Kirihara walked down the street, finally rid of his tennis team. It was almost 12:00 and he needed to get on the train soon or else he would miss it. After walking for a couple of minutes he saw the station in front of him, a small sigh of relief escaped and he smiled slightly before it was replaced with a frown. 'Onee-chan.' Tears filled his eyes everytime he thought of his oler sister, she was sick, in America. The doctors called this morning to tell him it had gotten worse. Kirihara glared at the ground and furiously brushed away his tears, 'I'm not going to cry, I am going to see Onee-chan and she will live and then maybe she will come back home.' He nodded and stepped up to a man taking the tickets.
"Got a ticket son?" The man stared at him suspiciously so Kirihara handed him the ticket and got on the train. There was one seat left, next to some lady with a cat by her feet. 'Well,' Kirihara thought. 'Hopefully it can't get worse.' Kirihara fell asleep far into the train ride with the old lady at his side for company. Kirihara thought her insane because she was talking to her cat before he had fallen alseep. A loud voice came over the speaker phone and Kirihara jolted awake from the noise.
"We will be arriving in Hokkidaio in a few minutes, please pack up your things and get ready to unboard. Thank you for traviling with us today, please have a good day." The intercom fell silent and Kirihara grabbed his bag from underneath the seat. Soon enough in two minutes the train had pulled up into the station and people began to file out the doors onto the platform. 'The airport should be near by.' Kirihara thought and started off out through the double doors. The street was busy and loud and Kirihara was sure that he would wake up with a lot of bruises in the morning from getting shoved and bumped into. He walked around half a mile down the road before the airport came into veiw, and Kirihrara had to stop the urge to run ahead and get there to leave as soon as possible. He walked through the spinning doors and into the lobby are of the airport. He reached a hand into his pocket and pulled out a ticket that was given to him from the letter he recieved yesterday night and then grabbed his pasport from his bag. Kirihara approached the small line of people getting their carrry-on bags checked and waited for about 10 minutes before it was his turn.
"If you have any liquids in your bag you have to go to the other section to get them checked. Only one bag is allowed for a carry-on, any metal you have on your person has to be taken off and placed in this bin to be scanned. This includes shoes, cell phones, i-pods, and anything else of the like." A middle aged man said in a monotone voice. Kirihara sighed and put all of the above said in the bin, pushed his bag through, and walked through the metal detector. Thankfully it didn't go off and he got his things back with no fuss. He threw his shoes back on, plugged the i-pod back in, and placed his cell in his back pocket before slinging his bag over his shoulder and heading towards gate number: 12. Kirihara skimmed through his songs, trying to find his favorite visual kei band Antic Cafe, he stopped when he came upon the song Tekesuta Kousen.
Boku no shiranai basho e nigetai Hito ni se wo mukeru koto ni nareta ne
Dokoka tooku ni sugata wo keshitara Sagashite kureru hito dareka imasuka?
Dare no tame ni ikiteruka kangaetetemo kotae wa dete konai
Honto wa ne, sou sukoshi dake, tayoretakute kitai wo shiteitanda
The music pounded through the headphones into his mind, soothing him, and brining a sort of peace to him.
"Yume mita goro wa hitori de iru no ga kowakute iya de"
"Te ni shita nukumori wo jouzu ni kaesu yuuki ga nakute"
"Massugu nobiteku minna no kao wo miru no ga kirai de"
"Ibasho ga hoshii no, kono machi no naka, hitori ni shinai de"
All thoughts of his older sister feld his mind, almost as if he was falling asleep.

"Gate 12 now loading. Gate 12 now loading. Please look around you to see if any of your personal belongings are there. Gate 12 is now loading."
Onaji keiken wo tsundeta kimi wa Boku no ichiban no rikaisha de

Kirihara sighed slightly angry for a reason even he could not understand, and followed the stream of people to gate 12.
