- Ending Story

March 24, 2017

"Seriously, Ellie. Two large traveling bags?" I opened the front door after my best friend frantically rang the door bell. My goodness! I thought she's just joking when she called me yesterday that she'll bring two large bags with her. But when I looked at her Mom's car, I saw the first bag at the back seat. Bet the other one's at the trunk.

Today's our flight and her Mom will accompany us to the airport. We're very lucky to have half-day class because our flight is five o'clock.

"What's wrong with that? Besides, they're not that heavy. And oh, I brought some delicacies for our boys. Tomoya requested them. Let's go!" It's already one o'clock and thank heavens the airport is just half an hour away.

"Let me help you with your baggage, dear." Ellie's Mom lifted my medium size traveling bag while I carry my knapsack with me. Ellie chose to seat at the back so I occupied the shot-gun seat.

Tomorrow is ONE OK ROCK Ambitions Japan Tour with Fall Out Boy as their front act. I'm kinda nervous but excited at the same time maybe because it's my first tour in Japan.

While on our way, Ellie decided to play some Fall Out Boy songs.

Drop a heart, break a name
We're always sleeping in, sleeping for the wrong time

The three of us sang along to Sugar, We're Goin Down. It's not that surprising if Ellie's Mom knew the song, too.

We're going down, down in an earlier round
And sugar, we're going down swinging
I'll let your number one with a bullet
A loaded god complex, cock it and pull it

"By the way, Winter. Rhythm called me earlier. They're on their way too, maybe they will arrive ahead of us." Ellie's right. One of the members of Exi(s)t lived fifteen minutes away from the airport although we all have the same flight schedule. Aston, their bassist is very fortunate to have friends living in Japan who helped him with the concert tickets. To sum it all, Exi(s)t will go to the concert with us.

When we arrived, Rock's bandmates helped us with our baggage. After some reminders, we all hugged and kissed Ellie's Mom goodbye.

Japan, here we come!

**\m/**

Wow.

Okay, I've seen some beautiful sceneries of Japan on internet or even in magazines, but tonight, I pinched my right cheek just to make sure that I'm already in the Land Of The Rising Sun.

"Want me to pinch your left cheek, Winter?" Ellie teased but I'm faster than her so I pinched her left cheek.

We're here at the airport waiting for Aston's friends to pick us up to the nearest hotel. A little Japanese girl with her mother passed by and waved at me, smiling. I smiled and waved back. She reminded me of Ryota's niece.

While waiting, I grabbed my phone to take some photos of random people at the airport. An old couple with their grandchildren, teenagers with their friends, teenage couple, husband and wife, young boy playing PSP, and so on.

"Want to eat first while we wait for my friends?" Aston approached me while I checked the photos on my mobile.

"Thanks but I'm still full. I just need to go to the rest room. Call of nature." I looked left and right for restroom. Found it on the far right.

"Oh, okay. Should I call Rhythm or Ellie to accompany you?"

"Don't worry, I can manage. Just tell Ellie to look for my baggage."

Aston nodded and went back to his bandmates. Meanwhile, I saw Ellie talking on the phone. Bet she's talking to her Mom or Toru, as usual.

I walked faster to the restroom just in case Aston's friends will arrive any moment. I almost ran inside the restroom and wow, it's immaculately clean.

I quicky fixed myself because my hair is such a mess, actually. When I'm satisfied on my look, I quickly went outside only to be stopped by two teenage girls. Uh-oh.

"Excuse me, are you Winter? Winter Dellaira?" The girl with the long, jet black hair asked. She looked like a walking Japanese doll.

"The one making covers on Youtube? WinterSonataOneTwoOne?" The other girl with short hair wearing ONE OK ROCK shirt beamed at me.

I gave them an uncertain smile. I have no idea that Japanese people will recognize me. "Yeah, that's me."

"Can we take some photos, please?" Before I could say yes, the two of them were already side by side with me. The girl with the long, jet black hair grabbed her phone to take a shot.

We took five photos: 2 group photos, 2 duo photos and 1 group wacky photo. They also asked me to sign their notebooks. They're Hikaru and Umi by the way, and their names reminded me of Magic Knight Rayearth anime.

My phone rang and the two of them bid goodbye to me. Ellie's calling me via Messenger because Aston's friends arrived already. I checked myself one last time at the mirror before going out. I was about to run to where my friends' are standing when somebody called me or rather whisper it that made my ear tickle.

"Yuki Hime."

I quickly turned around but nobody's  there. Okay, my mind's playing tricks on me.

"Boo!"

I bumped at the guy on my front. He's wearing a black cap, shades and a face mask. But what made me gaped is that this guy is familiar.

"Oops, sorry!" That's  my initial reaction although I know that it's him.

"I'm okay, Yuki Hime. Welcome to Japan." He put his face mask on his chin. He moved closer to me, I thought he was going to kiss my cheek in front of the people but his lips landed on my ear. It tickles. "See you tomorrow. I just need to return something to you."

"H-huh? What?"

He grinned then he opened his back pack. My jaw dropped because it's my missing journal he's returning to me.

"Sorry if I read it but don't worry, your secret is safe with me. I need to go. Don't forget to check the last page."

Like a ninja he walked among the crowd until he is nowhere in sight.

I jumped as my phone rang again courtesy of Ellie. I starred at the journal before flipping it at the last part.

My composition is completed. Taka wrote the missing parts.
