T U R Q U O I S E P O L I C E M A N

It was right before the train arrives in front of our platform. Carrying our heavy luggage and holding onto my little brother's palm to keep at safe range from dangerous moments. I fish out my smartphone and begin to attempt to text my friends.

It's really unusual for my parents to change their mind like that. It feels a bit odd.

One of my best friends replies to my concern.

Maybe they have a reason behind, they just don't want to tell you.

I type back.

Which is what I am concerned about. They always tell me everything before they do anything.

Well, sweetie, there is nothing we can do about it. Its their choice and we don't have the power to change it. It's better to let it go. I know this is upsetting, but we can always hang out sometime.

Thanks guys. My service is getting low. The train already arrived. I'll text you guys later once I got into our new home.

Be careful there (F/n), there has been ongoing news about stalkers roaming around late at night.

Wow what a way to cheer on a friend. But thanks.

Wednesday, the worst day that I could ever encounter. The day when Kai and I were suddenly going to be transferring to another school for no reason provided. Right after I attempt to slip my phone into my pockets I grab onto Kai’s little hands and dragged our luggages into the train that will take us to Tokyo.

Kai jumps over the gap between the platform and the train and dashes to take a seat in front of the windows. Unluckily, that chance was taken when we notice the train was packed with people making it difficult for the both of us to fit.

I sighed and pushed our way through the sea of crampness. The door closes and the train runs off to its start, transferring us to Tokyo. But the only problem was that the space was so cramped, that Kai can barely stand in place.

“Onee-chan... Do we really have to move to Tokyo? I like living in our old home...” Kai complained, I respond to his soft whines, “I know, but we have no choice but to go. Mom and Dad wanted us to live in Tokyo.”

“They never called us... Why would they say we have to go to Tokyo?”

“I don’t know. But if they come back, we will ask them okay?”

“mm...” The situation still crowded with people, pushing and pulling along with the sudden movement of the train sliding and bumping over tracks. As few minutes passed by, the urge started to linger in my stomach. I rotate around to find any available seats to occupy.

Man... Are there any available seats?... I really need to use to the restroom.

“Ah, there is a seat for us.” I dragged Kai with me to the seat available and pulling our luggages to the same spot. As we arrive at the seating, my urge desperately sends chills in my body, wanting to escape for ease. Kai looks into me, “(F/n), do you need to go wee-wee?”

I whisper in his ears, “Do you want to go wee-wee too?” He shook his head in reply, “No, its okay. I’ll stay here and watch the stuff.”

“You can come with me Kai.” Kai continues to decline my offer and smiles, “I’m a big boy, I can watch them (F/n), you need to go wee-wee...”

“Don’t talk to strangers okay?” I left his range and head myself to the restroom with difficulty. Coming and stopping at every second trying to pass through individuals. I am across the ending point and was finally able to get into the restroom. I let myself inside of the restroom to take a moment.

After finishing my moment, as soon as I exit out of the room, the unexpected occurred. It was crowded inside of one cart, when I closed the door shut, a sudden grasp groping my ass causing my nerves to jump.

A molester caught me and whispers into my ears as he continues to grope my cheeks. He leans forward only to deliver is alcoholic breathe, cringing to the stench for the whole moment. He blankets my mouth to prevent my lips to scream for rescue.

He whispers, “Young lady, you sure have a nice body. Keep your mouth shut and entertain me.” He said in a perverted tone. That is when I decided to take action.

The worse scenario came when the molester decided to slip his fingers into my jeans; slowly he pulls it down along with my underwear. I furrow my brows, nod myself down and begin to attempt to headbutt.

“Guh!” He grunts in a soft tone. His nose bled and roughly pulls me back into the same position. I elbowed him in the stomach, then his feet, but in the end, all didn’t effect him because of his obese stature.

“Unhand me you damn obese perv--” My words were interrupt at the moment when someone came in to forcefully pull the man by the collar. The savior twists the molesters wrist and weigh him down to the floor.

A man older than myself approaching with turquoise hair and reflective ocean blue eyes wearing a thin chain necklace and fur jacket. His eyes were the first that caught my attention so I lost focus to what’s happening.

“You’re under arrest for s****l harassment!” As soon as the turquoise male weighs the molester down, the molester himself was able to unfold the male’s cuffing hands to trigger a messy punch. Luckily, the male narrowly dodges the punch and counters with an elbow strike.

“Aggh!” The molester pulls back to hold the pain in his nose. The male once again kicks down the molester and finally handcuffs his arms behind his back on the stop while I was standing there frozen still watching as the scenario concludes successfully.

When the scenario closes, I unfroze myself and bow continually to express gratitude.

“Thank you very much for saving me, but I would’ve won the fight if you weren’t there. But thanks anyway.”

“Well, if I wasn’t here, the molester would’ve continued his nasty intentions upon you. What could’ve been worse is that he can cause a threat to the people on board. Like...” The male kneels down to scoop up a sharp object from his pocket, revealing a pocket knife.

“This for an example...” I gulped to the sight of the knife’s sharp edge, “Would you still be able to win the fight with this in his hands?” He smirked.

I shook to his question, “N-no...”

“Luckily I came on board because I was just heading home... But I have to say that you did put up a ‘good’ fight before I came in.” The male complimented, “Threats like this is a common thing that happen these days. Everyday with women harassed, especially with young males.”

I cringed to his wording, “Ugh...That happens too?”

The moment I thanked the savior, a high pitched voice came in sprinting calling out my name. Approaching Kai running and gesticulating his little arms back and forth expressing a worried expression upon his face.

