A/N: sorry if I post this late n_n;; !! Okay this chapter will be focused
on Sada's New Year Ball. Hope you guys will enjoy. Thanks to all who read
and a thank- you cookie to all those who reviewed the last chapter! I
might add an extra story at the end of this chapter, it was a vocabulary
assignment from this week, it is 8th grade vocab because I am in 8th
grade. I hope I will enjoy that too.
Cool! I just heard from my mom that some of my classmates are having some protest about measure K near the gas stations. I would have gone, but my parents wouldn't let me, they said it would be un-lady like (they said the same things when I asked if I could switch from piano to guitar...). Well, if you are not from California, then you might not know what the hell I'm talking about right now, but measure K has to do with our schools and such.
Okay, um... sorry if any of the HP characters seem OOC! Remember this is my first fan-fic on FF.net! And sorry for any grammar / spelling mistakes that I didn't catch when I re-read the chapter!
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter, Inuyahsa, or the quote. They belong to their respectable owners/ creators, which, thank God, is not me.

++ Chapter Eight: Waltz To The Moon And Confrontations In The Maze ++
That day, deep in your eyes, I saw the loneliness Are the two of us really alike? If I'd realized it, you were always by my side
- From a song called 'Myself' from the anime 'Full Moon o Sagashite'
+ December 30, 2003. Western Lord's Estate, Japan +
+Sada's POV+
Busy, again. Father is always busy. I only had three whole conversations since I came back from Hogwarts for my winter break. Only three! Well, I hope he enjoys the New Years Ball tonight. Father could relax tonight. I sat down on my vanity chair. My hair, make-up and jewelry are already on. I am already wearing my dress for the ball and my shoes too.
My eyes are, as usual, heavy with mascara. My lips are painted red and I have a bit of blush on. My white hair is pulled in to an old- fashion bun, which a white ribbon held back. Since I am in my demon state I have claws instead of nails so there are no use to paint them, but I did put gloss to make them shine. The jewelry that was chosen for me is a diamond choker that covers most of my neck, a white gold wristband that is covered with diamonds on each wrist and a pair of diamond chandelier earrings.
I but you are wondering why I sit in my room waiting instead of going to the Ballroom. Well, since I am the mistress of the house I have to enter in with my father, who is the master of the house, about 20 minutes after the Ball has started. Well, as the Americans say, "Arriving late is fashionable" or something like that.
About 15 minutes into the Ball the sliding doors to my chambers opened to reveal the head of staff of my house. "Lady Sada, it is time." Was all he said as the doors widened to revel a couple of bodyguards. I nodded and stood up.
+ Same place +
+ Draco's POV +
"Mother, I still don't get why we have to go to this Ball." I told my mother as we took a seat at a table that was reserved for us. "Yuck, we are sitting on the floor too." I stated as I sat on the pillow Indian style. I wore very expensive black wizard robes, shoes and such. My almost white blond hair was slicked back, as usual. And I wore the pin Mother gave me for Christmas.
"Shhh!" Mother sat down on the pillow next to me with her legs underneath her. "This is the Japanese costume. You must respect it." I gave an annoyed sigh before she continued. "There are a couple of death eaters here that escape the law, legally by the way, and your father thought that we should attended."
Just then Father came and sat next to Mother. "There are demons here." He stated. Mother looked at him confused. "Look around." Was all he told us. I looked around to see many wizards and witches then some odd-looking humans. All of the odd looking humans had pointy ears and sharp claws; some had other distinct features that included tails and oddly colored eyes. Those must be the demons.
Mother looked horrified but then relief came when father said that they are civilized. "The one who is hosting this Ball is a dog demon I hear. Goes by the name of Sesshomaru." Father said to Mother but I sort of eavesdropped.
"Sesshomaru?" I asked. Father looked angry at me for interrupting his conversation with Mother.
"Yes, Sesshomaure. Why?" he took a sip of his drink and then settled it down.
I looked down at my own drink and told him, "We learned about him in our History of Magic class. He is supposedly around 700 years old."
Father spat out is drink, which thankfully no one noticed. Then a demon that looked like he was in his forties got everybody's attention by making some sort of sound. He stood next to a huge door that was on top of a huge grad staircase. It is obviously wasn't being used by any of the other guest.
The demons voice rang out into the Ballroom. "May I present to you, Ruler of the Western Lands, Lord Sesshomaru and his daughter, heiress to the lands, Lady Sada."
