Summary: Noshi is a girl who has nothing but her mom, and her education. She's always had to fight to defend her pride and now has moved to Tokyo. Her rough mouth and fighting instincts get her in trouble, but she still tries to fufill her mother's wish to make something out of her self. But for the first time in her life she has made a friend, but something tragic happens in her life and she wants to get away from it all. But she never expected to end up in another world.........
When you Find a Friend
I trudged along the sidewalk on my way home from school holding my umbrella and, my shoes squeaking under the wet pavemant, I still couldnt believe what had happened. For the first time ever, I had made a friend. Miaka Yuki. She's a wonderful person. (A/N: Not romance, sickos) But why would she be my friend? I mean with my bad reputation and all..... 'Maybe she's able to look past all that. Maybe she doesn't know about my reputation. Maybe she's just stupid.', I thought.
I stopped walking when I reached my apartment complex. I lived here with a bunch of boarders that feared my reputation. All except the land lady Ms. Insho, she knew I wouldnt hurt anyone. And if I did, she'd haul my ass on the street. I opened the door, where all the boarders were standing in the hallway. They all turned to face me with solemn expressions.
"What the hell are ya'll standin there for?!", I asked. No one said anything. Ms. Insho made her way towards me and handed me a letter. Even ole' Ms. Pain-in-the-ass looked sad. I snatched the letter and slowly walked to the stairs. Everyone's gaze was on me.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU STARIN AT , DAMMIT?!", I yelled. No one said anything. I stomped up the stairs, real annoyed at their behavior. When I reached the top of the stairs, I walked down the tiled hallway to a white door with the number shichi on it. This was my room. I lived at the Tokyo Housing Apartments, it was a nice little place with ju rooms, 5 on top, 5 on bottom. I put my key in the slot and opened the door. Inside was a white hallway with blue carpet that led to a little room with one bed with a blue bed spread, a small white dresser, a book shelf, and a wooden chair. This is where I lived.
I walked in and dumped my schoolbag and the letter in the chair and walked over to my dresser, and changed out of my uniform and into my red kungfu jacket, and black shorts. The fact was, I couldnt stand dresses or skirts, call me a tomboy if you will, but you just cant move in them. Then I walked over to the window. I pulled on the tassel, hoping to let the sunshine in, but only to see rain. It had been raining all day. I went and slumped on my bed. I could just fall asleep and sleep the rest of today. I didnt get much sleep last night, I stayed up until 1:00 studying for a math test. I sat back up, and looked around my room until my eyes landed on the bookshelf. I loved reading. I owned 23 books right now, each of which I had read at least twice. Where did I get the money? No, cant get it from my mom. She pays for my apartment and school funds. Every week, I clean the kitchen and bathhouse. Ole Insho pays me for it. I spend my pay on books. Today, I finished 'The Four Cats', so I put it back on its place on the shelf. I walked back over to my bag, when I saw that letter again. I picked it up and went and sat on my bed. I looked at it for a minute. Is this what made everyone so sad? I mean, it takes a lot to make ole Insho sad.........
Slowly, I tore the envelope open and pulled the letter out. I started to read, it said:
Noshy Hibiki,
Your guardian, Naruhodo Hibiki, was killed in a car accident yesterday afternoon. We understand that you are living in an apartment complex in Tokyo. If the owner Ms. Satorou Insho is willing to provide foster care, you will be permitted to stay in Tokyo. Otherwise, we will be by in two days to relocate you to another family.
Sincerely,
Kodoko Mihikara

I dropped the letter on the ground. This can't be true.........Mom.........no..........It cant be........ Tears welled up in my eyes and threatened to fall, but I wouldnt let them. I looked at my reflection in the mirror, I was smiling as if it was one big joke that would stop any minute. It didn't.
I ran out of my room as fast as my legs would carry me. Down the stairs, past the boarders in the hall muttering to myself, Damn it all, over and over.
I ran through the streets, to nowhere. I just wanted to get away. Those damn tears were still in my eyes. But I couldnt let them fall, my mom always told me to be strong. As I rounded the corner, I recieved strange looks from the people on the street, walking under umbrellas, and hoods of rain coats. I didnt stop and tell them to quit starin, I just kept running. I ran down to bench, and stopped to catch my breath. Everyone that passed me gave me strange looks. Must've been my clothes that were now soaking wet. I looked at my surroundings and saw the library, maybe I could stay there a while. I ran in, not caring about the strange looks I recieved from people. I ran to a door, and shut it behind me. I slowed my pace and walked to the back aisle of the room. There were a lot of books in here. I slummped down and sat there thinking. 'Why her, why now, why wasnt I there?' I repeatead these questions in my head. I decided to read a book to clear my head. I stood up and looked at the shelf behind me. There were so many to choose from. I finally chose a book called, "The Universe of the Four Gods', and sat down to read it. It appeared to be very old, with many cracks. I carefully opened it, as to not damage it, and began to read.
A while later, after reading about Suzaku no Miko, and Tamahome, Hotohori, Nuriko, and Chichiri. I found myself wishing I could go into this book like the priestess did....just to get away from it all. Then I started thinking about
my mother, she said anything was possible, she made everything ok, gave me everything she could, and loved me. Tears welled up in my eyes when I thought of her, and I started to whisper
"Damn it all.", I kept repeating the phrase over and over. Why her? She was the best mom she could be. Why her? "Damn it all.", Would it have made a difference if I had been there? Could I have saved her? I started to blame myself for her death. It was my fault. I wasnt there. I didnt help her. Finally out of all my frusration I screamed at the top of my lungs "DAMN IT ALL!". When I said that, a red light illuminated from the book, and surrounded me. Then I saw darkness and blotches of colors, as I felt myself falling down to nowhere. I finally hit something hard, and my vision blurred, and blackened.
A/N: What will happen to Noshi? It wont be sad the whole time!!!! She'll get happy again!!!! -Noshi ^.^ R/R R/R R/R R/R R/R R/R R/R!!!!!! PLZ!!!!!!!!!! Arigato!!!!- Noshi ^.^
