On our walk home I asked Keesa what would it take for them to adopt me quickly. She said she would have to talk to Chika and the judge there in Tokyo and she would get back to me. I nodded and walked with her home.
Once there she went to talk to Minori, goodness know they had a lot to talk about.
I sat in my room not really doing much of anything except talking to Kuma Tater-Tot. I told him all my fears and what has happened in the days since I got him, I even started writing in my journal. Things are still a little confusing but they are getting better.
Before long I was being called down to dinner. Once there we all sat and at quietly. I could tell Minori and Keesa will still pissed with each other so I guess they didn't talk about me.
"Minori...I told Keesa on the way home I wanted to be adopted by you both...but you both have got to get over yourselves...maybe I'm not the one who needs to go see a therapist...if you both cannot talk this out, I will leave" I told her.
They both stared at me as if I were crazy.
"You can't be serious" Minori told me.
"Quite, I'm not as dumb as you seem to think I am Minori...I know when people are having issues and I can arrange it with Eri to go live with her until you two have kissed and made up, what really irks me is you think I'm stupid enough not to see what is really going on, I for one am offended with your attitudes towards me" I told them getting down from the table and going to what was supposed to be my room.
I gathered up my clothes and Kuma and shoved them into my duffel bag before heading out the front door.
Keesa started to come after me.
"Let her go, if she thinks she's getting that far she is out of her mind" Minori told her.
I headed towards Eri's house. Once I got there I saw her out in the yard. "Grams!" I called out to her.
She looked and looked towards me and smiled. "My child, why are you not wtih Keesa and Minori? You are not safe here" she told me her voice full of concern.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"Go home my dear child and I will explain all when the time is right" she said.
I sighed and went towards Shigure's. I was walking and didn't pay attention to what was going on around me and ran smack into someone.
"You little bitch! Watch where you're going!" the familiar voice said.
I looked up to see my mother standing over me.
"Hanako" I said.
"Where did you hear that name?! That's NOT my name!" she said.
"Grams said it was, why didn't you tell me I was half Japanese? Why didn't you tell me about your name being Hanako? I wouldn't have told anyone...I can keep secrets..it hurts me to know you didn't trust me, YOU'RE own daughter. You could've told me things instead of beating me! I hope you give your fucking parental rights away so two wonderful people can adopt me!" I told her.
I finally let her have a piece of my mind. And because I did so, I ended up in the hospital again.
When I woke up I heard Keesa and Minori talking but I couldn't hear what they were saying. They came in my room with forced smiles.
"Jade...Eri and her husband are in the hospital to...the doctors don't know if they'll make it, they took a good beating from your parents" Keesa told me. "And as of right now they aren't giving up their parental rights to you"
I stared at them. For the time being I couldn't hear anything coming out of their mouths. It's like my ears turned off. The next thing I know I went rigid and started shaking, like a seizure shaking. I heard both of them scream for help after that nothing, everything was black.
