Chapter 1
"But why do you have to go?" Aono complained.
Aono was helping her big brother Tsuyoshi clear out his room and take his stuff down to his parent's car. He was leaving to go and live with his friends Akito and Naozumi in their flat in the centre of Tokyo.
"I've already told you, it's too cramped here, ive got mum and that stupid stepdad breathing down my neck to be good all the time, its just too much!"
"Yeah, I know how you feel..." Aono trailed off as she picked up a box crammed full of junk and started to take it down the stairs. Tsuyoshi followed her down with a bag of his old clothes, and looked wearily at Aono's carefree body, racing down the stairs.
"Aono, be carefull, you're carrying a heavy box, remember?"
"Yeah, yeah, calm down, it's no trouble!"
Thier dog yelped as Aono stumbled and dropped the box and all it's contents onto the hall floor, some of it nearly landing on the poor dog's paw.
"What was that loud noise?" Her mother flew into the room looking concerned.
"Aono, I told you to be careful!" Tsuyoshi groaned.
"Sorry, sorry! Gimme a break..." Aono was scampering round the room franticly picking up bits and peices and tossing them into the box.
"Hey, be careful with that! And you dont need to be so cheeky! Come on, do you want to come to the apartment or not? You're dad's waiting in the car, and has been for a while now. I always knew that if someone was going to drop something, it was going to be you..." Aono's mother sighed.
"Look, I said I was sorry, what more do you want? And he's NOT my dad..." She muttered.
In the end, Aono hadn't been allowed to go, her stepdad had made sure of that. Although she didnt know it yet, it was lucky, in more ways than one. She loved to draw, and was quite good at it. Her drawings were often entered in competitions, and some emerged victorious. It was late afternoon, and Aono and her mother were in the living room, Aono, drawing, her mother, fretting. She cared so much about her husband, and Aono didnt know why. He was late home. Even though he was only due home 15 minutes before, Aono's mother had already worked herself up into a state.
"Oh, relax, it's only been 15 minutes! He'll have stopped by at a garden store or something, you know what he's like..." Aono returned to her drawing, and was so consumed by it, that she almost didnt hear the phone ringing, 10 minutes later. Her mother leaped up to answer it.
"Hello? Oh... Yes, here she is." She held the phone out to Aono.
"Aono, it's for you, I think it's Sana." It was.
"Hi Sana, how are you?" Aono asked.
"Hey, listen, I cant talk for long, I'm on air soon, but I just HAD to tell you. You know that radio show that sponsors one of your art competition? And you know I'm a guest today? Well, guess what? They just announced the winners of the competition, and you got 2nd place!!"
Aono gasped. Was her work really that good? Sana frantic voice went on.
"They're gonna phone all the winners in about 5 minutes, so that means you, and two others are gonna be on the radio, all over Japan! But hey, it was supposed to be a surprise, so try to remember that!" Sana giggled. "Sorry, but I gotta go now! Bye! And well done!" She hung up.
Aono's ears were still ringing from the news. She decided not to tell her mum yet. Though she just couldn't help herself from smiling, while she sat down and picked up her half finished picture.
"What are you grinning about?" Her mother asked.
"Oh it's nothing, Sana just asked me to the cinema with her to see a movie that i really wanted to see. It's got a really cute guy in it!" Aono lied.
"You girls..." She sighed, shaking her head in a disapproving way. 5 minutes later, the phone rang.
"Hello, can I speak to Aono Sasaki?" said the posh voice at the other end of the line. Aono, who had leaped to the phone quicked than her mother, thought that (as she and her mum had the same 1st name) the speaker meant her, said
"Yes, that's me."
"There's been an accident. Tsuyoshi Sasaki is dead."
