Chapter III: Awakened Memories

----------------

After school ended, she was invited by Ikki to go with him at his place with the others from Kogorasumaru and meet the Noyamano sisters. She accepted, and went there with them. She had a great time, but before she could realize, it was already nearly 12 a.m. and she wasn't home yet. She explained to them she had to leave and said good bye. She got a taxi and was driven home. When the taxi stopped in front of her house, she took her wallet and payed the driver. She stepped out of the car and closed the door. She walked to the house door and opened it slowly, walking inside. She saw Nue sitting on the couch, staring at the ground, holding a phone in his hands. She closed the door behind her and locked it and walked towards him.
"Hey, cousin..What's..Wrong?", asked her in a silent voice, slightly scared.
He raised his head and looked at her. He frowned widely and stood up.
"Where were you?!", yelled him. "I was worried sick!"
She closed her eyes from the very high volume of his voice and answered.
"I was with some classmates."
"At this time of night?!", shouted him out loud, still frowning.
"Come on. I am here and I am fine, nothing bad happened."
"I almost called the police to start searching for you! You fucking dumbhead!", he closed his eyes and held his head tightly. "Ugh! Why can't you use that stupid head of yours for once?!"
Her eyes went wide wide staring at him. That wasn't her cousin, that wasn't the Nue she knew. His behavior, his words and the high tone in his voice were strange to her. Never had he yelled at her before.
"What's with you..? Cousin, you were never like this."
"Just go to your room and don't come out!"
She blinked. "W-Wait, are you grounding me or something?"
"You bet I am..", said him, lowering his voice.
"You can't! You have no rights, you are not my father!"
"I can so all I want! They let me take care of you and told me I could do whatever it needs if you misbehave! Now go!"
She tried to hold back her tears and walked away fastly while banging her feet on the floor, making noise. She got in her room and slammed the door loudly, then fell on the bed, staring at the ceiling light. She crossed her arms, frowning while tears fell down on the bed sheets.
"Who the fuck does that pussy think he is..?", muttered her, as she turned on her left side. "Mother fucker.."
She sat up and stared blankly for a few seconds then stood up, whiping her eyes. She went to a drawer to get her pijama. When she picked them up, she noticed a paper was under them. She put the pijamas down on the bed and picked the piece of paper up. She didn't know it was there, Nue was the one who put her things in place while she was away. It looked like a birth certificate. She looked at the name as it was written in blue ink "Nova Kumori".
"Nova..?", asked herself, while raising an eyebrow. "What kind of name is that?"
She looked at the date of birth and got shocked when she saw it was the same day, month and year she was born in. She dragged her voice slightly.
"Okay..This must be a coincidence. A weird one, but a coincidence.", but when she saw that the birth place was also the same, she started freaking out. She tried to stay calm and muttered "Creepy..".
She didn't know what to do. It was too important to keep it to herself, but in the same time, she couldn't show it to Nue, since he was mad at her. He could've ignored her or even rip the paper apart for all she knew. She walked around the room, holding her forehead with one hand and the paper in the other, thinking. She finally came to a solution and sneaked out of her room, on the hall. She walked slowly and when she saw Nue was still in the living room, she rushed in his bedroom and left the door opened just a crack. She started opening his closet, drawers, she searched on his desk, under his bed, behind his lamp, but couldn't find anything. She wasn't actually sure what she was searching for either. Losing hope, she looked under his bed once again, but tthis time caught a glimpse of something. She reached her arm under the bed after what she saw and pulled something that looked like a rollerblade out. It looked amazing. It has not four, but two wheels. It was black and a deep, vribant shade of blue and had some sharp edges. She turned them on every side possible and noticed a small spot covered in tape. She removed the tape and her eyes widened and then frowned when she saw a small writing in a very elegant font, saying 'NoVa'.
"Who the fuck is Nova?!", shouted her out loud. She quickly covered her mouth with both her hands when she realized what she did and dropped the rollerblade on the floor. She rushed to the door while trying to sort her thoughts and get away from there as fast as possible, before Nue would arrive. She thought that if Nue kept those things, maybe, just maybe, Nova was his girlfriend and he still cared about her, but him keeping her birth certificate made no sense. She bumped into him before she could walk out of the room.
"What are you doing?", asked him, obviously demanding for an answer, but she was too shocked and scared to even let words out. He looked behind her and saw the rollerblade on the floor and the whole room a mess. he sighed and then looked back at her.
"What were you looking for..?"
She gulped and then frowned, taking a straight posture.
"I am the one who deserves answers! Just who is this Nova?!"
He sighed once again and then closed his eyes, placing his hands on her shoulders. He opened his eyes and stared at her.
"Welcome back in the family, Nova.."
She tried to push his hands off, but he resisted. "You have got to remember.". He held her shoulders tightly and leaned closer. She looked at his eyes. Suddenly, images started to roll in her head almost like a blurry movie. Childhood memories she never knew nor remembered. She started seing her in her first ages of life, a time when her father used to play with her. He used to tell her she was his little sunshine, his little Nova. He used to tell her he loved her and spent all his time with her. When the flashbacks stopped, she lowered her head, while her bangs were covering her eyes.

