Okay, I was supposed to upload this story weeks ago, but my dad unhooked the computer where my story was!

Thanks for waiting, people!

FOUR SEASONS

CHAPTER ONE - ACCIDENT

The world is varied with many different kinds of people. We all have diverse personalities, interests, and goals in life. But, how is it that two individuals with clashing lifestyles can possibly come across each other? This is what you ask yourself when you are surrounded by the many friends and relatives that you love .. You think how fortunate you are to be with that person and wonder how you came upon meeting them .. Was is all random luck? One of those "right place at the right time" sort of things? Or can we perhaps state that it was more like, oh, say, fate?

It was a bright and sunny day in Tokyo. There were people shopping, birds chirping, and children playing .. but let's focus on one particular child. A sweet little seven year old girl named Aya Hoshino.

Life for Aya wasn't as great compared to other children in Tokyo, for she had no family to live with. She lived in a shelter for homeless children where a kind nun took her in about two years ago. Things got pretty tough for her, even though they do provide her an education and take very good care of her. She was a very bright young girl, although she did not have such a bright life. But it wasn't always like this .. Aya did, in fact, have a family and a true home at one point.

A few years ago, Aya's father left her and her mother to join the armed forces. But, seven months later, he was unfortunately killed in his line of duty. Ms. Hoshino grieved over her beloved husband's death, but had no time to be depressed. She had a five year old daughter to support and feed. Ms. Hoshino now had to work late at night just as well as in the morning so she could mainstay their current living.

It was a summer night, the day Aya lost her home. There was an accident that happened while Aya was home by herself. Yes, I know, Aya had irresponsible parents for just leaving her alone. Although, her mother always was kind and loved and cared for her a lot. But Aya's mother was young and yet had a lot to learn about parenting. Moving along .. the stove in their kitchen was left unwatched. And well, you get the picture. The kitchen and living room rapidly burned into a crisp. Aya was terrified and crawled out of her bedroom window. They had a one-story house, mind you. She ran. She ran away alone .. and had no where to go. Until she found a kind old lady running a small foster center at a church.

The moment that young Aya saw her own home burning down cut her deep inside. It was as if everything that ever happened in her life was being taken away from her .. getting ripped away from her heart. The happy memories spent with her father and mother .. burned into ashes.

After that, Aya was announced missing. Ms. Hoshino had no money to hire people who could search for her venerated daughter. The only daughter she had and cared for, gone and out of her reach. But Aya realized that she must live as a lone wolf now. But she was too young to notice that her life wasn't actually what you call "average living". She thought of the cup as half full, if you know what I mean.

But, as of now, our young Aya is healthy, playful, and very much alive ..

Aya played with the ball she always carried around with her. She ran up and down the streets of neighborhoods bouncing her favorite toy. She threw it up in the air while passing by a development, but she wasn't quite paying attention to her surroundings. The ball flew off and accidentally hit a young boy in the head. He fell flat out on the ground with a loud THUD.

"Oww!!" the boy yelled as he fell on the pavement face down, leg twitching.

"Oh!" Aya cringed at the painful sight. "Sorry!" she yelped as she ran up to him after retrieving her ball.

"Ouch .. you should watch where you're throwing that thing," the lad said as he sat up rubbing his head. "You could really give someone permanent brain damage!"

"I- I'm sorry .. really," she apologized again, but with more sincerity.

"F- forget it. It's alright, I guess," the boy said looking away, with a big "x" bandage on his head. "Uh, do you live around here? I've never seen you before."

"Uhmm, no, not really," she replied.

"So, where are you from?" he questioned.

"Uhm," she thought. How could she say she had no real home? "I stay with .. my a-aunt. A few blocks from here," she lied.

"Oh," he replied curiously. "How old are you?"

"S- seven."

"Me too! I live in that house over there," he pointed to a nice, big house a few doors away. "My name's Rei," He put out his hand for her to shake.

"Oh .. I'm Aya," she said shyly as she shook the grinning Rei's hand. He looked ecstatic to be meeting another kid. But of course, a lot of young children are.

"REI!" called a woman from down the street.

"Oh, That's my mom! Well, uh, I guess I'll see you later Aya!" he said as he waved at her while running to his house.

"Oh .. bye," she said waving back, as she faintly smiled.

Aya skipped down the road humming a happy tune. How long has it been since she got acquainted with a new person? Meeting someone new had truly made her day. But the next thing that happened ended it.

Aya was about to cross a quiet street. She looked both ways before crossing, of course. She was already in the middle of the road when a speeding car, probably with a drunk driver inside, came rushing out of nowhere. Aya saw the vehicle coming from the corner of her eye.

"Wha-- ?" But before Aya could finish saying that one word, she was hit with such a force. Luckily, the driver slammed the brakes a small distance from Aya so it didn't have as great of an impact.

Aya was still on the ground .. Fortunately, she was still a LITTLE conscious. The driver, not knowing what to do, panicked and drove off. Aya put her hand up to her head and realized that blood was slowly trickling down her face. Her body was in anguish and her legs trembled. She used her remaining strength to crawl to the sidewalk. She immediately remembered Rei pointing out where his house was.

"It .. it was that one," she thought as she looked at the largest house on the block and started to limply walk towards it. Aya walked up their yard and rang the doorbell. "Ouch .. nngh .. e- everything hurts." She started to cry. This was just too much pain to bear for a little girl. She then collapsed right there on the Otohata porch. Someone answered the door. It was Rei's mother.

"Yes, hello? May I -- " she looked down, stared a while, then finally yelled loudly for her husband.

"What's wrong!?" Mr. Otohata came to the door followed by Rei. "A- a girl?" he said in a flustered way.

"Hey, that's my friend!" Rei pointed out. "A- Aya? Wake up!" He started to shake her shoulder. "Dad, what's wrong with her?"

"She looks badly injured. Rei, don't shake her like that. I'm guessing she just fainted. I'll see." Rei's father was luckily a doctor.

Moments passed. Mr. Otohata took Aya to his clinic and had her x-rayed and such. He had the nurses get her bandaged up in the major spots, but he thought she was okay enough to take her back home to his house that night .. maybe ..

Meanwhile, Rei was at home spazzing.

"Mom! What if Aya dies!?"

"No, Rei, Aya won't die .. don't think like that .. your dad knows what he's doing," Ms. Otohata tried calming down her son.

Ms. Otohata was a kind woman. I'd say she looked like she was about in her mid thirties or so. She had straight dark brown hair that came to her shoulders and had dark lavender eyes. She had a very calm aura around her. She was usually very successful in calming Rei down. But this time, it wasn't going too well.

"But I just met Aya, mom .. I wanted to see if she could play tomorrow," Rei pouted, truly upset.

"Oh, Rei, it'll be alright. She'll be fine. If Aya is okay, your father will take her home later tonight, and you can play when she gets better."

"I hope you're right," Rei said sadly. "Aya .. it's okay, mom said you'll be fine.." he sighed. "Well, at least I hope so .."
