More summary info: Hitomi just moved to Japan from Scotland. She will be going to Gaea High School. What will happen when her uncle forces her to do something that she would never do? Who does Hitomi end up with? Sorry I like keeping things underwrap even who she gets paired up with in the end. So read and review please, and be brutally honest if you have to! Enjoy!!! ~Wings of Light~
The wind whipped at Hitomi Kanzaki's short honey hair. It was noon on a chilly October day, the 30th to be exact. Hitomi had just turned eighteen last month and shortly after that her father was arrested for embezzlement at his accounting firm. Her mother, embarrassed and horrified, divorced him and decided to move to a new town. Forget that even, a new country that seemed like a whole new world. The last month had been hard for Hitomi, of course the divorce did not hit her that hard since she knew she was not the problem. It was the fact of moving half-way across the globe to Japan that was hard for her. Born in Scotland, Hitomi longed to see rolling green hills and fog but that would not be possible here. All she saw cherry blossoms and other exotic plants she would only see in textbooks in Scotland. Fortunately for herself, she did not have a huge accent since her family was Japanese. She had a Japanese accent and spoke Japanese fluently. So it seems Hitomi would fit in just right here in Japan. Awakening out of her reverie she turned up the collar of her jean jacket and then turned around to look at her new neighborhood. Pleasant looking Japanese houses lined the street, and it seemed that each had a Zen garden and Bonsai trees. Little children ran around playing tag, and the average-mid-life crisis-married man was tending to his pathetic excuse for a lawn. Everything was quiet even at midday. Hitomi let out a deep sigh when she saw her mother leaving for her new job. "Everything is different, everything's so...so... peaceful and happy," she mused, "I've got an odd feeling about this place, I hope mom enjoys it here. I hope I like it here." Absentmindedly she stroked her pink teardrop shaped pendant. "Maybe..." she whispered out loud. The house was finished, all that was left was to unpack her own boxes and decorate her room. But Hitomi did not feel like it, she just stood on the landing outside of her window scanning the neighbor hood with her hazel eyes. A figure darted out of the house across the street and stopped in Hitomi's yard. A girl about the same age as her with waist length white hair and cerulean eyes waved at her. "HI!" Yelled the spunky girl. "I'm Sora and you must be my new neighbor." Sora's voice reminded Hitomi of the little silver bells in music stores, so clear and beautiful. Sora gracefully climbed up onto the landing to shake hands with Hitomi. "I'm Hitomi Kanzaki," Hitomi said while running her other hand through her short hair. They were almost the same height, though Sora was an inch or two shorter. The awkward silence continued for about five more minutes while they studied each other. Finally Sora broke the silence. "Well it looks like you still need to unpack." She stated as she peered around Hitomi and through her window. "Yea, I still have to get to that. It's not exactly on the top of my 'TO DO' list." She responded with some regret. "And what would be on the top?" "Probably get a water balloon and launch an attack against that guy." Hitomi pointed to what you would call a "pretty boy" walking down the street. "I have to urge to wreck that pretty long blonde hair. I bet he took hours getting it that luminescent! He reminds me of my ex-boyfriends vain beyond belief." "Yea, well I'd like to, too. But I have to see him in school and so will you, better get used to 'pretty boy' there. So.. need help with your room?" Sora asked. "Sure." Hitomi shrugged. Sora let out a girlish wail and was completely energized as she jumped into the mass of boxes and started to rip boxes open in a frenzy. Over the next hour both had accomplished the impossible together. Hitomi's room was set up and decorated, and she actually had fun doing it. The room was a sky blue color and her sheets matched it. The wall nearest to the door was devoted to books and CDs. The one which the window was on had her paintings and drawing across the room. Her bed was set underneath the window. The wall right behind her had pictures of friends and family completely covering it, and the last open wall (which where the closet was) had a body length mirror on it, and random movie posters. Sora and Hitomi chatted it up the whole time, they instantly bonded. "Hey you know our school is having a masquerade dance tomorrow night. Wanna come?" Sora asked while she climbed out of the window. "I don't know...I won't know anyone but you..." Hitomi trailed off. "I swear you'll love it. Please?" Sora gave Hitomi her biggest, cutest, and most wet puppy dog eyes with the quivering lip too. "Alright I'll go." She groaned. Sora let out another girlish cry and hugged Hitomi. " I'll come by about sever, OK?" "OK." Hitomi replied nonchalantly. After Soar had scrambled down and dashed to her house Hitomi went to her closet and started looking for her costume. * * *
