The Missing Sailor
Chapter 1
" Emma get out of bed now!" Mrs.Hanzo yelled outside her thirteen-year-old daughter's bedroom. The girl opened her eyes slowly. Her crystal Blue orbs shimmering in the morning sunlight. She moaned and rolled off of her bed and onto the floor with a thump. Emma faced the ceiling with her curly brown locks covering her face.
" Happy now? I'm out of bed!" she yelled back blowing hair out of her mouth. Emma lay there for a minute until a tall woman with brown hair tied up in a bun, with brown eyes and in a blue pants suit walked in. The woman looked over Emma and smiled.
" Get up" She said hoisting Emma up to her feet.
" Mom?" Emma asked shaking the hair out of her face.
" What, sweetie?" Mrs. Hanzo asked Emma.
" Explain again why I can't be home schooled." Emma sighed with a pouty look on her face.
" Because your father and I have those silly little things people call jobs" Mrs. Hanzo laughed. Emma rolled her eyes and went into the bathroom to change into her school uniform.
When Emma pulled on her second sock, she looked at herself in the full length mirror.
" There is no way this skirt would be allowed at my school in America." Emma scowled.
Her uniform was a short blue skirt ( which only came down to the middle of her thigh) and a white blouse with a red bow in the front. What she really hated about the blouse was that it had a collar that looked like it was from an old-fashioned navy uniform.
" EMMA! LET'S MOVE!" someone called form downstairs.
" I'M COMING JOSH!" Emma yelled back at her seventeen-year-old brother.
Since Josh had gotten his drivers licence so easily in Japan he had been appointed as Emma's chauffeur to school. Emma took a quick look at her hair, which she absolutely hated. It was poofy, and frizzy and she could never make it stay down. Before going downstairs to get a quick breakfast, she once again tried to hold her hair down with hair spray but then realized it was a hopeless task and walked down stairs brushing out the last of her knots.
Emma walked into the kitchen where her brother had been sitting about to chew into some peanut-butter toast. Josh was 6 feet tall with jet-black hair like their father but deep brown eyes like their mother. Emma on the other hand had brown hair like her mother ( although her mother's hair wasn't and never was curly) but blue eyes like her father. She was five foot, four inches.
" What took you, squirt?" Josh asked looking at his sister who rolled her eyes. Josh stood up and ruffled her hair.
" JOSH! Don't." she yelled very annoyed and shooting her brother an icy glare. Josh just shrugged and went back to his toast. Emma took a blueberry muffin out of its plastic casing and went to take a bite out of it. Before she could sink her teeth into the cake it was shoved into her face sending muffin crumbs up her nose. She choked managing to yell his name in annoyance.
" Better hurry or your going to be late for your first day of school" Josh laughed as he grabbed his car keys and went into the garage. Emma blew the chunks out of her nose as her mother walked in.
" MOM! Do you know what Josh just did?" Emma yelled.
" Emma. I can't talk now! I have to get to class!" Mrs. Hanzo yelled. She was a literary arts professor at he Tokyo University.
"But"
" Emma! Listen to me. I can't talk!"
" Okay" Emma sulked.
" I have late night classes tonight and Daddy has a late night experiment. Listen to josh and do your homework right after school. I know it's Friday but I don't want you spending your weekend working..what am I forgetting? Oh yes. BE GOOD!" Mrs. Hanzo was out the door in a flash.
" EMMA! Get your butt out here before I come and get it myself!" Josh yelled from his car honking the horn
" I'm Coming!" Emma yelled walking into the garage swallowing what was left of her muffin.
" ya know?"
" what?"
" We have five minutes till home room. I really think we should get out of the car now"
Josh looked at Emma who was running her fingers through her brown, curly hair in the passenger seat of his black Mercedes.. " Emma. You know that whenever you do that your hair just gets frizzier." Josh chuckled. He immediately got himself an icy glare.
" Shut up baka!" she scowled.
" Wow. I see you have updated your Japanese vocabulary!" Josh laughed even though he had just been called an idiot in a foreign language.
" I SAID SHUT UP!" She yelled. Several students walked passed the car in curiosity to all the yelling. Josh just laughed and got out of the car. Emma's eyes followed him as he walked around to the passenger side. Josh was about to open the door for her when she locked it.
