"Where are you from, Kaizo. Sam said you were new in school." Mom asked.

by **Shadoe Mayari** Wed Jun 13, 2012 12:19 am

"Oh, um, Tulsa. Oklahoma," Kaizo lied. He had already planned out what he was going to say whenever anyone asked general questions like that.

"You came a long way. Are your parents in the military or something?" She asked.

by **Shadoe Mayari** Wed Jun 13, 2012 9:21 pm

Kaizo nodded. "Something like that."

by **Rose Hathaway** Wed Jun 13, 2012 9:35 pm

"My granddad was in the military." Sam piped in. "He made me clean his house every time I visited his house."

by **Shadoe Mayari** Wed Jun 13, 2012 9:44 pm

"Hm...I see," Kaizo said.

by **Rose Hathaway** Wed Jun 13, 2012 10:02 pm

It quickly fell into awkward silence as Sam ran out of things to say, and Sam's Mom didn't know how to make the boy talk either.

by **Shadoe Mayari** Wed Jun 13, 2012 10:33 pm

Kaizo didn't even try to start a conversation. He didn't really like talking, anyway.

It was awkward for the rest of the meal. Sam cleared her dishes and Kaizo's from the table and cleaned up any remaining mess. "Sorry... OCD issues... " she laughed nervously.

by **Shadoe Mayari** Wed Jun 13, 2012 10:54 pm

Kaizo chuckled. "Nah, 's okay."

by **Rose Hathaway** Wed Jun 13, 2012 11:15 pm

"Even Mom doesn't touch anything I own. I do my own laundry because of my issues." Sam laughed again.

by **Shadoe Mayari** Thu Jun 14, 2012 2:02 pm

Kaizo simply smiled.

by **Rose Hathaway** Thu Jun 14, 2012 2:05 pm

"Do you have weird issues too?" She asked him.

by **Shadoe Mayari** Thu Jun 14, 2012 2:17 pm

Kaizo shrugged. "None that I'm really aware of."

by **Rose Hathaway** Thu Jun 14, 2012 4:59 pm

"Then I guess you should stick around so I can point them out and laugh." Sam smiled mischievously.

by **Shadoe Mayari** Thu Jun 14, 2012 5:02 pm

"Ah...no thanks."

by **Rose Hathaway** Thu Jun 14, 2012 5:09 pm

"Does this mean I'm not going to see you again?" She said quietly, almost sadly.

by **Shadoe Mayari** Thu Jun 14, 2012 5:15 pm

Kaizo shrugged. "Maybe, maybe not. I'll still be here in town for a while, but I'll be moving around a lot."

by **Rose Hathaway** Thu Jun 14, 2012 5:27 pm

"Then I should come with you."

by **Shadoe Mayari** Thu Jun 14, 2012 5:40 pm

Kaizo frowned. "No. It's too dangerous, and I don't want to be constantly looking out for you."

by **Rose Hathaway** Thu Jun 14, 2012 6:17 pm

"Too bad. I'm involved." Sam smiled.

by **Shadoe Mayari** Thu Jun 14, 2012 6:25 pm

Kaizo sighed. "Tell your mom I said thanks," he said, standing up. "I'll be on my way."

by **Rose Hathaway** Thu Jun 14, 2012 6:29 pm

"Do you have a place to sleep?" She asked, concerned and sad.

by **Shadoe Mayari** Thu Jun 14, 2012 6:32 pm

"Of course I do!" Kaizo said. He was now over by the front door. "Don't worry about me."

by **Rose Hathaway** Thu Jun 14, 2012 6:53 pm

"Please don't go. You're the most interesting that's happened to me in my life." She said quietly.
