Two weeks. It's been two weeks since Aunt Kat's death. I still can't believe it, she was the only person in this family that didn't royally piss me off. I didn't expect to be inheriting all the money she had either, I mean I know she was wealthy but, half a million dollars?! She was loaded! I just don't understand why we lived in an apartment if that was the case, but I won't complain. She was always more grounded than the rest.

Now I've got a problem though, I can't go back to live with anyone else in this family and I can't keep this place. Well, I mean financially I can, but I don't want to. It just doesn't feel the same without Aunt Kat.

Maybe I'll move to another country altogether, New Jersey is pretty boring. I have been wanting to travel for a while now too. Aunt Kat would've wanted me to do it, I think, at least. She was a big supporter in everything I did or wanted. I'll just buy the soonest tickets to wherever and go from there. I mean, it doesn't really matter at this point, does it?

Sitting down at my desk, I open my laptop and immediately search Google for cheap upcoming flights. I could have 5 billion dollars and I'd still spend cheap, I wanna make this money last, alright? The first result I find is a flight to Binan, Japan. I don't know much Japanese, just a few things from all that damn anime I watch, but it should be fun, right? The flight is a week from now so I have enough time to pack and get ready. I'll call my brother later and see if he can send the rest of the stuff when I get a place over there. I purchase the ticket and close my laptop to start packing things up.


~7 day timeskip of laziness~

Holy hell I can't believe it's been a week already. I can't believe I'm in an airport waiting to get on a plane. I can't believe I'm going to Japan, fucking Japan. It is a bit strange, of all places to move to, right? Especially at 17, it was only my last year before graduating but honestly I'm glad I dropped out. Too much unnecessary stress, and for what? A passing grade that means basically nothing? No thanks. Whatever, that's not important now. I should be worrying about how I'm going to find my new apartment and when to have Andrew send over the remain things.

An announcement comes on for flight-46 and that's my cue to board the plane. Once I'm on the plane I settle in my seat, putting headphones on and listening to some music. I've got a long 13+ hours ahead of me so I might as well sleep as much as I can.

~Boring, long ass flight to Japan~

As quickly as I can, I leave the plane with my carry-on strapped over my back. Escaping the long flight terminal, I try to find baggage claim, but I can't read anything here. 'Oh god I'm such a fucking idiot, I should've been more prepared.' I yell at myself in my head.

Remembering the phone in my pocket, I pull it out and open Google translate. Pressing the camera option[1], I scan over the various signs until finally I find baggage claim. Immediately I spot my lilac suitcases and rush over to grab them. Finally getting everything I need, I make my way out of the airport and prepare myself to get a taxi. Thank god I learned how to do that before I got here, hopefully I don't sound too dumb or offensive.


[1]Google is working on an element of Google translate where you can use your camera to translate signs and stuff! I thought that was pretty cool so I decided to include that in here!

Hello there~ !

I know this is pretty bad but I can't find Binan fic anywhere, so I decided to write my own.
Feel free to leave any kind of criticism in the comments, or just say whatever you like!~
