June 16,
I just woke up. I'm still on the plane. The movie is playing, so I watch it. It's an anime movie, Alien 9. It's only 4:00 in the morning, but I'm not sleepy anymore. I'm just upset. I turn to my mom and she's fast asleep. I put the headphones on to hear the movie. It's in English and Japanese. I listen to it in Japanese, just to get used to it. I watch the movie, feeling slightly better. I wish I were still in America, in my bed, asleep. I change the channel to music, music that is interesting. I look at my locket and think of Kurama, wishing he was here with me, or me back home. We already found someone to buy the house. I really hope my room is being put to good use. I hear they have a girl and a boy too. I wonder if that'll be their room. Sleep has almost found me. I'll write more when I awake completely.
Sincerely,
Kameko Narahashi

It's now 2:00 PM and the lunch cart is coming back around. The planes landing in an hour. I'm happy I have roaming minutes so I can call Kurama. The trolley comes and my mom asks me if I want chicken or pasta. I tell her chicken and I get my food and a cup of water. I completely skipped breakfast so I'm hungry. I lookout the window and I see land. I can't wait to land. My mom asks me if I'm okay. I tell her I am just tired, but otherwise, okay. My mom tells me that we're landing in a few minutes. I smile at her and tell her that I'm excited about being back in Japan. She smiles back.
The plane has just landed and we're getting out. I look around at the new people. We walk into the airport to find the exit or I think we're getting an escort to our house. We find this sign that says "NARAHSHI FAMILY" and we walk there. A guy tells us my dad's new office sent a limousine for us. I guess Japan might not be so bad. I tell my parents that I have to go to the bathroom, so I can have some time for myself. I walk to the bathroom lobby and take out my cell phone to call Kurama. I do and he says he misses me. I tell him I missed him when I first got on the plane. I tell him how the trip here was and the news about being driven to our new home in a limousine. He tells me America isn't the same without me. My mom calls me to tell me that we're leaving. I tell him that I'll call him back when we get to the new house and I'll send him pictures. We say our good byes, hang up, and I go meet my mom. We're in the limousine and it's so cool. It has soda bottles, cookies, for my brother and I, and wine, for my parents. I can't wait to get to my house and my new room. I'm sad about leaving, but I excited to get there. Now I feel very VERY happy! I can't wait! I know my feelings are oxymoron, but it's the way I really feel! I'll love it there, I can feel it! We're just about at our new house. I can see the shrine from here! I feel so happy about being back in Japan! I hope my time here will be as great as I'm expecting it to be. I can just feel that something wonderful is going to happen. I hope I'm right!
Sincerely,