" Oh you think that's funny?" Josh asked with an annoyed look on his face.
" ha HA" she yelled.
" EMMA!" Josh yelled. She just stuck her tongue out at him.
" My mommy says I'm not allowed to talk to strangers sir." She said in a childish voice.
" EMMA ROSE!" He yelled even louder, having more kids stare along with it.
" what'cha gonna do about it?" she asked. Josh was growing impatient.
'Click' Emma's face fell from a smile to a frown in a flash. Josh had just used hi car remote to unlock the door.
" ah shi-," she began. Josh gave her the 'I wouldn't do that if I were you' look. " -taki mushrooms." she said quickly, sighing in relieve that she didn't say what she wanted to say.
" That's what I thought you were going to say," Josh said as he opened the door. Emma tried to give him the ' puppy-dog face' but he only replied with " nice try kid." Josh held his hand for Emma. She reluctantly took it and he pulled her out of the car. Slowly the siblings walked into the new school together.
Emma and Josh wandered the hallways in search for the Attendance office. When the found it they found a round woman with her black hair in a tight bun and glasses sitting on her nose. By the looks of it she wasn't very nice either.
" konnichiwa?" Josh asked questioningly.
" Yes?" The lady replied with a scowl.
" We are new students." Josh asked slightly afraid.
The woman sighed and asked, " names?"
" Emma and Joshua Hanzo" Josh replied quickly.
" Let me print out your schedules" she said dryly. Josh started to whistle but the secretary snorted in disgust. Josh stopped at once. The lady handed them two papers. One was their schedule and the other looked like it was a supplies list. Emma and Josh were about to walk out of the office when the secretary started to yell at them. " Where are you going!" she yelled.
" To class!" Josh said in fear. He had a feeling that she didn't like him very much. Or anyone in that school for that matter.
" YOU CAN'T! YOU HAVE TO GO SEE THE PRINCIPLE!" she hollered. She pointed one of her chubby fingers to a door. They quickly scurried and knocked on the door. When they had received permission to enter they quickly shut the door behind them.
" Who are you?" a man asked. He was round but not as much as the secretary. He was graying in his beared and his hairline seemed to be deteriorating as well. Josh and Emma bowed their heads in respect.
" Our names are Josh and Emma Hanzo sir." Josh replied.
" Ah. I heard you two were coming today." he smiled at them. Emma and Josh were starting to recover from their meeting with the secretary. " My name is Mr.Kamasuni" he replied holding out his hand. The two shook it and sat down in two if the four empty chairs. " Josh. It seems you are very fluent with your Japanese."
" Yes sir. I was born in Japanese. Then we went and lived in the United States. That's where Emma was born." Josh replied.
" How is your sister's Japanese? Can she understand it at all?" Mr.Kamasuni.
'What! Do I look like a retard? I am half Japanese. Wouldn't he think I would speak the language.?'
" I speak the language completely, sir" Josh could sense the hostility in Emma's voice. He shot her a warning look.. Mr.Kamasuni didn't seem to notice.
" Emma. Do you have any questions?."he asked. There was only one question that could come to her mind.
" Do you have a drama department sir?"
" Yes. We do. They meet every Monday and Thursday" Emma's eyes got really big. Josh noticed the excitement in his sister's eyes.
" That will be perfect for this little drama queen"Josh laughed as he watched his sister give him a murderous glare.
" Shut up! He was talking to me not you!" Emma said in English so the principle would not understand them.
" Don't tell me to shut up! And besides.."
" besides what?" Emma asked
" It's true!" he yelled.
" You jack-," Josh gave her the look again
" You Donkey!" she yelled.
" THAT'S IT!" Mr.Kamasuni yelled. He didn't look mad but very annoyed. Emma and Josh went cherry red.
" GOMEN!" the quarreling siblings said in unison.
" Now. I know you two do not know your way around the school. So I found two students who were in all of your classes." Within two seconds there was knock on the door. Mr.Kamasuni gave permission for the knockee to enter. Two girls came in and bowed One of the girls was Josh's age. She had very long, blond hair. She had it in two buns on each side of her head and pig-tails flowing from the base of each 'meatball'. The other girl was Emma's age. She had shorter pink hair. She had a bee-hive style on each side of her head and hair at the base like the other girl's hair. The girls occupied the two empty seats.
