************THIS IS A PICTURE OF AKIRA**************
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to upset you. Let's stop talking about it. Okay?"
"Okay."
As we were walking through the woods, my thoughts wandered to Emily. It's sad to think a young girl like her was sold off into prostitution, even worse, her parents were the ones to do so. Sadly, it has happened too many times before. I was snapped back into reality by a soft crush of leaves, and it wasn't caused by us. I spun around to push Jesse and Emily into a nearby bush, just as something quickly charged into view. I cleared my mind and channeled all my thoughts to stop the being headed my way.
Down.
I open my eyes to see the creature skidding to halt just before my feet. I peered at it cautiously, but quickly realized it was a border collie. I kneeled for a closer inspection, it had a collar with Doshi written on it. I took in my surroundings and a few minutes later emerged a teen boy from the bushes calling out for Doshi. The dog barked and the boy turned his head my way. He seemed to be surprised by my presence. I slowly stood as he walked towards me I noticed his eyes were were ice blue and he had long light green hair.
"Who are you?" said the boy curiously.
"Just a stranger passing through." I responded calmly.
"You're trespassing." he said through guarded eyes.
"I'm sorry we'll be on our way." I smiled politely.
"We?" he asked.
I turned towards where Emily and Jesse were hiding and called out to them.
"We, as in us three. We seem to be lost and so we were just looking for a street." I improvised as the kids quickly caught on,
"Well if thats the case, then you could stay at my place and call home. My name is Akira" he smiled warmly.
"Well I'm their guardian and we don't have parents." I said quietly looking away.
"I'm so sorry I didn't know. If you'd like you could stay at my home, I have an apartment since my parents are always traveling for business." he offered kindly.
"That'd be amazing, but of course we can't without an equivalent exchange."
"Well, you could cook since I can't." he said blushing, tilting his head down.
I chuckled at his actions and thought about it. Akira seemed like a nice guy and all I would have to do is cook. It was an obvious decision.
"Well then, I am Uru, your new cook. They are Emily and Jesse." I smiled and shook his hand.
"Awesome! My apartment isn't too far from here so follow me guys. Come on Doshi." Akira grinned as he headed in the direction of his home.
