Growing up on Sato Island

[Akura]

Takara cursed again, trying to get his dress-robes to look right, without being too uncomfortable. He had grown out of it fast, since he'd been forced to wear it to a family friend's wedding.

Satisfied, he checked his watch again, making sure he wasn't late for this. This was more important than school or dentist appointments, this was special to him.

Kimura spoke from the doorway, leaning against it casually in his formal attire,

"You look fantastic kid" he smiled, "You going to be alright on your own tonight?"

"Yeah, I got it Kim" Takara responded, finishing up, "It's going to be great"

"I told your mother you'd be home by ten, but we won't even be coming home at all tonight" Kimura winked, leaving Takara alone and puzzled.

This was good news, he could stay out all night! He pumped his arm and excitedly rushed his wasy down the stairs and out the front door.
It would be a ten minute walk to Jenny's house anyway, he was making good time.

As he arrived at the peak of the hill by his house, he stopped to look across at Walcott Manor in the distance, hidden behind a curtain of trees, a warm glow emitting from the area.
This was the home of Arthur Walcott, the man who planned to evict them from their own house.

Takara pushed it out of his mind, continuing his path down the other side of the hill towards Jenny's house. He straightened his robes a little and knocked lightly on the door. A few moments later it swung open and a nice Bretonian girl stood infront of him.

This was Jenny, her beautiful red dress complimenting her deep Hazel eyes. She looked stunning, and Takara's mind had to scream at him to move and kiss her on the cheek.
She chuckled and hugged him tightly, taking him by surprise.

"Glad you're on time for once" she laughed, her thick Bretonian accent clear in her words,

"Well this is something I actually care about" he smiled weakly,

Jenny squealed, shoving him playfully,

"Come on, let's go before we miss the fireworks" she suggested, stepping out and closing the door behind her.
