My name is Kyoko Everest I'm sixteen and live in America with my father Jonathan Everest. My mother is a mid thirties Japanese woman named Ayame Tanaka. I looked like my mother with long dark brown and large purple blue eyes, French father.

It was an ungodly hour in the morning and I was finishing up a 5 page homework assignment for Physic which I hated with I passion. Which is funny cause that's my best friends Kisa and Kyoya Ootori favorite subject, oh to the smart physic loving people.

At 6a.m my life changed my mother who I haven't seen in 3 years due to my abuses alcoholic father called. "Hey my baby girl." She chirped in a high pitch tone.

"Mom?" I asked disbelief showing in my voice.

"Yep, I have an offer for you." She said happily.

"What is it?" I asked as I stood up from my desk putting my homework safely away in my school bag. I opened my door to make sure no one was up.

"I want you and Lena to come live with me In Japan, I've bought you online tickets for Japan if you both chose to leave. Lena parents have okayed it" she said seriously my mother who is never serious wants me to come home how can I refuse it?

"I accept-"I was cut off by a loud crashing sound.

"Dads home I got to go." I said she said something really quick. "Your plane leaves at 10:39." She said and hung up.

"Kyoko Mai-lee(like Miley) Everest!" my father yelled as he opened my door.

I had just enough time to get on my bed with my Laptop in hand to look like I was doing something. "Yes father?" I asked as I closed my laptop.

"Your friend Lenora is here." Lena is a 14 almost 15 freshman at my high school I've known her for a really long time longer than she thinks.

Lena appeared in the doorway with a bright smile on her face. Lena wasn't very tall not even 5.0 I bet shortness runs in the family, she came and jumped next to me as my printer started printing our tickets.

"Your parents okayed it?" I asked her as she lays on her back as I get up and throw all my favorite clothes in a bag, put the tickets in a folder and put said folder in my purse.

"Yah they were actually happy to see me go, why is that?" she asked.

"I'd love to tell you Cookie but I am sworn to secrecy by Coal." I answered her as I walked over to my closet to get dressed.

"That's no fair Kyo-oneesan." She whined.

"You'll live." I mumbled.

I had on a long pair of black jeans with a green tee shirt. I put my messenger bag over my shoulders and grab my ipod and laptop.

When we get to the front door of the way to large house for four people three of which are never there I yell up the stairs to lie to my father. "Dad I going to Lena's for the weekend bye." He would be pissed when he figure out I wasn't coming back.

We made it to the airport around 9oclock checked in and waited. Lena was wearing a green and orange tank top with blue jean long shorts. Her short hair was in two identical low piggy tales with light green ribbons around them.

1 hour later.

"Please buckle your seat belts will be taking off at once." The flight attendant said cheerfully over the inter com.

I buckled my belt so did Lena, She pulled out a coloring book and a box of colors. I put my earphones end and feel asleep, it's a 13hour plane ride from the New York to Tokyo Japan nonstop this plane is taking us straight there.

I feel asleep soon after I think Lena did too.

13 hours and 45 minutes later Tokyo airport

I was currently being hugged to death by my mother and grandmother. "Oh I've missed my baby girl so much." My mother exclaimed.

"I feel so left out." Lena said only to be hugged by my grandmother.

"Don't worry my dear we haven't forgotten about you." Granny said.

Soon my mother released me and a smile tugged at me as I saw someone who I missed dearly. "Kyoya-kun." I cried happily as my arms wrapped around him.

"Kyoko is there a reason why you are making hard for me to breathe." He smirked at me.

"Sorry." I said sheepishly as I went to release him but his wrapped his arms around me . "I don't remembering asking you to let go my dear." He whispered in my ear. This was the relationship we had, he was my very best friend who I could tell anything and everything to he would protect me against my demons.

He let go after that as another person tackled me. "ONEESAN!" it yelled turns out it was Kisa Ootori my unbiological baby sister she 15 almost 16 and is way too much like Fuyumi and Kyoya for one's own good.

"Hey Imoutosan." I said as I wrapped my arms around her she returned the hug.

"I've missed you so much Kyoko ." she said and I whipped her tears from her eyes.

"No need to cry Kisa ." I told her.

"Awww how sweet!" my mother cried happily.

"Realy Mother?" I asked as I looked back at them Lena now holding a black hair little girl.

"Is that?" I asked.

"That is Yumiko your little sister." Yumiko was the last child my mother and father had together before the divorce was final. Dad got me and the two older children who moved out recently to go to college. Mom got Yasushi and Yumiko and stayed in Japan in her home on my grandparent's complex village thing.

Yumiko was born four months after father had taken us to the States. I was about to squat down to tell her to come to me when I feel a pair of arms wrap around my waist. It was Yasushi my 13 year old little brother. I ruffle his dirty blonde hair and kissed his forehead.

"Yoko don't do that." He complained.

"I haven't seen you in 3 years my darling little brother I have the right to hug you ruffle your hair and kiss you." I said happily as he poked my side making me yelp in pain.

"Bruise there hurts." I mumble as he looked at me in a terrified way.

"What happened to you?" he asked.

"I can't tell you." I said as I held my side in pain Lena looked worriedly at me, sharing my pain.

I say my goodbyes to Kyoya and Kisa and mom puts us in her giant SUV, at takes us home. My room looks like it did 3 years ago, green and black no changes were needed at all. I laid on my bed as Lena came and laid beside me. She laid her head on my bruised stomach I winced in pain but I would be fine as long as the stitches didn't come out.

Maybe my life was going to change for I knew as a fact that Tomorrow is always better.
