Ch.1 : And so it Begins

*Dream*

~ "Always remember, Mommy will always be with you,..." said the voice said, I turned to see a woman standing infront of me.

"Who are you?" I asked, an before I know it a giant ball of fire was coming at me and the woman, there was a flash and the last thing I saw was a pendant that was shining white.

"Ah!" I shout suddenly waking up from the same dream that I've been having for the past few weeks.

"Jeez, why is it that same dream over and over again? I need to stop watching anime before I go to bed." I thought to myself, as I got out of bed and headed for the bathroom.

"But it felt so real, and that lady... She seemed like someone I knew.." I looked into the mirror to see that tears were falling down my cheeks.

"What? Come on Matt pull yourself together! It was just a dream!" I said to myself as I splashed water in my face. Then heading back to my room I was stopped by a hand on my shoulder.

I turned to see two people standing in the hallway behind me, " Morning Mom, morning Dad. " I said to them, they just looked at me for a few sec's before answering me, which I thought was weird for some reason.

"Good morning Matthew," I already knew some thing was up because they never called me by my first name unless I was in trouble or something. " We need to talk to you, can you come to the living room in a bit?" Dad asked me.

"Yea sure, but did I do something wrong?" I asked. "No honey, you didnt do anything wrong" my Mom said, " We just need to talk with you." she finished saying as tears began to form in her eyes, which reminded me of the dream for some strange reason, but this gave me a twisted feeling in my gut.

"Ok, just let me go change my clothes," I told them as they made their way down stairs. "Shit!" I thought to myself and I closed my door," I know alot of things have happened since we moved to japan but come on, I know that mom and dad were mad at me for getting suppened from school, but those guys asked for it, calling me a Gaijin and beating up the only friend I had, but I know thats not the problem..."

I paused. "Yuna..." I thought to myself, And I could feel the pain coming back on my shoulder, and turned to see a ring on my desk.

Soon after staring at the ring on my desk I came back to the world. I know that wasn't the reason Mom was crying. I know I didn't do something to make her cry So why!" I thought to myself.

*Knock knock* I heard from my door, I turned to see a little girl with black hair walking up to me while rubbing her eyes. "Big Brathor" said the little girl pulling on my shirt with her little arms, " Whatss wong?" she asked me in a sad tone, and a frown on her face, followed by her yawning.

I looked at her and picked her up, " Nothings wrong Mimi," I told her as she hugged me, "I just have a lot on my mind right now." I said as I hugged her back, and let her down.

This was my little sister Mimi, Mimi Hiraga, she's only 3 years old but she's a little has Moms black hair, unlike me how has Brown hair and streaks of black hair coming from the top of my hair.

"Mimi," I began, " You should head back to bed, it's still early ok." she looked at me and nodded her head and turned around and headed out my door. " Alright now back to what the hard part."

I put my favorite white shirt on and black jeans, then headed down stairs to face my fear of the unexpected. I opened the door.

My dad was looking out the open window at the window, while mom looked at me and started crying again.

The pain in my gut came back to me, "As much as I've done, I never could stand seeing Mom or Mimi crying." I thought to myself as Dad opened his mouth, "Matthew have a seat." He said still looking outside.

I did as he said and walked to the oppsite side of where mom was sitting, and looked at my palms now sweating.

" Matthew hmmm... Matt," he turned and had a sadden look on his face, " Do you know what today is?"

He asked me, "Today is..." I paused and looked over at the calender hanging on the wall it was Feb. 29. "It's was my Birthday, the lunar day of every four years, " It's my Birthday, haha would you look at that, I completely forgot," I said stupidly.

" *Hmpt,* Yes it's your 18 birthday, and your Mother, an I have something we want to give you."

He handed me an old box with some dust on it, " Awe Mom, Dad you shouldn't have!" I said sounding surprised, this made Mom let out a sob, but I was still looking at the box, for some reason, I felt like I was beening drawn to it. That something wanted me to open it.

"Can I open It now?" I asked looking up at Dad. He still had the same sad look on his face, but he didn't answer, he only nodded.

"Ok" I thought to myself, "Here I go."

I Opened it to a cloud of dust that made me cough, "*cough cough*," and I looked down to see a letter, I picked it up an opened it. It had some weird writing on it, something I've never seen before, but on top it had in weird writing that looked like it was a mixed with english.

