Hey, how are you guys? This is my first fanfiction, and I hope you like it!
Chapter 1; Her Arrival
She stepped out of the airport, baggage in both of her hands. Her carry-on tote bag loosely hung on her lower arm, lightly swaying the warm breeze. She contently set down the suitcase on her left, and tucked the loose strands of long pink hair behind her ear, a small smile on her face. The weather was nice, and perfect for what she was wearing. Her top consisted of a gray, plaid t-shirt with a petit white bow at her waist, and the top button undone, showing her peachy complexion. Beneath the shirt, her dark navy jeans complimented the shirt with a pair of brown moccasins. She definitely looked confident and ready to explore the world. (picture link on profile)
She took a seat on a nearby bench, and waited for her ride. After fiddling around with her bag, she pulled out a silver-pink cell phone, and began to text her best friend.
Where are you? I've already arrived in Tokyo. I'm waiting at the 2nd gate. Hurry! I can't wait to see you and Rima again. :)
She put her hands on her thighs, the cell phone beneath her left palm. She took a look around, and sighed contently. Lovers and old friends were all around, joyful that they were finally 're-united' with one another. She sighed, obviously not caring about the whole, 'relationship' thing yet. She was already 16, but not a single thought about being with a special someone passed through her mind.
I just don't think that being with that significant other is for me… Although tons of other people back in America seemed to like that, she thought. It was true, there were several people back at her old school who lived on dating other people, because it made them 'popular'. She could've really cared less about the whole thing back then, and still doesn't care now. Several boys had asked her out before, but she politely declined, claiming that she just wasn't ready for a relationship yet. Obviously, all of the popular girls at school bagged on her for this, but she just dusted them off her shoulder and ignored them.
Now that I'm back… maybe I can start brand new. I can't wait to see momma and papa again. I have so much to tell them! Her thoughts were interrupted by a loud, vibrating noise coming from underneath her left hand. She snapped out of her trance, and flipped open her phone. There was a brand new text message.
Hey! Sorry, I was busy trying to calm Rima down after she heard about your arrival, haha. :) Well, we're getting into the car. We'll be there in around 50 minutes, so try not to get lost while we're on our way okay? We can't wait to see you again! Love you! (: -Utau
She smiled at the thought of Rima and Utau racing over to her side, embracing her into a warm hug. A tear trickled down her right eye, and she quickly wiped it away before any bystanders could see. The warmth in her heart exploded with happiness, as a big, goofy smile reached her face. It was like nothing could bring her down from this state of happiness. As she waited patiently for her ride to come, she took a look around.
Maybe I could do some window shopping at those airport stores… Confirming her thoughts, she picked up her bags and proceeded into the airport. There were several little shops that sold little baubles like necklaces and bracelets. She strolled around the shops, her eyes becoming wider and wider as she wandered deeper into the shops. Looking at the jewelry, she couldn't help but take a look. It was as if the rings and necklaces had this magical effect on her, drawing her closer into the stores. A quiet vibration was heard in her right pocket, breaking her out of her trance. She opened her cell phone to find a new text message from Utau.
Hey! We're almost at the airport. We'll be at the 2nd gate in around 5 minutes. Wait outside, kay? Loveyou! -Utau
She smiled, and began to write another message back.
Kay! I can't wait to see you guys! :) Love you, too (;
After pressing send, she tucked the cell phone into her back pocket. Taking one last look at the jewelry, she left, making sure that she had all of her personal belongings. As she began making her way back to the front of gate 2, she noticed an old lady who was staring at her.
"Uh," she started, "can I help you..?"
The old lady stood up, her knees cracking and her long, gray hair flowing out from beneath her hood. "I have a gift for you, darling…" Her voice cracked as she spoke, "The stars say that one day, a 16 year old pinkette will arrive in Tokyo. She is to be blessed with the humpty lock, and find her key." The woman handed her a silver chained necklace with a lock dangling at the end. The lock was decorated with 4 hearts of different colours – pink, blue, green, and gold.
"E-er-r, t-thank y-you-u..!" She replied. To be completely honest, she was terrified of the occult, and the way the old lady was talking wasn't helping at all. The lady dropped the necklace into her small hands, and began walking away. She carefully held the necklace, and admired it's beauty. Wow, looking up close… it's beautiful… I should be careful of where I put it. Suddenly, another loud sound came from her pocket.
WHERE ARE YOU! I TOLD YOU TO COME OUTSIDE AND WAIT AT GATE 2! YOU BETTER NOT BE LOST IN THE AIRPORT. UGGH. TEXT ME BACK. -Utau
She sweat dropped, and began texting back.
Aha, sorry Utau… I got bored of waiting outside, so I decided to come inside to take a look at the shops! Don't worry. I'll be out there in about 2 minutes. See you soon! :)
She closed her phone and ran towards her gate, hoping that Utau wouldn't kill her if she wasn't there in 2 minutes like she had said. Running through the crowds must've made her look like a mad woman, but she didn't care. Her luggage was in both of her hands, and she raced to the other side of the airport, dying to see her friends again. She ran as fast as she could, not feeling even the slightest bit tired. Her determination to see her friends again overtook all of her six senses, but still gave her the ability to move around and think subconsciously. Nearly running past her gate, she read a giant, '2', on the door, and recollected herself. Inhaling and exhaling, she slowly stepped outside only to be interrupted by-
"!" She turned around, but only to be pummeled face-first by Utau.
"U-U-Ut-a-u-u!" The pinkette laid on the ground, with the tall blonde on top of her, crushing all of her bones. "Y-y-you're h-heavy…"
Utau blushed a light pink, and quickly peeled herself off the girl on the ground. Utau offered her hand, and the pinkette gladly took it. "Sorry, I was just so excited to see you!" Utau grabbed her bags, and threw them into the back of their car.
"Utau, where's Rima?"
"What do you mean?" Utau yelled, putting the trunk cover down.
"I thought you said she was here with you?" As soon as she finished her sentence, a petit girl climbed onto her back, screaming and shouting.
"… WHY ARE YOU LATE…?" The pinkette nervously turned around, only to see Rima on her back, glaring at her with daggers, and a dark aura surrounding her.
"I-I-I, w-was d-d-is-t-t-ra-ct-e-d-d," she stuttered, "c-can you get off my back now, R-Rima?"
"Oh, sorry, I get a little carried away sometimes," Rima giggled, "I'm just so glad you're finally back in Japan! How was America? OH! OH! OH! Did you spot any hot boys?" She winked and nudged her best friend at the last question.
"Haha! I'll tell you all about it later when we're back at my place. But, if you're wondering about the last question, no, I did not, and I won't for a while now."
"Aww…" Rima pouted, and slouched down in a childish stance. They piled into the car, and Utau began driving.
"Utau…" the pinkette started with a tired tone, "Is Japan still a nice place to live in..?"
She laughed and answered, "Of course, Amu. You'll love it here."
She smiled to herself, and quietly rested her head against the car window. She rested her eyes, and began to sleep. Hinamori Amu was finally back in Japan.
If you're wondering, yes, I didn't want to put Amu's name until the very end, so stick with me here.
Please Review! That would mean a lot. :)
R.J. LOVE.
