Flashback: How it happened:
'Ahhh!! I hate you! I hate YOU!! How could you?!' she screamed with tears streaming down her soft cute innocent 6 year old face.
'Then who needs you?! I never wanted a stupid kid like you anyway!! Get out!! Now!' screamed the small child's mother. She should have expected this of all the years her daughter put up with her, but today she forgot her birthday entirely. She never remembered her daughter nor spend time with her not even weekends the only thing she did was give her daughter a home, that was it. She cooked her own dinners, she played by herself, and she spent her whole life alone that was what happened to her daughter.
'I will!! I'll get my stuff and leave!! I don't need your love anymore!' She cried harder and screamed louder 'You never loved me, anyway!' She ran to her room and grabbed her black travel bag with red hearts on it. She quickly threw clothes she bought from the money she was given by her personal maid, she was rich after all. Not like she cared all her mother did was work and all she wanted was a simple 'Happy Birthday' today nothing else and what? Nothing. She finally did it she couldn't take it anymore! The girl grabbed a giant bag under her bed it contained all her savings since she was 3, it was made of money she never used since she didn't want or need a lot or money from performances off the street. She stuffed it in her travel bag.
When she was young she watched street performers she thought it looked fun and in fact began singing childishly and happily as a street performance. Seeing how it worked she threw out her sunflower hat onto the asphalt and twirled as she singed. She was really happy with that and got sympathy money from the street people or a grandma who was death once in awhile. She was young and singing in 'la la's' but as she grew she got better much better and actually started singing lyrics dropping the twirling routine by 5 she did it daily and came home with almost ten dollars regularly.
By now she was pretty set and if she kept her routine she might make it on her own with determination she stomped back down the steps with a tear streaked face and bag in hand. She walked up to the front door where her mom was standing closely by looking unfazed as she walked through the black double doors in which she left everyday for adventure to heal her broke and lonely heart she spoke her seemingly last words to her mother.
'Goodbye, Azuma' she said using her mother's maiden name with words that crawled up her mothers back making her shudder.
SLAM!
The door was shut and in a few minutes the six year old with a bag the size of herself was fading into the distance of the future. It was gone completely, her childhood. The sweet memories and loving parent bonding she was supposed to cherish but as responsibility at young age increased by day those memories ever so slightly inched farther and farther from her grasp. It was pretty unreachable from the beginning, she never had a father he had left there family at her birth year and her mother seemed to have left also mourning after her lost. The girl stood in the shadows ever so lost combing her dolly's hair with her small fingers she talked to the dolly as if it was alive. But to her it was the closest thing to not being alone she'd ever had and she was right it was. Well, until she left.
The middle aged woman stared at the dark closed door as she heard the dripping of the faucet echoing through the now abandoned mansion. It's not like she ever stayed here but as she stood there pangs in her heart gave her regret and heart break. As a tear trembled down her cheek she hushed her last words directed towards her daughter.
'Good Riddance'
Later with the girl
I searched through the city looking for either a place to stay or and idea to use. Although I had money hotels weren't good because they wouldn't submit a young girl like me and with the fight of young age and logic in my head I was slowly losing hope.
Then it hit me.
BAKA BAKA BAKA
It really did. Ouch.
Hotaru Imai was a classmate of mine who I liked very much. I was only in kindergarten and we were a small class my seatmate was cold short raven haired girl with amazingly pretty violet eyes. She didn't care much all she seemed to want was to make new inventions or make money but that didn't stop from pursuing her as my friend. I casually started tot talk to her more slowly getting closer but she always seemed to push my grasp away wether it was with cold words or her precious baka gun. I slowly came to love Hotaru with all my heart she was like a sister to me but I settled with best friend we started a daily routine with my attempt at hugging her and being hit with her baka gun. I wasn't really stupid I was pretty smart in fact she's the only one in my class who's smarter than me but I think she calls me an idiot for my actions rather than my brains. Any who we became close friends as I like to say best friends but Hotaru would never deem me that but she never actually said she didn't so I stuck with her no matter what and I love her dearly.
Hotaru came from a middle wealth family and had plenty of money to get by so I figured her want for money was because she needed invention parts and doesn't feel it's worth bothering her parents for it. Hotaru was very mysterious to people because even though she has a full family with a brother, father, and mother she is cold it's not like she has a bad life. That's what I thought. One evening I was crying after a first week of school just behind the playground because mother couldn't come to parent introduction night. Hotaru saw me and came over pretty emotionlessly but said something with so much emotion.
Flashback in a Flashback (A/n: lol…just read)
Sobs and whimpers could be heard from behind the gaint orange slide at Kyoto kindergarten. The brunette couldn't help her mothers constant absence but she couldn't help crying anyway.
"Hey, baka. Why are you crying?" said an emotionless Hotaru
The girl sniffled and sobbed while saying "Hotaru, mother won't be coming to parent night. She's to busy for me. As usual." She whined and cried.
Hotaru was a little shocked at this. She always thought Mikan had the good life considering she smiled all the time. She had never actually met Mikan's family nor gone to her house. She felt a pang of guilt for being a little jealous of Mikan.
"Mikan, my parents can't come either they have to work too." Said Hotaru with a little bit of sympathy. She knew how Mikan felt, alone and uncared for.
"What about your brother?" Mikan said slowly lessening her sobs.
"My brother…" Hotaru hesitated she never liked her brother and he never liked her. "He used to beat me and my mother for power and strength he stopped after a while, but we still hate each other. It's like we disowned him. I couldn't care less if he died." Said Hotaru darkly with hair covering her eyes.
Mikan looked at Hotaru and understood she was hurt right now and decided not to ask more questions.
"Hotaru, you're my best friend. Thank you." Mikan said smiling as she whipped her tears.
Then Hotaru said something amazing "Then smile for me always, baka." She got up and walked away.

I got up and dusted myself after finishing my small mutters of ouch. Hotaru was standing there her Baka gun up on her hand like it was a hold-up.
"Baka, what are you doing here?" she said curiously with a little worry. She had noticed Mikan's bag and she was alone plus it was her birthday. Hotaru was alone too but it looked like she had a list of groceries in her hand.
Mikan looked truthfully at Hotaru she din't plan on lying to her. She also thought mabey Hotaru would let her stay with her for a while. Her mother was very nice to her when ever Mikan came over to visit Hotaru.
"I'm leaving her. She forgot about me for the last time." Said Mikan coldly.
"Mikan." Hotaru said shocked. She wondered 'How bad could it really be?'. She took Mikan's hand. "Mabey my mom will let you stay with us." Hotaru said concerned on where Mikan would go.
"Really Hotaru?" Said Mikan perking up.
"Hai." Said Hotaru.
Mikan and Hotaru first went shopping for groceries and then went to Hotaru's house. Once there Mrs. Imai was shocked but gladly let Mikan stay in the guest room and said she could stay as long as she wanted.
Hotaru walked into Mikan's new room to check if she was done unpacking which she was and was laying comfortably on the bed.
Mikan noticed Hotaru and decided to ask a question cautiously not to hurt Hotaru's feelings. "Um… Hotaru where is your brother?" she said quietly.
" A couple month's ago he went to a boarding school in Paris he won't be back for a long time." Said Hotaru emotionlessly.
"Okay, hey Hotaru you'll never leave me lonely, will you?" she asked as Hotaru was passing out the door. Hotaru stopped but kept her back turned.
"Never." Said Hotaru solemnly promising.