Sada?
Lady Sada, heiress of the Western Lands? What the fuck is going on? Wait, if this Sesshomaru guy is a demon and Sada is his daughter, would that mean she is a demon?? I looked up to the top of the staircase to see a Japanese demon, looking about in his mid 30s. He wore a black muggle tux, a black dress shirt and a dark crimson bow tie. The material looked very expensive and very nice. He had long straight white hair, and on both sides of his cheeks are two red claw marks and on his forehead is a crescent moon facing up. He had some 'manly' jewelry on too. He looked a bit feminine but he looks defiantly like a male. Also, his golden eyes looked familiar. I guess he would be Lord Sesshomaru.
And Sada stood next to him, well, what looks like Sada. She had the main demon characteristics like the ears and claws. Instead of Sada's black hair with the white streak that went to her shoulders, her hair was ALL white and went down to her hip. She also had the same markings as her father. Hell, she looks like her father, just smaller, with darker skin and is a female. She too had those eyes.
"Draco?" my mother voice broke me out of my trance.
"Yes?" I turned to her.
Mother looked at Sada. "Isn't she your classmate?" I nodded. Father then turned and looked at me.
"A demon goes to your school?" he asked with venom in his voice. I could tell that he is probably jealous with Sada's father.
"Yes, Father"
"What house is she in?" Father asked again.
"Gryffindor, Father." He looked annoyed. Then replied, "A demon goes to Hogwarts and is in that house, what is the world coming to?"
Then food appeared, Japanese food.
+++
+Author's POV (right now is full from eating food) +
Dinner is now over and many of the guests are now on the dance floor. Classical music from both muggle and wizard world and from both Europe and Japan. Lord Sesshomaru mingle with the guest, but his daughter still sat in her seat. No body dared to speak to Lord Sesshomaru's daughter, Sada. Some feared that if they said something wrong to her and her father would punish them. Some heard what has happen to Sada, and believe that she is still mentally unstable or that she has disgrace her family clan that she is not worth speaking to, even if she is Lord Sesshomaru's daughter and heiress to the Lands.
"Daughter." Sada's father called to her. She stood up and headed to where her father stood. Her father was talking to a wizard family, in fact a family that had once, or still, support He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named's cause. The Malfoys, one of the richest and purest wizard families in all of the Wizardry World.
Sada bowed to show her respects and turned to her father. "Yes, Father?" she asked politely.
"This is Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy," Her father told her. "I believe that you have all ready met their son Draco?"
Sada looked at Draco with surprised. Her just smirked back at her. "Yes, Father. Draco is a classmate of mines."
Sesshomaru smiled at his daughter. 'She is growing too fast' he thought. "Sir Malfoy asked if you and Draco share a dance together." The two Hogwarts student stared at their fathers in shock. Lucius only wanted to make a good impression on the demon lord so he could join him on his campaign to restore the Dark Lord's ideas. Sesshomaru is just happy to see his daughter having a social life, especially after the rape.
"Um.... sure, Father...." Sada stared at Draco for a moment. Draco lend Sada his right hand and she took it and he led her to the dance floor.
A new song started and the two started to dance to the waltz. "So, Sada." Draco looked over to her father who was now talking to a wizard from Korea. "You are a demon, eh?"
Sada only nodded. "And your father is that guy we learned about back in September, right?" Draco asked her as they danced.
"Yea."
"That would make you related to Inuyahsa dude, huh?"
"Yup."
Draco smiled at Sada, "You are just full of surprises aren't you?" She smiled at him.
'I can't believe he is taking this so well.' Sada thought.
"You are still beautiful." Sada looked at Draco.
"What?" she asked him, not catching what he had said.
He only smirked his famous smirk. "You are still beautiful in your demon state." Sada's face turned red, almost like Ron's fiery red hair.
"Thank you." and then the music stopped and Draco turned to go back to his parents.
+++
+Sada's POV+
He thinks I'm beautiful. I smiled to my self as I walked outside. I wanted some time for my self so I went out side, towards the entrance of the maze. There is a maze in the middle of our garden, and our garden is really, really huge, so that means we have one enormous maze that is made out of red roses.
I know this maze by heart, I could never get lost. Hell, I could find my way out in my sleep! I grinned again once I found my favorite spot in the whole maze, the center. The rose bushes creates a circular wall with only four exits, each one pointing either North, South, East, or West. Of course the one pointing west is the direction to where the house is. In the center of the maze is a water fountain made out of marble. The stature in the middle of it is a maiden dressed in a traditional kimono and two Samurais that look like they are protecting the young maiden.
