April 30 - 2:21 A.M

"We are now landing at Tokyo National Airport please stay seated until the plane has landed."

"EEEE!!" a shrill fangirlish scream ran through plane 401 as it landed at Tokyo, Japan's National Airport. That would be me and my friend Alice's scream to be exact.

We were landing at Tokyo's Airport after a long 16 hour flight from California to Japan. The reason? Simple, our classes won a trip to Tokyo, Japan for 2 whole months! You see, there was a contest in the U.S that only Junior High Students could enter in. If you got chosen then you and your class would go to Japan for 2 months. Once you were in Japan, you would stay at a Japanese families house for that while and go to school too, so you know, when you get back you don't fail the finals exam and have to repeat the grade. Anyways, yeah, 5 classes were picked, and just our luck! We happened to be one of them! Well, 3 of them to be exact. My class from Arizona (grade 7), my friend Alice's(grade 7) and my other friends Chou, Matt, and Jacob(grade 8) from California, then there was another one from New York, and the last was from Alaska? Or was it from New Jersey? Eh, whatever doesn't matter.

"We are in Japa-an! We are in Japa-an!" Alice and I sang repeatedly over and over swinging from side to side.

Jacob and Chou were sitting across the isle from us grinning like crazy, which was something Chou did not so often but for her it was great to come 'home'. Matt was sitting behind us probably with a pissed off expression due to our constant singing. "Oh god. Will you both shutup?! Please for the love of god!" he complained covering his ears with his hands.

"Awwww is the loner getting mad?" I teased smirking all-the-while.

He growled at us with a glare. It looked like he was gonna bite us. He better not, or I'll bite him back 2 times harder. I was brought out of my giggling when a swift kick to the back of my chair made my body jerk forward. "Rawr betch!" I shouted which made some other junior high students turn and stare.

Alice and Jacob were laughing at our little cat fight when the 'intercom lady', as I called her, spoke again. "We have now fully landed at Tokyo National Airport enjoy your stay."

We all unbuckled our seat belts and grabbed our backpacks and exited the plane. I couldn't see anything except for a million shining lights which was more than I really saw in Arizona or California. I stepped down the stairs followed by Alice, Chou, Jacob and Matt. We all stepped into the airport and were met with many other students along with lots of japanese people holding up names of students in english writing.

"Waah! This might be the last time we see each other for 2 months!" Alice suddenly called.

"Yeah, unfortunately." Chou replied sighing.

"Hah! You'r kidding, this means I get a vacation from you loudmouths. " Matt announced, but of course we knew he didn't mean it.

Matt says stuff and all to bug us that some people would probably take seriously but we we don't cause we know he doesn't mean it. I mean he's rarely ever serious, probably more 'I'm emo now so go away and let me be or shut the fuck up' kind of mood.

"So who's going where again?" Jacob asked his short memory kicking in.

"I'm going to Rikkai Dai with you." Chou simply stated.

"Uh Yamabuki." Matt said crossing his arms over his chest.

"Hey did you know Yamabuki means Wild Rose in japanese?" I commented.

"Yupp, it's like the thousandth time you mentioned it." he droned.

"Oh... really?" I thought about it for a second, did I really mention it that much? ...I guess I did. "Ohhh! Yeah I guess I did." I laughed lightly at my blonde moment.

"I'm going to Seishun!" Alice beamed.

"Bleh." I stuck my tounge out at her. "Yeah you lucky fuckin' duck you get to see Ryoma first!"

She giggled at my childishness. "Jealous Tori?"

"Very. Anyways and I'm going to Hyotei Gakuen. The so-called 'school for rich kids' by Ryoma." I said placing a hand on my hip.

We starting walking over to the conveyor belt looking for our luggage. "That means you're probably going to stay with some rich kid. Lucky." Matt snorted.

"No! they could- well uuummmm... Oh shutup!" I huffed, Matt smirked in victory.

I spotted by green suitcase and grabbed it pulling it beside me. Alice grabbed her pink one and Matt his red one. "I can't see mine." Jacob simply said. "What if someone else grabbed it?"

"Jacob it has your name on the tag." Chou sighed.

"Well... what if someone else has the same name as me?!" he pointed out.

"Doubt it." Chou and I said in unice.

"It's right there oh blind one." Matt pointed at a luggage just appearing from behind the black flaps of the conveyor belt.

