has great clothing shops I believe you will appreciate.
"Sounds like fun."
Takaba walked with Sora from photograph to photograph, taking their time, giving each of their opinion and critisicm. He admired the young girls knowledge and interest in the topic having only been exposed to it these last few weeks.
"I realized, I really like photography. They give me a sense of the world I never knew and...a sense of warmth, especially yours niisama."
He stopped and turned to find her looking at a monochrome image with children playing and the colour red bringing the slide on the right and a young girl's jacket on the left alive. He walked and stood beside her, taking a closer look at the image. The way the children's smiles were faded by the red colour. The fact that the red represented loneliness, one for the empty slide and the other for the lonely girl.
"I don't remember much of my childhood. But I do remember I was always alone. The world was grey. But... when you took my hand and ran, the world slowly filled with colour, one after the other. The first one was hazel, the colour of your eyes. And the second was blue, the colour of Aozora, your photograph of the sky" She looked up at him with a smile that was priceless.
"Arigato, Akihito-oniisama"
