Chapter 1

Passports and Translations

Two months to go.

Only two more months, and school will be done for the year.

I ought to be excited.

Problem is, I hate summer vacation. Sitting around, doing nothing, for three months.

Boring. I hate it.

Problem is, I'm not hating it.

I'm excited.

Because I'm in Japan.

These are the thoughts that passed through the mind of sixteen-year-old Nethaniel Kyle Bleu as he disembarked his flight to mainland Japan. Soon, he and his half-sister, Destiny Danielle Hazel, would be on a ferryboat to an outlying island, where he and his sister would be going to school on an exchange program. He wasnt to excited about Japanese schooling. What he was excited about was lots of arcades in Tokyo, and Japanese marching season. Looking around him, he spotted a tall, thin man in a black suit, with a large card bearing their names on it. Nudging his sister to come with him, he walked over to the man. He bowed in greeting and conversed slightly with the man in Japanese, before being motioned to follow him. He followed the man outside the airport, sister behind him, to a taxi ready to take them to the port. Thanking the man, he hunched down and sat in the back seat of the cab.

The cab pulled out and drove quietly to the port. They were mostly silent, except for noting some landmarks to one another. The compact vehicle stopped at a large dock. Clearing his throat and readying himself, he prepared his Japanese linguistics and bid the man farewell.

"Here, sir, thank you very much," Nethaniel said.

"No problem, young man, it's my job," he replied happily, possibly because he was seldom given thanks for his work.

"Sayonara," Nethaniel spoke with a bit of a laugh, paying the man and exiting the car. He pointed at a large boat and spoke to his sister. "Hitomi, thats the one that will take us to..." he pulled an index card from his pocket, "...Destiny Islands."

"Why do you insist on calling me that?" Destiny asked him as they walked through the crowd of people to the boat.

"It's Japanese for Destiny," he replied with an air of intelligence, "plus I think it sounds good."

"Whatever," she replied back as they walked the ramp onto the boat.

Within an hour they were leaving the boat behind. Nethaniel once again pulled the index card from his pocket. It had all of their travel directions mapped out on it. "From here, it says, we head off to Gabbiani Boulevard. It's a good three miles, so we should get another cab. we began walking toward this Gabbiani Boulevard until we spotted a cab, about two blocks down. We flagged it down and got a ride. When they got to that street, Nethaniel let him go, to avoid blowing the last of their money, and they began to walk. He looked at the card, again.

"What next?" Destiny asked.

"Look for the school," Nethaniel replied curtly. They walked down the road, but it wasnt long before they spotted the school, which was enoromous.

"We couldn't have missed it," Destiny remarked.

She and Nethaniel walked up the front pathway into the main office. Centered near the front of the room was a large desk, with a plaque bearing the name "Ms. Gainsborough." Behind the desk was a thin woman with long hair, braided in the back and lifted up in the front. She was writing something, but as she spotted Nethaniel, she stopped.

"Good day, children," she said cheerily, "What can I do for you?"

"We're here to enroll," Destiny said. "We're the exchange students, Destiny and Nethaniel."

"Ahh, yes, I heard," She replied. "I'm Aeris Gainsborough, and I'm head registrar and guidance counsellor."

"Yes, we're here to get our schedules for the remainder of the semester," I stated to her.

"Of course, of course," she said merrily. She did a bit of digging about on her desk. "Ah, here. I printed these earlier."

She handed them envelopes with their names on them.

"Inside those is your schedules and keys to your dorms. Your roomates have already been informed of your arrival and will expect you to be there after class. You have the day off, to get comfortable with the campus. Any questions?"

"No, ma'am," Nethaniel spoke sincerely, "Thank you, Ms. Gainsborough."

"Certainly, young man," She smiled, "Let me know if you need anything.

"Oh, we will," Destiny replied with a bit of spirit, before they left the room.

Nethaniel opened his envelope, his sister did the same, and looked at school maps, with their dorms circled. "We're on opposite ends of the campus," Nethaniel sighed.

"Don't worry, Neth," His sister replied with his little pet name, "We'll see each other after classes and in our free time. Its gonna be wierd not fighting with each other all the time."

"Yeah," Neth groaned. "Gonna be really wierd. Well, I'm gonna get to my room, drop my stuff, see what's up around here. I love you."

"Love you," Destiny said back as they separated. Neth started up his path, searching for his dorm building. When he found Wallace Hall, he turned and entered the building. Looking down at the silver tag on his key, he followed its number and took the elevator. There was a rumbling as the elevator arrived. Neth stepped in and looked down at the panel. There were five buttons, and he pressed the third floor button. The door slid closed and the elevator rose up. Seconds later he disembarked and walked down the hall two doors, and stopped.

"Room 22," He said to himself, "Here goes...".

He slid the key into the lock. It clicked quietly as it hit the hilt, and twisted. The tumblers also gave an audible click as the door swung open. Neth walked in, and surveyed the room. There were three beds, and a desk across the room. One bed was clean and made up. Then, the bunk bed on the other side of the room was the opposite. It wasn't made up, and clothes lay spread all over both top and bottom bunks. Neth crossed the room and laid his key and schedule on the desk. Just as he did, the door slammed shut. Neth jumped in surprise, and turned to see what was going on.

"Welcome to Destiny Islands High, roomie..."
