Hi! I'm Ady Takemashi-Jones. This is my journal. I will record all of my events and adventures in this new place here. Starting today my first day of school.

My mother decided that her and I would be moving to Japan! Why? First of all she feels homesick, secondly some guy named Akito has asked Mom to go back to Japan. Apparently he's related to Uncle Shigure or some head of the family. Anyway I have no idea. I just know that on top of getting used to dad not being here anymore I have to get used to a new country! Okay, sure I can speak the language and my parents/grandparents have raised me so I know about my heritage but that is totally different from living there.

I am excited to finally meet Uncle Shigure although I should get used to saying

Shigure ni-san. He's not really my uncle, but my mom has been best friends with him for as long as she can remember. She also palled around with a couple of other guys. I can remember one was named Ayame since my mom shares the same name, but I forget the other one.

Anyway so here I am getting dressed for my first day at a Japanese High School! At least the uniforms are cute. Mom says that I will probably meet some more Sohma's at school. They are a large family mom says, but why they want to be friends with us I'll never understand. Okay, I guess I look passable enough for school. I'm really nervous; I mean I look really American despite my Japanese heritage. I have blue eyes, and dirty blond hair. Can I stick out anymore? Mom says that I should look for a Tohru Honda; she's living with Shigure ni-san and is supposed to be very nice.

"Ady! You'll be late!"

Oh no! That's Mom. It's not too far of a walk to school so even if I have a lot of books I won't get too tired. I keep trying to remember that I have to bow and take off my shoes. Like I had to at Grandma's house. Grandma is American, but Grandpa enforces the no shoe rule and the occasional bow.

While I was changing into my slippers there was a boy with orange hair. That's odd. He also looked very upset. There was some other guy with white and black hair looking very cool back at him saying something. And a girl looking very distressed. I wonder if this is normal activity here…and if they are allowed to dye their hair. I don't think they are….

Oh no! I've been caught staring! It was the third boy with almost silver hair…these boys all have odd hair colors…wait…didn't mom tell me that the Sohma's have odd hair colors?

Opps, there's the bell better go to class. The frantic girl, orange haired and silvered hair boy are in my class. Orangey is brooding and the other two are with a new pair of girls. They keep glancing at me, maybe it's because I'm glancing too. Oh no, the frantic girl is coming over here, quick remember all your Japanese!

"Hi! I'm Tohru Honda! Welcome to Japan! You are our new exchange student, right?" She bowed to me.

"Um, Yes. Yes I am. My name is Ady Takemashi. It is very nice to meet you Honda-san." I bowed in return.

"Oh no! Please just call me Tohru!"

Wow this girl seems really modest just like Shigure ni-san said.

"Then you must call me Ady."

"Hello, Ady-san. I am Yuki Sohma. Shigure spoke of you coming."

"So that's the girl that Akito was so concerned about getting back to Japan! What's so special about her?" Orangey yelled at me. Who does he think he is? Obviously he knows nothing…he must be the cat.

"Well, I wouldn't expect a cat to know much about the inner workings of the Sohma family. Would you Yuki-san?" I could see Tohru's eye's getting wide with curiosity and bewilderment.

"I agree. A cat couldn't possible be expected to understand."

"Wow, we've always compared Yuki and Kyo as cat and mouse it's amazing you picked it up so quickly." A girl who was with Tohru she didn't have any emotion showing on her face.

"Ya damn girl! Who do you think you are!" Kyo was standing in fighting position.

"If you really want to fight come at me."

So he did and to be honest he has some great skill, but he's unfocused he let's his anger get in the way of better judgment and instinct. So in about 30 seconds he was laying against some knocked over desks. I could see the look of awe on their faces.

"What do you think I would come to Japan and NOT know martial arts? Besides I heard Kyo was a bit of a fighter and figured it would take a good punch to set him straight." Then I turned my attention to Kyo.

"I'm an American, not some shy Japanese girl. I will not tolerate such rude behavior or language. I was raised to speak my mind or if words don't work use actions. I don't care what your culture thinks about it, so get over it."

Aw, man were there whispers some girls who I could already tell were going to be annoying were whispering loudest of all. Stuff about Americans and something about not being rude to a prince? I had no idea what they were talking about. But this one tall blond was excited.

"Alright about time someone showed Orange-top over there. I'm Uo-chan and this is Hana-chan." I could tell I would make plenty of friends here.

So then our teacher came in and introduced me. I had to talk about myself. Not to bad really. Now they are learning English but since I'm fluent I can sit here and write.

Okay, here it is my first ever Fanfic. I've never written in first person like this so you'll have to tell me how it is. None of these characters are based off of me. I just really love the name Ayame, it was the first Japanese name that I learned. Oh, and Kyo fan's don't worry, I love Kyo too so don't be mad at me. Okay My next Chapter should be up soon. Once I get started I'll choose a day of the week to update on regularly. 'Till next time!