I sat on the edge of the elegant fountain my back facing the entrance from with I came. I have always come here to think when ever I am home. And tonight I came here to think of the one person I have fallen in love with. I know he likes me too, he told me. I know he is expecting an answer. Draco is here tonight, should I tell him? Tonight, at the New Years Ball?
Then a cold hand was place on my shoulder. I turned around excepting to see Father, for he is the only man I know who has such a cold touch. But it was not Father, but the very man that has clouded my mind. Draco.
"Lovely night isn't it?" he sat besides me.
I looked up at the dark sky. "Yes, the stars look wonderful. Especially the night before a new year." Should I tell him now? Yes, this would be the perfect timing.
"I came to get you." he said smoothly. "We have 8 minutes until midnight."
"Oh." Yes! This IS the perfect timing!
"Lets head back together." He said as he stood back up. He gave me his right hand to help me up. Then I remembered.
++ Flash back ++
He lend out his had and offered to help me up. He wouldn't act like this
if other people were here.
Only me.
Just me.
I grabbed a hold of his hand and thanked him. I got off the ground and
turned to leave, Draco's hand was about to let go, but he didn't, he
pulled me closer. My back still facing him as he lend over to my ear.
His hand still holding mine.
The soft breeze turned into a calm wind.
He then whispered to me, "Every Since that faithful day, on that train,"
his voice carried on with the wind but I was able to hear what he had to
say. "I have always loved you Sada."
The wind died down.
Draco then let go of my hand.
++ End of flash back ++
This has happened before. This is almost like he time when he had
confessed his love for me. This is perfect timing!!
We are now both on our feet and about to exit the center of the maze. I
stopped Draco by pulling on his arm. He turned to look at me. "Draco, "I
started to say before he broke me off.
"What is it? We got three minutes to get back to the Ball before Midnight-
"
This time I stopped him. "Draco, listen. Please?" he then turned to face
me.
"Okay." One more minute to go.
"Draco, I think I have fallen in love you." It is now twelve-o-clock.
He looked at me then looked back at my home to see the guest celebrating
New Years. "You mean it?" He asked.
"What do you think?" I told him. In normal romance stories, right now the
couple would have a kiss on the lips. But we aren't normal; we aren't
your everyday lovers. So I leaned over and placed a small kiss on his
cheek.
"Happy New Year, Sada." He told me after the small kiss on his cheek.
"Happy New Year, Draco." I got a feeling that this will be one crazy
year. But I don't care right now. I am with my first love and that is all
that matters to me, at the moment.

A/N: this has NOTHING to do with HP! I own the plot and the characters!
Love and Hatred
Vocabulary Set 6
Idea no. 9
Great, Mitsuko is bringing her 'new' boyfriend to meet Mother and Father. Another stupid boy that is charmed by her. Why am I stuck with a twin sister like her? And why does Mother and Father like her so much and ignore me? Oh how I hate Mitsuko. She always is basking in other people's admiration. All I hear when relatives come over are, 'My, Mitsuko is so smart!' 'Oh, what a beautiful daughter you have! Mitsuko is so lovely.' Or 'what a charming personality that girl has, you raised her well.'
And what do I get? Nothing! Not one good complement. Why can't they see that she has way too many defects? Oh yeah, she puts up one really good façade of a perfect good girl. Mitsuko is not smart, she doesn't even have a 3.5! Also her good personality is completely fake! Sure Mother and Father raised her well heck they spoiled her! Well, one thing she got going for her is her looks, which she is always flaunting it, but her looks won't get her very far in life.
"Nanashi! Time for dinner!" my mother's voice rang through out the house. I closed the book I was reading, got off my bed and headed out of my room. As I walked down the hall I could hear a man's voice, which meant Mitsuko's new boy toy has arrived, hmm, I wonder which jock this one is. She probably sees boys as some finesse game. I stepped into the dinning room to see the quarterback of out high school's football team. What was his name again?
My twin sister who is older then me by seven minutes turn to see me as I took a seat far from everyone else. As usual I aloof my self during dinner. "Nana! Nick, this is my cousin Nana." My evil sister is even abashed that I am her sister. Who wouldn't be ashamed if your twin sister was the tomboy of the school, even the smartest girl, which would categorize me as a geek, but luckily I have a couple of friends who aren't part of that crowd. I even ostracize my self from my own family! Mitsuko is the most popular girl in school, almost everybody adores her, keyword: almost.
