It was lunch time at Sakura Elementry School and Sophia sat in the classroom eating her lunch. Today they had Chicken Curry and Sponge Cake. After Lunch, all the students went out to the playground. Sophia, Megan and Leah joined in with a game of jump rope.
"This is fun," Sophia said.
"Yeah," Megan said.
The first lesson after lunch was when Sophia noticed something strange happening. One of her classmates had to give every student in the class a textbook and a worksheet. When Mr Barton asked if the girl wanted help she looked around the room before turning back to the teacher.
"No thanks," The girl said as she carried on with her job.
"Ok." Mr Barton said. "When you get your textbook please turn to page 60"
After school, Megan, Leah and Sophia deiced to visit the sweet shop. Sophia wanted to get some more of her favourite candy.
"Hello. What can I get for you?" The lady asked.
"I will have some love hearts and a bar of caramel delight please, oh can I have a box of fruit drops as well," Sophia said.
"Ok." The lady said as she gave Sophia what she asked for.
Megan went next.
"Oh. If you buy this brand of chocolate then you get one bar free and a ticket to our prize draw" The lady said.
"It's my lucky day," Megan said.
Leah didn't get any sweets or chocolate and when the girls offered to share theirs with her Leah kept saying "No thanks".
Sophia knew that this wasn't Leah's normal behaviour and suspected that a Yo-Kai was behind it.
"Why do you keep touching your watch and why is Leah acting strange?" Megan asked.
"I don't know what's wrong with Leah. Maybe she's tired" Sophia said. Megan turned around and continued to eat her candy. Sophia took this opportunity to use her Yo-Kai watch. She pressed the button on the side, which activated the light. Sophia pointed the light at Leah. The Yo-Kai that Sophia found looked like a human child. He wore a ripped jacket with faded blue shorts. His hair was brown and spiky.
"Found you," Sophia said.
"Found what?" Megan asked.
"Nothing," Sophia said.
"Sometimes I think your crazy Sophia but that's why I like you," Megan said.
The Yo-Kai turned around and noticed Sophia looking at him.
"Who are you?" Sophia asked.
"Nothanks" The Yo-Kai answered.
"No, I asked you what your name is," Sophia said. Esmeralda deiced to help Sophia out.
"Sophia, that does appear to be his name," Esmeralda said as she showed Sophia the page on her tablet device. "Nothanks is a Yo-Kai that makes people turn down everything that's offered to them. He is responsible for the "I just offered to buy lunch for you but you turned it down situation"
Name: Nothanks
Tribe: Heartful
"I guess that makes sense," Sophia said.
"Nothanks can you leave my friend alone," Sophia said. Nothanks hesitated for a second but he did as Sophia asked. Nothanks floated over to Sophia and Esmeralda.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to cause trouble for you. I saw how kind and caring she was and I couldn't help it. I had to inspirit her" Nothanks said. "When I was alive, I lived in a large family and had ten siblings, I was the youngest and their favourite. My parents spoiled me but I never wanted anything they gave me so they threw the items away. The only thing that I kept was a small plastic ball. I really liked it and it was the last present given to me before my parents died in an accident. After that my siblings started to get jealous as my parents gave me most of the money, so they pushed me into a lake and left me to drown. After that, I was re-born as a Yo-Kai. Ever since I've been trying to do good things. I even own a house for homeless Yo-Kai."
"That's a sad story," Esmeralda said.
"Yeah. It's sad but it has a happy ending." Sophia said.
"I will leave your friend alone now. I think it's time for me to go home" Nothanks said. "Before I go I would like you to have this" Nothanks gave his medal to Sophia.
"Your Yo-Kai medal," Sophia said.
"We're are friends now. Call me if you need my help" Nothanks said.
Sophia and Esmeralda smiled at each other.
"Leah. Do you want some of my chocolate?" Sophia asked as she gave three squares to Leah.
"Thank you, Sophia," Leah said.
"Well, I guess everything's back to normal" Sophia said. "As normal as it can be when you have Yo-Kai friends"
Saliornayn Secret Past
Esmeralda and Saliornayn sat on Sophia's roof. It was the weekend and Sophia had gone out with her parents.
"Do you ever think about your life before you became a Yo-Kai?" Saliornayn asked.
"Sometimes I do," Esmeralda said.
"I want to see Samantha one more time to asked her why she left me to drown in the river," Saliornayn said.
Two figures hovered in the sky watching and listening to their conversation.
"There's Sophia's Yo-Kai friends Kin"
"I don't see the girl anywhere."Kin said.
"That's good. Now we can carry on with getting rid of Sophia's Yo-Kai friends". Gin said "Starting with the cat"
Kin got a stone out of her pocket and pointed it towards the sky. A flash of blue light appears along with a clock.
Saliornayn and Esmeralda were still on the top of Sophia's roof, unaware of what's going on above them.
"I'm going to get some fruit drops, Do you want to come?" Esmeralda said. Saliornayn was about to follow Esmeralda when she noticed a bright light coming towards her. It sucked her up and caused her to fall trough time.
