"Well, Momo, you were right. It rains here, a lot." I said loudly into the phone, trying to speak over the pouring rain. I clutched tightly onto the handle of my umbrella. It was cold, thick rain with unrelenting wind that constantly tried to knock me over. I had just gone to get a cup of coffee when this random storm had hit, and it came at me with full force.

I decided to forget the coffee and make it back to my apartment. That was when one of my best friend, Momo, called.

"I can tell." She replied, and I had to strain to hear her. My teeth began chattering against each other; my entire body was freezing.

"I'll call you back when I'm home." I promised her, not able to hear her response when a loud boom of thunder sounded above me. I jumped a little, jogging quickly across the street to get to the other side. I walked quickly down the sidewalk, holding the umbrella up against the wind, fighting it. I could barely recognize the landscape around me thanks to the merciless rain.

I put my cell phone safely in my purse, trying to keep it dry.

However, a few moments had passed before water splattered me right in the face. I came to an abrupt stop, wondering how water was getting through the umbrella.

Much to my dismay, I saw that a hole had broken through it. I cursed under my breath and closed the umbrella, my entire body now soaking with water in mere seconds. I quickly looked for some kind of shelter, and saw an alleyway to my left. The buildings on either side had long roofs. It appeared that the rain couldn't get into the alleyway.

I ran into the alleyway, sighing in relief when I felt no more rain and the wind had left me alone. Breathing heavily and shivering, I leaned into the brick wall, closing my eyes.

I was safe. For now.

I could just stay here until the storm let up.

I glanced down at my white dress I wore earlier and it was wet now making it completely see through. I gritted my teeth in frustration and unconsciously crossed my arms over my chest.

"Now don't do that." A voice was in front of me. Yes, in front of me. My eyes widened and I stood up straighter, keeping my hands where they were.

My eyes searched the darkness, but found nothing.

And then, suddenly, it seemed as if the darkness moved. I felt as though it was just my imagination until lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating everything for a brief second. I saw a guy standing in front of me, and could barely catch a glimpse of his hair. Then everything was dark again as the sound of thunder came afterwards. I pressed more into the wall behind me, and had to admit that I was a little unnerved.

A guy standing in the shadow?

"C-can I help you?" I asked shakily, finding it hard to speak clearly due to the chattering of my teeth.

"Are you new here?" The voice continued. I strained my eyes, trying to keep an eye on him.

"Yes, I'm new here." I replied, only seeing darkness.

"Well you should know something." His voice sent a shiver down my spine. I couldn't understand - why was he having this much of an effect on me?

I glanced outside the alleyway, seeing that the rain was slowly staring to let up. It seemed that in just a few minutes, the downpour would condense to a drizzle.

I dropped my umbrella to the floor and waited for him to continue.

But when he spoke, his voice sounded right next to me, as if he was speaking into my ear. "I own this town."

I flinched away from his sudden closeness, my arm brushing against something in the midst of my action. Okay, so he was standing right next to me and I didn't even know it. I stepped away from him, my eyes continuing to search through the darkness.

"You own this town?" I repeated quietly.

He chuckled, one that sent another shiver down my spine. "Yes. Ask one of your friends who is from here. She'll definitely recognize​ my name." I hesitated.

"What's your name?"

"Suga."

It didn't sound at all familiar to me. But then again, I was new here. I assumed he meant that he literally owned this town-like he had the deed and everything. I felt myself relax.

"Well it's a nice town you have." I told him, trying to sound calm. "How long have you owned it? Or was it passed to you by family?"

"What's your name?" He ignored the question.

"Hana." I replied, rubbing my arms for friction.

"Well, Hana, go to one of your friends and they'll tell you all about me." He sounded like he was getting closer again. My entire body stiffened and my breath hitched in my throat. I flinched, but didn't move, when I felt something very warm fall over my shoulders.

"Wear this, for now. You're shaking like a leaf."

I stepped away, feeling a lot better with the jacket he had put over me. All I wanted was some kind of warmth-if anything. I clutched onto it, sliding my hands into the arm pieces. It felt huge on me and heavy. But I felt myself instantly warming up.

"Oh and Hana?" He sounded across from me now.

"Yes?"

"We'll be seeing each other again, very soon." I could hear a smile in his voice. I didn't know if what he said was a good thing, or a bad thing.
