I woke up with a piercing headache. I shake my head trying to shake the headache off. Which quite worked.
What happened?
I look around to see myself in a room? A plain white room? It was nice? I cod say. The bed is very fluffy and comfy.
"Oh, you're awake." I just nod at the old man. If I'm in Toyko Revengers then does that mean if Shinichiro is still 10 there is still many years before his death... 13 years to be exact.
Did the manga mentioned the name of their grandpa?
I don't think so.
"Does it hurt somewhere?" This is awkward.
"Ah, no." How to enhance my social skills?
"Then, let's go down and eat dinner." Dinner? Isn't it suppose to be lunch?
I look at the window to see the moon already shown its beauty.
I took the seat infront of Shinichiro.
I look at the food remembering I don't know how to use chopsticks.
Should I ask for a fork and spoon? Will that be disrespectful?
Nevermind...
"Do you not like the food?" I look at the old man.
"N-no its not that. I only know how to use spoon and fork." I blurted it out, finally.
"Oh, okay then." The old man stands up going to the kitchen again. He returned here with a spoon and fork.
"Use this." I nod at him.
"Thank you." I quietly said not really use on saying thank you, sorry, or something.
(A/N: That's actually my personality I'm someone who would say thank you awkwardly. So sometimes I don't say thank you or your welcome I just look at them and nod or smile at them.)
All of us heard a big cry.
"Manjiro." Shinichiro was the one to stand up and go upstairs. As he got down I saw a baby Mikey playing with Shinichiro's hair. Baby Mikey looked up me then grin widely.
I smile at the baby.
Baby Mikey giggle at my tactics. Is it just me or even in my past life babies kinda likes it when I smile at them or play at them. Though I sometimes hate babies or kids because they're too noisy, pesky, and annoying.
(Another personality of mine.)
"Manjiro look. From now on she's you nee-san." I smile at the baby again. This household is very welcoming and kind.
Now that I think about it. I haven't checked my appearance. Meh, later. I need to eat this food first.
•••
I look at the human sized morror in my room.
I still have my old appearance. Very black straight hair that was complimented by many, black eyes, and a mole in my left chin.
(I have a mole in my left chin too.)
The only difference is that I have a light brown skin but now I have white as snow skin. Must be because of being Japanese now.
I admit I'm plain looking. Unlike the TR female characters that's so pretty. Some did say I'm pretty but--- yeah, no thanks I'm not.
"Mikaela?" I sigh. I need more time alone.
"Yes?"
"Are you already going to sleep?" Obviously.
"Ah, yes." I wish my phone is here.
"Goodnight." I didn't answer not really use with someone telling goodnight or something. It always make me cringe.
I just need sleep.

Three years have passed and I still need to get used to this kind of lifestyle.
Like... how to adjust fast?
I'm in first grade now and was waiting for Shinichiro to pick me up. Though he wants me to call him nii-san I call him 'Kuya' I'm glad he still doesn't know what kuya means.
(In Filipino 'kuya' means big brother.)
"Kuya, what took you so long?" I'm more comfortable to him now. But I still have this awkward thing inside me.
"I'm Shinichiro not kuya and I was buying doroyaki for Mikey." I give him a smug look then rolling my eyes.
"Oi, watch your attitude and call me 'nii-san'." I continue walking.
"No way." I saw him pout.
In my knowledge I think Emma was suppose to be in the Sano household when Mikey is 8. I still have 4 years to prepare myself to another person.
(And I think it's when Emma is 3 that time but— oh well, this is my AU anyways.)
"Here." I accepted the mochi ice cream. Atleast I know how to use chopsticks now but I still prefer spoon and fork.
"Where's my thanks?" I sigh.
"Thank you." I mumble.
"See it's not that hard to say 'thank you'." My eyes twitch. I'll admit even though I enjoy his company... he's still annoying.
"Grandpa, we're home." Shinichiro announced. I heard heavy footsteps for me to be just engulf by a hug.
I just awkwardly hug back. It's been years since Mikey start to hug me randomly and I'm still not used to it. Knowing how I hate being touch for some reasons. I always cringe when someone randomly touch me.
(Yup, that's me. I know it's not just me that hates being touch.)
I look at Shinichiro who's now in his depress mode. I don't wanna deal with this.
He was expecting to be the one to be hugged afterall. Though, I want Mikey to just hug Shinichiro and not me.
I sigh.
"Mikey, go hug Shin he have Doroyaki with him." I told Mikey.
"Really?" I nod at him. Taking his arms off me he runs to Shinichiro and hug him.
"Wahhhh Mikey I thought you don't love me. Here some doroyaki." I sigh again. Atleast he's out of his depress mode. He spoil Manjiro much.
Taking my shoes off then putting it in our shoe stand then walking straight to my room. This is my comfort space.
I need a nap.
•••
"Nee-chan." I felt someone shaking me.
"Nee-chan." I groan.
"Nee-chan time to eat." I open my eyes to see Mikey in my bed.
"You can go out first I'll follow."
"Hai~" As soon as Mikey got out I change my elememtary uniform and change to something comfortable. Then going down to the dining area.
"Itadakimasu." The four of us said in unison.
"How's school Mikay?" Grandpa ask me.
(Mikay pronunciation is Mi-ka-i.)
"It was good." I simply answered.
"Did you make any friends?" Mikey ask me.
"No, I haven't." That was the painful reality afterall. I was so used to someone who'll be the one to first approach me than me approaching them.
(I'll be honest all my friends are like that. I was never the one to approach them, they were the one to approach me.)
"You should make some friends Elle." I look at Shinichiro. He's the only one who's calling me Elle because everyone is calling me 'Mika' or 'Mikay'. Maybe he got it in my 'Janelle'.
"Yeah, sure."
