All good things must come to an end, thought Maru. Her friends, her house, her school. Maru was being forced to leave it all behind.
Maru lived in the northern-most part of Japan. There was a lovely sea port where she would fish with her friends, and the city was not immensely large. She attended the local middle school and had good grades. She was an average girl.
She sat on her floor pouting. Today was her last day in the town. She loved this town more than anything. Her father had received a job in southern Japan. It was also near the water, but it was not the same. She put what was left to pack of her clothes and folded them away. She found a dress which she forgot she had ever owned. She put it on and looked at herself in the mirror.
She was pretty, but not gorgeous. She had thin, shoulder-length teal hair which stuck around her neck. She was lucky enough to inherit her father's deep blue eyes which could sink you into a black hole with one look. She was not very tall though. Maybe even 5"3. She looked younger than 15. She had small, A-cup breasts which her friends teased her for.
She wasn't the oldest in her family; she had 5 other siblings. She had 2 older siblings who were twins. They were both 17. Her older brother, Shinbo, was the family's only boy. Her older sister, Michi, was gorgeous. She had long, lean legs like a model, and she weighed a measly 54 kilograms. Her hair was long and a deep blue, and her eyes were blue, too. Shinbo was the spitting image of their father, and the same features as Michi. She had 3 younger siblings, all girls. Mako, who was 10, was small and annoying. Sure, she could be cute and they all loved her, but she was stubborn as a mule. Next was Momo, she was 4, and Maru was constantly caring for her. Momo clung to Maru very often. Miyori, the newest addition to the family, was 8 months old and was very cute.
Maru's mother, Miku, walked into Maru's room.
"Maru, it's late. Mako, Momo, and Miyori are all asleep. Are you finished packing?"
"Yes, mom. I'll go to bed soon."
Miku stooped down and hugged Maru. Miku could always read Maru's feelings.
"I know you don't want to leave, but this will be fun. A new adventure. You're so nice, you'll get loads of friends in no time." Miku left and Maru was left to finish packing.
But Maru didn't pack. She sat down and cried.
