Moonlight Flower

Chapter 1 - She is Found

A tall guy, almost 6-footer, wearing black pants and gray polo shirt, was walking alone in the streets of Fontaine City. He left the three buttons on his shirt opened even in the cold season.

He has black hair and a pair of almond-shaped brown eyes. He had silver hoop earrings and silver chain with an arrow dog tag pendant hanging on his neck.

This guy who kept walking was no other than Alexis "Musica" Argent of Argent Jewelry, Inc. He used to be the young bachelor heir of the company but decided to change his life from a businessman into private owner of a Securities Agency that provided any help based on a client's request.

He looked so bored, judging from his hands on his pockets and languid stare on his eyes. He probably misses his two companions: Clarence and Sora. They had gone out to go back to their hometown to finish the Prince's unfinished business with his ruthless father. They had gone for almost half a year and hadn't communicated him within these months, thus leaving him alone in the city.

Musica kept walking. He stopped when he's in front the door of one of his favorite French restaurants. He entered and took his place near the glass window. He was not in mood, for he didn't bother looking at the menu and just telling his orders to the waitress. He started to eat upon the arrival of his meal. He ate each course one after another. He didn't even remember that he ordered a full-course meal.

It was already 1:00 pm when he finished his meal. He was very full but still took the crepe he ordered last.

"I shouldn't waste food!" he told himself as he forced to eat the dessert.

Sipping the glass of his apple drink, he looked around for no particular reason. His eyes grew bigger when he saw a familiar person from the far corner. He can't clearly see him because of the sun's rays. He then shook his head upon confirming.

"He looks like Clarence..." he said, almost a whisper. Musica barely burst out the juice when he saw that person's posture. "It's a woman..."

That person was a woman indeed. She's tall and has a long black hair tied simply and neatly with a blue ribbon. She wore a plain peach-colored blouse and white jeans. She matched it with flat black sandals. She has a fair complexion and looks around 20 years old.

Musica kept staring and seemed to be captivated by her though he could only see her back and side view.

The girl left already after paying her meal. He slightly shrugged. He has returned to his normal self. His eyes are still following her until she was out of sight already.

"Clarence, Sora, you're so unfair! You should have let me come with you! And now I'm bored so much!"

The expression on his face still didn't change. He kept walking for almost five or ten minutes. He walked downstairs where there are many happy clubs and bars. He stopped there for a minute, as if planning to go inside to have some entertainment. But he proceeded to walk back the uptown. When he saw an empty juice can, he kicked it forcefully, still with hands on both pockets. "OH! I'm so bored here!" he cried out. "I even lost my interest on women..."

He stopped by in a bookstore. He read some books for about an hour. After reading, he placed the book back and looked for some more. He bought the new editions of mangas Inu Yasha (Rumiko Takahashi) and Groove Adventure Rave (Hiro Mashima), and his favorite funny comic book, The King Squirrel's New Adventure.

He walked and finally reached his simple two-storey block-house - their office as well. On the first floor, the kitchen and dining room was on the north of the house. At the center, there's a billiard table. On the east was a set of black sofa where they discuss about their missions or plans with their clients. On the west, there's a bar. On the second floor, there are five rooms. The three rooms are the three's respective room. The other two are vacant, for which they used as guests' rooms.
