Chapter 2: The past goes back to me ...

It's the last day of school before Christmas. All the students got together and enjoyed their last day together. While some were screaming and running around, others were hugging each other, tears in their eyes, and without realizing that they could still meet again during the holidays, except for assignments to others cities like Tokyo or Hiroshima.

Basically, I wanted to admit that it was already better without the presence of my father. And then, I represent a real public danger because of him, of my past. I still regret hiding it from him.

Not only it was the last day of school, but it was also the award ceremony for students who had a good average. Everyone was proud of it. Suddenly a hand came to rest on my shoulder. And when I turned around I saw a rather tall young man with brown hair. He smiled kindly at me, who was surprised to see him holding out a piece of paper which I put in my pocket.

_ What's this? I asked him.

_ My phone number. I would like to talk with you,we don't really have the right to see each other, you and me.

_ An order from my father, I guess.

_ Rather that of my mother. It's more like a lease, I think. Okay, well, "sister"

And he left, as if nothing had happened. It was Suga, my father's nephew. Her mother has always been very protective with her son. If she wanted, she would move far enough away from her brother and me. Suga was the only friend of my childhood. He often lived with us and even we went on vacation together with our parents, before everything turned upside down. He is like a brother to me. But, since the disappearance of my father Jiang, I could not see him again because of Jiang who wanted to lead a criminal association ... Nobody, but then nobody has any right to know what he represents for me, " daughter of an assassin ", especially when they decided to take me to the same high school as my cousin. Even if I didn't see him often since we avoided each other so as not to get in trouble ...

I joined Y/N who hugged me tightly, moved by his result. Then we went to lunch in a restaurant to celebrate. The restaurant was half empty. We placed our order and stayed seated for a while.

_ Ha ... I would like to see each other during the holidays. Said she. What do you think?

_ Yes, that would be great.The waiter arrived with the order and we started to eat.

_ Come to my house. Besides, it's winter. It must be very cold at your place, all alone. When will your parents be home already?

_ Uh ... I don't know.

_ Don't they call you often?

_ They are very busy right now. They don't have time for that. So ... Maybe you'd come with us to Korea.

_ Are you going to Korea?

_ Yes, we said to ourselves that if my father is called to work and he has to go to Korea, we will follow him and take advantage of it!

_ Oh ... I don't know. Okay, well, I'll go with you.

_ Cool! Actually,I always wanted to meet your parents but they are never there. Are they nice?

_ A little.

                             L.I.E.S

_ .... Otherwise, we could stop talking about them, please?

I feel bad. Bad to lie to you more ... But, maybe it's better like that ... We were walking down the street to get home. The snowflakes looked very heavy. Arrived in an alleyway, we left each other and now continued on our way, alone ... It has been three days since I left Saitama. I am there, lying on the sofa with Y/N waiting for the return of his parents. When they return, his mother says that unfortunately they will not be able to go to Korea for Christmas because of tomorrow's storm. So they will spend Christmas here. And since they are forced to stay, her mother decided to have a Christmas feast with the close family of her mother and the distant family of his father who is visiting Tokyo.

**Kyomi Hoshimura**

It's almost Christmas and for me it's the same routine every year since mom died. For years after Jiang's disappearance, I had always spent Christmas alone in this big abandoned mansion.

But this time, I was invited by Y/N and his family to celebrate Christmas with them. In his family, the celebration of Christmas is very different from mine, they decorate their house from the main portal to the ceiling. This year her mother invited me to spend it with them. She is so nice but I don't know if I have the right to go there, but hey who could prevent me. Father, I don't even know if you are still somewhere in this world.And, for the first time  in my life, let me be happy.Th idea of being Y/N's special guest bothers me a bit because I'm not used to being the center of attention and even less getting stuck in family celebrations. Y/N's mother made me a lovely dress that I should put on a feast. And so as not to make me feel left out, the guests will all be young heirs of the distant family of Y/N or classmates even if one cannot really say that I speak to the other students of the college.

