Hey guys! Sorry I haven't posted sooner. School decided to assign 3 huge projects. Anyway, I finished two of them, so I'm gonna start to post more frequently. Hope you enjoy!
blacksunset1214: Ahaha, yeah, I know. I just couldn't get it to sound completely right...
CAPJHMPAgirl: You will ;)
Chibi Anjiru: Thanks! Glad you are. Here it is!

Chapter 1: Konohana
Once I took a single step into Konohana, everyone in front of me turned and stared at me.
As soon as the villagers saw me, they stared at me, and the silence lingered in the air for what seemed like centuries.
And that's when the screams started.
"INA! THE NEW FARMER'S HERE!"
"IT'S A NEW PERSON! FINALLY!"
"MOMMYYYY! Who is that?"
Etc.
"HEY! YOU PEOPLE! SHUT UP!" the sharp yell of a lady in red and gold Indian clothes slashed through the air.
And the silence came back.
"Hello, my name is Ina, I'm the mayor of this town," said the lady in a surprisingly warm voice, "I heard you're the new farmer."
I smiled, "Yup! My name is Lillian; it's nice to meet you!"
Ina laughed, "I'll show you your farm, and then show you around town and introduce you to everyone, is that good plan?"
"Yeah."
*(~)*
"OK, so now you know your way around town and the farm?" Ina asked.
"Pretty much," I replied.
"Oh, and one more thing,"
"What is it?"
"On the other side of the mountain, there's a town called Bluebell. Our town and theirs don't get along so well. The relationship is getting better because of the recent engagement between their farmer and Nori, but some villagers from both Bluebell and Konohana still don't get along. Both I and Rutger, the mayor from Bluebell want everyone to get along, so can you help us?"
"Of course!" I smiled.
"Thank you so much! Well then, I guess I'll be seeing you around." Ina smiled warmly and walked away.
I walked into my new house, slammed the door shut, and plopped onto my bed.
I sighed massaging the sides of my mouth. It was really inconvenient, smiling so much. It hurt the sides of my mouth. Damn, I really wanted to be a kid again. At the time when everything was happy; those innocent days of laughing without a care in the world, before those yells of screaming and shouting late at night, before…the divorce.
The villagers here were nice; I could get along with them. Maybe, one day, I could show my real face to one of them. But for the time being, I just want to show them the me before everything that had happened.
That Phillip found himself a good fiancée. Nori was both kind and beautiful. She deserved him.
Now if only I could get rid of this stupid brother complex that I have.
I stood up and tore off my shirt; digging through the suitcase for my pajamas. The cold air cut at the newly cut skin on my wrists. I gulped. I swore to myself that I would stop. I have to.
Pulling on my pajamas, I jumped onto the bed.
I would visit Bluebell for the first time in 10 years tomorrow.
I'll be home again.
Finally.
Please review!
