Ryo walked around the house making sure everything was ready. His little cousin was coming today and he wanted everything to go as planed. Yuile had promised to watch out after her and not to be mean, he had become a hot head and was mean to the new kids at school. His cousin was going to be living with them for a year while her parents got their life back together. Ryo was pacing in front of the sofa waiting for Mia to get back with his cousin. White Blaze looked at him funny when he would start to mumble things like, 'she's late, Mia's NEVER late!' or 'did I get the right kind of food she likes?' Sage looked into the living room and shook his head. The phone rang and Ryo dove for it but Sage got it first.
"Hello Koji household, Sage speaking." Sage said. "Hey Mia, her plane landed late, ok bye." Sage hung up the phone. "Mia has her now don't worry they're on their way home." Sage said. Ryo nodded.
"Now I have to worry even more, Mia's driving her here." Ryo said ringing his hands. Sage chuckled and left the room while Ryo went back to checking everything. A half-hour later they heard a car pull up. The door opened and Mia stepped in with a young girl about 12. She had shoulder length blond reddish hair with bangs that fell perfectly across her forehead. Her hair was pulled back into a high pony tale. Her dark blue eyes were down cast looking at the bag she held in her hands. She had on a pair of light blue jean shorts and a light purple tank top that had a silver butterfly across the front. Ryo gapped at the little girl, she had grown and matured from the last time he saw her. She didn't look like she was 12, more like 15!!!
"Mia are you sure you got the right girl? She doesn't look 12." Kento said. Mia smiled.
"I'm sure Kento, this is Ryo's cousin Casey." Mia said. Mia placed a hand on the little girl's shoulder and Casey looked up at her. Mia nodded and took the bag from her hands. Casey looked over at Ryo and smiled. Ryo ran up to her and hugged her picking her up in the process.
"Hey squirt!" Ryo cried putting her down. She was about three or four inches shorter then him, which would make her 5'4" or 5'5".
"Hey." Casey chimed with a huge smile.
"What's going on in here?" A voice called as Yuile stepped in. He was now 12 and had grown taller, he was 5'6" and his hair was partied.
"Yulie this is my cousin Casey, she's from the US." Ryo said. "Casey this is Sai, Kento, Rowen and Sage." He pointed to the other Ronins. They all waved and Sage smiled at her. Casey rolled her eyes when he did. Sage gasped.
"She's got an attitude!" Sage said. The other snickered. Mia and Ryo glared at Sage and Casey just blew it off. She knew she had an attitude and she planed to keep it that way.
~ What idiots! ~ Casey thought. She gasped as White Blaze walked out from the living room.
"Don't worry Casey that's only White blaze, he doesn't bite." Ryo said.
"Uh huh." Casey said sacristy. Everyone chuckled.
"Well we betta get you unpacked, you start school tomorrow." Rowen said taking some of her bags. Casey gapped.
"School, already?!?! I just got here!" Casey cried.
"Well we already said you'd come in tomorrow, so you're going in tomorrow." Sage said. Casey was starting to dislike Sage already.
"This sucks." Casey muttered taking one of her bags and her backpack up to where Sage and Rowen took her other ones. Rowen and Sage left her room and she dropped her bags in shock. The whole room was Blue and silver. Her bed was a for post oak wood bed with a silver/white canapé. The sheets were silky blue. All her dressers were dark oak and she had a bay window that over looked the lake.
"This can't be my room." Casey said.
"Well it is." Casey turned around and saw Yuile leaning against the doorframe.
"Thanks for telling me." Casey said, she didn't like two people already. "Could you please leave so I can unpack?!?!"
"Yeah sure." Yuile moved out of the doorway and she shut the door loudly. Casey walked over to the bed and sat down. She cried out in fear as she sank into the waterbed. She laid back and let out a low sigh.
