“You were everything I never knew I was looking for.”

Thinking back I should have known how it would have ended. I should have foreseen the love of my life being dragged boldly away from me. Yet as I stood there, a stern hand upon my shoulder, I couldn't help but feel helpless. Cursing the very fate we had brought upon our own heads.

“Mr. Karishima Kino.”



“Kino?”
I have just arrived to London from India. It was a move I had be planning with my friend who lived there. True that I had only spoken to this person through a multitude of letters but this man had my absolute trust, after all we had spoken of everything to one another.
“Leon?” Ecstatic I turned towards the sound of the voice. I froze with a start, apparently we haven’t spoken of everything.
Before me stood a very strange sight. A very tall blond woman stood there. She had bright green eyes and soft pink lips. Yet instead of a traditional dress I’ve come to learn typical British women wore, she wore a finely tailored suit of black. And, I had to admit, it fit her very nicely.
The woman, who apparently was my good friend Leon, didn't even bat an eye at my shock. Instead she merely tilted her head and said “You might want to pick your jaw off the ground,” Her lips pulled up in a smirk “That is not very sanitary.”
A grin of my own worked it's way across my face. “It great to finally meet you!” I gushed “Your not what I imagined though” I finished lamely.
Leon merely shook her, no his, head. “Honestly I expected you to react a lot worse.”
That got my attention “worse?” I inquired picking up my belongings “how badly did you think I would react?”
My friend grasped one of my bags, to which I said a quiet thank you, and herded me to an awaiting carriage. Placing my bags onto the top of the thing he turned to me with a shimmer of humor in his eye “Truthfully I expected you to hop right back on the ship to take you back to India.”
A laughed forced its way past my lips. Leon full on grinned at that.
“wouldn't that have been a sight,” I guffawed stepping into the carriage “A Indian man leaping boldly onto a departing ship heading anywhere.” I sat down on the seat chuckling as Leon entered the carrage signaling for the drier to set off.
The blond chuckled softly as he took his seat across from me “Now I kind of wish you would have just to have seen the look on peoples faces.”
I burst into a new fit of laughter.
