It’s been a few days since Hazuki and Blaze moved to their new home, and Hazuki was already getting bored of not having a thing to her name, so she went out to the local junkyard and looked through everything, hoping to find something good. She found an Easel, an old toy box with some broken toys, and, oddly, an old outhouse. (No joke she really found one in one of those junk piles)

After finding some goodies at the junkyard, she went off to school. Not really having time to go back home to wash in the pond, on the bus no one wanted to sit by her. They ended up giving her the title “Stinky Rat”… joy.

Hazuki was only in school until lunch time before her class was taken to go see a play called “The Tiger, The Wizard, And The Dresser,” which was nice and wasn’t as boring as the others might have felt, and she really enjoyed the singing. After, as a prize for behaving good, Hazuki ended up getting a large mirror to take home. (her back must be killing her with all those items in her back pocket)

Once the field trip was over Hazuki went home and put the new items away by her tent, or inside of it for now before she went off back to the junkyard as she remembered seeing other things she and Blaze could use. Once she got there to start digging however, she ended up running into the owners son, Chet Kinder.

Chet: What are you doing here? It’s dangerous.

Hazuki: I just..no reason really…

Hazuki headed for the door of the building she and Chet were in, but he stopped her.

Chet: Hey wait. Please, tell me, why you would come to a place like this?

Hazuki looked at him and then let out a sigh before she explained to him why she was there. Chet looked shocked to hear that a child was homeless, and even more so to find her diging through garbage to find something descent.

So, Chet pulled his car keys from his pocket and asked Hazuki to come with him. Now, Hazuki knew not to go with strangers, but seeing his kind smile ,and not getting any bad vibes, she went with him. They got to a shop after driving in his truck a while, and she followed him inside. The place turned out to be a hardware store. Hazuki stayed close to Chet and watched him pick out some supplies like nails, some planks, and even some lamps that turned on at night once they got enough sunlight. Hazuki wondered what he was going to do with that stuff, but everytime she asked him he would just smile and pat her head, telling her “it’s a surprise” which was starting to make Hazuki worry.

Once they were done in the store, Chet had Hazuki show him where she lived, which wasnt that far from the junkyard. When Chet saw her so called “home” he felt heart broken, but then a little scared as Blaze was there and growled at him. Hazuki calmed Blaze down, and then Chet got to work. It took all day, but with Hazuki’s help he was able to build her a small shelter to keep her and Blaze dry from the rain, and hopefully more protected at night. It’s wasn’t much, but to Hazuki it was a start to her dream home. (BTW the pet bed was also found in one of those junk piles ^_^)

Hazuki was very greatful to Chet for what he had done and made sure to give him a tight hug to show it. He was the first person in her life after her birth mother that actually gave a damn about her, and he didn’t even know her.

When Chet left Hazuki waited until she couldn’t see his truck anymore before she got to work on cooking a fish she caught. Today had been a very good day for her and Blaze, and she knew it was only going to get better.