I turned to the idiot who sat across from me and said, "Hello, I'm please to meet you." all he did was nod. He turned to Mitsuko and asked; "You're related to her?" she nodded grimly and sat down next to him just as my parents entered the room.
I. Hate. Her. I try not to be jealous and keep thinking that in the future it will be me who will be successful. I already have plans for the future. Heck I already got some publisher trying to publish my book, which I will go under the pseudonym 'Erishkigal', which was the name of the violent Sumerian goddess of death and the underworld. I have a premonition that she will be poor as dirt. There will be repercussions for her evilness...
I took my fork and shut my self off from their stupid conversion about how they meet and that stuff. I could hear Nick talk about rehabilitating his knee and stuff. I looked up to see a genial Mitsuko, putting up her appearance I see. My anger and hatred was instilling every time she took in air.
"Mitsuko dear." My mother said to her. She stopped laughing at some badly told joke that Nick made and looked at Mother.
"What, mom?" she asked Mother and looked at Father.
Father and Mother smiled at her. And sadly it was a smile full of pride. Then Father spoke up. "We received a letter from that modeling company." By my parents looks you can tell that Mitsuko got accepted and is on her merry way on becoming a top model. She squealed in delight hugged Nick then got up and hugged our parents.
This moment had just brought more anguish for me. Great, there goes my chance of being more successful that that dumb twit. The evil one turned to me and said, "Mom! Nanashi doesn't look happy that her cousin is going to be a top model!" Mother and Father have gotten use tot he fact that she calls me her cousin in front of her classmates. "She is making my day feel bad!" she continued. Damn, I am tried of her making some scapegoat. It makes me sick to see someone like her become more successful then me. I have pure hatred for her.
Nick then said, "Maybe you cousin has something to say. Ask her how her day went. Maybe that will cheer her up." Wow, Mr. Twiddle dumb said something articulate.
Mitsuko looked angry do to the fact that her boy-fiend, I mean boyfriend, defended her tomboy twin. "Fine then!" she looked at me again and asked, "So, how was your day, cousin?"
I gave her a look that was full of my hate for her. "I'm not your cousin, sister." I told resolute. Nick looked surprised, also Mitsuko and my so- called parents. "How was my day you ask?" I continued in a venomous voice, "it was wonderful. Want to know what happened?"
My sister gave me a evil glare and said, "Shut it you little brat! You seem jealous! Is it because of my new boyfriend? How bout the fact that I am going to be a new model? Or is it because I am smarter then you?"
I laughed my cruelest laugh. "Me jealous of that dumb twit you call a boyfriend? Heck no! And that modeling job? That will get you now where! Once you get old its gone! And you smarter then me? You barely have a 2.9! As for me, the principal said that I am the third smartest student in out class!" I smirked at her. "Plus my brain is more retentive then yours. Opps, I forgot you don't even know what that means!" I purge out many of my feeling that I have kept inside for such a long time.
My sister looked at me pure hatred, but not as strong as my hate for her. My mother looked appalled by my outburst. Father then said to me, "Don't you DARE speak to your sister in that way! Or else-"
"Or else what?" I smirked at him.
"I'll kick you out!" he screamed back at me. His decision to kick me out if I continued seemed very forthright.
I laughed as I saw my mother's and Nick's face at my father's decision. I laughed even more when I saw my sister's satisfied look. "You rather keep that brainless daughter of yours then me? Great! My stuff is already packed! See ya!" I smiled at them and left to go to my room to get my duffle bag. I was planning to leave anyways and stay at my friend Lulu's house.
I locked the door of my room and grabbed another bag and packed more stuff. I could hear my father pound on the door. During the summer I changed the lock. Good ol' smart me. I finished packing and called Lulu to pick me up. She will be here in five minutes. We planned this all a long, ever since summer. I placed a letter and the key to my room on the floor near the door. I then heard a honk that defiantly came from Lulu's new Mini Copper, actually its mine it was a gift from my aunt, the only one who likes me and hates Mitsuko in the family, I'm just letting Lulu borrow it until I ran away.
