Chapter 1: Road to Home

And i am here... Again.

The place is located just outside Tokyo. Though near the city, the environment here is serene and peaceful. Few houses and mostly large estates can be seen along the main street. Standing outside the gate of the stone walled estate, i gather enough courage to buzz and wait for somebody to answer. I always think of this place as my home, though my stay here is short lived. My memories of childhood, while growing up, and up until i decided to be independent. Or rather forced to be independent. The white stone walls standing high, though slightly weathered, still looks elegant in its own way. The gates are still tall and intimidating, with all those intricate details, and the sign that says "FUJINO ESTATE". 'It's been a long time.' i said to myself.

A buzzing sound took me out of my reverie, and a voice coming from the speaker box aking for my name and intention.
"Hi, i am Natsuku, and i am here for Mrs. Saeko Fujino."

"You're who?" the man asked again. "Natsuki Kruger.." becoming more impatient "Listen, can you just let me in. You know its kinda cold here and i'm near freezing."... 'god, can't they move a little faster'.. and a click was heared indicating that the gates are opened.

The path towards the mansion is quite a view. 'Still the same pebbled walkway i used to run onto, with all those trees and flowering plants, so beatiful. i think i missed so much.'.. My mind takes me back to my childhood memories of this place, when everything is easy and all situations are light. Running around the whole estate with my brothers, playing all day, bonding. Yes i have 3 brothers. They treated me like one of them, not the princess type like my parents always does. But i'm happy. Everything back then is my perfect world.

Breathing in some air, i walk up the steps and said to myself "This is it. There's no turning back.".. With that said i raised my hand to knock.

Please rate and review. I know this is kinda short, but it will be longer in the next chapters. PLEASE... THANKS...
