Chapter
Three: Leon and Melissa
Leon breathed a
sigh of relief. His father was not angry; in fact he was the exact opposite.
Leon’s father Vincent Somerset had agreed to speak to Leon about what they
could do for the empire. Together they would think of a plan that would change
the world. And together they would carry out that plan.
The plain silver cell phone in
Leon’s hand started vibrating. It was a text message from a girl very special
to Leon, Melissa Hayashi.
The text message read: “Hey when
will you come and visit me?”
-M
Melissa had always been very neat
and orderly in everything she did. If it wasn’t for Melissa, Leon would have
never become the polite young man he now was. Melissa had practically raised
him. After Leon’s mother gave birth to him, she became bedridden with a
mysterious illness, and his father worked hard in the imperial palace, living
his days there. Leon had no one to look up to, until that one fated day the two
children met.
OOOO
It was a clear sunny day, and a
small warm breeze blew across the yard of the Somerset manor. The large manor
stood above the fields of Azurness, a place full of fertile and rich soil,
great for farming. The manor was made of red and brown brick and contained a
large steel gate along with a stone water fountain. And at this fountain a
striking scene was playing.
Four kids stood around the
fountain, one of them appeared to be a girl with short pink hair and sapphire
blue eyes. She wore a light blue summer dress, along with simple white sandals
that had a flower design near her toes. The rest of the kids were boys who
looked to be around eleven or twelve years old. The oldest looking boy, and the
one who seemed to be in charge, continued to torment the girl by insulting her.
“Heh, I heard your parents aren’t
that rich! Is that why you sell flowers? Cuz they look like crap!” The boy said
while smiling, the boys behind him laughed. Tears started to form in the girl’s
eyes, sapphire colored tears to be exact. “See you’re nothing but a freak! No
human would cry tears like that!” The boy chuckled, he was a lot shorter than
the girl, but he thought he was tough apparently.
“Hey! Why don’t you pick on
someone your own size?!” A voice called from behind the fountain.
“What was that?! If you think
you’re so tough then show yourself!” The oldest boy yelled out. The other boys
also yelled out random insults that mostly backed up the leader of the group.
There was nothing but silence from behind the fountain for almost a full
minute, until a young boy who seemed to be about ten years of age sprung out
from behind the fountain.
“Stop making fun of this girl!
What gives you the right to do this?!” The boy had messy medium long silver
hair and gold shiny eyes. He also wore a black colored suit that mirrored his
family’s social status, but the boy’s face was full of sweat, as if he was
scared of facing his new enemies. Despite this fact, he stood lean and tall,
his right fist extended outward toward the group of boys.
The leader of the group laughed so
hard that tears formed in his own eyes, and his low cronies backed him up. “And
what are you going to do about it? Pinch me?” The boy let out another loud
laugh. However a few of the boys in the group looked nervous, as if they
finally realized who the boy in front of them really was.
The boy who looked to be second in
command spoke up nervously. “W-Wait! Aren’t you Leon S-Somerset?! Son of Dallas
Somerset? Let’s get out of here! This kid could have use arrested this very
second!” As the boy ran off in fear, so did the rest of the group, only leaving
the bewildered leader behind.
Leon smiled smugly. “Well?”
“Humph! This won’t happen again!
From now on you and I are rivals! I’m Shinji Inoue! And you better remember
that name!” The boy yelled this as he made a thumbs down motion with his hand,
then ran off to catch up with his gang.
“Hey are you okay? I’m glad I
could chase those boys away.” Leon said as he approached the shy pink haired
girl. He held out his hand for the girl to shake. “Hey, I’m Leon, Leon
Somerset. Though you’ve probably heard of me… haha.” After saying this, Leon smiled
widely and put his other hand on the back of his head.
“I-I’m Orion Hayashi… Thanks for
saving me.” The girl looked down at her feet and blushed. She spoke really
softly and it warmed Leon’s heart a little. He felt himself getting attracted
to this girl, she was unbelievably cute too