" Matthew...De...Ornières.." writen in a big letters. along with some other weird looking ones. This made me confused.

"What is this?" I finally said after staring at the very old piece of paper, " Why is my name on this?

Is that is my name from moms side of the family" I asked with a puzzled look on my face,

They both said nothing and Mom was crying even more now. Then out of the corner of my eye I saw something sparkle in the light, I looked down and saw something that made my gaw fall down and I felt a cold sweat come over me.

"No, it can be?" I picked up the tricket and held it in front of me.

"But th-this is from my dream!"

"So you recongize it Matt," Dad finally spoke after the silence.

I saw Mom get up and walk over to me and she hugged me while crying and shaking uncontrolably.

" Mom" I turned to her and said, "Whats wrong? Why are you crying so much?" I asked, still I got no respone from her.

"Matt there something I-..We need to tell you son." I looked at Dad he had tears coming down his face now to.

"Aw jeez, come on you two, look im sorry for what ever I did but come on this is torture." I told him.

"Son...," I could hear him saying in a shaky voice, " Were not your real parents..."

After that I just saw him put his head down, and the crying person on my right started sobbing again.

After a moment of taking that in I finally I said, "So thats what you wanted to tell me? I know that sounds a bit harsh but really thats all?"

"What?" the sobbing woman said.

"I knew... I've known for a while now." I said. They both looked at me with confused faces, "Well more then 3 years now when Mimi was born, I had my suspions cause we didn't look anything alike, but I wasn't certain till I had this dream a few months ago. ... With this in it." I said holding the pendant up for both of them to see.

"Matthew," The man began, "Please dont hate us for this but we felt like it was time to tell you the truth." He said. "But don't take this the wron-?" I cut him off.

"Don't start with the whole sob story please." I said looking down, "You two rised me since I was a baby", in my head, ("I know that much cause they have me with them in my baby photos,) " How could you possible think I Hate you both! No matter what anyone says your my Mom, and your my Dad!" I told them with tears swelling in my eyes, "Thank you... Son." Dad said, and I turned to face Mom who was still crying.

"Yo-You'll always be my little boy ok." she said struggling to Look at me, it pained me to see the woman that rised me like this.

"Yes, Mom." I told her as she embraced me once again.

~ Later on ~

After a long talk with my parents, (yea I still consider them My parents,) I found out that I was found abandoned in a forest in Europe during their early years of being married, so they took me home and raised me. Till they moved back to Japan and Mimi was born.

So after listening to the story of how they found me, I went up stairs and got my bag and put my gloves and somethings in it, you know simple things. I open the old box on my dresser, and took out the letter.

"I don't know why, but I think I'll take you both with me," I thought to myself, putting the letter in my bag and picking up the pendant and put in around my neck. I turned and looked at the ring on my desk, and just stared at it for a while and finally put it in my side pocket on my bag. " Ok I think that should do."

*Knock knock* I turned around again to see a little figure rush up and grab hold of my leg.

"Big Brather are you leaving?" she the little girl with watery eyes.

"No, I'd never leave you alone Mimi," I said to her while kneeling down to put her up, "I'm just going to go somewhere for a bit, and then I'll be back ok." She looked and me and said "Ok," back to me.

I put her down to see her rush down stairs to probably find something to eat.

"Ok, I'm all set then, now just for my jacket," It was a nice black with a streak of sliver going down from the hood to my back like a crack that and it said, "Will," on the back.

But anyways after putting on my jacket on I walked down stairs to see my parents, and Mimi in the kitchen making so lunch.

"Matt, are you going somewhere?" asked my Mom, I swear I saw her eyes start to get watery again.

"Yea, it's my birthday so I'm going to visit...," I paused and Mom just said,

"It's ok honey, You go and do what you have too, just make sure you back before dinner! It is your Birthday, and we are your family." I smiled at hearing those words.

"Yea, I will." I told her while smiling, "and see you too Squirt," I told Mimi who just grinned at me. I walked to the door where my Dad was standing. I leaned over to put my shoe's on.

"Thank you Matt," He said while standing over me, "There's no need to thank me after all I should be thanking you, for everything you've done for me." I told him as I stood up and looked at him.

"After all your my Dad right?" I said with a grin on my face, " Hahaha Thats right I am, and you best remember that!" I chuckled after hearing that.

"Yup, See yea later Dad." I opened the door and walked into the outside world.

Little did I know that was last time I would see My family.
