12:00 A.M.
Alleyway
Sojiro had an uneasy feeling when he awoke. Though his sword was with him, he still felt a little afraid. His best friend had just been torn away from his arms. He had no idea where he was either. He looked around him. To his right, there was a dead end. The walls that surrounded him looked unfamiliar. He felt them. Then he realized he was looking at brick. "American style buildings." He had seen them when the americans landed on Hokkaido, they built them there to show the Japanese they're style of buildings. Sojiro looked to his left. An opening out of the alleyway led to an open road. Sojiro saw a pile of newspapers across from him. As he goes to pick on up, he tries to stand, but falls back to the earth. His legs are still a little wobbly from when he ran from the creature. He waited a few minutes, then tried to stand again. he felt better. He made his way to the pile of papers, then picked one up. He read the headline aloud.
"NEW YORK RECIEVES NEW MAYOR!"
Sojiro reads it again. He quickly drops the paper and backs up. He had just spoken english. How could he? He had never spoken a word of english in his life.
Sojiro grabbed his sword and started to walk out of the alleyway. He was still puzzled as to why he could speak english. As he steps out of the alley, he notices people walking around. But also there is a road after the people. Why wouldn't they walk on that side of the road too? Sojiro steps off the curb and into the road.
Sojiro is shocked when he hears a Roaring sound coming from his left. He turns and gasps when he sees a huge dragon barreling towards him. The dragon's yellow eyes peer directly at Sojiro. Sojiro doesn't know what to do. Instinct saves Sojiro's life. At the last second, Sojiro summons all of his strength and jumps over the speeding dragon. He did not fully clear the dragon though, as his leg smashes against one of the dragons scales. Pain shoots throughout Sojiro's entire body. He falls on the ground as the dragon speeds away. Another dragon is coming right at Sojiro. More noise is coming from this dragon though. Different roars exit the speeding dragons body. As the dragon comes closer, Sojiro closes his eyes ready for pain. Nothing... Sojiro opens his eyes. The dragon is staring Sojiro full on in the face. Sojiro sees someone come from behind the dragon. It was a man, his skin black. Sojiro had never seen a man like this. The man stands in front of Sojiro. "Yo, man are you freakin' insane, man! You just cleared a F~!@#ing car, dog. You some kinda' spiderman or somethin'? Damn, you cleared that
motherf!#@er!"
Sojiro stared at the man like he was crazy. "Did you just call me a dog?" Sojiro felt his anger rise. The man looked at Sojiro seriously. "Dog, are you on crack, man? Are you high? Look at what you just did!" Sojiro turned and saw the dragon sitting on the other side of the road. Actually now that he was looking, there were a lot of them. In fact they were all roaring, sounding very angry. Sojiro tried to stand, but pain shot up his leg again. "Aaaaarrrrgghh!" Sojiro yelled in pain. The black man looked worried. "Aw s**t man! You broke your a** doin' that crazy s**t, huh. You some kinda' dumbass aren't you!" Sojiro began to grow tired of this man's insults. The man picked Sojiro up and moved him toward the sidewalk. The black man gently laid Sojiro down. A small crowd began to form over Sojiro. The black man grew angry. "Yo, give the guy some room! Damn!"
The crowd backed up a little bit. Out of the corner of his eye, Sojiro saw a girl run towards him. For a split second, he thought it looked like Sakura. But this girl didn't have brown hair, it was black.
"Joe, why are you bothering these people? I told you about doing these stunts didn't I?" Sojiro became more confused every second. This girl called him 'Joe' But she didn't even know him. The girl came towards him and helped him up. She put his arm over his shoulder. "Its okay. I'll take care of him now. You people do what you were doing." The black man got back into his car. "Okay now little tarzan, you be careful aight? If you need me, go to the downtown races and ask for Marcus. Then i'll help ya out if you need anything, Aight?"
Sojiro summoned up all he could say at that point. "Sure."
Sojiro and the girl began to walk away. Sojiro decided now it was time for some answers. "Why did you act like you knew me?" She pointed at his sword. "You would of had a hard time explaining that one." Sojiro got that part. "Okay, whats your name?" She replied with "Ryoko". Sojiro was starting to feel that he could trust this girl. "Well, where are you taking me?" She stopped and looked at him.
"My house, your leg isn't going to heal, if you don't rest."
Sojiro leaned his head back. "This is going to be a hell of a day."