"Nova..", muttered her. "I am..Nova.."

Chapter II: Meeting the clumsy Kogorasumaru

--------------------
As soon as the bell ran, she ran outside. She heard from the other students that the roof was free to go on and stay there, which was exactly what she needed. It seemed like the perfect spot for lunch with no one to bother you. She climbed some stairs and got to a door. She pulled her hand on the knob and opened the door. She stepped on the roof and closed the door behind her. The view was amazing. She walked closer to the fence and placed her fingers on it, staring in the distance. She could see everything from there. The mountains in the distance, cars and houses, but mostly the big blue sky, which seemed endless. She backed away from the fence and sat down by it and unpacked her lunchbox. She unwrapped the sandwich and took a bite from it. She raised her head, staring at the clouds while chewing. She quickly fixed her sight on the door when she heard it open.
"Company. Great..Just what I needed..", thought her with sarcasm.
She grabbed her lunchbox and stood up. She quickly walked off and hid behind the door wall. She peaked her head out, looking at the group that just came.
"I'm telling you, I felt something. She isn't like the others, something is wrong with her.", said a guy that was standing with his back at her, but he did seem to be the same guy she was sitting next to.
"You're being pathetic.", replied another guy. "What could you feel unless..it was.. looove at first sight.", said him, with a big grin on his face.
"S-Shut up!", replied quickly the blonde haired guy with a slight tint of red blush on his face.
Yuki tried stepping closer so she would be able to hear better. She stepped on her own foot and bit her lip in pain and fell on the floor.
"Shit!", shouted her while she pulled her leg closer and poked her foot lightly.
"What was that?"
Yuki was still frowning and grinning her teeth in pain and anger but when she raised her sight, she saw the blonde guy looking at her directly.
"Are you alright?", asked him.
"Yes.", replied her with a sigh. "I am fine."
"Important is, what are you doing here?", asked the guy with spikey hair while he walked to her, holding his hands in his pockets. He held his hands out of his pockets and placed them on his hips, while bending to her, staring at her.
The blonde guy reached his hand out at her. She took a hold of it and stood up and stretched slightly.
"Hey, isn't she the new girl?", asked the guy with spiked hair.
"Woah!", exclaimed someone. Yuki turned her head and faced a short guy with big lips, who was standing upside down with his head on a rollerblade, staring at her. "She is the new chick? Man, she is hot..", said him, with a slight drool on the corner of his mouth.
"Shut. Up..", said her in anger, holding her hand in a fist. "This chick has a name and it's 'Yuki', you stupid morons..."
"But why are you calling us morons..?", said a silent voice. "You don't even know us good enough..", said the same voice in a low, innocent tone.
Yuki looked at a short guy with blue hair who had one eye covered by a patch.
"W-Well..", started her, while blushing "I..I.. Ugh! Nevermind..", finished her and crossed her arms, closing her eyes. "This guy's voice is so cute..", thought her.
"Well, since you told us your name, it's only fair for us to introduce us as well.", said the blonde guy and everyone nodded in agreement.
"I am Onigiri!", exclaimed one of the guys. Yuki looked at him and her eye twitched when she realized that he was the same person who said she was the 'new hot chick'. After a few seconds of looking at him and the big grin on his face, she realized that he was staring under her skirt.
"Fucking pervert!", shouted her in anger, pulling her skirt down lightly, trying to cover herself. Everyone else just laughed as she blushed in emberassment and anger. When she lifted her head up slightly when she noticed that something was blocking the sunlight. Her eyes went wide when she saw a really big, tall, fat boy.
"My name is Issa Mihotoke..", started him, in a very deep, somehow dangerous tone. "But I'm mostly known as Fat Buccha.", finished him with a smile and pulled his hand in a bag of chips.
"Y-Yeah..I can see why..", replied her.
"My name is Akito Wanijima...", said the blue haired boy while covering his mouth with his sleeve.
"I am Kazuma Mikura, but everyone you can call me Kazu, cutie.", smiled the blonde haired guy and winked at Yuki as he held his hand out. She took it and shook it gently, while blushing. She could feel he was different from the others.
"And I am Itsuki Minami, also known as Ikki, and I am the proud leader of Kogorasumaru!", exclaimed the guy with spiked hair while taking a proud pose, holding his left hand on his hip and his right hand in a fist.
Yuki blinked twice in confusion and then dragged her voice. "Kogo-..what? I think I ate something like that last night..", pouted her while she held her chin, obviously trying to figure out what was the name of her last meal. Not like it would've helped with anything. Ikki's face just went blank as the others started laughing.
"KOGORASUMARU!", shouted him. "And you better remember it!", exclaimed him in a threathening tone while pointing his index finger at her.
She looked at him and then closed her eyes, waving her hand. "Yeah, yeah, as you say, Spikey Hair."

