Yori's Death Creates A Void/Chapter 1

<p>"Tadaima!" (I'm home!) I said as impolitely  as I could, not caring a tiny bit of my environment.<br/><br/>The night seemed long as always.<br/><br/> It's been awhile since I got back from school with my parents arguing as they always do, over a topic of some sought, it's been like this for countless nights.<br/><br/>As I sat there listening, my mind couldn't help but drift to what it was like before my family became this.<br/><br/>     When I wad a kid, my family felt warm and was always the  happiest home on the planet: where I wasn't afraid to be a child. My sister and I where the happiest children on earth, my parents where  so in love that you could swear that nothing could break them apart.<br/><br/>It was the best home.<br/><br/>One day it all changed; a sudden phone call shattered everything.<br/><br/>     "Kon ban wa, ma'am are you Kaoru" said the stranger at the end of the phone <br/><br/>"Yes this is she, how may I help you?"<br/><br/>"There's been an accident" <br/><br/>I watched as the phone at fell from my mom's ear. Those words at the end of the call seemed to have shattered my mothers world,as we rushed to the hospital.<br/><br/>I didnt know much about my surroundings and kept myself busy as a child would as she went off to talk with the doctor.<br/><br/>My mom came back but she wasn't the same lively woman I had known was 20minutes  ago, she came out with her hands glued to her face,wet from all her tears, as she sobbed continuously.<br/> <br/>Why was she crying? I wondered.<br/><br/>I've never seen her cry before.<br/><br/> My Aunty and her husband arrived at the scene as she headed straight for my mom. Aunty tried soulfully to comfort her but couldn't, neither could I.<br/><br/>I couldn't help but ask, as a child "Sorehanandesuka?"(what is it?)<br/><br/>My Aunty's husband left to tend to my childish question. <br/><br/>His eyes were light but yet I  felt like  something was wrong<br/>"Don't worry, everything is fine." He said to me.<br/><br/>Yori never came back home that day; they wouldn't let me see her at the hospital either; I asked severally about her but all they did was look at me pitfully with those eyes of theirs.<br/><br/>When I was able to see father, he was laying there wrapped in white clothes on some part of his body. <br/><br/>Dad woke up but Yori didn't.<br/><br/> A day came and mom said we had to go send Yori off, because she was going to heaven. I didn't quiet understand it but as she said those words she seemed to have cry alot . <br/><br/>At the funeral Mom cried and cried till her eyes turn red, she couldnt even look at father and father couldnt raise his head to look mom in the eyes.<br/><br/>Yori's picture was placed on the alter with candles lite around it; people dressed in black came around, hugging and greeting my parents.<br/><br/>"What were they doing and why are they here" I though as I sat in the corner playing with Yori''s toy.<br/><br/>As forward into the present, I finally understood as  time passes, and so did the warm and lovely home I once enjoyed, now filled with anger and sadness.<br/><br/>It felt lonely without Yori.<br/><br/>Mom and Dad arguing all the time: morning, night; they wouldn't stop, couldn't agree on the smallest things.<br/><br/>Will my life be like this one day, or will I be better than them, I wondered.<br/><br/>     Loud noise in the <br/>                                   background....<br/><br/>    " I dont care what you think, we are living"  Mrs.Yamazaki says angrily.<br/><br/>"You can't just take my son away from me"Mr. Hinode says in response.<br/><br/>"When last did you act as a father towards him, don't pretend to care" Mrs.Yamazaki says fearsly as she storms out of the room.</p>
