Kakara
One nice summer day I was just strolling along depressed as always. My name is Kiriay Urameshi, Kiri for short. I've lived with my dad for as long as I can remember and for all I know I could be some kind of demon. You see my parents got divorced when I was really, really little just about 6, maybe 7.
When my parents got divorced my dad took me and my mom took my seven year old brother, Yusuke. I don't remember my mom or my brother and haven't seen them in seven years. That was a long time ago. Now I'm fourteen years old. I'm on my way to go to my mother's house. It's been 3 years since my dad died and I had just heard the news that my older brother, Yusuke, had died also. I have a really crappy life as you can tell.
The only family I have left is my mom and I have been hiding away from her ever since my dad died. I hate my mom but now I have to live with her because the police finally caught me and are sending me on an airplane to live with her. I don't talk much because I've never had someone to talk to besides my friend, Rikku. I only see her once in a blue moon, so the ride to my mom's was silent.
When I finally got off the plane, my mother was there. Soon she had me embraced in a hug that I had to return or we would get in a big fight. I got my stuff and my mom loaded it into the car. As soon as we were on the road, she started to ask me questions like, "How old are you," and, "What have you been doing all these years." The only trouble she has is knowing when to shut up!
"What do you think of Yusuke dying?" my mom asked suddenly. I replied quietly, "I didn't really know him so there was nothing to cry about, except the fact that I didn't get to know him well enough." She new I missed him a lot, but didn't really want to talk about it. So, instead, she continued with more questions, to which I tried to answer as politely as I could.
Finally after almost 2 hours of questions we got to the house where I am going to live. It is a lot bigger than what I'm used to, but I think I'll figure it out pretty quickly. So as soon as I unloaded my things my mom showed me around the house. After the tour she left me to unload my things in my new room.
My new room was kind of a blue color. As for furnishings, there is a bunk bed, a bookcase full of old books, a dresser, a computer, a couch, a TV. And a bedside table with a picture of my mom and Yusuke. I looked around at everything and then started to unpack first starting with my clothes. After I was done unpacking clothes I looked through the closet to see if I could find anything worthwhile. I found lots of boxes that had most of Yusuke's stuff, and some shelves.
So I got the shelves, spent about half an hour putting them up in the closet, and putting my toys on top of them. Then I started on the boxes full of Yusuke's things. Judging from the pictures I found the room I am staying in was Yusuke's old room. After sorting through the boxes I placed some of his stuff around the room. Just then my mom called me down for dinner.
As I went downstairs I heard someone mumbling about something, but I ignored it thinking it was just my imagination. "I need you to pick up some things for me tomorrow. Here is a list for you," my mom said as she handed me a list, "It will also give you a chance to get to know the community." "Okay," I answered. We ate dinner in silence.
After I was finished I asked to be excused, thanked her, and went back up to my room. When I got upstairs I sat on the bottom bunk and took the picture of Yusuke and some of his friends from the bedside table. I stared at it a while, then set it back down next to the picture of Yuske and my mom. "He looks nice enough," I thought.
I kept thinking about him until I fell asleep. In the morning I woke up at the sound of Yusuke's alarm in the closet. So I got up and went into the closet to turn it off. When I turned it off I took it out and put it on the end table beside the bed. "It is 9:00 so I can't go back to sleep," I thought, "So I'll just get started on that list." So I got dressed, ran downstairs, grabbed a piece of toast, and wrote my mom a note.
When I was out of the house I took the list out of my pocket to take a look at what on it. "Let's see," I said to myself, "I need eggs, milk, bread, soda, and salami. I could get that at a grocery store. Only if I new where on was." So I started off down the street towards town. As I passed a broken down factory I felt a power that I have never felt before.
I looked around to see if anyone was there, when no one was there I broke in the factory. Suddenly I saw a shadow that soon disappeared. So I went farther in, turning the corners ever so careful. Again I saw the shadow for a split second before it disappeared. So I turned the last corner and found myself facing a green pool of something.
