This was it. The day my life here ended. I knew this day was coming. Looking back on my life, I think everyone did. They knew the day would come when my life here in America ended and my life in Japan would start. Although I didn't think I was going to have the respect of my mother or my teachers for going.
"Kotono.." My mother said trying to fight the tears welding up in her beautiful blue eyes. I looked over at my mom. Her long blonde hair was in a bun sitting messily on top of her head. She and I had gotten little to no sleep last night. She had thrown me a giant going-away party. All my friends, teachers, and family were there.
"Mom." I said pushing my long brown hair behind both my ears as I often did when I was sad. "I promise I will call you and send pictures!I can also-" I was abruptly cut off by my mom running into my arms. She held me close, the tears streaming down her cheeks and making my face all wet.
I wrapped my arms tightly around my moms small frame as she held me as tightly as she could. I let out a small sigh and began to rub her back. She began to weep as she cried in my arms.
"Kotono." She whimpered out between cries. I laughed softly and just held her.
"Mom, i'll be fine. I have had the best training and I can handle myself. I'm almost an adult now. I can't keep my quirk to myself anymore. There are so many people I can help." I said as my mom peeled herself off of my shoulder. Her face was stained red from tears.
"I know sweetie, but Japan!? Why can't you go with your cousin to Texas, or New York?" She said wiping her tears away with a tissue.
"Mom, you know I can't stay away from Japan forever. They have the best hero school in the world and I've done all I can here." My mom looked at me with a defeated look. She knew I was right. I had outgrown the United States. I was already a teacher at one of the best schools in the country, and only at the age of 16. It was time I started to learn again and met people with my same skill set.
I turned my head towards the window where I looked out and saw a small plane. It was my flight to Japan and it would be leaving shortly. My blue eyes traced the shape of the wings on the plane as my heart began to race. I was so anxious and ready to step foot in Japan. My head turned back to my mom. She was looking out the window the same as I was. She trembled slightly as the last few tears left her eyes.
"Besides." I said Boldly as my mother turned her head towards me. "Dad will be there. I have nothing to worry about!" I said smiling. My mom chuckled softly wiping the last tears away. She smiled at me and grabbed me for another hug. I hugged her tightly as she stroked my hair.
"You're right darling." My mom said. You could here the smile in her voice as she said that. She knew I would be alright. After all I had some of the greatest hero's as parents. "Remember to bring your dad a gift for me when you see him." My mom said as she let me go. "Please make sure you make sure to call me regularly. Call me when you land." My mom said. I smiled and hugged her one last time. It was time to leave and I could't wait to get on the plane.
My heart raced as I stepped foot on the plane. My feet were planted firmly planted on the stairs of the plane. I was so excited and I couldn't stop smiling. My right hand grasped a gold locket on a thin gold chain. I turned my head and looked up to where my mom was waiting at the airport. She was waving and smiling at me. My fingers rubbed the locket as i used my other hand to wave at her.
I began to finish my short walk up the stares of the plane. As I got into the plane I was met by a stewardess. She handed me a bottle of water and told me to pick any seat on the plane. The place where I was staying in Japan had gotten me a private plane to get to my new home. No doubt it was my dad's doing.
I began my walk down the aisle, my hand brushed against one on the plane seats and a smile was plastered on my face. I looked down the aisle to the end of the plane where a door began to open. I squinted to focus as the door creaked open revealing not only a bathroom but a very familiar face. My mouth opened into the biggest smile as I saw who was in front of me. His long dark hair and gloomy face were a very odd yet familiar to me.
"Aizawa!" I screamed as the door to the plane closed behind me. This was the first step to an unknown and amazing journey.