"Ahhhhh" Saliornayn screamed as she fell.
Esmeralda looked around but she couldn't see Saliornayn anywhere.
"That's strange. I hope that Sophia comes home soon, she will know what to do."
Samantha House's (Three years in the past)
"Tiggy, come here" A voice called. Sailornayn found herself in a familiar house. The room was cosy and had purple walls. She wasn't in Sophia's house anymore. She also noticed she had lost on of her tails and she didn't have her sailor hat on. Sailornayn was a regular house cat.
"This can't be possible. This house looks so familiar. Did I actually travel back in time"
"There you are Tiggy." Someone said as they picked Saliornayn up
"Samantha"
"Meow"
"Samantha come here please, " Someone else said.
Sophia's House (Present day)
Sophia walked into her room, she was tired from her day out with her family. They went to the mini market, stopped off for lunch at the ramen shop. Sophia enjoyed this as it was her first time trying the dish. They also went to the clothes shop as her Mum had pick an order up.
"Saliornayn, Esmeralda. I'm home" Sophia said but she didn't get an answer. "I guess their not here"
Sophia walked into the living room and turned on the TV. She flicked through the channels until she found something interesting to watch. It was a show about a school for witches. Sophia enjoyed watching TV in her free time.
Sophia could hear her Mum whistling in the kitchen as she tidied up the area.
"Sophia, we have a problem, Saliornayn is missing," Esmeralda said as she appeared in front of Sophia which made her jump.
"You scared the life out of me," Sophia said.
"Sophia is everything ok," Her Mum asked.
"Everythings fine," Sophia answered before she turned to face her Yo-Kai friend.
Samantha's House (Past)
Samantha carried Sailornayn into the kitchen
"Ye, Mum," Samantha said.
"Your report card came today." Samantha's Mum said.
"Really. Is it good?" Samantha asked.
"Most of it is good, the only subject that you got a Fail in was Maths. If you spent a little bit more time studying instead of lying around with that cat of yours then you might get a Pass"
"Mum, you know that I struggle with Maths," Samantha said.
"I know you do but you need to pass the final exam. Samantha, you could have a bright future. Some of the top universities are interested in you already" Samantha's Mum said.
"I don't want to go to Tokyo Mum. I'm want to stay here in Sakura New Town" Samantha said as she left the kitchen carrying Tiggy in her arms.
Saliornayn didn't know what happened next, she vaguely remembered Samantha going out.
Salironayn found herself back on the boat where she first saw Sophia.
"I feel like your the only one that I can talk to Tiggy," Samantha said. "Mum and Dad expect so much from me but they never give me a chance for me to deiced if that's what I want"
"Samantha." Saliornayn thought "How could such a kind and caring girl leave me to drown in the river"
"You know what Tiggy. I don't care what they say. I'm going to work hard and achieve my dreams"
"You should do that Samantha," Saliornayn said. "Meow"
Samantha leant over the edge to look at the water but she didn't see Saliornayn trying to point to the gap in between the river and the deck.
"Samantha...
Time stood still as Saliornayn was pulled into a freeze frame.
"We're giving you another chance." A voice said.
"Who said that," Saliornayn asked.
"We did. You can change the future right now and live your life as a normal cat. You died to protect Samantha but it didn't have to end like that" Kin said.
"Choose wisely," Gin said.
"No. I'm not changing anything." Saliornayn said.
"You silly cat" Kin said as the time stone cracked.
"I remember now. I saved Samantha from falling into the river and she didn't leave me"
Saliornayn found herself falling down and into the water with a splash. Samantha saw this.
"Tiggy, Tiggy come back to me," Samantha said. It was too late. Tiggy was gone.
Saliornayn now back in her Yo-Kai form watched as Samantha rushed over to the other side of the river. She cradled Tiggy in her arms.
"Tiggy, you saved my life. I love you and I will miss you." Samantha sobbed.
"Samantha never left me. She tried to rescue me." Saliornayn said as she floated away.
"Samantha. Don't let anyone tell you what to do. Follow your dreams. Goodbye Samantha, I love you" Saliornayn said as she found herself falling through time again.
Somewhere in Present Day Sakura New Town.
After getting permission from her Mum, Sophia and Esmeralda started to look for Saliornayn. They looked everywhere, soon they found themselves walking back towards Sophia's house.
"I'm really worried about her," Sophia said. "Where could she be?"
"I'm sure that she will come back. Wait, maybe you could summon her with the medal" Esmeralda suggested.
"We can't force her to come back," Sophia said.
"I suppose your right" Esmeralda said.
"Ahhh"
Sophia and Esmeralda looked up and saw Saliornayn falling. She landed on the road in front of them, causing a large hole to appear on the ground. Sophia rushed over to the cat yokai.
"Saliornayn, we have been looking everywhere for you. Where did you go?" Sophia asked.
"On a long trip down memory lane but I'm back now so everything's ok," Salironayn said.
"Yep, everything fine" Sophia said.
The camera closes in on Sophia and her Yo-Kai friends.
