Chapter one: Moving to Japan
A young girl sat next to the window in an airplane over the Pacific ocean. The girl sighed as she looked out the window and into the water, knowing that it wasn't going to be easy living in Japan. Her father had just gotten a job in Tokyo and had to move there in order to fulfil his duties.
Although, she did not really like the idea of moving and leaving her friends behind, but her father told her that people have got to move on in life. Even though he knew that she'd miss her friends to much, she'd still have the chance to make new ones. But that was the hard part for her. If only she was able to stay with her friends. Then, and only then, would she really be happy. The more she thought about it, the less she liked the idea of living in Japan. Although she learned the language and nailed it.
'Why...' she thought, 'Why must dad always make the decision instead of letting us do it for a chance.' She continued to stare at the water as the thought came and went. Watching the gentle waves below her slowly makeing their way to the approaching land. Japan. Japan was only a few miles away from her now and she could not help but let out another sigh.
As she slowly shifted her gaze from the water below to the shore of Japan, her mother, who was sitting next to her, placed her hand firmly ontop of hers, making the girl turn her full attention from Japan to her mother.
"We're almost there, are you worried, Rora?" her mother asked.
"No." Rora said softly, bringing her sky blue eyes back to the shore, where she could see tons of people having fun at the beach. As she watched the people having fun from below, she felt her mother stroking her long brown, highlighted hair. Rora turned to face her mother again as soon as she felt her gentle touch and saw a little hint of worriness in her mothers eyes.
"Don't worry mom. Dad says that everything is going to be just fine." Rora said, giving her mother a small smile. Her mother returned the smile with a faint one and turned to the front of the airplane as soon as the intercom came on.
"Everyone, we are now entering Japan. Please fasten your seat belts as we get ready for landing. And we hope that you enjoy your stay here in Tokyo, Japan."
Rora made sure that her selt belt was fastened after the lady on the intercom finished her little speech and turned to look out the window again to see the approaching airport. It wouldn't be long now. She was about to set foot on Japan and become a new person. She dreaded that thought as the plane entered the airport and landed on the runway.
*****
As Rora stepped off the plane and into the airport to look for her luggage, her father went to the front counter to get a map of the city. Rora just stood there, glaring at her father while she grabbed her suit cases.
"I can't believe I have to go through with this." Rora sighed as she finished gathering the suit cases and placing them on a cart. When the last suit case was placed neatly onto the cart, Rora's father came over to her, along with her mother, and grabbed the cart and pushed it all the way to the parking lot.
"Ano, how are we going to get to our new home?" Rora asked.
"Before, we got on the hikoki, I ordered a kuruma for us." her father said as he stopped next to a red mini van.
"Oh..., a mini van..." Rora said softly and then almost yelled out, "THAT'S SO LAME!!!" With her voice echoing thoughtout the parking lot, everyone in the lot turned and looked in her direction. Rora started to blush out of control, while her parents gave her a dirty look. Her dad had already opened the car door, so Rora jumped into the car as fast as she could. Rora's face was beat red now and didn't want to get out of the car until she was at her new home.
As her parents louded up the car, Rora looked out the car window to see the people walking down the sidewalk. One girl walked by and looked very familar to her.
"Hey, that girl looks just like the girl Kagome from that cartoon called InuYasha." Rora said. After that was said, Rora rolled down the window and watched the girl walk down the sidewalk. Just before she turned at the corner, she stopped and turned her head in Rora's direction.
Rora gave a small gasp, but didn't turn away. Instead, Rora raised her hand and lightly swung it. Rora wasn't sure if this was the proper way to say hello, so she said, "K-Konnichi wa."