" Josh this is Serena. She will show you to all of your classes." Josh looked like he was in love. The girl was very pretty. She smiled at Josh and he went bright red.
" oh brother" the two younger girls said in unison. They looked at each other and giggled.
" And Emma, this is Rini, Serena's younger sister." Mr.Kamasuni introduced.
" Hi"
" Hi!"
" hiya" Serena greeted.
" Hi" Josh replied in a daze. Emma rolled her eyes and smacked her love-struck brother over the head. " OW!" He yelped in pain.
" Hey lover- boy. Leave the girl alone and pay attention!" Emma yelled in English. Serena and Rini looked at Mr.Kamasuni in confusion.
" Are they speaking in a different language?" Serena asked.
" Yes. They moved here from America" Mr.Kamasuni replied. " They have been at this for quite a while." The sisters giggled.
" I can't help it! She's pretty!" Josh yelled.
" ' I can't help it she's pretty!'," Emma mocked, " OH GIVE ME A BREAK!"
" Emma! I swear. You knock it off! I AM your OLDER Brother!" Josh yelled. " YOU DO WHAT I SAY WHEN I SAY IT!"
" Oh come ON Josh! We don't live in the Colonial Times. Girls and women are independent citizens!"
" OH SHUT UP!" Josh yelled.
" GREAT come back!"
" EMMA ROSE! I'LL TELL MOM!"
" oooo I'm SOOOOOO scared!"
" You Bi-," Josh started . Then he got a taste of his own medicine. Emma shook her finger.
" I wouldn't say that if I were you!" she mocked.
" FEMALE DOG!"
" BAD BOY!"
" I AM NOT A DOG!"
" WELL YOU SURE DROOL LIKE ONE! ESPECIALLY OVER PRETTY GIRLS!"
" QUIET!" Mr.Kamasuni, Serena and Rini yelled. Emma and Josh went redder than usual.
" GOMEN!" they said in unison, again.
" You four should go to class!" Mr.Kamasuni said rubbing his temple
" Hai sir" they said. They slowly rose and walked to the hallway. Emma's attitude changed as soon as she saw all of the kids looking at her.
' Now I know how the new Asian kids felt in my old school' she thought to herself. Josh noticed the sudden change in her attitude. He could sense that she was scared.
" Listen Emma" Josh started. Emma looked up at him. Her lip was quivering and she was trying to hold back tears. ". I will come with you to your first class. BUT only your first class! But after that it's Rini's job" Josh smiled at the pink headed girl. Rini blushed. Emma was very happy. She wrapped her arms around his waist and hugged him tightly.
" DOMO ARIGATO!" she squealed. Emma loved her brother. There were times where she to rip his head off and wanted him to die of course, but she loved him.
" Can't- breath!" Josh wheezed. Emma loosened her grip. Josh gasped for breath. " okay. Now Serena?"
" What?"
" How do we get to her first class?" Josh asked smiling. Serena laughed and guided them to her class.
" You gonna be okay kid?" Josh asked. Emma wrapped her arms around her brother again. " Emma, you really have to stop doing this! For 13 years old for Pete's sake!"
" gomen." she said quietly. Emma was really nervous now. The worst thing had happened. Not only did her morning suck her first class was her worst subject. Math.
" okay Emma. Take one step into the room" Josh said as if he were talking to a three year old. Emma didn't move. She was frozen in place. Her eyes were glassy. He knew she was scared out of her mind. Josh sighed. He looked over to Serena and Rini. They were trying to hold back their laughs. Josh could only think of one thing.
" JOSH! PUT ME DOWN!" Emma came back to reality. Josh had thrown his sister over his shoulder. He had walked right into the classroom. Emma was red in the face. She started kicking her feet. Josh had to hold her skirt down so he couldn't really do any thing about her punching his back. All of the kids in Emma's class stared. The incredibly immature girl kicking and screaming cuss words in a foreign language.