                      *****************

They were sitting on the floor in a circle, each one of them enjoying their meals. After a few minutes of silence, kazu raised his head and looked towards Yuki, who was sitting two persons away from him on his right.
"So, do you ride ATs?"
She blinked and gulped down the piece of sandwich she was chewing on.
"ATs?", asked her while looking at him.
"Don't you know what ATs are?", Ikki looked at her in surprise.
"I do. I read some article on the internet but it looked more like it was taken out of a commercial, so I wasn't really able to fully understand what they are, but I have a slight idea. They are.. High tech rollerblades, right?"
Ikki raised his leg and placed his arm on it and nodded.
"Personally...", started her. "I think it's a load of bullshit."
Everyone looked at her in shock, except Ikki, who was looking at her with his expression unchanged.
"Why do you think so?"
"Well, I think they are for spoiled little kids whose parents don't know what to do with their money anymore. Normal rollerblades can do a lot and you are much, much cheaper."
Ikki sighed. "You don't appreciate the sky, do you?"
Yuki blinked in confusion and then frowned slightly, kind of bothered by his reply. "Of course I do! There is nothing more that I love than the sky. I've always wished to be able to fly and touch the Heavens themselves!"
"Then try ATs..", replied Ikki in a calm tone. "That's why we prefer them over rollerblades. We are concious that rollerblades can do amazing things as well as ATs, but they are not able to bring you to the sky. It's not the same feeling."
"Unfortunately, there are some who use them, but don't know that feeling, since they use them for fighting...", sighed Kazu.
"Fighting?, blinked Yuki as she turned her head to Kazu. "I understood that they are capable of more than rollerblades, but you still skate with them, skating is supposed to be fun, not used for fighting.", said her, intrigued.
"Damn...You sound like Ringo.", Ikki closed his eyes and arched his head on his back, feeling the wind.
Before she could ask who Ringo was, the bell rang. They all stood up and went to their class. When she arrived in class, she walked to her seat and sat down. She placed her cheek on her hand and turned her head, staring through the window. It was a normal day at school, but she was somehow happy that she managed to make a few new friends, the clumsy Kogorasumaru.

