Me: Well, it is that time again! A new story! Aren't you excited? Now I don't know how many of you have seen the movie or read the book called Memoirs of a Geisha, but that is what this fan fiction is based on. And if you haven't seen it, you should go see the movie, like right now!
Amu: It really is a good movie!
Ikuto: it's a chick movie.
Me: Have you seen it?
Ikuto: Yeah, I was forced to watch it with Utau.
Me: Okay, so what if I said that Amu would be playing the part of Chiyo/Sayuri and you would be playing the chairman?
Riku: He can't turn this down.
Ikuto: …
Me: Well if you don't want it, I could just give the part to Tadase…
Ikuto: that's okay. I want the part.
Me: What a change of heart! Thank you so much! Remember that I do not own Shugo Chara or Memoirs of a Geisha. (Oh and I will not be doing this story in first person p.o.v. sorries! And I am going to make up a character for her sister. Hana.)
This story that I am about to tell you is neither a happy nor a sad one. How a young geisha found her way in life and to her true love. How she had struggled even as a little girl. This is her story.
Amu woke up to see that her mother still lying in her bed. Her father was holding her little sister Ami. She had been born shortly before her mother had gotten sick. Many of the villagers believed that she had gotten sick because of her being born, but Amu knew that her sister could not have possibly caused her mother's illness.
Amu was quite the strange young girl. She had golden eyes, like her mother. She also had a sunny disposition, like her mother. People usually said that the sun had been her mother's mother. It was the opposite of Hana and her father, who had more brownish eyes compared to her golden eyes.
She went outside to start her chores as she usually did in the morning. Her sister had already started her chores. 'She must have gotten up early…' She walked up to the girl who was doing manual labor.
"Good morning, Hana-san."
"Amu-chan. Good morning. Start getting the water for breakfast and I will get the rice out from the back."
Amu nodded and went to the side of the house to get the bucket for the water that she needed for the rice. She got a little wary when she thought about the rice supply. It was bordering on danger and they had no money to buy any other supplies other than medicine for her mother and little sister. Her father was a fisherman, which was true. But now that her mother and her baby sister were suffering the same illness that no one knew anything about, they had to just guess by the symptoms.
Amu returned to the house with the bucket of water as her sister had returned with two cups of rice. She walked up behind her sister who was crouched down behind a cracked door. She put her finger to her lips signaling that she should be quiet so she could hear.
"So Mr. Hinamori. Are these terms agreeable?"
He hesitated and looked at his wife and sleeping baby daughter. Then he nodded his head. "Those are agreeable."
Hana looked at Amu with a smile in her eyes. "I think that man is going to find a way to help mommy. And then we can be a happy family again."
Amu smiled a wide grin. At the time, she really thought that she would be able to see her mother walking around. Not looking like a living corpse.
The two started working on breakfast, working fast, as to not give away that they were eavesdropping. They knew that if they were caught they would have gotten in big trouble. Children were not supposed to see things they were not meant to see.
Amu was woken up by the sound of rain. She looked at her mother and baby sister who were still sleeping miserably. She knew that it would just be a matter of time until her mother was well again. Hana was already up cleaning dishes out of the bucket they also used for water in general.
"Hana-san, you're up so early."
"Amu-chan. Before you came in yesterday, I heard that man say that he will be back tomorrow. I think that he will bring the medicine with him as well so we can treat mommy and Ami with the medicine. And they will get better." Amu's heart nearly leapt into her throat, she was so happy.
Amu's father walked around the house with a strange aura that day, as both Amu and Hana noted. He looked extremely depressed and somewhat tired, and he never concentrated on any of the work he had in front of him. Amu and Hana started getting worried.
That night as they were wishing good night to their mother and sister, their father started crying. He hugged them both tightly. "You girls must be strong. I love you so much."
They were puzzled, but they hugged him back.
The next day, the two were woken up early by their father. The two girls barely had time to react when they were pushed out of their house door into the arms of the man that was at their house earlier in the week. He took them by the arms and dragged them into a carriage. Screams to their father fell on deaf ears.
Amu held onto her sister as she was shaking with streams of tears running down her cheek. Hana just held her, refusing to cry. "May I ask? Where are we going?"
The man did not answer. Just grunted and sat quietly. Amu and Hana didn't speak for the rest of the trip. Both just stared quietly out of the windows, their imaginations wildly trying to spin tales and stories as to where they could be heading.
Ikuto: I didn't see my name in the story at all.
Me: That would be because you haven't been introduced yet.
Ikuto: Well that's dumb.
Me: -ignores Ikuto- I'm gonna have a hard time writing about how they get separated. I hated that part in the movie.
Amu: Me too.
Kat-chan: it was kinda sad.
Shiori-chan: Hey, where did Riku go?
Me: We are going to castle oblivion, I guess. He said he would meet me there.
Shiori-chan: And why are you going there.
Me: I'm in training. It's going to be fun.
Kat-chan: okay everyone! Please read and review!
Me: byes!
