My name is Kaze Uchiri. I live with my step-dad and my two siblings, Aki and Namine. My mom left about a year ago. She said she left to save my uncle and aunt or something like that.
Anyways, I took my time getting ready that morning, which made Riku unhappy. "Kaze, you can take as long as you want. You know you'll get bored of moving like a turtle."
"Hey, I could never get bored of something that made you unhappy," I mumbled under my breath.
"What was that?"
"Nothing."
Even at the extremely slow pace I went, I was eventually ready. So I grabbed my dad's business card and stole a few dollars from Riku's room and left. I bought a train ticket and waited about an hour before it showed up. When I got on, I looked out the window, thinking about what I would say to my dad. I hadn't seen him for 2 years. I had the chance. He called at least once every few weeks to see how I was. "Next stop 'Central Library'."
I got off and walked a few blocks. I was standing in front of the Military Registry Office, when I realised how alone I really was. No time to think about that now. I walked into the building and stared at the reception lady until I gathered my courage. "Unhm.. Ahem. Is Yoshikuni Uchiri in?"
"Yes he is! He is on floor 5, fifth door to your right. Would you like me to escort you there miss?" she said and smiled at me.
"Oh, no thanks, I wouldn't want to bother you."
When I reached his door, I heard some noise coming from inside. I could tell he was on the phone so I decided to wait till he was off. My dad is the Lieutenant Cornell for the West Ozu State Military. "Alright, I hope to hear from you later."
I walked in quietly and stood in front of my father's desk. He hadn't even noticed me walk in. He was writing something down VERY quickly, until a small women said "Um, Sir?"
"Yes Risa, what is it?"
"There is a little girl standing in front of you Sir."
"Oh, What? Kaze! I… uh..what are you doing here."
"I need to talk to you."
He looked worried and politly asked his lady friend to leave. "Is everything alright?"
"I was wondering if… I could come live with you."
"Ah, Kaze, you know your mother would kill me if she came back and you weren't living with Riku! What brought this up?"
"It's nothing, nevermind."
"Hey, listen, since you came all this way, why don't I take you out for dinner?"
"No, thanks anyways, I m just going to go home."
I left before he could say anything else. When I was on the train coming home, I was listening to the news on the radio. " All week will be rain. It will also be quite chilly at night, so get out your extra covers and blankets. Back to you Toshi."
"Thanks Ban. Today, we have word that the legendary songstress Sayoku Uchiwa was spotted in the middle of Longerru forest near Ishiwa. Police failed to capture her, so keep a watch out and let officials know if you have any information on her where-abouts."
I can't believe it…. Mom.
