Kobe Tatsuya 古部達也(18)

Hello there,

My name is Tatsuya. Kobe Tatsuya. I was born 18 years ago, just outside of Toyko. I'm 180cm tall, have short dark brown hair and green eyes. I have no scars on my face, no piercings, or tattoos. My non-school attire usually entails a tight black t-shirt, black jeans, my dull kendo katana, and a red headband made of cloth made to keep my hair out of my eyes. I'm nothing really that special I think. (Don't tell Shiro that.)

My father a Japanese man and my mother an American woman. They met when my mother was teaching English here in Japan. My father was a fellow teacher and they fell in love. At least that's what they tell me. Being the son of school teachers they always pushed me to do well in school and could help if I struggled in a subject. I really liked history and science. I joined a dojo at a young age, it was my parents' way of keeping me from getting lost in video games. I had many friends in school but the only one I really got along with was a boy named Sora. He didn't talk much about his home life but he seemed to be well behaved. My parents, strict though they were encouraged me to be friends with him, little did I know that he was in an affluent family at the time. He and I met when we were in daycare, even then he acted like a model child. I always tried to get him to play with the other kids, he always stared when we played, like he wanted to play but wasn't allowed. Then I asked him to join us and from that day on we were the time we turned 11 Sora told me he got a little sister. To my surprise, she was already 4, turned out she was adopted. But what Sora told me next was the surprising part, "She saw right through me," he said. By that point, I was the only one who actually knew what Sora was like, now there were two of them. Shiro was a savant, she learned most anything almost instantaneously but she had difficulty with social interaction, as did Sora from that point onward. The three of us were then as close as family, I looked after Shiro and Sora. I sometimes wondered why it was only me that the two of them put up with when even their parent were mere strangers to them. To which Sora answered strangely enough, "Because you're Tatsuya." I always took it as they just accepted me even though I wasn't quite like them. They, who were social inept but brilliant and love games and competition. Me, a socialite and athlete who has little competitive nature to speak of.

Around the time Sora and I turned 15 his folks kicked him out for being a "Failure" and "corrupting" Shiro. Shiro, of course, went with him. His parents also didn't want to cut him completely loose, so they put him and Shiro in an apartment they owned. I figured they thought that if they were cut off from people for long enough they would come back on their own. Little did they know that they would instead thrive in this new found isolation. "Lost in their own little world of gaming," as my folks and I began to call it. One thing was dangerous though, eventually, they became so reclusive that Sora no longer wanted to go outside and met other people. His parents came to me, as I was the only one that Sora or Shiro would even talk to at that point. They requested that I bring them food and water for a week and repeat the process every week to make sure they didn't forget to eat ever. Of course, I didn't want them to die of becoming malnourished. So, because of al this, I sort of became their surrogate parent. I'd buy them food, put them to bed and occationally, in the case of Shiro, bathe them. They like having me there. And this is where the real story began.

I've decided to redo the character into so that my readers have an idea of what I imagine when I think of Tatausya's appearance.

On a side note. I have a person requesting if there is anyone who is willing to translate the story that I've written so far into French. If there is anyone willing and wanting please PM me. If there are others that would like to translate into any other language as well please PM me as well.

Thank you all for reading. For those of you new to my stories, Welcome and please enjoy the story I've crafted.
