(⁠☆) Narumi Gen x Oc

(｡⁠*ﾟ⁠+ CHAPTER 1 +ﾟ⁠*｡⁠)

(⁠｡⁠•̀✧) FIRST POST IN A WHILE SO WHY NOT MAKE A SERIES??

13 years ago...

A 12 year old Hoshiko stands before a crowd of older boys unconscious on the floor and a boy her age in the center of the chaos.

"Hoy! Your all bruised up!" She yells cupping her hands around her mouth to emphasize her voice "What's it to you?!" The boy yells as he snaps his head in her direction with a scowl on his face which morphs into surprise as the girl walks towards him avoiding from stepping on the boys on the floor to grab the bruised boy's wrist. "Oi?!-" was all the boy could yell before he was being pulled and yelled at "I'm going to patch you up at my house! No complaining!" The girl exclaims.

Narumi, Hoshiko learns, hisses at the antiseptic she dabs on the boy's wounds. The boy was propped up on a counter, his head unfortunately forced by the girl to rest on her palm as he flinched away from the burn of it on his cuts. "You take punches but not betadine?" She laughs as she grabs a plaster to place on his face as she hears him huff in annoyance. "Aren't you that guy who aces all his classes but can't stay unsuspended for the life of him? We go to the same school." Hoshiko says gently placing the plaster on his face caressing it with her thumb to smooth it out. "Yeah, you done yet? If you are, I got a game to finish so-" Narumi was about to jump off the kitchen counter untill Hoshiko stopped him.

"Go to me when you get bruised up again." Hoshiko says sternly holding onto the boy's arm "Thank you so much, mitsuba-san" he says just as sternly until he yells out again "IS WHAT I WOULD SAY IF YOU DIDN'T NAG THE WHOLE TIME?! YOU'RE THE ONE WHO WANTED THIS AND YOUR THE ONE COMPLAININ'?" Narumi yells holding up his middle finger, in retaliation, she holds up her own and argues back "My conscience couldn't walk away when i saw you, okay!? I knew first aid anyway my mom taught me..."

Silence follows the outburst as Narumi scoffs "I don't care about you or your conscience if that's all that made you want to do this. It's just because you want to feel good about yourself..." He lowly says to the girl who's eyes widen at the anger and the twinge of sorrow in his words. "...I've always survived on my own no one has done me any good in this world anyway so leave me alone."

Narumi finally jumps off the counter top but was stopped at the front door yet again "You sure are stubborn." He says, an irk mark appearing on his cheek. "I get that a lot" Hoshiko smirks as she continues "Listen, you say the world hasn't done good for you right? Well let me be the first to give you good, come here whenever you like, let's be friends." The boy infront of her stares in shock and confusion 'Why the hell is this kid doing this..' "You have a wierd way of making friends you know that." The girl nods and moves out of the way of the door "I know, that's all I gotta say so your free to go." Narumi reaches for the doorknob and as he twists it Hoshiko speaks up again "I hope next time you come over it's not after you beat up more random guys alright?"

"Are you kidding me." Hoshiko was out in another one of her afternoon walks to see Narumi beating up another bunch of older boys. 'might as well lessen my job later' she thinks as she digs around in her pocket 'there you are...' she says grabbing her magic stick as she pulls the screw at the end and it extends and she goes to join in on the fight.

"You don't have to do this." Narumi says holding a guy by his hair as he watches Hoshiko hit another with the end of her stick "I don't learn bojutsu to just rot in the dojo you know." She huffs as the last of the group was on the floor to then turn to the boy she was with -

"Guess I'm going to be patching you up again, right?"

"Do whatever you want"

"You don't have to do this." Narumi says for the second time that day "But I want to" the boy who was sat yet again on her counter top furrows his eyebrows in frustration "You'll stop doing it eventually when you don't want to anymore." He says, the boy feels a slight pang in his chest at his comment "Nah I could get used to this I like patching you up now, you are my friend now, right?" Narumi stares at her as she smoothens the plaster on his cheek again with her thumb "You were serious about that?" And the girl hums as she began to clean up the mess she made.

"I better not catch you in a fight again, sheesh are you like a gangster or something? So many people have some sort of grudge on you. Its the weekend and all you've been up to is being ganged up on??" She says bewildered "Not my fault they don't mind their own business." The boy looks away his bangs covering his eyes Hoshiko then brightens up at the sight "I'll be right back!" She says before disappearing up the stairs leaving Narumi in the kitchen, from his position he can clearly see the living room so curiosity takes over him as he jumps off the counter to explore the room.

'Theres only older pictures of them together' Narumi thought as he stared at the family pictures on the wall 'they have a huge tv and a console too, might stay here a while then' crouching down to look at the console connected to the tv as he heard footsteps going down the stairs "Got you something!" Hoshiko says hiding an object in her hands as she descends the stairs "Look!" She stands beside Narumi to show him multiple clips shaped like stars "I am NOT wearing those." He glares at her as she laughs "Come on! It's to get your hair out of your face!" She whines as she tries to put it in his hair "No way! I like my hair like this!" He yells trying to push her hands away "Just this once!!"

