Chapter five- Hello Grandma

Rika walked away from her new friends and out of the park. It was late afternoon by now, perhaps about five o'clock. She new where he Grandma lived, it wasn't too far from here, but on the way she kept thinking about him. 'Rika c'mon, you probaly have no chance with the guy, quit thinking about him.' She sighed and quickened her pace.

Twenty minutes later she arrived at a large estate. A tall wooden gate stood before her, and beyond it was the house of her Grandma. It was her mother's relation. Rumiko had married into royalty but Rika's father had died about a year ago.

She opened the gate and saw a soft glow coming from the kitchen window. Rika smiled and walked over the small bridge in the middle of the garden, across the pond. It truley was a traditional Japanese style house.

She knocked lightly on the door and heard footsteps walking towards it. The door opened slightly and a woman stood there. Rika took a deep breath.

"May I help you dear?" She asked

"Hi Grandma, it's me, Ruki." The lady smiled. Seiko was her name and she opened the door wider and gave her grandaughter a hug.

"Ruki dear, it's so good to see you, come in come in." Rika followed her grandma inside and they sat down.

"What are you doing her dear?" she asked, Rika knew this was coming.

"I ran away." Rika said simply. "Could you please call me Rika? I know it's not my name, but i'd like to be known as that whilst I am here."

"Okay. But why did you run away?"

"Because no-one understands me there. I hate being a princess I want a break from it all, you know? Please could I stay with you for a while."

"How long is a while? And we really should tell your mother where you are. She'll be worried sick!" her Grandmother stated. "And after the weekend, you must be enrolled in a school."

"I don't mind that, just please don't tell her? Not yet anyway. She'll come get me, and I don't want to go back. Please."

"I won't tell her, for now. But you must. Rika if you don't tell her where you are in seven days then I shall have to tell her. She's probaly got a search going all over China for you right now. I'm surprised she hasn't called me." Rika liked being with her Grandma. She felt as if Seiko was the only one who understood her. "You must be hungry." Her Grandma walked out of the room and into the kitchen. She made a delicous feast of food. Things Rika wasn't used to eating.

At eight o'clock they sat and talked a little while longer.

"I met some friends." Rika said

"Really, who?"

"Well the first person I met was a boy. He was at the docs when I got off the ship. Henry his name was."

"It wouldn't happen to be Henry Wong would it?" her grandma asked.

"err yeah, I think it is. Why?"

"I know his father, and him. He's been here a many times to fix my computer. His father works for some company in the city. Sweet boy."

"Yes he is." Rika said, her grandmother smiled.

"Who else did you meet?" she asked.

"Jeri Katou."

"The resturant owners daughter? The I suppose you know Takato too? He lives in the bakery."

"Yes I do." They carried on talking until it was fairly late.

"Granmda, I'm tired. Where can I sleep?" The first guest room is down the hall first door on you left."

"Thank you. Good Night." Rika walked down to her new room, undressed and got into bed. The room was a soft lavender and cream. She liked it alot. Rika fell asleep quickly, off into the dream world.

The next day, Rika awoke at the reasonable time of nine thirty. She showered and changed back into her clothes. When she walked into the kitchen she found her grandma cooking breakfast.

"Are you hungry? I'm making eggs." she said.

"A little" Rika replied, sitting down at the wooden table.

"What are your plans for today?" her grandma asked.

"I think i'll go and see Jeri. She still has my things. What are you doing?"

"I need to go shopping. You can come if you like. I suspect you'll need some new clothes." her grandmother said. Rika smiled.

The ate breakfast, talking about what Rika had done over the past few years. Around eleven Seiko took her grandaughter to the mall and bought her some new clothes. Jeans, t-shirts, shorts they spen alot of money, but Rika was very grateful and she promised she would contact her mother. Soon.