• Christmas day

The sun has just risen and so have I. I'm still in my bed when there's a knock on my door. She is a cleaning lady who comes to bring me breakfast. Two hours later, I am with Y/N to help them with the preparations for the evening. We decide to add more decorations on the tree in the reception room.

_ My little Kyomi is what you would be kind enough to stop helping us and go get ready. Remember you still have to curl your hair. Go relax with Y/N, I'll take care of the rest.

_ If you insist.

With these words I go to find where my friend is to join her. She is in her room in the train with a Korean beauty mask on her face.

_ You finally decide to go up, come and try my beauty mask .

_ Okay ... said I while going towards her.

_ You will see, my family is very sympathetic I am sure that you will adore them or the reverse, I mean that they will adore you.

~ ***Feast time***

There are a lot of people for just close friends. Everyone know Y/N and I feel like a jug that follows it everywhere. I see Light in the distance, it is true that I never speak to him but he is also the only person I know so be kind Kyomi if you do not want to be alone all evening. So I approach him and throw a "Hey" .

_ Eh ... hey Kyomi that's your name right.

_ Yes and you it's Light is not.

_ You really have to be alone to arrive to the point of coming to see me. He throws me a modest time.

_ If you want to interpret it like that, yes that's right.

**Kim Lee \(Y/N**\)

I must admit that I never thought I would see so many people at this feast. There are too many that I don't even have the time to devote to Kyomi. But luckily, she found a friend and it's Light. For my part, I am with a distant cousin whose name is Aïjen. She looks very nice but also very shy.

•***After the feast***

Kyomi Hoshimura\

I am back at the manor and I decide to finally call Suga.

_ Hello? Suga? You told me to ...

_ Kyomi.

Through the phone, I heard a deep voice from a tired man. It wasn't Suga.

_ It's your father. It's been two months since I sent you this number and it's now that you call me !? I hope you are doing well in Iwatsuki.

I suddenly felt overwhelmed by what I heard, I swallowed every word he said .

_... By the way, I was no longer waiting for you to call me, Kyomi, to tell you that in a few weeks, I will come back to live with you, in Saitama. So, I hope you will enjoy my presence after all these years! Don't worry, I'll be back soon, I promise.

What I had just heard meant absolute death for me ...

And then, in four weeks, we will come back to school.

The anxiety obsessed me until I ended up looking very pale. In fact, the paper I had received in recent weeks. It came from my father. If I hadn't found him, he wouldn't come this far, what a nightmare!

The phone rang again. I dared not pick up. And if it was still him, if he told me that he would come back even tomorrow ...

The phone rang five times. Finally, I grab it, fear knotting my stomach.

_What now ?! I was shouting.

_oh ... Calm down! It's okay ? There is a problem ?

 ***Y/N was on the aircraft***.

_Y ... Y/N? It's you? Where are you ?

_ Who else? I'm almost at home.

_ hum ... Sorry. I panic for nothing.

_ You know that I find you suspicious ... Finally, in short, I wanted to tell you that I returned from Korea. I am at the airport. We will be able to meet again, Kyo!

"In five weeks ... I'll be back ..."

_ Sorry, I'm really busy. We'll talk to each other tomorrow, if you want.

_ But wait, Kyomi, you ...

It has been nine years since I last saw Jiang Yeon, my father. Indeed, it is a Korean but my mother is Japanese. A long time ago, after the death of my mother Saiko Hoshimura, he became depressed and moved to California, to his grandparents' residence. He had lived there, it seems, with Lee and Kang Yeon who had already retired at that time. Then, two years later, he returned to iwatsuki to see me and Suga again. Since then, he taught us how to defend ourselves with combat techniques at our age, even if we didn't really want to. He trained us every day of his stay. And we, the children, we didn't understand why he made us suffer this. I was only six years old at the time. That day, I noticed that he had changed. He had buried his humor, his joy ...