Chapter I: New Kid In School

---------------

“You’re moving with your cousin.” Said a voice in the telephone

“B-But..I can’t!” exclaimed another voice “I do not want to!”

A sigh was heard and the first voice continued “You have to. Me and your mother are very busy these days and we can’t stay with you, so you will be living with your cousin. It’s temporary.”

“I don’t want to move…” replyed the other voice in a sad tone

“I know, dear, but moving to Japan means a new begining. You will probably grow to like it and make new friends too. I already bought the airplane ticket.”

“Without telling me?!” shouted the voice loudly, angrily.

“Calm down. It will be alright… Everything is set. You are already enrolled at a school, you have a place to live. You just need to integrate.”

“Integrating is not my thing.”

“Be a bit more sociable. It won’t kill you. The plane leaves tomorrow at 9 a.m., do not be late, and I mean it.”

“I will try…”

“Not try, but do it. Take care, I love you.”

After the last words, the call ended. A girl was looking at her phone screen and frowned. She threw the phone away and sat on the bed, holding her head then covered her face. She sighed and held her hands together. Looking at the ceiling, thoughts ran through her mind. She took a grab of her pillow and stood up suddenly, throwing the pillow at the floor, frowning.

“I love you?” asked her rhetorically “If you loved me, you wouldn’t send me to the other corner of the world!”

She sighed and took a luggage from under the bed, placed it on it and opened it. She walked to the closet and opened it, taking clothes out, folding them and placing them in the luggage. After finally finishing packing, she zipped the luggage and took it off of the bed and put it in the corner of the room, prepared for the morning to come. She sat on a chair and slid with it to the computer desk. She turned it on and connected to the internet, opened the browser and logged in on her blog account. Having no ideas of what to write that day, she decided to wonder around on the internet and read the popular articles.

“Ghost caught on camera.. Will they divorce?.. Woman commits suicide..” she sighed while scrolling the page “Man, this world is going insane.. If no one kills themselves or some star doesn’t cheat or divorce, it’s not interesting…” leting another sigh out, she closed her eyes and, in a spasm, her finger clicked on a random link. She blinked and looked at the new opened web page. The tittle was written in capitals and in an Impact font, “Air Treks”.

“Air Treks..?” she scrolled down and started reading “Through the science of microtechnology, a miniaturized motor, no bigger than a tiny gear, with the power of a four-wheeled vehicle was developed.” She raised an eyebrow and continued reading, holding her chin “It’s become especially popular among extreme sports fans, who use it to modify their rollerblades. These daredevils push themselves to go even faster, to fly even higher. With these high tech devices , they enter a world of their own, racing down the streets, writing their own rules. For Air Trek riders, there are no boundries. The world is their road and the sky is the limit, climbing higher and higher, to the Heavens themselves.”

She looked at the screen and then rubbed her eyes, closing the web page, shutting the computer down.

“This is bullshit. People who do this are crazy.. Why would you risk falling from hundreds of feet high and getting injured, just for a few moments of fun and adrenaline?”

She stood up and fell on the bed with arms spred. She stared at her ceiling sleepy.

“People nowadays are just insane..” she turned around facing the wall and yawned “Isane..” she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

The alarm turned on and she turned it off. She stood up and stretched yawning. After getting prepared, she arrived at the airport and got on the plane that left to Japan. After a long and tiring journey, she finally arrived at the destination, Haneda Airport.

People were rushing, going to or coming from planes, constantly checking the time. Just another busy day on the Haneda Airport.

“What do you mean you lost my bags?!” shouted a voice angrily

“We are sorry, miss.. It’s just a really bad and embarassing mistake, we will try to searc for them and send them to your address as soon as possible.”

