Winter was always my favorite time of the year. The shape the snowflakes were, the way they fell, oh so slowly and caught my hair. Now I hate winter, I loathe it. This Particular Winter is when my family died.

It was today that my family died in an Accident. Well it's actually just my mom and baby sister. My dad died when I was little so I don't remember him much. but I was at school when my principle got the phone call. "Hello? This is the principle." The principle said into the phone. "Ah! hello. This is the police chief Kanami from sanjuki." The man on the other end answered. "Oh, Hello Mr. Kanami what services do I owe the pleasure?" the principle asked me a ghastly fashion. "Ah, yes this is a call about a Ms. Taniyama?" he asked. "Mai Taniyama? Am I correct Mr. Kanami?" the principle asked. "Yes. That is correct." Mr. Kanami said to the principle. "Might I ask what is needed of her?" the principle asked. "Ms. Taniyama's Mother Kokiko and Her little sister Nakagi Died in a mugging this morning at (9:58 am)" Mr. Kanami said sadly because he knew my family for at least a decade.
"Oh my god. Okay I'll call her down do you want to talk to her?" The principle asked. "Yes, that would be nice if you don't mind." Mr. Kanami said back to My Principle. The principle set the phone down and swiveled in his chair towards the announcer. He clicked the blue button. "Pardon me for the announcement. Can I please have Ms. Taniyama report to my office? I repeat can Ms. Taniyama please report to my office thank you." The principle said finishing the announcement and turning back to the phone and not a minute later I walked into the office and saw the principle on the phone with somebody. "You called me sir?" I asked and the principle looked up from the phone and motioned me to come over. I walked over to him and sat down. "Ms. Taniyama there is a caller here for you. I'm going to step outside so u have time." he said and I looked at him confused but he said nothing to me just exited the office.

I picked up the phone and pressed it to my ear. "H-Hello?" I asked nervously. "Hi Mai." said the other person on the phone. "KANAMI!" I yelled into the phone excitedly. "Is there something wrong" I asked because he didn't reply to me? "Mai it's about Kokiko and Nakagi." he said with a sad tone and I felt tears build up in my eyes. "Y-yeah? Is there something wrong with them?" I asked the tears almost flowing. "Mai they were killed in a mugging today at 9:58 Am." he said and my dam broke as the tears flowed down my face. "Thank you for telling me Kanami I appreciate it thank you." I said and set the phone back on the receiver. I stood up and walked out of the office. I bowed to the principle and walked back to my classroom. "MAI OMG ARE YOU OKAY?!" my friend Takagao asked me and I just shook my head and walked over to my desk and grabbed my stuff I walked to the front of the class and went to my teacher Mr. Hiroki Kamijo. "Where are you going Mai?" he asked me a serious look on his face? I whispered in his ear and is eyes grew wide and he let me go home for the day.
I walked in my house and said "I'm home." but I said it to no one. I walked into my living room and sat down on the couch. I sat there for what felt like hours and I slowly drifted to sleep. A few hours later I heard knocking on my door. I got up slowly and made my way to the door and opened it, and outside my door was Kanami Breathing hard and shallow. "Kanami?" I asked slowly and he rushed through the door and hugged me. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry!" he said in my shoulder and we both came down to the ground he sat there sobbing in my shoulder and I stroked his hair and back soothing him. But when I noticed something I stopped. Kanami fell asleep. I lifted him somehow and put him on my couch I walked back over to the front door and closed it I then walked upstairs and grabbed a blanket. When I finished everything I needed to do up stairs I came back down and set the blanket down on the back of the couch instead of on Kanami because I noticed he still had his coat on so I walked over to him and bent down. I lifted him up and pulled his coat off and then his shoes and he fell limply back down on the couch.
I grabbed the blanket again and covered him up. Making my way to the kitchen I flipped the fridge open and grabbed some ingredients and started to make dinner. When I finished making dinner I sat down and ate it. I was going to wake Kanami but he looked exhausted so I let him sleep and covered his dinner in tin foil and I went upstairs to my room. About at 6 I woke up and went down stairs Kanami was awake and watching TV then he turned towards me. "Your awake." he said standing up and walking over to me as I was rubbing my eyes. He put his hand on my head and I looked up at him. "You know I've been thinking how about you come live with me Mai?" He asked me and I looked at him with shock. "I live alone have plenty money to support both of us I have 3 rooms and 2 bathrooms. You're more than welcome to live with Me." he said seriously. Happy tears escaped my eyes and I hugged him. "Thank you Kanami." I said and we hugged for a few minutes then we separated. "Go get packed and get some funeral clothes to the funeral is in 3 months." He said and I shook my head and ran up the stairs. I went into my room and threw a bunch of clothes into my suitcases and put on my favorite shoes. Then I walked back down stairs to Kanami who was waiting for me by the front door. We exited the house and disappeared into the wakening dawn.
