HEY! look something different. Not really this is just a Prologue I feel Like if you read this couple of Chapters then you will hopefully understand what the plot is about a little. So I hope this is helpful.

The story and plot belong to me.

Name are created through putting together random stuff.

Prologue

(A/N They are in America in this entire chapter. They are speaking in English this entire chapter. It's weird but yes But 4/5 of the story is really them talking in Japanese. Just remember that.)

It's about a month before graduation. And I can't wait for spring. Yeah I know it's weird but you see im going to start college in spring because im going to help with my parent's shop first. Of course im excited for graduation but ill get to start college in a place that I have wanted to go for years. Osaka. I haven't been there since I was five, so I don't remember. See my dad is from Osaka and because of that my first language was Japanese. I speak English more though because, well, I live in New York City. I know my Japanese well, it's just most people I know don't know that. It's because my mother on the other hand is from South Africa. My parents met in Tokyo. I have an older sister who currently is in Boston for her last year of college.

I'm currently a senior doing that last bit of school stress before I graduate. Im now 18 and I have a thing for playing music, especially on the piano, drums and cello. Even though I only played piano to learn how to read music. I still suck at it though so it was a big waste of time.

The bell rang and I was gathering my stuff when my close friend Lynn came up to me and dropped all her books on my desk.

"What is wrong with you…?"

"Do you really have to go Japan"?

"Yes."

"Why! Can't you just come with me to Penn State or something you. Got in there too."

"Why ask me something like that before we graduate? That doesn't make sense."

"I've been trying to convince you to come with me for the past 4 months"

"And you have failed at convincing me."

"Rain…do you think you be able to find what you are looking for over there," She looked me in the eyes, " you seem so certain that what your looking for is so far across the world.."

I looked down. Silence.

"Rainah… your taking a big chance it this plan fails then what will you do. Are you sure about this?"

There was another minute of silence before I looked at Lynn again and another before I spoke. "Lynn, I not 100 percent sure that I will find it there but. I have to try. This is my only chance. I might be able to find maybe a tiniest bit to what I am looking for. Then, I'll be satisfied"

"What is this thing that you are looking for? Some family treasure or something?" Lynn leaned on the table and propped her chin on her palm.

I sighed and looked down again. "Honestly, Lynn, I don't know…"

"…Your joking"

"…No. It's like. I feel like there is this part of me that is missing. Something I should know but don't. Then I thought about how I don't remember much about my Otōsan's side of the family and don't remember any memories about Japan. So I thought that maybe it's something there that can help."

"You think to much."

"What? No I don't!"

"You do. Maybe you just need to go on a date or something."

"How about no."

"…Wow 18 years old an you have never had a boyfriend or went on a date."

"I hate boys."

"How could you know you have never ta-Oh oh yeah sorry I…I forgot I didn't mean to-"

"It's ok" I cut her off.

"I still wish you didn't have to go."

"Im going Lynn and you can't stop me. But don't worry I'll write to you."

"Writing is so old fashioned…" She wined as I got up from my chair, pick up my bag and walked out of the classroom with my best friend scurrying behind.

9 Months Later

I slowly released my mother and sister after our very long hug from them. Otōsan tried fighting back tears while Mom was already bawling.

Otōsan put his hand on my shoulder "Now I need to work hard and be very careful. Don't forget to send us messages and write. I want you to write us in Japanese though."

"Otōsan that's a lot of work." I complained

"Exactly that's the spirit." He gave me another big hug.

Then mom came up to me

"Now I need to you behave yourself, work hard in your music as well as your normal studies," she started

"Yes mom I know."

"Make sure to get a part time job that doesn't stress you out." She continued babbling

"Mom…"

"Try your best to pay your rent on time,"

"Mom…"

"Eat well try to learn how to cook so that you don't always have to eat out,"

"Mother."

"Oh and make sure to double check your luggage once you get off the plane"

"Mom! I wont be able to get on the plane if you keep going"

"S-sorry Honey. Im just so happy that you are going to college im so happy!" She sobbed

I wrapped my arms around my mother and gave her a tight hug.

Once I released from her and looked at my sister, Jacquie. She motioned me to put my ear to her mouth and I did so then she whispered

"Hey Rain look, you need to be careful while you're in Japan. No not even extremely careful, the entire world is very dangerous and not to mention our plan can possibly be ruined."

"Gotcha." I whispered back

"Oh and also. Be carful with who you meet…. We don't want any mistakes"

After I pulled away I just stared at her confused at the last part. She smirked and after about I minute of staring I finally got what she said.

"YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE!" I yelled but then immediately covered my mouth because not only was I in public but my parents were right in front of me. "whoops…" I murmured

"Rainah…" Otōsan glared at me

"Sorry about that…"

9:22 flight to Los Angeles, Now Boarding. Gate 5

"Well…that's me" I said picking up my backpack and throwing it over my shoulder.

"Bye Rainah! See you soon!" My Family yelled out to me

Then my dad said something else. He said.

"Rainah, if anything happens I will come all the was to California to save you. I promise you that."

Said in Japanese.

I started to feel guilty after hearing that.

Welp there you go Prologue. I guess the plot of the story will make a lot more sense now I hope. I wish I had thought of this sooner. I keep thinking about the story so much that I feel like I can make it way better then how I originally plotted it. But I hope you enjoy this