I opened op my window (thank God my room is on the first floor) then pushed the letter and key so that they are now sticking out of my room and into the hall. Just as I stood on the windowsill I took a glance at my room, which was now empty of all my belongings, and jumped out of the house and into the get-away car. As we drove off I could see my parents, Mitsuko and Nick staring at me trough the window in the hall. I waved goodbye and blew them a sarcastic kiss that was filled with all my love and hatred.
Cool! I just heard from my mom that some of my classmates are having some protest about measure K near the gas stations. I would have gone, but my parents wouldn't let me, they said it would be un-lady like (they said the same things when I asked if I could switch from piano to guitar...). Well, if you are not from California, then you might not know what the hell I'm talking about right now, but measure K has to do with our schools and such.
Okay, um... sorry if any of the HP characters seem OOC! Remember this is my first fan-fic on FF.net! And sorry for any grammar / spelling mistakes that I didn't catch when I re-read the chapter!

"I came to get you." he said smoothly. "We have 8 minutes until midnight."
"Oh." Yes! This IS the perfect timing!
"Lets head back together." He said as he stood back up. He gave me his right hand to help me up. Then I remembered.

if other people were here.
Only me.
Just me.
I grabbed a hold of his hand and thanked him. I got off the ground and
turned to leave, Draco's hand was about to let go, but he didn't, he
pulled me closer. My back still facing him as he lend over to my ear.
His hand still holding mine.
The soft breeze turned into a calm wind.
He then whispered to me, "Every Since that faithful day, on that train,"
his voice carried on with the wind but I was able to hear what he had to
say. "I have always loved you Sada."
The wind died down.
Draco then let go of my hand.
++ End of flash back ++
This has happened before. This is almost like he time when he had
confessed his love for me. This is perfect timing!!
We are now both on our feet and about to exit the center of the maze. I
stopped Draco by pulling on his arm. He turned to look at me. "Draco, "I
started to say before he broke me off.
"What is it? We got three minutes to get back to the Ball before Midnight-
"
This time I stopped him. "Draco, listen. Please?" he then turned to face
me.
"Okay." One more minute to go.
"Draco, I think I have fallen in love you." It is now twelve-o-clock.
He looked at me then looked back at my home to see the guest celebrating
New Years. "You mean it?" He asked.
"What do you think?" I told him. In normal romance stories, right now the
couple would have a kiss on the lips. But we aren't normal; we aren't
your everyday lovers. So I leaned over and placed a small kiss on his
cheek.
"Happy New Year, Sada." He told me after the small kiss on his cheek.
"Happy New Year, Draco." I got a feeling that this will be one crazy
year. But I don't care right now. I am with my first love and that is all
that matters to me, at the moment.

Love and Hatred
Vocabulary Set 6
Idea no. 9
Great, Mitsuko is bringing her 'new' boyfriend to meet Mother and Father. Another stupid boy that is charmed by her. Why am I stuck with a twin sister like her? And why does Mother and Father like her so much and ignore me? Oh how I hate Mitsuko. She always is basking in other people's admiration. All I hear when relatives come over are, 'My, Mitsuko is so smart!' 'Oh, what a beautiful daughter you have! Mitsuko is so lovely.' Or 'what a charming personality that girl has, you raised her well.'
And what do I get? Nothing! Not one good complement. Why can't they see that she has way too many defects? Oh yeah, she puts up one really good façade of a perfect good girl. Mitsuko is not smart, she doesn't even have a 3.5! Also her good personality is completely fake! Sure Mother and Father raised her well heck they spoiled her! Well, one thing she got going for her is her looks, which she is always flaunting it, but her looks won't get her very far in life.
"Nanashi! Time for dinner!" my mother's voice rang through out the house. I closed the book I was reading, got off my bed and headed out of my room. As I walked down the hall I could hear a man's voice, which meant Mitsuko's new boy toy has arrived, hmm, I wonder which jock this one is. She probably sees boys as some finesse game. I stepped into the dinning room to see the quarterback of out high school's football team. What was his name again?
My twin sister who is older then me by seven minutes turn to see me as I took a seat far from everyone else. As usual I aloof my self during dinner. "Nana! Nick, this is my cousin Nana." My evil sister is even abashed that I am her sister. Who wouldn't be ashamed if your twin sister was the tomboy of the school, even the smartest girl, which would categorize me as a geek, but luckily I have a couple of friends who aren't part of that crowd. I even ostracize my self from my own family! Mitsuko is the most popular girl in school, almost everybody adores her, keyword: almost.