The couch cushions were all over the living room, pictures were now hanging crookedly on the wall, coffee table not in the same position it was in before from the wrestling the two children did as Narumi sits with a scowl on his face as he plays with Hoshiko on her console with an assortment of different colored star clips in his hair "They look good on you" Hoshiko snickers without looking away from the screen "Shut up." The boy says as he glares at the tv in frustration "How are you so good at this!" he complains as the girl laughs "You're just ass at it thats why." she says beating Narumi in a match for the 3rd time "Forget it! I'm going home!" He says slamming the controller on the coffee table "No you aren't! You're helping me clean the mess we made!" The boy grows an irk mark at the girl's demand "Why should I clean?! You started it?!" He yells pointing a finger at the girl "You were the one who started throwing pillows!" She argues back.

"That was harder than I thought..." Hoshiko says looking at the living room they just cleaned "I would have been home by now fighting the final boss of my game." Narumi crosses his arms as he stands beside her "Well you're free to go home now." The girl says looking at the boy beside her as they walk to the door. "Did you have fun?" She says teasingly to Narumi's displeasure "...It was ok" he rolls his eyes and continues "Do I really have to keep these on?!" He says angrily and Hoshiko laughs at his frustration "Duh! I have loads of those things so its fine if you keep them." Narumi huffs out a breath and turns his back to the girl "Fine, I'm going home" he says as he walks away from the door raising his hand to wave "Bye! Get home safe!" The girl yells. On his way back to the orphanage Narumi feels a tingle in his chest 'The world is finally showing me some good huh?'

"A message to new and wannabe recruits!"

"The Team Justice guild has posted a new promotion to invite new aspiring adventurers to their guild, with a message from a veteran member, Juliet."

"Greetings! My name is Juliet Ludisia Luce, or you can just call me Juliet." The peach dog with round glasses giggles.

"And I've been a guild member in Team Justice for nearly four years now, and my story... isn't those that's expected. There are those who's born with a special ability, or those who are naturally gifted, or those who grew up in this rough world, conditioning themselves their whole life to be used to this and be expert explorers, but rarely do you see people who has no experience at all to have the guts to join an explorer guild, let alone expose themselves to danger. But, it's never zero, and I'm one of them."

"I grew up in a remote town, surrounded by forestry, and just had a normal childhood. Perhaps a bit reclusive due to my shy and introverted nature." She smiles awkwardly. "But nonetheless, I went to school and studied up until high school, before me and my father moved back to living in civilization."

"When we arrived here, at first I was just wondering around High Soul City, seeing what it has to offer. It may be a bit too busy than what I was used to, but I was still adjusting. At the time, I was also visiting college campuses I would be potentially interested to go one day."

"My life seemed pretty normal, right?"

"Well, not after I met someone who's a guild member here at Team Justice. We first met after an attack in the city park. It was scary at first since I had no idea what was going on and what to do, but luckily the guild was quick to respond and a member came in to save the day all on her own. She was none other than the guild's field leader and head councilor, Aires."

"We became friends after it, and when she told me about her occupation, something sparked in me. A desire that I had back then, that I can only experience through novels. Imagine through novels. The desire to explore the vast world and see what it has to offer." Her mood shifts in a more lively one. Saying each word as it motivates her. "What's good and what's bad about it, what's dangerous and what's worth protecting. Though stories would sugarcoat on this and imagine the many possibilities, I wanted to know the real thing. So I insisted in joining the guild, but...I wasn't prepared, nor aware of what's to come."

"Throwing yourself into danger without any experience of defending yourself isn't really the brightest idea, only a fool would think of coming out of it unscathed, but luckily my friend and now partner Aires has been with me, to protect me...but, it felt burdensome to just stay in the sidelines and try not to get killed while your partner is risking her life to get the job done." Her tone turns into a more sullen one. Feeling guilty of replaying old memories. "That's where I decided to prepare myself, develop skills I haven't had yet to be capable of doing harsh missions." But her energy rises up, refueling that fiery passion. "To be deserving of being in this guild in the first place. And with the help of the guild's training program, as well as providing many areas and facilities to train, I have learned so much to be who I am today."

"I was able to learn self-defense as well as bojutsu. Now, I can only rely on skills that I learned rather than what abilities I wish I could've had. The guild also trains you on strategizing as well as adapting you to specific situations such as fighting badniks, jumping through obstacles, escaping traps, and many others. So the guild doesn't help you develop physically but intellectually as well."