"Oh." Jacob grabbed his luggage and scratched his black hair letting out a big yawn. "Man am I tired."

"Well it is 2:47 in the morning." I said flipping my purple Wooo cell phone open. Yes, 'Wooo' is a type of cell phone... well thats a nickname for it, it's actually called the Hitachi W53H, sweet phone really.

"It would be 10:47 AM in California right now." Alice said now flipping her pink razr cell phone out.

"Holay too early there." I commented. We all shared a laugh.

Chou grabbed her purple suitcase and finally commented, "Well I think it's time we should be going our seperate ways now."

"Aww man." I sighed.

"We can always text each other on our cells." Alice said being optimistic, "And besides all of our schools have tennis teams so on of our teams is bound to go to another one of ours."

"Alice is right!" Jacob shouted. "So for now we gotta pull through!"

"You make it sound like we're going through a life changing event." Chou said in a montone.

Alice and I giggled. "Whelp ciao peeps Im outta here text me tomorrow a'ight? And remember speak your best japanese!" the mocking 'yes mom' replies made me laugh, "LOVE YA'LL!!" I cried pulling my suitcase with me as I blew kisses back at my friends seeing them wave goodbye and parting as well.

I looked around through the crowd of people. I'm surprised there's still so many people here. I then saw my name being held up by an old guy who looked like... a butler. Oh man maybe Matt was right... maybe who am I kidding he is right! I walked over to the old man and shyly spoke up, switching my vocabulary to japanese. "Um... Konnichiwa. Watashi wa Tori Ebony desu." I bowed.

"Ahh Miss Ebony douzo yoroshiku." he bowed politely as well. "Watashi wa Willis desu. I will be chauffeuring to the Oshitari Estate. Please follow me." Willis? That doesn't exactly sound like a japanese name but whatever.

"Hai." just as I was going to follow a butler came out of nowhere and grabbed my suitcase. "Al... right then."

I followed Willis to the vehicle which happened to be-?! Thats right none of than a black limousine. They placed my suitcase in the trunk and Willis opened the door for me allowing me to step in. The seats were red leather and the rug was red as well. It has a bunch of wine glasses hanging and wine bottles too. It would be fuckin' hilarious to get hammered in this. It was about 15 maybe 19 minutes till we stopped and the door revealing the Oshitari Estate ahemmansioncough. They got my suitcase and escorted me into the mansion. When I walked in it was B-E-A-U-T-F-U-L!! Porcelain white floors and walls with beautiful painting here and there along with an exotic vase by the staircase. 2 people then came through what I thought to be the living room. One was a teenage looking girl with midnight blue hair who looked around 16 to 17 and a boy with blue hair and glasses.

"Konnichiwa I presume your Tori Ebony?" the she said.

"Ano... hai. Watashi wa Tori Ebony desu. Douzo yoroshiku." I bowed politely.

"Douzo Yoroshiku." she bowed back. "Watashi wa Shizune Oshitari desu. And this is my brother Yuushi Oshitari." she introduced smiling.

(I don't know what Yuushi's older sisters name is so Im just gonna call her Shizune. Btw he does have an older sister... or so I read on wikipedia)

"Douzo yoroshiku. Hajimemashite." he bowed back smiling.

I smiled back. "Hai, genki desu. Anata wa?" I questioned.

"Likewise." he replied.

"Unfortunately our parents are on a business trip and won't be back for some time but please make yourself at home Tori-chan." Shizune offered.

"Arigatou gozaimasu Shizune-san." I bowed.

"Onee-san don't you think that Tori-chan is tired? We should show her her room so she can get some rest." Yuushi suggested.

"Hai, I agree Tori-chan please follow Yuushi. He will show you your room for the while you are staying here I have some business to attend to, please excuse me." Shizune smiled leaving the room.

I followed Yuushi upstairs and he showed me my room. It was a bit bland but it was great none the less. "Arigatou Yuushi-san."

"No problem. Also there isn't any school tomorrow so you can sleep in if you want. Your trip must have been tiring." he said.

"Hai it was. Especially if your sitting for 16 hours straight." He chuckled.

"Well get some sleep I'll see you in the morning."

"Hai. Oyasuminasai Yuushi-san."

"Oyasuminasai."

I turned and closed the door. I opened my suitcase and changed from my skinny jeans and black and white checkered t-shirt to my baggy pj's. When I layed down on the bed it was so comfy. Before I knew it I had fallen asleep
