An unexpected guest

So I started my trip to Nagai with nostalgia and loads of time to write and blog, however, my trip took a turn when an unexpected person knocked on JoeyD's door my second day in town.

I had just been outside talking to Chikako and had gone up stairs to JD's place when all of a sudden there was a knock on the door. I was almost sure it was Nathaniel seeing as how it was the day that he said he was going to arrive into town, but was shocked to open the door and see Chiaki there.

Chiaki and I had been very good friends until Hanami-kai over a year and half ago when we got into a huge fight and stopped talking. The last 4 or 5 months of my time in Japan were Chiaki-less. This was mainly due to stubbornness. So when she was standing outside the door I didn't know what to expect. I immediately gave her a big hug, but was still cautious because I wasn't sure if she was going to start screaming at me or crying or what. She came in and sat down and started talking as if we had never been apart. Over a year and half and we talked as if we were hanging out just yesterday.

She then invited me to dinner and drinks and that was the start of my trip to Japan. She insisted that I stay at her house instead of a hotel like I was planning when JoeyD got back to Nagai. The entire trip she cooked for me, cared for me and was the sweetest kindest person ever. When she cares about a person there is not a single selfish bone in her body. When.
