Akane Ranca

When I thought of out future, I figured it would be us going from one orphanage or street to another begging for them to taking us in and then being left out in the rain till the next day. That was till, Tsyuoi came into our lives, I don't wanna trust him seeing to how I've finally gotten used to our old life but now...I could have a better life for me and Ami. The life we could have had before.

I looked at him and hissed a bit. "You gonna take us or what?"
"I will Akane, Just give me a sec. I need to grab your papers and put them away"
He rustled my hair with his hand and then stood up. He grabbed them and turned back to it slinging a bag over his shoulder.
"Ready to go?"
"Mhm"
My sister gave him the go ahead as I remained silent. I'm not gonna have this grown bastard just come in and to be some sort of knight and then want to rape or kill us or something! I'm watching him, atleast.....Till I know we can trust him. Due to Ami's naivety, we believes his bullshit, but I'm not gonna fall for it! If he does one thing to her then I break him like a twig, I've done things I wouldn't like to admit but I'll easily make him one of those people. We all walk out as it started to rain. I pulled my jacket over my head as I picked up Ami. I put it over her head. I started back walking as the rain stopping but it was still falling in front of us. I look up to see Tsuyoi holding his umbrella over us.
"Can't have you both getting sick" He looked down at us and smile. Ami smiled back as I looked away.
"Lets just go okay"
"Alright" He started walking beside us till we got to a red car that was a lengths away from the school building. He pulled out his keys and unlocked the door opening it for me and my sister. I climbed in beside her in the back set. "2000 Toyota Supra. I see you at least some taste" I hissed.
"I'm glad you like it's, a gift from a friend of mine. "
"A creep like you...with friends? Ha!"
"What makes me a creep?"
"The fact that your willing to take in two little girls that you've never seen before?"
"So, I'm just being nice. I just don't wanna see people left behind like me."
Left behind like him? Is it me is he just trying to hard?
"I-I don't think he creep" said Ami. She looked down a twiddled her fingers a bit.
"That's very sweet of you Ami. I'm just doing what I though it right."
After that the drive was silent, we didn't say aside from the occasional peep from Ami cause of the bumps in the road. After a while we got to the house and Tsuyoi held his umbrella over the entire way there as I held Ami. He walked us in the building then into his apartment. He sat some stuff on a table then walked up stairs into a small room. He turned the lights on to reveal a room with another bed in it, then aside from that it had a bathroom and a couch.
"This is where you both are gonna stay. Sorry if it's a bit dusty. Nobody has been in her for a while. I'll have to take some time and clean it"
"*Tsk* whatever! I guess it's better then staying on the streets"
"T-Thank you mister Tsuyoi"
"You welcome Ami. I'm glad to help. Now then it's a tad late and I have Plenty of work to do. I'll bring you both a snack in a bit but you should get ready for bed."
Ami nodded and jumped onto the bed without touching it. She undid her scarf and put in on the dresser as she waited on me to get on the bed. I joined her pulling myself up then pulling her to me.
"Akane, What's wong?"
"Nothing, Just thinking?"
"Is it about Mister Tsuyoi?"
"You could say that"
"I think he a Nice guy. Don't you think so too?"
"I guess....He seems so but I don't trust him"
"I trust him. He really nice"
They say Kids can tell when someone is a threat better then any adult. I wanted to trust Ami's judgement but to be honest I couldn't really trust her judgment.
