Narashima Rose
Chapter
One
Dixie grabbed her belongings and followed Reiko into the car. The flight to Japan from Texas was a long one and it felt good to finally be off of that plane. This was Dixie's first time in Japan and Reiko had so many things she wanted to show her. Reiko's father Mr. Hinomoto wanted to meet this Dixie Reiko kept babbling about. All he knew about her was that Dixie and Reiko were friendly rivals.
To anyone who didn't know them the giddy girls looked like best friends. They might as well be if they're going to travel that far to visit each other. Most people would have just kept the friendship to being just pen pals. For Dixie and Reiko the idea wasn't too far fetched. As they arrived at the Hinomoto house Dixie was starting to feel nervous.
She soon was going to step into the house of her idol the late Kamikaze Rose. Dixie's friendship with Reiko had nothing to do with Kamikaze, but the fact can't be ignored. Dixie would like to tell Reiko what's wrong but now's not the time for it. Reiko and her family had to adjust living without Kamikaze Rose and bringing her up would probably sadden her.
It was a beautiful estate and in a nice neighborhood. Upon entering Dixie had to remember what it says in her travel guide. The Japanese removed their shoes when entering the homes as to not damage the tatami mat floors (or at least that's one reason). When in Rome you do as the Romans and respect the differences in the culture from your own.
"I'm home!" Reiko says to alert her father while Dixie unlaces her boots. Mr. Hinomoto comes into acknowledge the girls. Dixie looks just as Reiko described her. "Hmm well that didn't take long. Welcome home Reiko." says Mr. Hinomoto now turning to Dixie. "Ms. Clemets it's nice to finally meet you." Dixie is in awe of him, for a reason she really can't tell Reiko. No one wants to hear her father is hot.
As Dixie is about to extend out her hand Reiko grabs it. "Huh?" Reiko puts up one finger as if she's about to start instructing Dixie. First she has Dixie hands inter locked and held in front of her. Then she makes sure Dixie is standing straight up. And last Dixie can now complete the full motion. "Oh," Dixie exclaims slightly embarrassed.
"It's nice to meet you Mr. Hinomoto," said Dixie as she bowed to him. Mr. Hinomoto laughed. "The pleasure is all mine. So Reiko are you still taking Dixie to that baseball game?" he asked. "Dad," Reiko whined. "It was supposed to be a surprise!" Mr. Hinomoto had forgotten it was a secret. "Oh yes Reiko I'm sorry I forgot you wanted to surprise her."
Dixie was surprised. "Reiko you like baseball?" she asked. "Yep but its more fun to play then it is to watch. I thought you would want to go and see a game since you said you liked sports." Reiko replied. "Oh sure that sounds like a lot of fun," Dixie smiled. Reiko was delighted. "Good so lets put your bags away and get to the stadium."
As they did Dixie got her things and placed them in a guest bedroom. The house looked huge from the outside but so the small rooms surprised Dixie a little. As well as the futon bed in the closet but that's fine because with all the things Reiko had planned to do, Dixie and Reiko won't be spending too much time in the house at all.
While exiting the house Dixie noticed all the different photographs around the house, many of them of Kamikaze Rose. Just your average happy family, Dixie thought. And with all that's happened its sad to know what torn them apart. "Dixie! Come on! You don't want to miss the game do you?" Reiko called. Dixie snapped out of her trance and smiled on her way to the awaiting car.
