Your Stop Is :: Kamakura

[fanntastique]

Kamakura, Kanagawa
Japan

With technology taking over the entire Japan, a traditional town like Kamakura is a rare gem these days. Just one hour away from Tokyo, it is after all, not the best kept secret. Still, with its slapping waves thundering against the coast, and impressive monuments against the backdrop of Mount Fuji, it is no wonder Kamakura is top on the list. Besides its coastal charm, there is just so much history and culture in this town.

Kamakura is of course most famous for the Great Buddha of Kamakura – a bronze statue of Amida Buddha built on the grounds of Kotokuin Temple. It stands majestically as the second largest statue in Japan. The Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine is the spiritual heart of the coastal town, along with the torii-gates (signature red gates of Japan) welcoming you into the town center. Come in April, and you sure will find beautiful pink cherry blossoms lining the the Dankazura Street that runs parallel.

♔ - Spending her third day in the quaint seaside town, the brunette garnered more than a few looks from the surrounding crowd. It wasn't due to anything untoward, even if she was a tourist, which sort of rendered her an automatic annoyance to a lot of locals by proxy, nor a result of outlandish features or odd colouring - she hadn't even dyed her hair blonde, it had been black for three straight months, which was probably a new record for her. No, she actually looked fairly normal, even in the land of the rising sun. If not for the supremely negative vibes surrounding her person and the sorely irritated lady - look on the picturesque face, it was safe to say she probably wouldn't have garnered more than a few second looks of some sort of average, passing admiration.

♔ - She didn't really have a reason to be so pissed. Kamakura was a beautiful place, but then things tended to lose their appeal when one realized one was utterly, hopelessly lost in a foreign place and the map the receptionist had given you had not turned out to be a universally - understood one as she had assumed from the cover, but one written in a completely different alphabet - which she incidentally happened to not understand. Kamakura wasn't the largest place, by any means, so she could probably find her way back to the hotel one way or another in the span of the day, but it was annoying. Lost. She was lost, and she was an attractive young female in a completely strange land. It totally didn't bode very well for her, when she looked at things in that light. The rapid manifestation of her inner b***h was so far doing okay in keeping off unwanted advances, but Tiffany wasn't really sure how long that would last in the light of her aimless walks around the place and the sure realization that any stalkers she might have would have, that she was hopelessly lost.

♔ - Perhaps she'd get lucky and encounter someone who would be willing to help a tourist out. She herself wasn't very fond of tourists back home, so Tiffany supposed she could understand (and probably deserved) the reluctance to accommodate her by the locals. And it was getting colder too. In retrospect, she probably should have brought an extra jacket with her to cover up - she would have, only the sun was misguidedly bright earlier in the day. She was pretty hungry too. Stupid weather. Stupid map. Stupid receptionist. Tiffany bet she did that on purpose, too. The laser - eyes on her Gucci messenger didn't go unnoticed before she left the hotel this morning. Hoisting up the said bag a little higher on her shoulder, the Singaporean went on to trudge once more in a random direction, this time hoping with a little more vehement fervency that she might be able to miraculously find herself outside the establishment sometime before sundown and so lessen her chances of any unpleasant encounters off non - local ground.

♔ - Despite being admittedly vainer than most people about her looks━ she worked hard to maintain her svelte figure and just - about - measured thigh gap, thank you very much━ Tiffany couldn't say she had anticipated the sort of current reaction happening at all right then. Not that she'd never thought about it, since having tall, handsome men falling to their knees at her feet was a pretty damned sweet deal, if you asked, her, but still. So she knew the guy's fall totally wasn't due to her bombshell wiles, the girl was definitely not bitter━ it was just her b***h coming out to play, like always.

♔ - She wasn't really sure what the hell the guy was doing down there, nor did she particularly care. He'd almost tripped her━ if he'd been any closer, she would have followed his klutzy a** down on the pavement and possibly ruined her new pair of leggings. He looked pretty stupid, to be honest, sprawled out on the pavement like that and garnering a fair amount of unimpressed creds with her, that is, until she actually got a good look at him and some inner slut that resided in here that she thought she'd knocked dormant during her high school days came to life and shot her head into overdrive.

♔ - The dude was hella cute. And he looked a lot like Kanda Yuu. Even down to the hair━ Jesus, she'd excuse the cat any day.

♔ - Having gone through the proper thought channels and successfully programmed herself from "Wow, what a ******** klutz." to "Let me just make you my husband." Tiffany took a few more moments to admire the prone form lying inches away from the toes of her boots before bending down and picking up the feline. It promptly snuggled itself vaguely in the valley between her boobage, the little pervert. Was it some sort of man-hater? It would probably explain the massive dive, in some twisted manner, she thought, crouching down to better look at the cute dude. Tucking the cat closer, she shifted it to support the small animal with one arm, before extending the other towards the gloomy - looking figure.

♔ - "You know, I've always thought I was nice - looking, but I've never really expected to get a reaction quite like that before," she noted with a small grin. Wow, she was playing it so ******** cool. Someone needed to give her a medal. Did he even speak English? Because she was s**t at Japanese, to tell the truth. She could barely survive without a handbook. "I'm just kidding━ are you okay?" Her hand could totally do the talking, right? Weren't gestures of goodwill a universal language? Said hand, still extended to help sprawled man up, was still waiting. He looked like a smart person. Maybe this dude could be her ticket back to her hotel too. Huh. Not half - bad thinking for her recently hormone - infused brain.