“(F/n)! I heard you scream! Are you okay?” I kneel to his approach and reassured him that I am in good shape; just a little grope in the cheeks. As I tell him ‘I was alright’, his glance travels to the turquoise hair male and furrows his brows.

“Are you the one who hurt (F/n)?! I WILL BEAT YOU TO THE PULP!” Kai comes to the turquoise hair male and kicks his shin with all his might. The man didn’t even attempt to take his glance over at the small child.

I pulled him back, “Kai! Stop that’s enough!”

“Listen kid, I am not the bad guy here, the bad guy is apparently in the grasp of my hands.” The man points the revealing truth by roughly pulling the molester close to his range. Kai takes a look and realizes he misunderstood the situation. After realizing his mistake, he quickly bows as a deep apology and walks behind my legs to conceal his guilt. Tears begins to slowly stream over his lids.

“I thought (F/n) got hurt...I am sorry.” Kai whimpers.

“I’m fine. I thought I told you that pointing fingers is bad manners. You’re a big boy, you should know that. Stop crying now, we are almost there to Tokyo.” Kai inhales lungfuls of air and tightens his face preventing tears from strolling over his cheeks.

“I’m not crying...”

As minutes passes by, the train finally stops at the destination. The turquoise-haired male walks out of the train with the molester at hand while Kai and I follows his tracks.

He pulls out his cell and dials the number.

“This is the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, how may I help you?”

“It’s me, pick me up at the Tokyo Station. And I also caught a molester with me.”

“Understood Yamamoto-san. We will be right there.”

He ends his call and waits for his van to drive to his location. As he awaits for the vans arrival, I was standing behind him still and awkwardly staring behind his neck with Kai in my grasp.

He turns around and shifts a brow.

"Aren't you suppose to go somewhere, like a vacation?" He questions.

I quirk a brow and fidget my toes, "Well... I wouldn't say we are on a vacation, but... We are actually moving in. And...."

"And?..."

"We have no idea where we are going, even with this map. Its quite complicating." I answered to the male.

"Moving to your new home? Where are your parents?"

Instead of me answering to his curiosity, Kai blurted impolitely to him.

"Don't mention about our parents! They abandoned us because of their business overseas! They never cared about us since the beginning, they wouldn't even call us...Mom and Dad had been out for three months and we are still waiting for them to come back and say 'We're home!' "

"K-Kai...That's enough. I am terribly sorry about my little brother's impolite behavior. But what he said is true..."I lamented, not to attempt to make eye contact with the male's eyes.

"Sorry I ask..." He apologizes.

"Haha, without our notice, we suddenly have been notified that we will be transferring to our new school starting tomorrow morning... We even have no information about what school we will be transferring to."

"Its not much, but I will help you get to your new home. I know Tokyo very well so I should be of help. After I send this guy to jail."

The three of us arrived to Tokyo finally and excused ourselves out of the range of the station.

As I wait outside of the station, I hear loud sirens coming my way. The police van arrives in front of our footsteps.

Taking my first step to Tokyo is like entering into the stampede. The place filled with people walking from side to side, my eyes trembled with anxiety, drowning in the feeling of being lost within, "Wow, so much people. I never knew Tokyo was this busy."

"Hurry up and get in, you two. We don't have all day. I have to send this molester to the police department. Hurry up! On you feet." The male forces the molester to stand on his feet.

"Shut up! I can hear you, you dumbass!"

That is when I suddenly became curious about his identity, so out of nowhere I ask him about his name.

"Ummm, who are you exactly?"

"Huh? Name's Yamamoto Mizuki, and I live as a police from the Tokyo Metropolitan Department."

"Mizuki, huh? Same name as my best friend back in my old school."

Kai and I entered inside of the van to the middle seat along with Mizuki while the prisoner sits behind the wall safely imprisoned with handcuffs caging his hands.

Mizuki was finally able to send the molester to jail with his report at hand as Kai and I waited outside for him to come out. He walks out and escorts the two of us to the destination while holding the map I handed to him.

"Oh? You live near my house."

"Really? To be honest, I am happy to have you as our first friend, if you don't mind."

"Friends? I have no time to make friend, they will just get in my way." Mizuki said rudely, not taking his eyes away from the map.

My facial expression falls to disappointment and I crossed my arms.

"Well then...Some friend I made in Tokyo..."

Ten minutes passed and our house is now standing in front of our figures. Our new home wasn't that bad at all, it sits as the center of the neighborhood. Painted in both brown and white with a backyard. I may be perfect but I still miss my old home where our family lives.

"So, this is our...new home, huh? Feels different than usual."

"Mmm...(F/n), I want to go back home. I miss my friends."

"Please Kai... Please understand, just once. We are moving in, meaning that we will never return to our old home again. We will be living here for now."

"B-but..."

"No buts Kai... I also miss our old home, but this is our parents choice, not ours. We can't change anything here."

Mizuki inhales and spoke, "Okay, this where we will part. My part is just eight blocks away to your right. If you have any questions or concerns come anytime or call 119 if its an emergency", He excuses himself and heads back to his household walking. His back gets smaller into the distance and turns my attention to the house itself. I reached into my pocket and picked up the house key.

The sound of the doorknob creaks open to reveal cleanliness and wide space and furniture. Kai walks into the house and runs upstairs and sees that the rooms are apparently HUGE! Spacious enough to put everything in.

"(F/n)! The rooms are humongous!"

I sighed, "Well hello Tokyo... And hello to our stacks of work that needs to be done before heading to school tomorrow morning.... I wonder how my new life will turn out?"
