NEW PEOPLE

"who is she?" Dylan asked takumi

"I don't even know her name to begin with" he replied

"and she did all of this?" referring to takumi's torn down apartment

"I know right"

"dude this chick is dangerous, you can't have her in your apartment what if she kills you" he said

"I can't kill takumi, he's my friend" she said walking up to them

"you're awake, how's the wound" takumi asked

"which wound?" she asked

"the bullet wound on your shoulder" he asked looking for the wound on her but doesn't find it.

"there was never any bullet wound"

"I swear I saw the bullet wound on your shoulder" he said confused

"you might be hallucinating or something" she said giggling

"he's not lying I saw the wound too" Dylan said also looking for the wound

"well I'm starving, takumi cook please" she said grabbing his left arm

"I'll be in the kitchen in a minute"

"thank you" she runs back to watch TV

"you see what I'm talking about; when you help strange people strange things happen, the bullet was in her shoulder a minute ago well look now its gone" Dylan said

"okay that's really strange but the fact still remains that she saved my life, I owe her for that" takumi replied

"takumi will you be kicking me out soon?" she asked and he sighed

"well you can't stay here forever, you can stay for the meantime and when we find you an apartment of your own you can move out" he said

"thanks a lot takumi" she continued watching TV

"are you insane?" Dylan asked

"I've made my choice already if you can't handle it then be there, for all I know she stays and that's final" he said in a whisper

Dylan laughs angrily

"when everything goes south side don't come calling my number" he said, walked out angrily and slammed the door and takumi sighs.

later that evening...

takumi cooks up a steaming pot of ramen the aroma so nice that it allured his guest into the kitchen

"wow scents good" she said licking her lips

"if you think the scent is good wait till you try out the food" he said

"why are you being so nice to me?" show asked

"who wouldn't be, you saved my life and I guess this is the least I can do to repay you back"

"your friend doesn't seem to like me as much though"

"he's just being over protective that's all"

"do you think I'm dangerous as your friend thinks I am?" she asked in a sad tone

he paused for a while to reason the question and thought to himself "is she really that dangerous?" and he snapped out

"no I don't, I just think you're misunderstood" he smiles at her and held her hand "don't be so down on yourself okay"

she nodded and smiled.

"what's your name?" he asked

"I don't really have a clue what my name is or who I am?" she replied

"we have to give you a name since you don't know your name, hmm... let's call you.... iris, how does that sound?"

"sounds great" she smiled at him and gave him a hug.

later.....

iris walked out in the cold winter morning, the sun had not dawned and she sat think to herself "who she is?"

a short run down her mind that she was something else or or someone else but couldn't figure out who she was so she decided to take a stroll into the streets of tokyo and unknown to her someone was following her.

she stopped for a moment when she had a strange but comfortably soft feeling in between her legs, she looked down and saw a cat rubbing it's fur on her legs "what is it?" she asked herself and squatted to pet it's head and the cat ran away when someone stood behind her.

"hello miss, might I ask what you are doing all alone this early morning?, pls it's snowing and your legs are bare, please do come into my limo" a handsome British man with the charms enough to make a girl beg on her knees just to have him him for a night in his arms, he held out his hand to her offering to help her up and takumi slaps his hand and pushes him back.

"she's with me" he said

"I'm sorry do we have a problem here, I was only trying to be a gentle man"

"gentleman indeed but she doesn't need your help thank you" takumi said taking iris by the hand walks away, the man smiles at her and licks his lips weirdly.

takumi takes iris into the apartment and slammed the door.

"what were you doing out all alone, by yourself don't you know it's not safe?"

"sorry I didn't know you'd be angry I only wanted to have some fresh air" she said with a sad expression on her face and he succumbed to her cute face.

"well even if you wanted to go out tell someone will you?" he said sounding like he was her dad

"okay" she said

"get dressed we are going out"

"I don't have any clothes to change into" she reminded him

"oh i forgot," he said holding his head

"yeah"

"I'll get you something from my closet and we'll get going" he said walking into his room

"thank you" she said as he walked away

she walked to the window, looked across the street and saw the same man earlier in town, a school bus passed him and he disappeared. she stood shocked
