SiSi: This story is by meeeeeeeeeeeeee!! It’s the first story I’ve done by myself.

Hi. My name is Kami. Hokori Kami. I’m 12 years old. I have majorly overprotective

parents. They’re nice ‘n all but…

Kami looked up from her journal, tapping her chin with a pencil. Se wasn’t a normal 12

year old- it was impossible, with hair so black it absorbed light instead of reflecting it and

unnaturally pale skin. Plus, she was goth- a hyper goth but still. Actually, she claimed she hated goths and people were so afraid of her they didn’t say anything. Kami sighed and got up. Grabbing her black ipod from its stand, she returned to scribbling in her journal, this time with Within Temptation blasting in her ears. She loved music like Within Temptation and Enya. The soft rhythms and haunting melodies inspired her artwork, which was mostly manga. Someone knocked on the door. Kami, startled, ripped the earbuds out of her ears and hid the journal, revealing the math homework underneath. Her mom entered the room. Everyone in Kami’s family had weird hair or eye colors. Her mom had hair like molten silver and pitch black eyes.

“Sweetie, could you come downstairs for a minute?” Kami knew it was another family meeting. Her mom never spoke like that otherwise.

“Sure mom.” She closed her workbook and followed her mom downstairs. Her dad was there along with… her two best friends?? She was seriously creeped out. No ‘outsiders’ were allowed in family meetings.

“Sit down Kami.” Her dad looked tired. His black hair was ruffled and his golden eyes looked worried. Her best friends looked happy and carefree though.

“We’re all going on a camping trip!” burst out Kizuna Yuuki. Her brown eyes sparkled with delight and her hair (currently blue) was already bursting out of it’s perky pigtails.

“THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A SURPRISE!! BAKA!!” Reimei Kiri yelled at Yuuki. She had straight brown hair and bright green eyes. She was as loud and annoying as Yuuki (most people hated the two) but Kami didn’t care. They were great friends.

“So dad where are we going?” Kami’s dad looked uncomfortable.

“We’re going to visit you’re uncle.” Kami was excited. She had never met any of her extended family.

“Who is he? What’s his name?”

“Remember that tv show Naruto?”

“HELL YA!! It’s my favorite anime.”

“Remember that character Orochimaru?”

“That gay freak? Yeah, but what does that have to do with my uncle?”

“He is your uncle.”

/30 minutes later/

"My uncle is a gay perv. My uncle is a gay perv. My uncle-"

"SHUT UP ALREADY!!" Kiri yelled. "Although I still can't believe he's your dad's twin..."

"So did your dad say how we're gonna get to the hideout?"

"No... but addressing a similar matter, the reason your parents allowed you guys to go was because my dad told them

we're going camping."

"Cool! Now we get a chance to beat up Mr. Oroach!" Kiri bounced enthusiastically.

"Don't forget Kabu- toad!"

"Oh yeah!! Aren't we supposed to help you pack Kami?"

"... WHAT DO YOU THINK I'VE BEEN DOING?!" to illustrate her point, Kami held up an almost- full suitcase.

"Don't forget the pocky!!" Kami grinned and filled the suitcase up the rest of the way with boxes of pocky. The three

girls put together ate around 5 boxes a day. They loved it.

"Hmm... oh Kami, how many days are we staying?"

"Around 5 years..."

"5 years? Won't we run out of pocky?!" squeaked Kiri.

"..."

"HOW DID OUR PARENTS AGREE?!"

"Apparently time moves quicker there so it'll seem like 5 days to your parents... but 5 years with a psychotic murderer is

not my idea of 'fun'..." Kami shook her head.

"Why are you only bringing one suitcase?"

"Oh, that... apparently we'll get new clothes th- OH HELL!!" Kami swore. Her friends looked puzzled.

"What?"

"You guys should go pack a small suitcase 'cuz otherwise it would look... ya know. Suspicious. So meet me here in three

hours."

"Kay! See ya!" Kiri scampered down the stairs with Yuuki hot on her heels.