"What fun this is going to be!" Casey pounded the bed. A tear found it's way down her cheek. She ran her hand over her eyes to dry the tears. "I hate this, I never wanted to leave, why couldn't I just have stayed with Jessica?!?" Casey's voice broke out into sobs. ~ First mom and dad are fighting, then Jessica moves out, now I'm in Japan with my oldest cousin, WITHOUT any of my friends to help me out! I hate my life! ~ Casey's mind screamed. Jessica was her 18-year-old sister who had moved out when she was just turning 12. Casey was always falling asleep listing to her parents fighting and now she was in Japan while they tried to work things out. She pushed herself up off the bed and opened her biggest bag and started to unpack all her cloths. When it was almost 7:30pm she was done with her cloths, shoes and everything else. All she had to do was unpack her backpack. She unzipped it and pulled out her portable CD player and a lab top along with the cord to plug it in. She pulled out a thick journal and some milky pens. Her brush, some CDs, headphones, a full disk holder, and a small crystal orb. It had the kenji love/faith in it. She grabbed her purse and put the orb in it. "If they see that they'll freak." Casey said then looked up as someone rapped on her door.
"Come in!" Casey called putting her purse down. Sai popped his head into her room.
"Dinners ready." He said.
"I'm not hungry, thanks anyway though Sai." Casey said with a small smile.
"Ok, but if you're hungry later just tell me and I'll cook you something ok?" Sai said. Casey smiled and nodded. Sai left the room and she fell back on the bed. She turned on her side as a tear ran down her cheek.
@~~~~~~~~,~~~~~~~~~~~~~~'~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sai came back down without Casey. He had a worried look on his face.
"Where is she Sai?" Ryo asked.
"She wasn't hungry." Sai said.
"I wouldn't be earthier, food on the planes are gross and make me sick to my stomach." Sage said taking a bite of food. They others just chuckled and went on with their dinner.

Later that night Casey sat at her window watching the sunset. It was 9:00pm and it was almost dark. Someone knocked on her door and she cursed under her breath.
"Come on in!" Casey called. She looked over glad to see it was Mia and not one of the guys.
"Hey, what's up?" Mia asked shutting the door and walking over to her and sitting down next to her.
"Nothing just watching the sunset." Casey said looking back out the window.
"Yeah, it's breathing taking isn't it?" Mia said.
"Yeah it is." Casey said more of to her self. Mia noted a weird tone in her voice.
"Is something bothering you Casey?" Mia asked. Casey snapped her attention back to Mia and to reality.
"No, well not really, er.......I'm just a little upset." Casey said knowing Mia would be able to see right through her if she lied. "I just don't see why my mom and dad had to make me come all the way to Japan and not let me stay with my sister instead."
"I know how you feel." Mia said. "When my mother and father died I was sent to live with my grandfather."
"Really?" Casey said. Mia nodded. The last ray of orange light vanished behind all the trees.
"Well you better get some sleep, you're first day of school starts tomorrow." Mia said standing up and walking over to the door.
"Mia!" Casey called. Mia stopped with her fingers barely touching the glassy surface of the sliver doorknob. Mia turned around.
"Yeah?"
"Thanks."
"For what?"
"For telling me I'm not the only one who feels like this, for being my friend." Mia smiled warmly at Casey. She nodded her understandings.
"Good night Casey, sweet dreams." Mia shut the door behind her. Casey turned back to the window. She slid off the window seat and down to her lab top and opened it. Mia had helped her hook up the Internet on it earlier. She clicked on the AOL icon and started the Internet. She clicked on 'get mail' and found a message from her best friend Megan. She clicked it and read it.

Casey hit send and it went. She closed everything down and put the computer away. She changed into her PJs and walked down stairs and said goodnight to everyone.
@~~~~~~~~'~~~~~~~~~~~~~~,~~~~~~~
Casey jumped up out of bed as someone banged on her door.
"What?!" Casey yelled.
"C'mon! We're late!" Yuile called.
"OH MY GOSH!!!!! I TOTALLY FORGOT!!!!!" Casey screamed. She jumped out of her bed sending the sheets flying everywhere. She changed into her school uniform which was a white shirt with a blue skirt and black shoes that had two tiny straps cris-crossing with a one or two inch heel. She grabbed her hand held bookbag and ran out of her room after she brushed her hair and put it up. She ran out of the house and into Sage's black BMW and they took off.
