My Story Part - Meeting Little Kichirou

*Feather goes and sits on an old rotten large trees branch alone.*

???: "I can't believe he had to blame the problem on us! We didn't do anything wrong!"

^What's that mumbling... Oh it's a girl... She's sorta cute...^

???: "H-hey are you okay?"

Feather: "W-who are you?"

???: "M-me? I'm a nobody! Why should you care?! You're a cute stupid girl!"

Feather: "W-wha?"

Crow: "What's going on here?"

*Crow comes out of a nearby bush.*

???: "What Nothing! She started it!"

*Someone comes out from behind him*

Claw: "Why are you in the middle of the woods?"

???: "What? That's not of your business!"

*Someone jumps off of a tree branch.*

Raven: "Now it is... You've messed up poor Fea."

???: "I haven't done anything to her!"

Crow: "What do you say?"

Feather: "I want to see, something..."

*She stands up and places both hands on his cheeks going closer to his face locking eyes intensely.*

???: "W-what are you doing?"

Feather: "What's your name?"

???: "K-Kichirou..."

Feather: "Why are you in the middle of the woods?"

Kichirou: "I heard mumbling..."

Feather: "That's not the only thing. Tell me the other."

Kichirou: "I-I runaway from home."

Claw: "And why would you do that?"

Kichirou: "My dad started yelling at me and then my younger twin brothers... About how my mom won't get better.'

Crow: "And the way you handled it was to run away?"

Kichirou: "I didn't know what to do..."

Raven: "So... What we gonna do? We can't let him close to our place."

*Feather releases her grip.*

Feather: "Leave him be. I see no point in killing him anyway."

Claw: "Whatever you say. You should be lucky."

Raven: "I wonder if we'll see you again."

Crow: "Dunno... it depends on the situation at hand."

Raven: "Sometimes I wonder if you're a girl."

Crow: "What does that mean?!"

*Feather looks down and turns a bit away from Kichirou.*

Feather: "You should leave."

Kichirou: "What? But I just..."

Feather: "I-I..."

*She looks up to see Kichirou's deep red eyes and quickly looks away to the side.*