" EMMA! LANGUAGE!" Josh yelled. Emma went silent. Josh Set her down.
" Josh?"
" What, brat?"
" I was going to apologize but now I guess I won't if your not going to be snotty about it!"
" Gomen"
" I'm sorry. Ya know, for swearing, screaming, kicking, swearing, smacking you over the head, swearing, kicking a dent into your car-,"
" YOU WHAT!" Josh yelled
" Kidding" Emma smiled innocently.
" Brat!" Josh smiled. He walked Emma to her seat and left. There were three girls staring at her.
" I hear she's from America." one of them said.
" Did you see that guy with her?" The another one asked.
" Let's give her the welcome wagon," The third one said, She seemed to be the leader. She had silky black hair and blue eyes. The first girl had brown hair and brown eyes. The third girl had Black Hair Brown eyes,
" Hey Rini?"
" What do You want Sakura?" Rini asked in annoyance.
" We just want to meet your new friend." Sakura said as if she were three years old.
Emma Was completely oblivious to the girl's attitude.
" My name is Emma Hanzo." Emma held out her hand. The three girls laughed.
" Sorry. Did you say your name is Emma?" The first girl asked.
" What's wrong with her name, Aya?" Rini snapped at the brown haired girl. Aya laughed at Rini.
"Ooooooooh. Aya don't look now. Little miss Tsukino is gonna get mad!"
" Your right Chidori! Little tiny Rini is getting feisty!" Aya said to the third girl.
" GIRLS!" Sakura yelled, "I have my questions!" She turned to Emma again. Emma was starting to realize that these girls were the preps of the school. " so..Emma," Sakura said trying to hold in a laugh. But she was failing miserably, " who was that guy you were with?"
" My brother." Emma said. Her temper was starting to show. She couldn't stand seeing these girls treating Rini like dirt.
" Well. So he isn't your boyfriend?"
" Hell no! Even if he wasn't my brother he is way too old for me!" Before Emma could say anything else, the bell that meant the start of class rang.
"Good morning, class." The teacher said. She was very pretty. She looked like she was straight out of college. She had long black hair that was tied up into a pony tail. She was fairly tall. Maybe as tall as Josh maybe about and inch shorter.
" Good morning, Mrs. Takanara" the class droned.
" Well, today we have a new student from the United States." The class did not look too interested. " Emma, How about you come up here." Emma rose from her seat. Everyone stared at her. Which didn't make her very comfortable. It seemed that everyone was looking at her hair. She hated her hair. No matter what she did it wouldn't be at least a little manageable. Her big, poofy, brown hair. When Emma reached the teacher, Mrs. Takanara smiled. " Emma, maybe the class has some questions for you. Class." the expression on the class's face didn't change. Mrs. Takanara gave them a warning look and two people raised their hands. " Kori. Do you Have a question?" Kori looked like she was the smart girl of the class. She had her black hair in a braid down her back. Her blacked rimmed glasses looked like they were from Harry Potter. She was pretty. But her glasses hid it.
" Yes. Where in the United Sates are you from?"
" I am from Pennsylvania. It's on the eastern side."
" Did you live in Philadelphia or Harrisburg?" She asked with interest.
" Actually, no. I lived in a small village called Brackney." Kori looked disappointed "But, I have been to Philadelphia three times." Kori's face perked up a bit.
" Really! Have you been to Franklin Institute?"
" yes."
" How about the liberty bell?"
" uh..no"
" How about-," Kori had a whirlwind of questions, but she was cut off by the teacher.
" Any other questions?" A boy in the back raised his hand. Mrs. Takanara seemed to roll her eyes at the boy. " okay, Katsuro"
" What's THAT on your head?" he asked pointing at her hair. The class roared with laughter. Emma was appalled. Rini saw the look on her face. She ran up to the front of the class in front of Emma.
" WHAT IN KAMI'S NAME IS WRONG WITH YOU GUYS?" Rini yelled. The class silenced. " THIS GIRL IS FROM ANOTHER COUNTRY NOT FROM ANOTHER PLANET!" Rini seemed touchy though when she said ' another planet.' " I BET YOU GUYS DIDN'T EVEN KNOW SHE IS HALF JAPANESE!" The class looked surprised. Mrs. Takanara took that as a cue to cut in.
