So today's the day.

I'm returning to my old home Midorijima. It's been a while since I've seen him.

Eer... I mean since I've seen the beautiful women of the island.

"Koujaku-san~!" Two very adorable women approach me in an excited state. "Is it true you're going back to Midorijima~?" they both pout and twirl their fingers expecting an answer.

I play it off cool by smiling and answering politely. "I'm so sorry to have to leave you two beautiful women behind but my destiny calls to my old home." Their bottom lips puff out even more then one says "Okay Koujaku-san but, you have to PROMISE! that you're going to come back and vist. If you do come by where I work and we can play❤️." I take her by the hand and promise. the girls walk away while waving. I take my seat on the plane about 20 minutes later we're in the air. The ride was long and boring except at the times the flight attendants came by. The flight lasted a good hour before landing at the Midorijima Airport. I casually leave the airport and make my way to the house. That was left. In my. Name. I clasp my mouth and think about 'him'. Ah- his smiling face, it always keeps me going. I wonder how he looks now or if he remembers me I ho- what am I thinking?

And about a guy too!

Let's just concentrate on getting home! What does it look like anyway? Since my mother and I left Midorijima in a hurry we didn't pack up our furniture. It's been such a long time I can't remember how it looks too good. As I walk to the house I go past the old park we used to play at. "Ah- those were great days." I stand and stare at the park and allow fond memories to float through my head, as I do so my allmate Beni flies out of my pant pocket to rest on my shoulder and to complain in my ear. "-jaku, Kou- KOUJAKU!" He screeches to snap me out of my conscious coma. I shake my head left and right then proceed to the house. As I slow my pace until I reach a house which has been somewhat faded in my memory. "Here it is Beni." I exhale a small sentence. "This is where my life began, this is when it was a happy life, I hope I'll remember something pleasant in there." I say while casually unlocking the door and stepping into my "new old house" I sit at the entryway to take my shoes off. When I'm barefooted I enter my new/old dwelling, the floorboards creaked under my foot as I took in the smell of old wood. I look over to Beni and utter a sentence "well this is it Beni, you can check out the rest of the house if you feel like it." I swiftly make my way to the door. "Oi!" I hear Beni call out to me. "Where're you going?" He asks me. I look back at him from behind the wall and reply "my coil's been acting funky lately I've got to go get a part for it." I put my shoes on and make my way out the door and on my way to a parts shop.
