Shun lay on the grass, looking up at the stars. His mother was working late and he didn't feel like being alone again. It was times liket these that he wished he had some friends to just hang out with. Or a time-consuming hobby or something. The night air wasn't too cold, and there weren't many clouds.
The stars shone brightly and Shun sighed.

Amber ran through the park tears staining her cheeks, her family seemed to care less and less everyday about her. They yelled at every little thing she did so she ran off wanting to cry in peace until she tripped over something. She looked over to see she didn’t trip over a branch but a guy about her age who was lying there. She sighed because she knew she had to apologize for it.

"Are you okay, miss?" Shun asked, crawling over to where the girl was sprawled. Only when she looked straight at him did he notice the crystal diamonds on her face. He tried not to panic; there had to be some reason why a girl would be crying. He stood and offered her a hand, "Is there anything I can do..."

Amber didn’t know what to say so she just put a smile back on her face “I’m fine sorry about tripping over you I was……distracted” she looked away as the tears came back “I don’t know why they hate me.” she mumbled silently before looking back up at the boy “why were you laying out here anyway?” she mentally slapped herself at the stupid question. The answer was obvious because he felt like it.

Hate her? "I like watching the sky, I guess." Shun said, shrugging. "And don't worry about it, I was pretty much asked to be tripped on; lying here in the dark." Shun looked down at her, feeling sad suddenly. Tears were slipping down her face and he could see them rolling down her starlit face even though she was trying to hide them.
"May I ask why you are crying?" Shun asked gently, kneeling down beside her.

"well I always have problems with people because I ran away from my adopted parents and now my new family is starting to hate me now I have a bad time with people.” she took a deep breath after saying that all in a huge run on sentence. “I cant take people anymore no one understands me.” she cried holding onto the boy in front of her.

Shun didn't know what to do at first, this chick was a complete stranger. Then Shun wrapped his arms around her and let her cry into him. This girl had been through a lot and she needed to cry for a while, "Shh," He didn't say it was going to be alright because he didn't know. Even when he had one of his visions, he didn't always know.

Amber looked up at him “I’m really sorry I’m not usually like this. My name is Amber by the way” she whipped the tears from her eyes the, smile returning to her face “I should make it up to you want to go get ice cream or something?” she didn’t know why she was saying she would but he seemed so nice. but hey he was the nicest person she had talked to in a while

''I'm sure it wasn't 'nothing.'" Shun muttered under his breath, but he smiled. "Ice cream would be lovely. I'm Shunsuke, by the way." Shun pulled her up without using much energy. He smiled at her, glad she wasn't crying anymore. Crying girls always made him sad and all panicky.

"Uh..I'm 17." Shun said, totally confused. One second, she was crying and the next she was skipping and making up random sayings. "How old are you and...er...do you have Multiple Personalities or something?"

"I'm 16 and yes at times I do it started when I was 9 because of my adopted family" she shrugged like it was no big deal as she was handed her ice cream "I love it here! so I told you about me what about you?" she knew she was being a little pushy but she didnt care she just giggled like always.

"Umm..." Shun started, mind reeling. How much should I tell her? he wondered. "I've lived in Japan my whole life, but me and mom live alone...er...because of family problems." Shun ordered his cone and waited, digging into his pockets for the money for both.

"no I said I would since you help me!" she put the money on the counter and smiled at him "guess were not that diffrent both have family problems." the smile never left her face as she sat down on a chair "sometimes the past molds the present and helps you meet the people you should." she carelessly ate her ice cream "thats what has helped me all these years." she sighed and looked away "well most of the time"

Shun blinked as he sat down, amazed at the wisdom spewing from this girls mouth. "That's pretty...well...deep. I like it, Amber." He smiled at her and liked the sprinkled covered ice cream. He covered his mouth so he didn't laugh; her face was covered in ice cream. He couldn't stop it though and he coughed so he didn't hurt her feelings. "Sorry, frog in my throat."

she giggled and grabbed the napkin and wiped off all the ice cream "I wonder who got the idea for that frog thing?" her face went pale as the door opend to the shop it was her 'mother' or her friends at that she found her "help" she squeaked as her 'mother' stalked over to the table.

Shun looked confused but kept eating his ice cream. How was he supposed to help? The woman reached for Amber, grabbing her arm.
"Why have you run off, Amber?" She asked, her voice ice and eyes fire. Shun felt anger stir but shoved it down and stayed calm.
"I'm sorry ma'am, is there a problem?" Shun asked smoothly. The woman glared at him.
"This is none of your buisness, young man!" She said, turning back to Amber. "Now why did you run off?!"
"I truely am sorry ma'am, if she worried you. I asked her to meet me here." Shun had never lied so quickly or smoothly since they left his 'father.' "May I ask who you are?"

"I said come on your going home and into the room." she went pale "please! Please no!"

"Ma'am, don't treat her like that." Shun let the anger flow, trying not to unsheath the knives hidden in his jacket sleeves. "That girl you have there is one of a kind. Don't hurt her."
Shun remembered the pain of a parent hurting him. The memories came rolling back, stunning him. They were so vivid, so...Shun's jaw was set and he grabbed the woman's arm, firm but gentle.
"I won't allow you to hurt her. If you're going to hurt anyone, hurt me. But she did nothing wrong. As I said before, she only came because I asked her to.

"well then" she pushed Amber towards him "I wont hurt her but I dont want the little brat" she hissed and turned away "but I-" Amber tried to speak but she was slapped acrossed the face "shut it what I said I mean! you can get your stuff later but you are NOT staying and you can thank your little friend for that." she snickerd and left the building "I'm sorry you had to see that." Amber whisperd as she fell back into the booth tears streaming down her cheeks.

"Oh jeez, I'm sorry...I got a little protective." Shun said, sliding in the booth with her. He tentively put his arm around Amber, letting her cry into him. "I'm so sorry."
They sat there for a few moments then Shun broke the awkward silence. "If you need to, you could probably stay with me and my mom. She'd love to have another girl in the house."

"what?" she looked up a little shocked "I dont want to burden you guys" she said looking down "I usually cause people to become like my friends family but I have no idea how." she sighed thinking about how her life used to be "but only if your mom thinks its okay" she said looking up at him smiling, "I want her opinion first"

"Of course, but I don't see how you can make anybody as cruel as that. It's not your fault, Amber." Shun smiled and stood, offering her a hand. "Would you like to meet my mom? She should be home by now."
Shun felt his heart skip a beat, his mother would say yes. She would be thrilled to have another female in the house. She never said anything, but she had always wanted a girl in the house.

Shun smiled and pulled her out of the booth. "Don't worry, Amber. You'll be fine. She'll love you. I promise." He didn't know if she knew how solid his promises always were. Without letting go of her hand, he pulled her to the bus stop. "Don't worry about a thing."
