~Chapter 1~
Ryou flopped down on his bed. Nothing to do and it was raining outside in the streets of Britain. What a waste of a day, he thought. It seemed even Mother Nature didn't like him. He lived in Britain, he was happy with that, even though he was often alone. He had nothing to do. He didn't really have any friends because he was one of those outcasts, wasn't a jock, prep, geek, nerd, or tombish. He was somewhat of a goth, but he didn't like to label himself. He was alone at his two story house with Amane, waiting for his father Yaten to come home. He was out at the college teaching archeology. Amane never talked to him or Ryou, ever. She had her own 'perfect' little life where all those 'perfect' little people fitted in, all excluding Ryou. She was into girly things like hair and make-up. It really made no difference but to her it mattered. She had friends. She was happy. Ryou was okay, but he could be doing a hell of a lot better.
"Meow." A snow colored cat hopped onto Ryou's bed and into his lap, cuddling against his legs. He smiled. He always loved this cat, she reminded him of his mother, Marie, so he gave her a name closest to that which was Mara. Mara was kind and loved to be around Ryou, she was basically the only friend Ryou had. She had always been there, she always cared about him. It were almost like she was human. He loved Mara to death, loved her more than anything else because she was so much like his mother Marie. He held her up to his face. "How's my Mara doing this evening?"
Amane, who was passing by snorted, "Geek."
"Prep." Ryou shot back, Amane stiffened then threw a pillow at him. She missed by just an inch.
"At least I don't talk to cats, and I am not a prep, just so you know, nerd." Amane scoffed then left, entering her own room. At some points Ryou loved his younger sister but at some times he would just love to sock her one. He lazed back, staring out the window covered with rain drops and dew. Life was horrible, Ryou thought, just as he thought things could never get any worse than they already were. He soon sensed the presence of Yaten walking toward his room. He entered, taking off his hat and sitting on the far end of the bed.
"Amane, honey, can you come here for a second?" He shouted, Amane groaned.
"I'm on the phone da!"
"Well put whoever it is you're talking to on hold, this is important." He turned to face Ryou who was lying there all confused. Mara jumped off the bed and went into the living room when Amane came in. She rolled her eyes at the cat. "I think Ryou's cat hates me."
"Don't worry, she does."
"Shut it Ryou!" She shoved his legs out of the way so she could sit, the room was silent and all eyes were on Yaten. "Dad, what's wrong? You seem happy but also worried and stressed at the same time. What is the matter?" Yaten looked down and took Amane's hand, squeezing it gently.
"You two know I love you, right? And that I only do what I thinks best."
"Of course." Ryou nodded, Amane flicked her hair. "Whatever."
"I've been offered to teach at a college university over in Japan. But being in Japan- it would mean we'd have to move so I haven't accepted it yet because I wanted to know if my family would mind moving."
Amane stood up and clenched her fists, taking a deep breath she finally spoke, voice cracking. "No. Way. Am. I. Moving." Ryou grabbed his pillow and held it to his chest, rocking back and forth. He couldn't believe this, either way, he wasn't going to give up the offer. He would be selling the house and they would be moving. He couldn't just move! This was his mothers house! She grew up here- it was the only memory left or even existence of his mother! His father couldn't do this- he was joking- he had to be. He's joking, that's it... or is he? Ryou didn't want to move, it wasn't fair.
"Ryou? Speak to me-"
"No, you're just doing what you think is best and by that you are erasing the memory of Mother just like that!" He shouted, startling the two. Ryou had never yelled before and so they were not used to it. Amane pointed at Yaten.
"Da, we have friends here! We don't want to go to Japan! They speak a whole different language there! Us, two British kids among tons of Japanese! People will notice, we won't fit in Da! You will totally ruin us! Sure, I'm proud of my heritage, but them? They will think we're weird! I don't want to be one of the new kids people stare at or make fun of!"
"Amane, calm down, please listen to me-"
"I will not calm down! I HATE YOU!"
"Amane-"
"I'm not moving to Japan and you can't make me! We're happy here!" Amane shouted, Ryou cried into his pillow. "You can't do this to us dad! What about mother? This house belonged to her and you're just going to sell it off? It belonged to her, if you sell this house and make us move you'll be erasing our only memory of her! Please don't make me and Amane move with you to Japan!"
"How will you support yourselves? You need money, you'd be un supervised, how would you make it!?!" Yaten yelled.
"We do that already since you're always out on a dig!!!" Amane shouted back, this time hurt. "You're barely ever home, you send us money and we have jobs already! We could survive on our own without your presence here!"
