Life of the Samurai: Call me Del
-Leaving-
"Hello?"
"Hello, yes. Tomorrow!"
Shock. She doesn't want to believe that I have to leave her so soon.
"She's not ready. Are you positive the others won't mind one more?"
Denial. She doesn't want to let me go since I'll be gone for such a long time.
"Okay, goodnight, brother."
She was defeated by her younger brother; through the phone.
"So, I'm leaving for the Shiba House tomorrow, right?" I asked my mother who had just got off the phone with her brother. She whipped around to find me in the living room's entryway.
"Yes. He said it is necessary that you are there by tomorrow in the afternoon… Are you sure you want to go? If you don't want to go I can tell him you got sick so you can fin-"
"No. I will leave tomorrow morning. It's my duty; I've already got my ticket, so Mom… please don't worry about me and worry about Kyle. He needs you more than I do."
She sighed; I've defeated her hopes of me staying a bit longer. We both knew my destiny is sealed like my great grandmother's but it's not too late for me to change it. She stood and walked over to me to give me one of her bear hugs.
