A convoy of horses and carriages are passing through a dense forest of trees with no forms of wildlife in sight. After sometime the convoy makes a stop outside of what appears to be a massive wall composed of stone and various metals. Dressed in all white, one by one children began to step out of the carriages. With each one looking slightly older than the last. Out of all the children, one of them stands out the most. A little girl with fiery red hair and eyes, and skin that would remind you of a fine milk chocolate. Unlike the other kids, she’s not crying or scared. But instead she’s smiling as if she has no care in the world.
Plantation Master: “OK listen up! You can address me as master. Welcome to Plantation Emerald. From now until you turn 18 this will be your home! We have three simple rules here at Plantation Emerald! 1. If you disobey, you die! 2. If you fight back, you die! 3. If you run away, you die! If you obey us, everything will work out just fine.”
Ryan: A little harsh don’t you think? “Don’t worry about him. My name is Ryan Rose and I am one of the nurses here at Emerald. Although it’s against the rules to hurt you all. Some of them are bound to break that rule. Therefore I cannot guarantee your safety. So it’ll be easier for all of us if you can just stay in line.”
Ryan: “Let’s get to business. All of you are to gather within the cafeteria. You will have a nice breakfast there. Then you'll be assigned your task for today. While we’re escorting you there, you are not to talk to any of the kids dressed in black.”
Plantation Master: “Let’s get moving!”
With the clap of his hands the gigantic doors begins to open. Little by little the interior starts to reveal itself. Large gold & silver colored buildings along with beautiful flowers and birds of different shapes, sizes, and colors started to appear before their childish eyes. As the children fixed their eyes on the wonderful landscape, they began to feel more comfortable. Once all the children were inside, the doors behind them started to close. The tailwind of the closing doors causes the air to be filled with the aroma of flowers that gives off a faint fruity scent.
From a distance, a little girl dressed in all black with ocean-blue hair and pasty white skin can be seen walking towards them with a stack of boxes almost two times her size. As the little girl walked past she was tripped by the Master, spilling all of the cans that were inside the boxes across the ground. He was testing them. To see if anyone was going to break the rules and help her up. And to his surprise, someone did.
???: "Hey are you OK?"
The blue-haired girl looks up to see none other than the same red-haired girl from earlier. She grabs her hand and uses it to pull herself up.
???: "I'll be fine."
Hinan: "That looked like it hurt. Are you sure you'll be fine?"
???: "Yeah. I'm used to that kind of stuff."
Hinan: "Just because you're used to it, that doesn't mean it can’t hurt."
The two of them begin to pick up the cans and neatly put them back in their respective boxes.
Hinan: "What is your name?"
???: "My name?”
Hinan: “Yeah. What do people call you?"
72101: “Oh. It’s 72101”
Hinan: "That’s not a name, those are just numbers."
72101: “But that’s what everyone calls me.”
Hinan: "Let's see..."
72101: ?
Hinan: Based off of my first impressions of her, she seems like a pushover. Her voice is also soft which means that she doesn’t talk much. She also hasn’t looked me in the eye, but I don’t get the impression that she dislikes me.
Hinan: “I got it.”
Hinan: “Kakusan.”
Kakusan: Visibly Confused "What?"
Hinan: "From now on I will call you Kakusan!"
Kakusan: I'm still confused "That’s cool...I guess." I don’t even know what that means.
Kakusan: “What about you?”
Hinan: "What about me?"
Kakusan: "What is your name?"
Hinan: "My name is Hinan Okami."
Kakusan reaches out her hand.
Kakusan: "It’s nice to meet you, Hinan."
Hinan: She grabs her hand and shakes it "It’s nice to meet you too, Kakusan."
Plantation Master: “What’s going on over here. I thought we told you not to speak to the ones dressed in black?”
Hinan: "You shouldn't have tripped her."
Plantation Master: “What did you just say?”
Her snarky remark made him agitated. He raises his fist and prepares to punch Hinan. Before his fist could connect he was grabbed by Ryan Rose.
Ryan: "You are not allowed to harm the kids."
The plantation's master angrily snatches his arm away.
Plantation Master: "I don't know who the fuck you think you are. But I'm the master of this plantation. If you don't want to be fed to the hounds, I advise you to back off."
Ryan: Sigh… "And that is why you should follow the rules. Your title means nothing if I report you to Lady Alucard."
He walks up to Ryan with anger plastered across his face.
Plantation Master: "Are you threatening me?
Ryan: "I'm just simply encouraging you to follow the rules."
Unable to think of a comeback, the Master decides to just walk away. In the meantime, Ryan introduces himself properly to the two little girls.
Ryan: “Hey are you two OK?”
Hinan: "Yeah. Thank you for helping us."
Ryan: “No problem. You should be more careful. Next time I probably won't be there to help you."
Ryan: "But if you don't mind, may I have the pleasure of knowing your names?”
Hinan: “My name is Hinan.”
Ryan: Weird but interesting. “What about you?”
Kakusan: “Uh...My name is K-K-Kakusan.”
Ryan: What kind of guardian would give their child a name like that? “Well my name is Ryan Rose. It’s nice to meet you two.”
Ryan: “You should go get something to eat before breakfast time is over. So please allow me to escort you there.”
Hinan: “OK. I’ll see you around Kakusan.”
Kakusan: "Wait"
Kakusan reaches over to kiss her on the cheek.
Hinan: "What was that for?"
Kakusan: "Talk to you later."
Kakusan picks up all of the boxes and leaves with a smile on her face.
