Daughter Of The 'Red Moon'

Chapter One

Sometime, while walking, I like to hum and view the scenery around me. Outside was always so peaceful. When I was alone, it was nice to dive deep into my memories. I would think about the date I went on with Shaitsuko a week ago, or that really funny joke Aki told me. Then I would start to think about mom. I thought about much I wanted to yell at her, to tell her how much I hated her, yet at the same time, I wanted to hug her and hear her soft voice again. "Kaze!"

Oh boy. This was one of the minor reasons I hated mom. Why the hell did she have to give birth to three kids? "What Namine?"

"Riku says it's time to come home and eat!"

"and?"

"and, it's time…for you…to come eat?"

"Fine."

So, as my annoying little sister and I walked home, I sank into my thoughts again. "Kaze?" she finally said, "I…I miss mom."

"I know Namine, me too"

When we walked into our house, I found my brother and Riku looking rather irritated and hungry. "Oh! I'm SO sorry we were late!" squealed my sister, and then bowed about 100 times.

"Whatever," This was really all my brother ever said.

(Next Night)

Today, I spent most of my time with Shaitsuko, my happy-go-lucky boyfriend. Now I'm just happy to have some alone time. "Kaze? Can I talk to you for a minute?"

So much for some alone time. I didn't answer him. Riku probably expected that, for he came and sat beside me. He stared at the open field in front of us for about five minutes before saying anything. "Listen Kaze, I know that… hmmm, well… I think… maybe it's best if you go live with your father."

"WHAT? Riku, mom told me to stay with you! Besides, I can't just walk into my Dad's and say ' Hey Pa, you know moms boyfriend, you know, the one she left you for? Ya, Namine's dad! Well, you see, he kicked me out of the house, so, you mind if I chill with you for a bit?' "

"I'm not kicking you out Kaze, I know you talked to your mom about it. I also know you don't like me."

Well, what can I say? I really don't like him. "Fine, I'll go talk to him tomorrow."

And with that I got up and left.

(Next Morning)

"OH MY GOD!" was the first thing I said that morning.

I woke up to see Namine sitting at the corner of my bed, staring at my blue throw-rug. "Kaze?" she said softly, " Are you moving out?"

"Maybe"

"Do you have to?"

"Well I, hm. Namine, you get to live with your dad everyday. Aki and I don't."

"So! Mom said it would be best if you stay with Riku til' things settle down! Besides, your dad works all day. Everyone you love is here! You can't leave!

"SHUT UP NAMINE! You're wrong! You're wrong about everything, so just SHUT UP!"

"What the hell is going on in here?"

It's a good thing Aki came in when he did. I think I would have had to kill my sister if that conversation had gone on ant longer.
