Return of the past Chapter 2: New School, New friends

~Moving day~

After making sure everything had been packed away into the moving truck or their car, they all piled into the car and drove off. That was hours ago and it was now sometime around noon. Usagi sighed, they were almost there, and she knew it. Usagi's father was driving, her mother was busy telling them about how she had a friend who lived in Kyoto (of course she wasn't paying attention), her brother Shingo was busy playing his new Zelda game for game-boy, and she was busy staring out the car window thinking about recent events.

#Flash Back#

It was time for bed and Usagi had just finished her shower, and was now in her room getting ready for bed. After changing into her pajamas she began packing up what was left of her things. She didn't even stop where there came a knock at the door.

"Come in," she said. The door opened to reveal her mother Ikuko. "Mother," she said, "is there something wrong?"

"Usagi, why would you think that there is something wrong?” she asked. “I only came up here to see if you were finished packing and to talk with you," Said Ikuko as she sat on the floor next to her daughter.

"Talk to me about what kaa-san?" asked Usagi.

"Usagi do you remember your Obaa-san?"

"Um a little, I mean I was 10 when she died, and I barely even remember her. I do remember that she had a pretty blue necklace that she always wore, and that she was a kind and gentle person," said Usagi as she paused in her packing.

"Yes, well before your Obaa-san died she told me to give this to you on your 18th birthday, but I'm giving it to you now only because of what is in store for you in your future and because I think you are old enough to have it," said Ikuko as she pulled out a deck of tarot cards that were wrapped in a silver clothe, and a blue pendent that was hanging on and silver chain.

"Obaa-san's necklace,” gasped Usagi. Ikuko smiled as she motioned for Usagi to turn around. She then unclasped the chain of the pendant and placed it around her neck before re-clasping it.

"Usagi this pendent is very special, it was once part of a great race that we have descended from, and it will come in handy sometime in the near future so never lose it ok,” Ikuko said in a serious tone.

"Ok," said Usagi, as she reached up to pass her fingers over the smooth surface of the pendant.

#End Flashback#

Usagi reached up and unconsciously grasped the pendent. 'Obaa-san I miss you so much,' she thought as she watched the scenery go by. Before she knew it they were pulling off the highway and on to a very busy street. About thirty minutes later they were pulling into the driveway of their new house. By now it was 14:15(2:15pm) and Usagi was very hungry. Getting out of the car she followed her father up to the front door of the house. As they entered the house their father said something along the lines of “Welcome to our new home.” Usagi wasn't really paying much attention though as she walked off to the left and up the stairs to the second floor. As she walked down the hallway she peeked into the empty bedrooms looking for the room that would be hers. She finally came to a stop at the doorway to the room at the end of the hallway. The room inside had a hardwood floor and pale pink wallpaper. Directly across from the door was a large window with a ledge to sit on.

“I found my room!” Usagi shouted down the hallway as she walked across the room to open the window. A few moments later Ikuko walked into the room placing Usagi's bag on the floor.

“You left this in the car,” she said as she looked around the room. “This is a nice room honey, why don't you come down and we can finish unloading the car.” Usagi smiled at her mother as she followed her out of the room and back down the hallway. Just as they reached the stairs, there came a shout from the front door.

“The moving van is here!”

“Well looks like the car will have to wait,” Ikuko said as she started to descend the stairs. “We better get out there before your father hurts himself.” Ikuko and Usagi went downstairs and out the front door to help with unloading the truck.

With that they spent the rest of their day moving the furniture and boxes in to the house, as well as unpacking as much as they could before bed. Tomorrow would be a new day filled with a new school and friends for both Usagi and Shingo, but only Usagi wasn't looking forward to it.

~Next Day~

Usagi got up bright and early, showered, dressed and actually had time to eat breakfast. Her mother almost had a heart attack, when she saw that her daughter was up early and not in bed snoring while her cats tried to wake her up. She dropped Usagi off at school wishing her a good day. Usagi went to the office to get her schedule and find out what class she would be in. Usagi sat patiently in the office; having just received her schedule she was waiting for the person who would be bringing her to class. As she read her schedule she felt someone stop in front of her.

"Excuse me but are you Tsukino, Usagi," asked a male voice. She looked up at the boy who asked her. He has chestnut brown shoulder length hair and chestnut brown eyes, and he was wearing the school uniform that the boys wore.

"Yes, I am,” She replied, “Are you the one who's supposed to bring me to my class?"

"Yep, my name is Amano nice to meet you," he said.

"Same here," she replied.

She got up and followed him out of the office and through some hallways until they came to a classroom. Stopping in front of the door, he told Usagi to wait there while he went in. After a few minutes he came back out, wished her luck then left to go to his class. Usagi walked in to the classroom and stood at the front waiting for the teacher to finish speaking.

"Class we have a new student so I hope you make her feel welcome here," turning to Usagi, "Could you please introduce yourself?"

"Ohayo Gozaimasu,” she greeted as she bowed to the class. “Watashi wa Tsukino, Usagi. Douzo yorushiku.”

"Thank you Tsukino-san,” said the teacher, “Now why don't you have a seat behind Kanzaki-san. Kanzaki-san, could you please raise your hand?" A girl a few seats from the back raised her hand. Usagi walked towards the girl and sat at the desk that was directly behind her. The girl sitting in front of her turned to face her as she sat.

"Hi, my names Hitomi, it's nice to meet you," said the girl. She had shoulder length honey brown hair and emerald green eyes that held much wisdom.

"Hi," said Usagi. She already like this girl and could tell that they were going to be great friends. Smiling, Hitomi turned around to face the front of the classroom. She liked this new girl already and she really didn't know her yet. Just like usage she thought they would be great friends, but only time would tell.