" OKAY! I think it's time to move on to our assignment." The class groaned.
The next 4 classes went that way. More introductions, more questions, and more rude comments about Emma's hair. Mostly from the Katsuro kid. By the time lunch came around Emma felt like she was going to explode. Her whole family knew she was sensitive about her hair. She yearned for her hair to be straight and silky. But at that time it was not an option.
Rini showed her to the cafeteria. Apparently Josh and Emma had the same lunch period. At the point she really needed a big brother to hug.
" JOSH!" Emma saw him standing outside the entrance to the cafeteria. Josh found himself being hugged around his waist by a 13 year old.
" Tough day?" Josh asked Rini. She nodded. Emma was crying. She had the worst day of her life. Sakura's group teasing her about being a half-blood. Katsuro making fun of her hair. Emma looked up to her brother. Tears staining her cheeks. Emma gave him a familiar look.
" oh no" Josh sighed. He looked angry.
" oh no what?" Serena asked as she came down the hallway.
" Rini. Who made fun of her hair?" Josh asked. Serena stood there looking confused. She looked at Emma's red face. It was obvious that she was crying.
" Emma." Serena said sympathetically, " I think your hair is beautiful"
" Rini who made fun of her hair?"
" Oh. A whole bunch of people. But mostly the Katsuro guy."
" Where is he?" Josh asked. Rini pointed to the table in the cafeteria by the soda machines. Katsuro was the kid with black hair and green tips. Josh unwrapped himself and handed Emma to Serena. Serena hugged her as josh went to the table. Josh saw the kid. Katsuro saw Josh but didn't think of Josh as a threat. Josh kneeled down beside Katsuro. " Hello Katsuro" Josh looked at him.
" What do you want?"
" Have you met anyone that you called ' puff-ball' today?" Josh asked. Puff ball was always the nickname kids would come up with for Emma.
" yeah! Man. Did you see her hair? It's like those things called, what were they..uh.. FURBY'S!" Josh didn't like that answer.
" Do you know who I am?" Josh asked.
" no"
" Her brother" Josh said. Katsuro gulped "You see, ' puff-balls' name is Emma. She has a really hard time keeping her hair under control. She hates her hair. It's not her fault her hair is curly. It's just how it happened. Now. In our old school everyone wouldn't even dare to make fun of her hair when I'm around." Katsuro gulped again " Now what I'm going to have you do is go over and apologize to Emma and buy her an ice cream." Josh pulled out his wallet and gave him some money. Katsuro nodded and followed Josh over to the girls.
" Emma. Katsuro has something to say to you" Josh said. Emma looked up to see her brother with the kid who would make fun of her.
" JOSH! WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO!" she yelled. " I WANTED COMFORT NOT FOR YOU TO SCARE HIM TO DEATH!" she stood up and kicked Josh in the shin.
" OUCH!" Josh yelped. Emma looked over to Katsuro. He did look scared to death. But he wasn't afraid of Josh. He was afraid of her. He saw her yell at Josh when he forced her into the classroom. Now she was kicking the crap out of him.
" Uh..Poo- I mean Emma" Katsuro started taking Emma's her attention off her brother.
" WHAT!" she yelled. Than she softened her tone and answered again, " what?"
" gomen, For making fun of your hair. I want to buy you ice cream." Emma was suprised. Then she shot Josh a death glare and he flinched afraid of what she would do. " no. I WANT to buy you and ice cream." Emma was still surprised. Finally she softened.
" okay" Katsuro nodded and turned to the ice cream line. Emma followed. Through out lunch She sat with Rini and Katsuro as Serena introduced Josh to her friends, Ami and Mina.
For the rest of the day if anyone made a negative comment about her hair Katsuro was there to defend her. Emma was starting to get used to the idea of going to a foreign school. Katsuro was being nice too. Not ' being forced by the older brother' nice but 'friends' nice.
" Serena, do you have a ride home?" Josh asked.
" um.. Actually I usually walk home."
" Let us give you a ride!" Emma yelled.
" Are you sure?" Serena asked
" YES!" Emma yelled pulling Rini to the Mercedes .
