It really was a strange feeling. Whenever I went outside of my house, for whatever reason it was, I looked for her. Waiting for Satoko to randomly appear, a smile on her face and a welcoming adventure.
Over the course of a year, Satoko had appeared by jumping out from behind a bush, hung backwards from a tree, grabbed my ankle from a sinkhole and dragged me into a tunnel, ran into me several times, and a very strange incident involving a leaf and a river. It was never a dull moment around her, and even though there was a part of me that was annoyed by her antics, there was a much stronger part that enjoy every second of it.
With Satoko now at twelve, she became more and more adventurous. More outgoing. (On top of it all, her body was developing in ways that almost hurt to ignore.) Her personality was contagious; the more time we spent together, the more I felt like we were connecting, despite our eight year age difference. She and I had become best friends, there wasn't a part of me that would change that.
The closer Satoko and I became, the less I wanted to take my father position at top of whatever it is that he was doing. I ignored his orders, disobeyed what he wanted, delayed his plans.
There was nothing to prepare me for what he was going to do in another year.
I hope you enjoyed. Reviews would be nice!
Until next time, nakamatachi.
