New Life

Returning Part 1

I do not own any characters only the new story line.

(Lin POV)

(present)

As I sit in seat 12B next to the window I look down at Japan and cant help but to recall the last time I was here. Six and a half years we have been gone from Japan. Yet I know that she is not here in Japan and that she has not been here for many years. As I sit here suddenly I hear Madoka ask Noll if he has contacted to the rest of the group to tell them that they would be landing soon, I turn my head to look at them as I wait for Noll responded and he does so by saying that it was already taken care of. I turn away as I roll my eyes in annoyance at his response knowing that he did not try to find her when he first called the group. Yet he knew that Noll was not worried about her because of what had happened the last time he was here in Japan.

(Past)

I remember all those years ago and how she looked when she saw us leaving I still cant forget the way the tears roll down her face as she watched us walk away from her. It was then that I decided to keep in contact with her in order to make sure that she was doing fine without us being around and that she would be able to find a new job. Once on the plane I pulled out my lap top and wrote a email to Mai telling that I would be keeping contact with her once I was back in England I also wrote one to my parents letting them know that I was returning to England and sent them both right before take off. I had then put my lap top away and prepared for take off when a flight attendant passed by my seat and I stopped her and asked her if she could get me some water and a cheese and crackers plate.

That was the last meal I remember eating before I fell asleep and woke up as the plane was landing in England. Then the months started to pass by fast, during that time my relationship with Madoka deteriorated and we broke the relationship off. During these months I had kept in contact with Mai through email I could not put my worry aside due to the fact that she kept telling me that something was wrong, that her dreams were coming to her every night, that was when I gave her my cell phone number so she could call me if they progressed to a dangerous level. When I received the next email Mai revealed that she graduated early and that she did not knows what to do next. When hearing this I was surprised then i looked at the time and saw that her school was still open and of my own curiosity I called them and asked if she had graduated, they told me that she had graduated early and that she would be graduating this next week, I asked if I would be able to attend the ceremony and they told me that I could. Once I hung up with them I pulled up the internet and booked a flight to Japan, once that was accomplished I emailed Noll's parents and told them that I needed to have next week off. I then received a response from Noll's parents saying that I could have the time off, I had then got up and went to Noll's office next door and knocked once he responded that I could come in I popped my head in and told him that I would not be here next week and that his parents said that it was okay. All he did was stare at me as if contemplating what to say then he nodded his head as if to say fine. I had quickly retreated to my office and started to prepare for my departure. I remember smiling as I thought of supersizing Mai at her graduation.

As I sat there on the plan waiting for it to land in Japan I cant keep the smile off my face. Mai had told me that she had managed to get a new job at a tea shop closer to her house and her school. As I sat in my seat I hear the flight attendant say to buckle up that we will be landing shortly within minuets we are on the ground and getting of the plane. I look at my watch and see that it is four in the morning. As I exited the terminal I started to head towards the the exit as I look for the car rental station only noticing it next to the exit I quickly go over to it and give the woman named Kiyomi and told her my name and gave her my credit card, she pulled up and showed me what car I had ordered and handed me my card and a set of keys and she told me where to find the car. I grab everything from her and head in the direction of the car once there I unlocked the car and placed my luggage in the back seat and closed the door and opened the drivers door and got in. I then started the car and looked at my watch to see that I had three hours till Mai's graduation. I quickly headed to the apartment that I rented as I drove there I realized the apartment is close to where Mai lives. Once there I went inside and put my bag in the room and took a shower and got ready for her graduation. When I was fully ready I saw that I had forty-five minutes to get to her school so I grabbed the keys and got into the car, and then I quickly went by a flower shop and bought a bouquet of pink roses paired with white alstroemeria and started to head to the school. Once there I parked my car in the visitor parking area and saw that there was a man directing people towards an auditorium. Once in side I had noticed that there was an open seat right behind the last row of students. I briskly walked over and claimed the seat and waited for the ceremony to begin.
