Chapter-
Throughout my life I've learned a lot of things, but as we all know life will only let us remember the things we don't want to remember or that memories that aren't needed. But as you grow older you realise, those memories are the most important ones of all.
Mum says exerts like this is what I'll be reading in school in Japan. We also have to find the 'hidden' meaning. I suppose what this one is saying that even though you may not want those memories, they are the ones that will help mould you into who you are. Hmm, to me it sound like the explanation of my life.
You see whenever people try to become my friends they find me 'cold' or 'unwelcoming'. It's not really my fault, if I could I would forget the murder of my father right before my eyes. But unfortunately I can't, so I suppose everyone at my new school will have to put up with my coldness.
You see, after the trial of my father's killer my Mum decided to move to Japan to start a new. We all agreed (Me, and my younger sister Chiyoko 14, and Rie 4) to go, of course I was stuck teaching my siblings Japanese for the past 3 months.
So Mum found a housish place in the Kanto region of Japan. I'm actually really excited because that's where one of my favourite amines is based. Death Note.
"Hey Amaya, want to help me colour in the fairy princess." I look up to see which one said that, it was Rie.
"No thanks, I'm a bit busy right now." I reply.
"Aw, no fair. All you're doing is writing down what we have to do once we land in Japan. That's boring!" She whines.
"Someone has to do it, by the way, it look like you won't be able to do it very long. In fact you might want to start packing up, the plane's landing 10 minutes." I state.
"Oh, ok." She laughs.
I smile a little at her cuteness.
"Mum your suitcase is over there, you know that nice blue one you have." My other sister Chiyoko points out.
"Thankyou Chiyoko, has everyone got everything?" My mum asked.
"Yes." We all reply in unison.
"Ok then we should get going, we don't to miss the train." I say.
"Yeah, hey Mum will we have any furniture tonight, I mean it is our first day?" Chiyoko asks.
"Remember I said on the plane that the removalists and the home renovators sorted the house out last week. So everything is painted, tiled, carpeted and moved in already. Except for the stuff we have with us." Mum replied.
"Oh yeah. But what are we gonna do for food?" I swear, Chiyoko has a bank of never ending questions in her head.
"Wait didn't you just eat on the plane. You had the biggest meal they had to!" I say as we reach the train platform. Mum hands some money over and we get our tickets.
"Yeah, but I'm still hungry. I must be growing or something?" She says with a quizzical expression on her face.
I sigh and reach into my bag for some of my emergency bacon. "Here, have this. But don't say you're hungry after it because I don't have much left."
"Ugh! How do you eat all this bacon and still stay thin?" Chiyoko says.
"Can I have something to?" Rie asks.
1 year ago I made a mental note that she prefers tomatoes for some weird reason. But I keep some in my bag anyway, I reach in and get one out. "Here, you can have this."
"Thanks sissy." She says as the train comes in.
"We better get on now, we don't want to miss it." My mother says.
I'm currently fangirling on the inside (hey, emotionally cold people can fangirl to). My street looks just like Lights off Death Note. And it's around the same areas as Light's. Maybe I'll find some people cosplaying here because of the area.
The cab pulls up at my house, Mum hands the driver ¥2000 yen and we take all our stuff out. I look at my watch, 7:10pm, 5 minutes in front of schedule. We thank the driver as he drives off.
"Okay here it is, our new house. Rie your room is the first one down stairs, Chiyoko yours is the second. Amaya, yours is the one closest to the upstairs bathroom and everyone, the kitchen is the first room. Do you guys want to go in and see?" Mum says.
"Okay", "Sure", "Why not?"
Mum gets out the key and opens the door. Inside is in every way how I planned it. Warm neutral colours, this way no-one can feel sad. The colours are calming and soft.
"Wow, I really like it. Can I go see my room now?" Rie asks.
"Sure you can, you can as well Chiyoko and Amaya." Mum says smiling.
I take my 2 suitcases up the stairs (it isn't the easiest thing to do), and enter my room. Just like I planned. Everything is black, white, blue or tan. In other words, it's beautiful.
I decide to have and early night, I have been travelling for the past 12hrs. I go into the new bathroom take a shower and brush my teeth. I then go into my room and put pyjamas on. I turn off the light then got to my bed. I then drift off into a state of unconsciousness.