I turned to the idiot who sat across from me and said, "Hello, I'm please to meet you." all he did was nod. He turned to Mitsuko and asked; "You're related to her?" she nodded grimly and sat down next to him just as my parents entered the room.
I. Hate. Her. I try not to be jealous and keep thinking that in the future it will be me who will be successful. I already have plans for the future. Heck I already got some publisher trying to publish my book, which I will go under the pseudonym 'Erishkigal', which was the name of the violent Sumerian goddess of death and the underworld. I have a premonition that she will be poor as dirt. There will be repercussions for her evilness...
I took my fork and shut my self off from their stupid conversion about how they meet and that stuff. I could hear Nick talk about rehabilitating his knee and stuff. I looked up to see a genial Mitsuko, putting up her appearance I see. My anger and hatred was instilling every time she took in air.
"Mitsuko dear." My mother said to her. She stopped laughing at some badly told joke that Nick made and looked at Mother.
"What, mom?" she asked Mother and looked at Father.
Father and Mother smiled at her. And sadly it was a smile full of pride. Then Father spoke up. "We received a letter from that modeling company." By my parents looks you can tell that Mitsuko got accepted and is on her merry way on becoming a top model. She squealed in delight hugged Nick then got up and hugged our parents.
This moment had just brought more anguish for me. Great, there goes my chance of being more successful that that dumb twit. The evil one turned to me and said, "Mom! Nanashi doesn't look happy that her cousin is going to be a top model!" Mother and Father have gotten use tot he fact that she calls me her cousin in front of her classmates. "She is making my day feel bad!" she continued. Damn, I am tried of her making some scapegoat. It makes me sick to see someone like her become more successful then me. I have pure hatred for her.
Nick then said, "Maybe you cousin has something to say. Ask her how her day went. Maybe that will cheer her up." Wow, Mr. Twiddle dumb said something articulate.
Mitsuko looked angry do to the fact that her boy-fiend, I mean boyfriend, defended her tomboy twin. "Fine then!" she looked at me again and asked, "So, how was your day, cousin?"
I gave her a look that was full of my hate for her. "I'm not your cousin, sister." I told resolute. Nick looked surprised, also Mitsuko and my so- called parents. "How was my day you ask?" I continued in a venomous voice, "it was wonderful. Want to know what happened?"
My sister gave me a evil glare and said, "Shut it you little brat! You seem jealous! Is it because of my new boyfriend? How bout the fact that I am going to be a new model? Or is it because I am smarter then you?"
I laughed my cruelest laugh. "Me jealous of that dumb twit you call a boyfriend? Heck no! And that modeling job? That will get you now where! Once you get old its gone! And you smarter then me? You barely have a 2.9! As for me, the principal said that I am the third smartest student in out class!" I smirked at her. "Plus my brain is more retentive then yours. Opps, I forgot you don't even know what that means!" I purge out many of my feeling that I have kept inside for such a long time.
My sister looked at me pure hatred, but not as strong as my hate for her. My mother looked appalled by my outburst. Father then said to me, "Don't you DARE speak to your sister in that way! Or else-"
"Or else what?" I smirked at him.
"I'll kick you out!" he screamed back at me. His decision to kick me out if I continued seemed very forthright.
I laughed as I saw my mother's and Nick's face at my father's decision. I laughed even more when I saw my sister's satisfied look. "You rather keep that brainless daughter of yours then me? Great! My stuff is already packed! See ya!" I smiled at them and left to go to my room to get my duffle bag. I was planning to leave anyways and stay at my friend Lulu's house.
I locked the door of my room and grabbed another bag and packed more stuff. I could hear my father pound on the door. During the summer I changed the lock. Good ol' smart me. I finished packing and called Lulu to pick me up. She will be here in five minutes. We planned this all a long, ever since summer. I placed a letter and the key to my room on the floor near the door. I then heard a honk that defiantly came from Lulu's new Mini Copper, actually its mine it was a gift from my aunt, the only one who likes me and hates Mitsuko in the family, I'm just letting Lulu borrow it until I ran away.
I opened op my window (thank God my room is on the first floor) then pushed the letter and key so that they are now sticking out of my room and into the hall. Just as I stood on the windowsill I took a glance at my room, which was now empty of all my belongings, and jumped out of the house and into the get-away car. As we drove off I could see my parents, Mitsuko and Nick staring at me trough the window in the hall. I waved goodbye and blew them a sarcastic kiss that was filled with all my love and hatred.
