I ran and ran and ran until I reached my destination. A large traditional Japanese house came into my view as I sprinted off to it. Then I banged on the door yelling "Ryo-Chan! Ryo-Chan!" sobbing all the while. The door then swung open and out came a man in his early thirties. He looked so shocked to see me in this state so he let me in quickly. "Smiles what happened! Did your step-father do something else to you?" he asked quickly and panicky. I didn't answer, just pointed to the large collection of bruises and cuts and wounds on my body. His face then darkened instantly and told me something that both shocked and relieved me; "Serenity, you are going to come to America with us. I will not leave you with your awful stepfather." I smiled and then hugged him despite the fact it hurt greatly. Uncle how am I going to get there? Don't tickets cost money?" I asked him. If he was paying then I wouldn't go. "Well I already bought your ticket" he chuckled. I sighed he was too smart. Perverted old monk. I went to go look for Ryo-Chan next.
"Ryo-Chan! Ryo-Chan! Where are you?" I called out, my voice still trembling slightly. Then came a boy with emerald locks and golden catlike eyes. He looks around four, like me. I smiled brightly, Ryo-Chan was home! I ran up to him and gave him a death hug. "Smiles! Wet go!" he complained. I shook my head laughing. Then Rinko-Baa-Chan came to see what the noise was about and then squealed when she saw me, but sobbed when she the wounds on my body. "Smiles come over here so I can treat your wounds before the plane leaves,"
She said. I smiled even wider, if that was possible. Ryo-Chan looked shocked. "Smiles-Chan is coming wif us?" He asked with intense curiosity that I didn't know whether to laugh or to cry. I nodded. He started squealing like a girl. I snorted and he stopped and laughed.
The airport was cold and crowded, and I don't do cold, at least not in public. I shivered terribly and then a large overcoat was place on my shoulders by an old woman I don't recognize. I also saw Nanjiro-Ji-Chan talking to her. He called her an "Old hag", which I thought was mean. I went over to him and told him that. The woman smiled and said "So this is Serenity Nadeshiko Tezuka." I nodded. "Who're you?" I asked. Baa-Chan looked at me disapprovingly and Ji-Chan laughed. She chuckled and said "I'm an old friend of your uncle's," I nodded in understanding. Then I heard Auntie call out "Serenity! Ryoma! Come on , you don't wanna miss the plane! She chuckled again and said "Well Serenity you better make the most of America!" then I boarded the plane, but I never forgot what she told me.
