Chapter 1

"Memories"

The young seventeen year old slept peacefully in the comfort of her warm bed; the bright rays from the sun came through the pure white silk curtains. The walls were nicely painted in an off white color with small built-in lights on the ceiling. On the right side of the bed stood a wooden desk and a cushioned orange chair in the front of it. Upon the desk were several small books leaning against the wall and other different types of items. Across from the computer desk stood a large closet. Right next to the closet was a medium size desk covered with a cream sheet, upon it were pictures of her friends and her mom in decorated frames. Near the entrance of the bedroom was another door that led into the bathroom.

KNOCK! KNOCK!

"Mika sweetie, are you awake," her mother called.

Mika pulled the covers over her face then pulled it off revealing her small body. She sat up; a soft yawn escaped her mouth as her long black messy hair rested against her back. Placing her feet on the carpet, Mika stretched her arms over her head. She walked towards her closet, taking out a pair of dark blue jean pants with a red short sleeve shirt along with a small white jacket. Placing her outfit on the edge of her bed and made her way to the bathroom. She turned on the shower letting the water, taking off her night clothes and walked in. The warm water washed her slim toned figure relaxing her tired muscles.

30 minutes later…

She emerged from the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her petite body. Walking over to her bed, she quickly got herself dressed. When she finished, Mika headed over to the nightstand that stood next to her bed side picking up her hand phone, she suddenly saw a picture of her childhood days with her step-brother in front of large crystal vase filled with golden calla lilies. Mika let out a sad sigh.

"It's been such a long time since we were together."

-o-o-

Downstairs in the kitchen, Mika saw her mother, Aaiko sitting at the table. Her brown hair reached to her shoulder, her light blue orbs glowed in the light. Mika walked over to her mother and sat down beside her. Aaiko looked up at her daughter.

"Breakfast is on the stove," her mother told her. Mika quietly got up from her seating position and went to share out her food.

"Is everything okay?" Aaiko questioned noticing her daughter's none talkative attitude.

"Well…," She began to say as she took her seat.

-Flashback-

The seven year old girl ran down the grassed hill. She wore a beautiful orange summer dress with white sandals; her hair was up in a neat ponytail. She turned around with a smile upon her face.

"Onii-chan," she called waving her small hands in the air.

Akira walked down the hill towards her, his black hair blowing in the gentle breeze.

"I'm not your onii-chan," Akira insisted.

"But…onii-chan," Mika replied.

He sighed. "Call me by my name," he demanded.

"But why….why do I have to?" the seven yr old questioned.

"I just don't want you to call me that," Akira told her.

Mika didn't say anything; a sad expression crept upon her face.

There was something about that summer that was different from the other. I just had a feeling that everything was going to change for the both of us.

-Flashback ended-

Aaiko sighed. "What's on your mind?"

Mika stopped eating and looked at her mother, "I was just remembering back when me and Akira were kids."

"Well…you don't seem really happy," her mother said as she put down the newspaper that she was reading and picked up her coffee.

Mika got out of her seat, heading towards the sink placing her place inside. She then sat back down not making any eye contact with her mother.

"Don't worry, you'll see him soon. I know you miss him around the house….heh guess I'm not good enough for you," she smiled.

"I really do enjoy having you around mom," Mika replied smiling back.

"That's good to hear. Well I'm going to work, call me if any emergencies come up," Aaiko told her getting out of her seat.

"I know mom, I'm not a little kid anymore," A smiled spread across Mika's face.

"Right, I'm sorry. I guess I just miss those days…just like you sort of," her mom gave her a kiss on the forehead; grabbing her coffee she walked out the house. Mika got up from her seating position and made her way upstairs.

A few minutes later…

Mika sat on her bed when her hand phone started ringing. Grabbing her phone from the nearby table and answered.

"Hello?"

"Hey Mika, its Kairi…are you ready?" her friend questioned.

"Yeah, just give me a few minutes," she told her.

"Sure"

The two ended their conversation; Mika placed her phone into her jeans pocket and headed out the door.

-o-o-

Kairi and Mika walked in and out from various stores. They were holding different shopping bags in their hands. The two decided to go into one last store before heading back home. Mika started looking through the different clothings that hung on the racks when she suddenly heard a familiar voice.

"Make sure that the paper works are organizes based on when they were sent and one more thing be sure BDK co. gets his fax on time or else. Okay good alright," the man said placing his phone back into his pocket.

Mika turned around, her eyes widened when she saw who the person was.