She sighed and looked off “Useless sacks of trash..” She backed away from the counter and turned around when heard a whistle and spotted a guy with blue spikey hair and blue eyes. He was wearing a black coat and he was heading to her. She turned to him and rested her back against the counter.

“Hey, cousin.” Greeted him

“Yeah, hey..”

He tilts his head and looked at her from top to bottom. Looking back at her, he smirked.

“They..Lost your bags..”

“For the fifth time!” shouted her frowning “Every time I come here I loose something!”

He closed his eyes and laughed “And I guess they will fix the problem, like they always do..”

She glared at him and crossed her arms. He wrapped his arms around her and held her close, pulling his chin on her shoulder.

“Don’t worry.. Let’s just head home, tomorrow it’s your first day of school afterall..”

She glanced at him with the corner of her eye.

“Come again?”

He looked at her and repeated “Tomorrow it’s your first day of school.”

“Dad said nothing about it…”

“Be positive, you might make friends.”

“Stop blabbing with it about making friends!”

He covered her mouth with his hand and took her hand, walking off. After they finally arrived at his home, she followed him to her new room. He walked out and left her alone to explore every inch of it. She took small steps turning her head from side to side. The room was painted in a pale shade of blue, it had an indigo rug with white circles, a king-sized bed made out of black wood in retro style, book shelves were above it and many small framed pictures covered the walls. It had a big wardrobe made out of wood that reached the ceiling. A coffee table was near a corner with two pillows placed near it. Near the bed was a black bedside with a lamp on it and a few CD cases along with the remote. A flat-screen TV covered a part of the wall facing the bed and a big glass door separated the room from the balcony, coverd by blue curtains. She pulled the curtains so it would cover the windows entirely. She changed from her clothes to a long shirt of Nue’s and shorts. She pulled the cover of the bed away and got in, closing her eyes. She turned to the wall and fell asleep.

The following morning, Nue got in her room and shook her shoulder. She opened her eyes and looked back at him, sleepy. He backed away and walked out. She rubbed her eyes and stood up. She went to the bathroom and started getting ready. Luckily, after she lost her bags a few times when coming to visit Nue, she left there a few clothes she bought before leaving. She walked downstairs and took an over-the-shoulder bag. Nue passed her a sandwich and a bottle of water. She put them in the bag and rushed out. While walking, a few riders went by her fastly. She blinked and looked at their backs as they started fading away through the crowd. She sighed and finally arrived at the school. She stopped by a door and simply couldn’t manage to not notice the loud voices coming from inside the room. She pulled the handle and walked in. The class suddenly went silent and stared at her awkwardly. She looked at them in confusion. A woman walked to her slowly and finally managed to speak.

“A-are you the new student?”

“Yes.”

The woman nodded “My name is Mari Tomita..” she turned to the class and kept the low-toned voice “C-class..P-please welcome our new classmate. Tell t-them something about you.”

She sighed and pulled one of her side bangs behind her ear and looked at the people in the class.

“Well, my name is Yuki Ookami. I am Japanese by origin but my parents moved to Brazil shortly after I was born, but now I came back.”

The teacher pointed at a seat and she went to it. She sat down and stared at the ceiling while the class started to talk again. She felt a pat on her shoulder and she turned on the right to face a guy. He had short blonde hair and dazzling blue eyes. Besides his school uniform, he wore fingerless gloves and a white cap. He put his cheek on his hand and smiled.

“Yo”

She stared at him for a few seconds and then replied

“Hey”

“So, you moved from Brazil?” asked him and she nodded “Which town exactly?”

She shifted her eyes away and answered “Rio de Janeiro”

He blinked and let out a long whistle “Nice.. Are you rich by any chance?”

“Yes, why do you ask?” blinked her in confusion.

“Well..” started him “Rio de Janeiro.. It’s not a cheap town.”

She nodded again and looked off then laid her back against the chair. “I don’t really care.” She looked at him “Does this class even study? They are pretty loud.”

He smiled casually “Nope.”

She looked at him ironically and then smiled too, somehow stupidly right before the bell rang.
