Tenrai walked to the top of the apartment that he was staying in. He opened a door and walked to the edge of the roof. He looked down at the people with their busy lives many of them walked in pairs some by themselves and others with a group of people. He sat at the edge and looked down. 'What would they be like with nothing to do?' he thought.
A little girl was being pushed around by two older boys. "Quit it !" she cried as they pushed her back and forth. Finally one of the boys stepped aside and the girl fell to the ground.
Tenrai sat on top of the building and watched as the boys laughed at her, making her cry more. 'That is ... ive never seen anything quite like it before.' he thought and jumped down to the busy sidewalk below him. He pushed his way through the crowds and over to the small group of kids. The two boys say him and took off. The girl got up and looked at him. He face was dirty and her clothes were torn and filthy as well. "You allright?" he asked her.
"Yes thank you." she bowed politely. "My name is Tarazu."
"Im Tenrai." he said 'She must live on the streets.' he thought only hearing of the street kids. Never actually seen one before.

Seirei ran up to Tenrai. "Oh thank you so much for helping her. She has been having trouble with those boys for weeks." She looked at Tara. "Shall we be going now kiddo?"
Tarazu looked at Tenrai. "No. I want to stay with him. He can save me."

He blinked and looked at Tara. "Save you? Kid i just happened to be around and noticed. Maybe you should just go on back home."
"Please. Please sir. I don't want to live on the street anymore. I want a home again." She began to sob.
Tenrai tried to avoid eye contact but he looked at her. He sighed. "Fine. We'll try it for a while. But if i can hadle you ... sorry kid."
"YAY !" she said happily and grabbed onto his hand.
He walked with her back to the apartment doors. 'What have i gotten myself into this time?'

"What a nice man. I hope she'll be happy." Seirei thought as she walked away.

Tenrai saw Seirei walking away. He turned. "Hey, I'd think you want to check out the place before i take the kid in. I mean how do you know you can trust me?"

Tenrai smiled and held the door to his room for them both. After they were in he closed it behind him.
