Okay just letting you all know that Tomo is Kanako's adopted name. However it will change as the story continues alright, just letting you guys know that alright.

It was all a dream practically, and maybe just fate, but she stopped believing in any of that mumbo jumbo a year ago...

"Ah yes, she looks just like a natural Urashima you know dear."

"I admit she does, and we've always wanted a daughter."

"Do you want to come home with us Tomo?" The shadows were talking to her. She wanted to leave the orphange, but what could actually be out there for her now. It was all toomuch for her. Maybe it would be nice too have a family again. The lady was rather pretty, but she had a wrinlke or two, the father lookedbroad and had a crew cut, a few scars were around his arm, but he had a fatherly gruff face. She nodded, and everything from there on was hazy.

Her new home was quite old fashioned, a white house, some brown along the window pane and a dream home for Tomo a 2 story house. It was a beautiful home, and she felt a little better about how things were turning so far.

"Okay Tomo, you can call me mom, but if you don't feel comfortable to call me that yet, just call me Risa." Risa grabbed her hand and they walked to the house.

"Likewise for me, but you can just call me Osuke."

"Okay..."

It was like an adeveture, but she was still very sad, deep in her heart. It just didn't seem right without her real mommy. She missed her a whole lot and was in utter misery while staying at the orphanage. Daddy and mommy were gone and it was all her fault...

"Well here we are Tomo, this is your new home!" Risa opened the door revealing a small living room that was filled with samurai pictures, pictures of sweets, and a big picture of them including a young man that she didn't know.

"Mom, dad, you guys home?" He walked down slowly from a staircase to the opposite side. He was scrawny, but he bore a baby face, maybe he was only a few years older than me... "Oh my, hello there."

He walked up closer to her patting her on the head. She wanted to yell at him but her quiet nature refused to do so. "That is your big brother Keitaro the useless." Osuke laughed outloud patting Keitaro's back before leaving her side.

"So whats your name?" He raised a hand to shake, but she ignored it and did a small bow, barely whispering her name. "What was that?" He had a wide smile, and it nearly pissed her off.

"Tomo..."

"Tomo? Thats a really cute name you know, I bet it was your mommy that gave you that name." It was true, her mother had given it to her, it was far better than Lisa.

"Keitaro show her to her new room." Osuke yelled out.

"Okay come with me Tomo." He grabbed her hand and led her upstairs, it was so spacious and gorgeuos. But is seemed that wherever she turned there was something very fragile. These people seemed to enjoy some of the most lavish things in life. Too bad, she wasn't in the least that way. "Look Tomo this is your room." The second she turned the corner, she hated her room, it was pink, screw that it was hot pink. There was absolutely no way that she could live in a place like this. "Don't worry about the color, mom and dad are gona have it painted blue tomorrow, pink really hurts my eyes."

"I like blue."

"So do I Tomo." His room was next to hers, it was decorated with assortments of Anime, a Liddo-kun poster was in the back, his guy freinds might have laughed at him for having it, it was more of a childs show for girls. There a computer still running Diablo and he bed was a mess, reminded her of her own parents. Dad liked to play games, and mom was into much anime... She was kind of into anime, but games were not within her skills.

"So what do you think so far Tomo?" What was there to think, I hadn't really done anything yet and this was not family bonding.

"Guess what we're gona do tomorrow Tomo!"

"Paint my room?"

"No," he patted her head again. "I like how your hair looks like. It almosts looks as if your trying to hide your face from the world. Wish I could do the same with my grades you know."

"Baka."

"What did you say Tomo?"

"Absolutely nothing Keitaro."

"Well anyways, we're gona be going over to Grandma Hinata's Inn!"

"Who's that?"

"She's really nice, she owns an inn around Tokyo. We can go ver there for a week and spend time with her."

"Oh..." Tomo walked off downstairs, trying to find anything else she could about the house. Everything was kinda flashy, but she didn't care about money in the least, her life was kind of at a stand still. Downstairs was just like up top, sofas scattered along the place, a few lamps and maybe another picture.

"Look at these Tomo, we brought some candy from the confectionary! Try some of this." Risa literally shoved it into her mouth, too bad they didn't know that she hated sweets just yet. She started to hate them more and more as she crammed assorted types of chocolates down her throat.

"Hey mom calm down a bit, I think you gave her a bit too much."

"You can never have too much, besides she is so skinny, she could gain a few pounds this way." She looked back down at Tomo and she had a wide sense of fear growing in the pit of stomach. Maybe it was just the candy but she knew one thing for sure, she was about to throw up, before she knew it though, Keitaro had already picked her up and brought he to the bathroom toilet. She hurled feeling the gushing chocolate leave her system.

"Hahaha, I guess that I got pretty lucky didn't I." He started patting her back and it felt alright to have somebody by her side again. "I'm gona make an obvious guess, you hate sweets..." Tomo nodded. "Well thats ironic that you ended up with a family that runs their confectionary.

"You guys have your own confectionary?"

"No, we have our very own confectionary." He was already accepting her into family, and it was pretty neat. She had hardly known him for 10 minutes and she was feeling like she had some family.

"Hmm she hates sweets... I'm sorry dear I didn't really know."

"Its okay Sara." Keitaro started to walk off, but she didn't want him to leave her side just yet. She grabbed the bottom of his shirt...

"Oni-chan..."

"Oh my, it seems that she has taken more of a liking into Keitaro."

"Oh cmon, now, you can just call me Keitaro."

"Oni-chan, can we get something to eat, I'm pretty hungry." She held onto her stomach with her other hand, she hadn't eaten at all today, she wasn't in the mood for a veggie breakfast.

"Hey mom can I take her over to McDonalds?"

"Oh sure, but I was hoping that she'd like to have a home cooked meal for her first night." She frowned looking down at her.

"At the orphanage, we never have any type of take-out." It was true, it had been nearly an entire year, and all they ever did was cook, things without that much meat, she was starting to crave for some type of meat.

"Really dear?" She pulled out a thousand yen, handing it all to Keitaro,"Just be back by 5 alright Keitaro." It was only 2'o clock still.

"Sure, I can use this chance to show her around town." Tomo looked around the house a bit more as Keitaro put on his shoes, she had forgotten to take her's off. It seemed really nice to be living here.

"So how old are you Tomo?" He took her hand and they walked to the door.She wasn't really a baby.

"I'm 10 years old."

"Oh, well I'm 15 years old." He let go of her hand, he probably realized that she was too old to be holding hands. But she grabbed his hand back, and they made their way to her first fast food resturaunt in nearly a year.
