Chapter 1. The beginning of all
I still can't believe how Father simply kicked me out. He called this "moving out" , but I already knew from the look on his face that it won't be a "moving out". Yep, it's a "kicking out".
How can you call somebody a relative if you haven't even heard of him/her in your hole life ? IT LACKS OF SENSE. I tried explaining this to Father, but he just got irritated and told me to go to my room, for the hundreth time...
Well, now it doesn't matter anymore. He got what he wanted. But I can't help but feel empty. He just told me to pack and get dressed nicely 'cause I'm moving out. He then shoved some money in my hands and called for a taxi to drive me to the airport. What kind of Father does that ? What kind of Father sends her "beloved" daughter in Japan to live with someone she doesn't frickin' know? Do I need to mention the fact that I don't even know japanese?
My tears started rolling, and as I soon as I realized that, I wiped them angrily. I am not going to cry for this. It's stupid, he doesn't deserve my tears.
I kept looking at the beautiful sunset through the window. "Look Yui, you are finally flying" I told to myself bitterly. Even since I was little I always wanted to travel by plane...but I never thought that it will happen in this circumstance. That beautiful red made me somehow feel better...and in a weird way ...warmer. I must say that I have never seen a sunset that red...almost like blood red.
I woke up 10 minutes before the landing, so I had the chance to view the faimous Tokyo at night from up. And I must say...it's breathtaking...and also scary. Father...what are you thinking? What will I do all by myself in this huge, different world?
I don't even know how I managed to carry all that lugagge through the airport .But I couldn't help but feel relieved when I saw the exit. I let go of my luggage, searching for my phone to call a taxi. And I was pleased to see a cab parking near me after what seemed like 5 minutes. I took a deep breath and lifted one of my lugagge...Geez it was soo heavy. Fortunately, the driver got out of the car and helped me with them.
"Thank you" I said trying to be polite . The driver turned at me looking a bit puzzled.
"You are quite yung to be all by yourself in Japan , nee ? You're clearly not from here." he said grinning. He's english was really funny , but in that exact moment I doubted that there was something that could make me laugh.I smiled bitterly and noded silently. What could I say? I was thinking the same thing.
We got in the car, and I gave him the piece of paper with the adress, since I didn't knew japanesse. He took it, and read it for about 10 times , I think. Or maybe he must be a person who just reads slowly...very slowly. He turns at me confused. "This is a very odd place to go for a girl like you. Are you sure the adress is correct?" he asked. I gave him a weird look..."Yes. It's definetly correct. ...But why do you find the place odd ? I asked curiously
"Well, I don't wanna scare ya... But it is said that that place is haunted, or stuff like 's a bunch of big old looking mansions. I mean.. I dunno', it's just a myth , but it gives you the chills, ya know?he said difficultly
In 40 minutes tops we were there. I thanked sincerely to the driver, handing him the took my luggage and placed it on the ground.
"Are you sure this is the house? he asked one more time worriedly.I didn't know if it was the right place , but it sure as hell was no reason to keep him here. If this isn't the house I 'll probably call for another cab to take me to a hotel or something
"This is definetly the place" i said trying to look as confident as I could, altough in my mind I was soo absolutely not sure about all of this.
He sighed and entered the car. In less than one minute, I was left alone in the dark in the front of the soo called 'new home'. I wanted to cry, and scream and wine about how unfair it was to put me through all of this. " But Yui, you are already here. It's useless to do a scene here. You should check your hair,and your clothes and just try to make a good impression to your new " family". " i said to myself sadlly.
"Well here goes nothing" i muttered to myself trying to fix my messy blonde waves.
I also fixed my black , short skirt, and my red scarf. "Look confident" i said to myself.
I grabbed my lugagge with all the force I had left and went to the gate. From what I could see, it was a huge mansion...an expensive one I'd say. As the driver said, it looked old. But it looked old in a beautiful way. It was as if the house itself had life. And the enourmous garden surrounding it only made the mansion look more fulfilled...I don't know...It was something about this house that seemed to have witnessed a lot...good things and bad things alltogether.
The gate was opened , which I took as a sign that they were waiting for me. So I've entered the beautiful garden, heading towards the massive door. The fragrant perfume of roses filled my senses. God , I've never in my hole life smelled such a heavenly scent.I closed my eyes , taking another deep breath of that sweet scent, and then I let my lugagge on the ground. I knocked hesitatingly , hearing how every knock almost pulsed through the hole building, and then I waited...
After 5 minutes of waiting , I tried to knock again, pissed this time. "Well, you care enough to leave the gate open , but not enough to open that door ? God. Or maybe they were simply unannounced, or maybe they didn't hear. I wouldn't be surprised to see some old deaf people living here. " I tought to myself.
This time, when I knocked, the door simply opened.
"Weird" I murmured slowly.
I glanced at every single detail. Indeed , they must be very rich to afford so many expensive things like these. My eyes stopped on the beautiful frills and paintings. The coulors were all in harmony, simply imppressive. I always loved design. And I must say, this house has it. Dropping my luggage,I rethinked my speech.
"Hello, I'm Yui Kamori. You've been expecting me today..." ...but no one answered.
My voice echoed through the hole house, giving me a feeling of loneliness.
"God , you're noisy! Get lost already!"a voice growled.
