Chapter 1

I heard my alarm clock and got out of bed. I need to get out of this house, far away if I have to. Maybe I should sneak to the door and never come back. First: get out, second: call Kazehaya to tell him I won't come back for a while, and last: find out what is happening to me. While trying to find out if mom and dad are still sleeping, I keep hearing the same noise as last night. I was really scared, but I need to check on mom and dad. I opened the door a little and looked inside. I was glad they're asleep. Now was my chance to escape. While packing my things I thought to myself… is this what I really need to do? I need to find out what is going on. I have my suitcase ready, now to go and search what I need to find. I better leave something for mom and dad to remember me by. I closed the door slowly as if nothing bad will happen today. Now I need to find a place where I can call Kazehaya and tell him. And I have found a place. A little restaurant. I ask if I can use the phone, that way I don't waste any battery on my cell. I saw a woman and went up to her.

I asked "Um, excuse me, may I use your phone please?"

She looked at me and replied "Yes you may, just over there around the corner."

"Thank you" I said

I dialed his cell phone because he doesn't go to school until a little later. I heard it ringing and the ringing stopped, I heard

"Hello, this is Kazehaya." I heard.

"Hello Kazehaya this is Kuronuma Sawako." I said with nerves on me.

"Kuronuma! Where are you? This is a different number from you, did you change phones already? Shouldn't you be in school at this time like you usually are?" He said with confusion.

I sighed and said "I'm in a restaurant. No I did not change phones; this is the phone I'm using here. And no I am not in school because…." I stopped. I couldn't, but I have to.

"Because what?" He asked.

"I ran away from home and I won't be coming to school either for a while. I have a huge problem and I don't want you to get involved. Please tell Ayane and Chizuru that I miss them. I will miss you Kazehaya. Don't tell anyone about this. I know we've only been together for a few days, but I will be back… trust me."

"Kuronuma I do trust you. I just don't want you to get hurt or anything. Please take me with you. If that is what you want, if not, then I will wait forever if I have to. At least tell me your problem. You don't have to, but it would be helpful." He told me in a sweet and gentle voice.

"I have my cell phone with me, I will call you incase anything happens. I can't tell you my problem and I can not take you with me. Thank you for waiting." I said while having a teardrop.

"Good-bye and good luck on your quest Kuronuma. Don't be gone for too long okay?" He said with a sad voice.

"Thank you and good-bye…Kazehaya." I said with the same type of voice then hanged up the phone.

My quest has just begun…..
