Which is more painful? The fact of leaving all your friends goodbye, or saying goodbye to the place you love most?

Out of my sixteen years of living, I have came to a conclusion. I am an ill-mannered, pocky lover idiot with the tendency of making friends with the floor and ground. Pleasant? Not really. Nope. Not at all.

Sitting across from me, is my mother who's looking more tired than usual. The black bags underneath her eyes are circling, deepening till a purplish color. Strands of her pin-straight hair falls in her face as she tucked in her chin, eyes shifting downwards to the blue mug in front of her. A pale, trembling finger circled the rim. Once. Twice.

She's waiting for my reaction. No doubt.

Waiting...waiting...waiting...

"WHAT?" I finally lash out, the words of what she just said to me sinking in. Had I heard her correctly? Are my ears playing tricks once again?

For a few moments, she doesn't say a single word. A silence filled the room, tickling my face as a shiver runs down my spine. Mother was the one to break this silence, in a way, for the finger tracing the mug pauses momentarily, her coal black as night eyes flicker into my direction, then back to the cup as if there were something interesting about it. Finally, she speaks. But in her low, soft tone that made me strain my ears to hear better. "I'm sorry, sweetie, I truly am. But the doctors said it's a have to. And you know that I can't refuse them."

Translation? The doctors here had given up on her so their throwing her to another village to have it their problem.

Fucktards. "Then...when are we leaving? Right away? Next week?" I sat back in my seat, flushing bright pink first, when I realized how I was standing up. Honestly speaking, I hadn't even noticed my actions. It's a bad habit of mine.

"Um." Her head dropped, shamefully. That sparked my curiosity. "Actually, we have to leave at this moment."

Eh? I gawk at her, not hiding the surprise masking my expression. What are my chances that this is a dream? She looked sad and...serious in a way. Which means that truly, this is happening. Not a dream. Or even a daydream. Maybe I should give myself a punch in the face just in case.

...I'd rather not.

"Your not...angry with me?" she inquired, eyeballing me with suspicion. Doesn't surprise me. I'm the type of person who would flip a table over (but then somehow end up tripping over my own feet and fall face planted against the ground) or simply just cross my arms and refuse to move anywhere.

"Nope," I assured her, popping the "p" also. Even a smile found it's way to my lips. From the sight of that, she seemed to relax. Just a bit, though. There's still the knot in her eyebrows. Either way, she gave a slight nod in the head then met my smile. She rose to her feet, smoothing out her long pale pink T-shirt a couple of times. She does the same thing with her shoulder-length hair.

"Just collect the important things to you and get to the car, okay?" she stated and when I gave out a "hn" she continued on. "I'll be driving there -it'll be a long drive- so get something to entertain yourself."

Wait... "Drive?" I repeated, wondering if I heard correctly.

In response, she just nodded her head.

"Well isn't that something," I muttered, more to myself than to her. She still gave a smile in reply, a sad one, though. And she scooped my younger sister, playing with a teddy bear on the ground, in her arms before walking away. Mizuki, my younger sister, looked more like our mother while I, on the other hand, looked like my father whom I've never met before. She had the same color of hair, but longer and put in high pigtails. Eyes small, squinty and piercing dark. They were beautiful.

With a last sigh, I rose to my feet and dragged my way up the stairs, down the right hall until I was in my room. My plain, simple room whom won't be mine anymore. It's sad, now that I think about it. I gather the things I claim are important to me, shoving them into my bunny-shaped backpack. At the window, I swing the backpack over one shoulder. I toss myself out the window, landing on the ground a bit shaky. My mother was already in the silver minivan, waiting patiently for me. I open the door, climbing into the car and then shutting the car door tightly. As Mother pulled out of the drive way, I stole one last glance at the house, the house where all my precious memories were stored at. Deep down inside I want to have the next family who live there be happy but right at the moment, I'm pissed off that we're moving away from this house. To tell you the complete truth, I actually really liked that house. My words have no effect now because Mother has to go Konohagakure and will be, hopefully, healed there. A child like me has no rights to complain about moving...it's just rude and so non-called for.

I turn the radio on and right away a familiar song plays. I sing along with them although my singing skills aren't exactly the greatest.

I have to ask you, is this wrong?
Because there is no meaning for tomorrow
Sometimes I'm happy but other times I feel like crying
Although, I want you to come first.

Love, it was hopeless love
It's not that I smiled at you
When you make a promise, It feels like 'goodbye'
I was scared and it felt like I lost my sight.

Had years past? The car ride was a lot longer than I expected it to be.

In the end, Mother finally pauses the car in front of what looked like...gates? Her demanding voice was what snapped me out of my puzzling wonders. "Get your things. We're getting out now."

"What about the car?" I inquired, confused.

"We're leaving it here, sweetie. We're not allowed to have cars in the place," she explained calmly.

My mouth fell to the ground. "What?" I lash at her. "No car?"

"No car," she said firmly.

Great, I thought to myself sourly. This is going amazing. No car...what kind of town is this then? Well, whatever. It is now the time make up a new chapter for my life. A new life in an unfamilar place...how fun is that going to be?
