Original Stories Fan Fiction ❯ Untitled for now ❯ Chapter 1

I slowly walked to school my long hair hiding my face slightly. I was techniquely foreign to Japan though I didn't look it. My mother had been purely Japanese, while my father was only half Japanese and half American. The only thing that betrayed my slightly mixed heritage was my eyes, instead of the chocolate or coffee brown they were crystal sapphire blue that and my height that was about five foot ten. Other than that I looked like the typical Japanese girl black hair that now reached the tops of my thighs and light olive colored skin. Though I suppose before I go any further I should introduce myself, my name is Mara, Ukari Mara. I had lived in America where my fathers family was for 16 years before my mother died due to `uncertain circumstances', or that's what the police said at least. Not even a week after the funeral my father moved me to Japan that was almost two years ago.

 

Now I walk to school every day wearing my navy blue skirt that reached just above my knees with a white button down short sleeved shirt a navy blue collar a red scarf hanging out the bottom and to top it off knee high white socks with black shoes. My black bag was slung over my shoulder heavy with due homework.

 

When I got to the school, one of the more prestigious High Schools, I slipped off my shoes and on my slippers proceeding to my class room.

 

At lunch I sat on my desk quietly munching on my food making sure to keep my head down so my hair hid my face and in avertedly the large bruise that covered the left side of my face. I sat alone everyone else in their own little groups. Even though I had been here for nearly two years I had never made any friends, not that I wanted to after my mother died and my father changed.

 

Finally school was over, now I just had to get through my martial arts club with out letting any one find out about what happened, or has been happening. I got to the gym and immediately helped pull out all the mats and put them in place before heading to the locker room to change into my gym clothes which consisted of a pair of black shorts and red wife beater deciding to leave my hair down.

 

I ended up being paired with a guy named Sagari Kurama. He had the typical Japanese looks black hair paired with chocolate brown eyes and lightly tanned olive skin though his height was a bit odd him being about six foot five. He was one of the best martial artists belonging to the club. Kurama wore a pair of dark grey pants with a white wife beater and I must say it looked extremely good on him.

 

After we started sparring both of us getting lost in the movements I didn't realize I tossed my hair over my shoulder revealing the large bruise to him until I heard a gasp causing me to pause balanced on my right leg, my left just a few inches away from him at his waist. Luckily at this point everyone else was preparing to leave, not paying us any attention. I slowly put my leg down since Kurama obviously wasn't going to continue fighting me, he was simply standing there looking at my face with something akin to disgust and hatred. I knew he wouldn't buy anything I told him since my gracefulness was known by the school so I did the only thing I could think of.

 

“Gomen ne Sagari-san.” And with that I fled to the locker room, probably not the best choice on my part.

 

I waited a while after putting my uniform on before leaving the locker room hoping that Kurama would have left my now, as it turns out luck was not on my side. As soon as I left the locker room there he was leaning against the wall in his own navy blue uniform.

 

I chewed my lower lip slightly a bad habit I had when I was nervous or scared and I was defiantly nervous my voice coming out barely over a whisper. “Hi Saragi-san…”

 

He looked at me almost like he was disappointed before speaking softly. Kurama's voice was incredible, it was deep with an almost predatory growl in it just all together amazing. “What is that bruise from Ukari-san.”
