This would be the second time she'd flown. The first time she'd been too young to remember, so she never really counted it.
"Bye Kurama, bye Hiei," Julie would have waved but she was holding her laptop. "See you Japan!"
Kurama waved, while Hiei just stood there. Julie grabbed her ticket stub and disappeared down the hallway that led to the aircraft. They would see her again in about seven hours.
"Well Hiei, I have a new step sister," Kurama said more to himself than his companion.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The flight to Japan was a long trip, but Julie didn't really mind. The women in the seat next to her talked endlessly about her children and grandchildren, so Julie had something to keep her occupied. She liked listening to the memories of the old women. They were memories she wished she had.
"But now I can start over. I can make my own memories," she thought excitedly. Julie was nervous and happy at the same time. There were butterflies dancing in her stomach, and she was worried that the new family wouldn't like her. At least she thought Kurama did.
Halfway through the trip, dinner was served. Julie ordered what the women, Mrs. Mildrege, was ordering. Most of the foods she'd never tried, so she was slightly lost.
The meal arrived, and it turned out to be tomato soup and cheese bread. She liked it a lot, especially the cheesebread.
"Mrs. Mildrege," Julie asked.
"Yes Dear?" she answered in-between bites.
"Why are you going to Japan?" Julie had been wondering this since the first hour of the flight, but she had been too busy listening.
"My husband owns a shop there. I was just visiting my family in the States," she smiled. "This is good soup."
Julie nodded and finished hers. The stewardess took the empty bowls away.
"So why are you going to Japan?" Mrs. Mildrege asked.
Julie smiled, "I got adopted."
"O you poor Dear! Well I'm happy for you. Japan is a beautiful place, especially when the cherry blossoms bloom."
"Cherry blossoms?"
"O yes… it's so pretty," the old women's eyes began to sparkle. "It's like soft, pink snow."
Julie tried to imagine it. It sounded wonderful, and she couldn't wait to see it.
"If you don't mind me asking, who are your new parents?"
"Mr. and Mrs. Minamino," she answered.
"O!" the women gasped. "Their son, Suiichi, works in my husband's shop. He's such a sweet boy."
Suiichi? Julie didn't know who she was talking about.
"What kind of shop does your husband own?" she asked.
"He owns a herb and flower shop. You should stop by one day," she looked at Julie, her gentle eyes twinkling happily.
"Is your husband Japanese?" She wondered if it sounded rude. She hoped it didn't.
"No…but his father was posted there, so he's lived in Japan most of his life."
Julie nodded.
"Here, I'll give you my card," the merrily little women fumbled in her purse for a moment, then retrieved a white business card.
Julie read and took it, "Thank you."
She'd have to ask Kurama were the shop was and visit her sometime.
"Are Mr. and Mrs. Minamino nice?" she asked quietly.
The women smiled at her, "They are the sweetest people I know. Very respectable, too. You'll love them," Mrs. Mildrege yawned suddenly. "I'm terrible sorry Deary, but I think I'm a wee bit tired." She yawned again, "You don't mind if I rest my eyes a bit?"
Julie smiled at the old women. She was fast asleep.
A movie started playing on the screen. It was called "The Lion King". Julie hadn't seen it before. She watched it until the end, liked it, and decided to take a nap since she didn't have anything else to do.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Julie…"
"Mom?" It was that same, soft voice.
"Julie we want you to be happy."
"What? But I am happy. You're here."
"Yes we are kid, but we want you to have someone else to love," It was her dad now.
Julie blinked, "Why can't I love you?" she asked in confusion. Her parents were hugging her in their safe, warm embrace.
"We've passed on, so we can't be with you like you want," Her mom said softly.
"But you said you'd always be there."
"Yes, and we always are, but we want you to live. We don't want you mourning us anymore."
She embraced them tighter. Her dad that always smelled of sea salt, with his sun-bleached, and cotton shirts. Her mom with her lavender perfume, her soft, sweet voice, and her bright sundresses. Her parents. She loved them, how was she suppose to replace them?
"Please Julie. We want the Minaminos to be your new family. We want them to be everything that we can't."
Tears were running down her cheeks. "Alright," she choked. "For you."
Her dad kissed her on the top of her head. "That's my girl," he whispered.
They let go of her. Tears were in her mother's eyes, but she was smiling.
"Bye my little Julie."
"Bye Mom…Bye Dad," She whispered and looked at them one last time. Her mom with her dark hair and blue eyes and pretty Creole face. Her dad with his tanned skin and sun bleached blonde hair and twinkling green eyes. She loved them so much.
"Live…" They told her as they began to fade. "Live…"
"I will," she whispered. "For you."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Julie blinked back a tear. Her parents had told her to replace them with the Minaminos, but it would be difficult. They were her real parents after all.
Julie was glad that she'd been adopted, but, at first, the Minaminos were going to be a second family to her, and deep down, she'd have her real ones. Now everything was different. Her parents had just told her to replace them, betray them.
She looked out the window at the morning sky. The plane's wing reflected the sun so it looked like she was sailing on a gold ship, surrounded by a pink ocean.
Julie thought about the cherry blossoms and smiled lightly. Her mood lightened. She knew what to do now. If the Minaminos were worthy of her parents place, she would do what they asked and forget about them, but if they weren't, then she'd keep on remembering her parents.
"Twenty minutes until landing," the speaker announced.
She must have slept longer than she thought. The clouds cleared and Julie looked down on the city below. It looked like someone had lit a thousand, tiny little candles.
"Tokyo," she breathed. Then she saw the magnificent Mt. Fuji in the distance, with the pink sun on it.
"It's beautiful, isn't it?" her companion whispered, trying not to spoil the mood.
Julie nodded, too awed for words. The sight was incredible.
"You'll love it in Japan," she said smiling.
Julie thought she would, too.
The plane landed normally, and passengers soon began filing out. Julie reached for her laptop on the top shelf, and grabbed Mrs. Mildrege's items while she was at it.
"Thank you Deary."
Julie watched as everyone began to leave. Most of the passengers were Japanese, but some looked American, and a small group looked military because of their buzz cuts.
Mrs. Mildrege and her were the last ones off, and the stewardesses waved goodbye as they left.
"Well Deary, we're here," she said happily. "It's been a pleasure flying with you, but I'm glad these old legs can stretch."
Julie laughed lightly. They were now standing near the luggage section, waiting for their belongings to roll into view. Julie saw her two duffle bags and grabbed at them.
"Would you get that suitcase for me, Dear?" It was a heavy, tan one with wheels. She struggled with it. "Thank you, Dear," Her travel companion said once she'd set it down. The women popped the wheels and began rolling it. "Would you like me to help you find the Minaminos? My husband isn't going to be here for awhile, knowing him," she chuckled.
Julie instantly felt a little better. Walking into the large, complex airport had made her wonder how she was going to find her own feet, let alone a family. "Thank you very much, Mrs. Mildrege."
"No problem Dear, but first, I really need to find a restroom. I'm about to wet myself." They tried not to laugh because of their stressed bladders.
The two walked along, down corridors with big windows that showed the outside world. Snow blanketed the bustling city in the distance. Julie looked out the window, amazed at what she saw.
She'd been here less than an hour, but she already felt at home in Japan.