"You and your brother are going and that's that!" Yaten ordered, Amane stomped her foot and the two started yelling at each other in their native language. Ryou dug his face even more into the pillow, trying not to show he was crying. He was already enough of a wimp as it was, even his own sister thinks that, but moving wasn't the issue for him. It was meeting new people. Getting them to accept him. How the hell was he going to be able to do that when he couldn't even get people over here to accept him? This totally blew Ryou's mind away. It just wasn't fair!!!
"I HATE YOU!" Amane ran out of the house. Yaten ran a hand though his hair and calmly, staring at the ceiling. Amane would be back. This wasn't the first time she said those hurtful words to him, she always did that when she never got her way. Ryou wept into the pillow, letting out loud sobs. He didn't care about showing his emotion now because it really didn't matter anymore.
"Ryou?"
"I need to be alone right now." Ryou looked up, face full of tears. Yaten silently walked out of the room following Ryou's wishes and closed the door behind him. "I promise things will be a lot better over there. I'm only doing this for you two."
~~~~~~~~~
"Please make sure you are buckled in, we are arriving at our destination point. Welcome to Domino Japan, we hope you enjoyed your flight and please choose Hakako airlines again for your next flight. Thank you, have a nice day." A flight attendant said, Ryou rolled his eyes. He knew that the flight attendant didn't give a shit about whether they enjoyed the flight at all. Soon enough, the plane landed and the passengers all stood to get out. Amane took off her sunglasses and placed them in her small blue backpack, zipping it up and slinging it over her shoulder before standing up.
Ryou groaned then stood, following Yaten and Amane. They picked up their luggage (what they brought with them on persona, there other stuff was being shipped on another plane) Amane looked at the signs which said "Welcome to Domino" or "Konichiwa". She let out a dry laugh.
"They must have run out of names when it came to this town,"
"Amane! Shh!" Yaten scolded while walking out the exit. "We're going to go see out new house soon, aren't you exited about that?"
Amane scowled, "Jeeze, does it really show?" she said in a sarcastic tone, placing her sunglasses back on.
"Don't listen to her Dad, I'm kind of excited about seeing the house. But- ... oh never mind, it's not important anymore." Ryou picked up the small handheld cage that Mara was in along with his backpack and started walking. He wondered how ugly the house was going to be. It was probably cheap or something. Their father was such a cheapskate.
~~~~~~
"Woah!!! It's awesome Dad!" Amane stared up at the house with wonder and amazement. There which was standing in front of them was a two story house with what looked like 4 bedrooms. It was a blue house with a huge window where the living room was, a window above the garage, and one above the huge window. "I got dibs on the room with the window!!!" Amane ran into the house, Ryou scratched his head.
"I guess it's okay..."
"What? You don't like the house? You get to pick the room you want!"
"No- it's- it's not that. It's just not home...at least not yet, I guess." Ryou walked inside the house, letting Mara out of her cage. He patted her soft fur, "So, Mara, which room shall we claim as ours?" Mara stretched, after being in a cage for 12 hours even a cat would have to stretch. She got on all fours and leaped up the stairs, looking around the bedrooms. "Hissssss!!!!!"
"Ayaaa!!! Ryou get your damn cat out of here!"
Ryou laughed and walked into the room where he heard screaming. "Come on Mara, let's choose another room." Ryou walked out of the room, Mara glared at Amane and hissed again before curling it's tail and following Ryou. "Stupid cat!" Amane hissed, Mara searched for Ryou and came among a room which was huge. It's walls were painted a dark blue with the ceiling left white. Ryou came in and looked around. "Ah! Mara, it's perfect!"
"Meow..." Ryou took his back pact off and laid sheets on the floor. His real bed wasn't here yet because they were still sending it so the sheets would have to do. Besides, it wasn't all that bad, the floors had a grayish carpet which was very soft. Ryou stretched out on the sheet and closed his eyes, feeling Mara snuggle up against his leg.
"Hmm... maybe it won't be so bad after all..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ILS: Boooo!!!! You suck!!!
Mob: ... *is hurt*
ILS: Eh- okay- it wasn't that bad-
Mob: I don't know... maybe it was bad... but anyways, I had to leave it off right there because it's already a long chapter as it is.
ILS: Wow. No criticism? For sure I thought you were gonna hurt me
Mob: No, it's getting kinda old. And I'll just let you live on being a jerk.
ILS:.....ok, I'm sorry....... *puppy eyes* forgive me?
Mob: *scowls* rrrrggh, whatever. Okay, please R&R, even if you don't like it I'm still going to continue because this fic has a very important point which I want to express because half the people who live in a country go though it. What "it" is, I'm not going to say for now because It'd ruin everything. So please R&R. Arigato.
ILS: No you don't...
Mob: Will you ever let me have my moment?
ILS: Nope.