"Though at the time, I still had no purpose yet on why I joined here, admittedly. I only came here for the exploration but...I received something else each time. And yet, I also learn something new each time." Her tone shifts into a more serious one. "In the beginning when I couldn't defend myself, I learned that it's difficult to see someone get hurt because of me, so I trained myself how to be reliable, independent." She clenches a fist. "When I started having my Fangs state, I was so scared and upset about everything, upset about myself, upset about fate. Self-hatred. I started regretting this path I took but eventually, I learned to love something about myself that torn me," she gently raises the mood to a more hopeful one, "I managed to find control and focus. I learned how to turn a curse into a gift. And... I also learned more about my partner through that," her face softens, "understand her struggles hands-on. This field of work, and the challenges you face really makes you see more about yourself, and others."

"And with all of that, I feel like a different Juliet than who I used to be years ago. She...used to be reserved, and inexperienced, scared and regretful, a know-it-all but actually doesn't know anything at all. But now, the Juliet you see right now, it's the opposite of those. A better version of who Juliet was those years ago."

She scratches the back of her head, "Things still might be scary but I'm prepared now to find a solution." She offers her open hand upfront.

"And this, is where I found my answer, the purpose of why I came here. It's kind of on the nose" she chuckles a bit, "but-- I feel like it's the purpose I was born to live for."

"Justice."

"Time and time again, we get missions to help others who were wronged, avenge those who were affected in the chaos, argue on those who have ill intentions. I... didn't know I had this in me but...I want to protect those who couldn't protect themselves, I want outspeak those who only say such heartless words, I want...to give justice to people who couldn't protect themselves from evil!"

"The outside world is a harsh one, and it is uncertain how many heartless people exist. But...the least we can do is provide more goodness in the world, more heroes to protect others, and make it a much safer place to be in."

"Anyway, that's my goal atleast. And maybe it's yours too."

"Please, if you're someone who has no special abilities and thinks that you can't do a job like this, don't listen to those thoughts that restricts you and just do it! You'll learn, you'll be prepared, just like I did." She places her hands in her chest.

"And don't worry, you won't be alone in this either. Here in Team Justice, we require members to have atleast a partner or a team with them before being allowed to go to mission, and to also develop your cooperation skills. But in a more broader sense, the guild has got your back to support you in your own hero's journey."

"So, don't be afraid to step out, feel free to join the Team Justice guild! We're accepting new members anytime." She says the last remarks with her eyes smiling along her bright smile.

"Aaand CUT! Okay I think that's good." The director says as he press the screen of the camera to finish the recording. They are shooting in the technical recording room, that's full of light stands and screens in the corners and other kinds of equipment necessary for shooting media. There's one wall being covered by a big draped green wallpaper, while there's a white one on the other side of the room, where they're currently recording Juliet. Iyro, who's just besides the director and was there to monitor the progress, walks forward to Juliet who just stood up from her chair.

"Was that too much? Feel free to cut some of it if it's irrelevant." Juliet said, shyly.

"Nah, I think it's perfect!" Iyro pats her on the shoulder. "We might cut some of it for a shorter post, but I think the long one will definitely bring those who needs encouragement."

"Well...I do hope it can reach others who are like the old me too." Her face softens as she looks at the ground, her cheeks blushing a bit as she smiles. She softly clenches a fist near her chest.

"Hey, don't be so modest. We think you are the perfect ambassador for this campaign, and, we really thank you for accepting it!" Iyro said. "Seeing your progress throughout the years, how much hardwork you put in making yourself grow and for the guild, your story is definitely worth remembering." He continues.

"Th-Thank you very much, Iyro sir."

"And I'm not just saying that because your Aires' partner, alright. These days, I feel like you're becoming your own person, your own hero if you will."

"My own person?"

Iyro smiles, and kneels down, making her look down at her field leader instead. "Juliet, you're capable of so much more, you're getting there. Look at where you are now. You did this with nothing but your own will, your own desire to inspire others."

Juliet looks in awe, somewhat of shyness.

"Look. I know you're still a young girl, but you're already a wise and strong individual."

Her eyes widens.

"And that's what we want to foster in this guild. Interested in helping make that goal of the guild possible?" Iyro extends his hand to him.

"You mean...I can participate in acquiring more recruits?" She asks nervously.

"Well not necessarily that but... what do you want again? What's your goal?"

"My goal? Is..."

"I'd like--I want to make this world a safer place to live in. One that's not full of malice, but love and care for each other." She said, with complete sincerity and determination in her eyes. She extends her hand as well and grab Iyro's, shaking it to signify their agreement.

He looks a little more at her, a bit with a surprise but it quickly changes to a smile, one that shows pride. "Hm. Guess Aires choose the perfect partner afterall."

"Eh?" Juliet suddenly becomes flustered.

He snickers. "I'm just saying... we're just glad to have you here, and have the honor to train someone extraordinary like you."

Her eyes glistens, and blink rapidly before smiling shyly once more. "Thank you for giving me a chance as well." She nods.

He pats her in the head. The two moves and exits the technical recording room. Iyro offers Juliet something to eat in the cafeteria at his expenses, and she politely accepts it. They're expecting for the promotional video to start circulating by next week. Hopefully, garnering new recruits to the guild.
