Finally!!! Today was the day! The first day to a whole year of freedom.
Yari was so excited when she first heard the news that she packed all of her belongings that very night. Yari might have accidentally made a hole in the wall in her eagerness to collect all of her things… BUT It *did* provide a nice refreshing breeze within her room, so she left it alone. Besides, she would probably make the hole worse in her clumsy attempts to fix it.
She took one last look around her room looking for anything that she may had forgotten to pack. Yari's room seemed pretty bare, until she noticed something sticking out from under her mat. She gave herself a good face-palm when she realized what she had almost left behind. It was a picture of herself and her dad at the Sopporo Concert Hall. She will never forget the sound of the orchestra and the way her father eagerly pointed out each of the instruments to her. It was the greatest day of Yari's life and her fondest memory of her father.
She carefully placed the picture in her bag and bounded out of the room. Once she was outside of the Sohma residence, she breathed in the fresh air then giggled and twirled in contentment. Ahh… the taste of freedom.
Of course, Yari had no idea where she was going to go… Yari never planned that far ahead. But she had a lot of money left to her from when her father died, and the amount grew each month with every check Yari's mother sent her. For Yari's mother, it was a small price to pay in order to get Yari to leave the house and never show her face there again… Yari still don’t know why she despised her when Yari loved her so much.
Yari quickly shook her head to rid myself of the hurtful memories she had of her mother. Yari received a couple of odd looks from the people around her, so she smiled, bounced, and waved her entire arm as a greeting towards them.
“Hello there! Lovely day today, isn’t it?!” Yari shouted in their direction. The people then dashed in the opposite direction to avoid her. Yari pouted a little at her failed attempt to make friends. Oh well. They were probably just shy. Yeah… that MUST be it! Yari was sure she would meet others who would want to talk to her.
Yari continued to walk around in the outside world and noticed a flower shop. There were so many beautiful colors!!!! She gaped in awe at the different bouquets when she was suddenly struck with an idea. Yari bought a bouquet of carnations and took off in the direction of her old home.
Once Yari had finally reached the house she snuck up to the front door, carefully placed the flowers on the door mat, knocked on the door, and ran to hide behind a bush. A moment later the door opened and Yari saw her mother look outside in confusion. Yari's mother suddenly smiled when she saw the carnations. She picked up the flowers and took one last look around outside before heading back into the house.
Yari felt proud of herself for being able to make her mother smile like that. Maybe there was still hope for Yari and her mother. After all, she still sends Yari money. She could have just cut Yari out of her life completely but she still cared enough to make sure Yari was well off. Maybe they could repair their relationship. Yari had a whole year to work on it, so that’s a good thing.
Yari happily skipped down the road when she felt a vibration in her pocket. She pulled out her cell phone and answered it.
“Hello~ this is Yari speaking~!” she sang into the receiver.
"Yari!!! You need to come back to the main house quickly! God is calling a mandatory meeting with all of the zodiacs!”

This is my first time in an RP. So I greatly encourage constructive criticism. Let me know if I should change anything!
