Sun Oct 28, 2012 12:26:08 PMOkinawa Island is home to roughly 1,384,762 people. But, approximately 40 miles off the coast of Ginoza is another island. This island is unknown to a majority of people of Okinawa. Of most of the world, actually. It is known as Saishō Island. Here, there are only 100 or so inhabitants. It’s a peaceful and typically quiet place, that even has its own small school – as over half of the population is composed of children and teenagers. People assume this is the island where kids have run away. Where some of them have washed up after being lost in the waters. Because only 20 adults are seen on Saishō Island. Yet, it’s still a calming place to live. Especially seeing as it is quite environmentally friendly. No cars. Constant recycling. No smoking. No drugs. No alcohol. The people of Saishō Island like to keep things quiet and safe. And wish to keep this beautiful island a constantly breathtaking sight.
But I think that is enough about the island. We should get moving onto the story. . .

Yoshito Tsutomu makes his way across the yard. The surrounding foliage forms a natural canopy, which casts a cooling shadow. A smile forms on his face as his bare feet sink into the lush grass, and then move onto something else. Sand. Yoshito was glad that his parents had decided to make their home at the edge of Saishō Island. Not only that, but his small house is also distanced from all other homes. He has his own space. A secluded area all to himself. Literally to himself. At the age of 16, Yoshito lives alone. He is one of the few who doesn’t have sibling. He was born in Tokyo, where his father left when Yoshito was 8, and his mother died four years later. She had always been ill, and his father had always been a psychotic drunkard. So he knew that the time would come when they’d both no longer be part of his life. Though, he still wishes that the time wouldn’t have come so soon.
With a barely audible sigh, Yoshito sits down on the beach. He stretches his legs out in front of himself, and lets his calves rest in the perfectly clear waters. In his hand is a silver necklace. Something his mother had given him before she passed away. Yoshito holds the object in front of his face, and watches the cracked scallop shell, that hangs off it, rotate. A gentle breeze causes the necklace to sway to the left, and Yoshito's eyes follow as it slowly settles back into place. He felt like there was a story behind this shell. Did his mother find it? Possibly it was a gift from his father to his mother? A piece of jewelry that has been passed down for generations?
Releasing another quiet sigh, Yoshito drops the necklace to his side and sprawls himself out on the beach. He then proceeds to close his eyes, and lets the warmth of the evening sun welcome him to sleep.

“Hey. You should wake up now sleepy head~”
The soothing female voice rings through Yoshito’s head. His eyes sluggishly open, and hovering right over him is a girl. She wears a playful smile on her face, causing Yoshito to arch a questioning brow. Lethargically, Yoshito forces himself to sit up. He shakes sand out of his hair, and then gives a big yawn. The girl twirls before plopping down beside him. Her skin seemed to feintly glow against the sunset.
“Tinbe. . . what are you doing here?” Yoshito groggily wonders aloud. He could hear her giggle at his sleepy drawling.
“I was coming to check on you. I mean, you weren’t in school today.” Tinbe replies, rocking back and forth as she sits at his side. She then stops these movements, and looks at him. “Are you sick?”
“No. I just wasn’t in the mood for school today. I had better things to do.” Yoshito shrugs in response.
“Yeah, whatever.” Tinbe rolls her eyes before laughing. “Just don’t skip again.”
“Okay, mom.” Yoshito sighs, running a hand through his hair. He could feel the sand. But, it didn’t bother him. He has a tendency to sleep on the beach.
Tinbe puffs her cheeks out and furrows her brows. “Don’t call me mom! I’m just trying to be a good friend!”
“Alright, alright.” Yoshito chuckles. He then gets to his feet and watches as Tinbe also rises. She is shorter than him. Most people are. Yoshito is one of the tallest inhabitants of the island, standing at 6’03”.
Tinbe turns her head to the side, and then a grin forms her face. She waves at the distant figure. Yoshito then decides to look, and sees that Tinbe’s best friend is standing on the nearby hill. Nyoko Katsushika. She is #1 student of Saishō High School, in both athletics and academics. She is a very noble girl, someone who would have made an excellent samurai. Well, that’s the way Yoshito always thought of her. Nyoko is quick to make new friends, but can just as easily find enemies. Jealousy is usually the center of dislike towards her. She never let it bother her, though. As Nyoko puts it: “You can’t go on through life with only friends. There has to be an enemy or ten along the way. Otherwise you’re not actually living.”
“Tinbe! Come on! We have to get going!” Nyoko calls out.
“I’ll see you tomorrow at school Yoshito-kun~” Tinbe chimes before running off, and to Nyoko.
Yoshito stands where he is, and watches as Tinbe turns to look back at him. She waves, and he returns it with a blank face. Then, the two girls walk away together.
He then bends down and picks the necklace off the ground. With yet another sigh, Yoshito makes his way into his house.

Yoshito remains frozen. Then, he begins to open his eyes. At first, his vision is blurred. Then, the world comes into focus. And Yoshito stares. His eyes slowly widen at what he sees. This couldn’t be real. All of this. The storm. Nearly dying. And this very moment.
He is standing in a large bubble translucent bubble. Yoshito looks in every direction, his heart racing. Clearly, he was still under the water. But, no longer was it obscure and gloomy. Once more, the sea had returned to its vivid form. Yoshito’s eyes trail from left to right, following the fish that dart by. But, Yoshito’s attention returns to in front of him. . . where someone stands before him. A girl. Beautiful. Almost as breathtaking as drowning had been.
His face instantly shades red as he notices something. She isn’t wearing anything. But, her smile was something that moves his attention back to her face. Yoshito’s eyes then skim down to gaze at the object she holds in her palm. The necklace. . .
Yoshito could feel the tears brim his eyes. He didn’t know why. There seemed to be no reasoning behind the waterworks. But a single tear manages to escape, and slides down his cheek, as he looks at the scallop shell. A piece chipped off it from his previous fit of rage. That guilt from earlier suddenly washes over him, and Yoshito could feel his stomach churn. He had been no better than his father. . .
He could feel a soft and warming hand touch the side of his face. A thumb wipe away the lone tear.
Then, a wonderful voice.
“I am Shionami Suteki. And I am your Kōken'nin~”
