With the huge decision on his shoulders now it was the time that Raiku had to make the right choice on where his family would be residing, but even that was a tough choice on himself not to know that he will be happy but mainly for the sake of his own family's feeling on things. True in his mind living in the U.S was a blessing and for a year the family lived well up on a mountain village almost close to his home long ago but thats when reality had to set in for one, it wasnt his home from the past but only a bandage to numb the feeling but it had its good sode to it as well with the family enjoying what they did back hime in the small remote village. Going back to Japan would be going back to things but only very bittersweet since it wasnt really home but a temprary relief to be in the roots of where they came from and though it wasnt Hatchi island it was still close to the home they were before the disaster as well as things would be closer with the islands they planned to stay on not like before when it would be a long hike down to get to the market and hostpital.....he made his mind then.
"Family.....I want whats best for everyone and....I think we should go back to where are roots are and start back our life back in the rising sun.

I took Raiku's hand.
"I know you're making the right choice for us. Every step of the way, we'll b facing together. I'm ready when you are." I smiled to him and he looked down at the kids.
"We depart from America in one month. As for me, I'm going to go look at Hitachi and see what would go on there. Get a bearing on the area. I'm leaving in two weeks, as for you, Sen, I place you in charge and to take care of the family." He said and with that, we looked out to the sun, waiting for a new chapter to our lives.

It was going to be a little rough in the beginning with the family losing their alpha member but the fact going on as well was that Raiku was doing what he needed to do to keep his family happy with what was there. First thing to do was explore the place and see what was around for communities and houses mainly for the children's safety and see to it that none of them would be in harm's way, next would be finding the right places for work even if it ment that it wasnt the place they wanted to be it ment money coming in to pay for the slightest things needed for everyone. Sonce things went down the Hatchis were now marked as a low class family having to live on what they had on their backs, it was going to be a little hard for the beginning but it was up to him to make sure it didnt go too far to the point they were all starving...Raiku didnt want that to happen and had his trip planned as the days started to count down brfore Senente had to step up on the plate and lead the children.

The last of our vacation wrapped up really fast and Raiku was gone before I knew it.
I was now with three kids alone in a house hidden in the mountains. It grew quiet without Raiku and hearing him train Nasagah, or his laughter as Yuki would try and do something on her own like try and get up in his lap only to fall back and land on her cute little bottom.
_________________________
As He flew over Japan, Raiku saw Skyline's key landmark, the temple up in the mountains with the blueish and green tinted windows. He scanned the air and the plane shook. Raiku thought that it was turbulence, but came to see that it was Charizard and he was heading down by the ocean and was surprised on what he saw. No tree tops, but land as well, and ruins of a house, mainly no roof, but there was an opening, and he pulled his phone out right away.
"Sen.....It's me. The Island has surfaced!" He told me

He was almost hard to hear but Senente held on the phone close to try and hear what he was saying but the turbelance was stong making the call pretty choppy at first till the keywords came out.
At first she was thinking he was in trouble and was in need of help but as soon as the words 'island' and 'still remaining' was heared from him Senente almost dropped the phone in pure shock, the place they called home was still standing with some damage but that was something that could easily be fixed with time while the other island would be made a temp home till theirs was being constructed.
Once she was able to pick the phone back up Senente was able to understand a cheer as well that things would be alright and back to normal, she was even loud enough to have the children overhear and shout out in happiness that they would be close to home.

I was trying not to choke up as I knew that ti was only going to be time as we were almost closer to home than what I dreamed of.
"Instead of trying to build another house on another island, let's stay in the temple....and we'll rebuild everything." I said to him in near tears.
After talking with him, I called the kids down and Everest brought Yuki with her as I sat them next to me on the couch.
"Daddy went to go look at Hitachi, but instead found out that our island is still ok, we just need to make a few repairs." I told them and soon enough, the kids were asking questions as I placed in an order for tickets and was going to surprise Raiku when we landed in one week

As he was looking around on the island Raiku could see that some things remained the same even after being underwater for some time, each turn of the head and what his eyes saw brought back a memoriy from the caverns that Senente and him explored to the several holes Yuki used to dug around for beetles that were nothing more than filled up mud pits. He was mainly glad that the pokemon knew what to do and slowly started to come back once it was deemed safe to stay on the island. Their house on the other hand had plenty to do before it was considered a home with a few things to repair and a wall to be build back up, as well as the furnishing to be put back in order.
"It'll be a little bit till the family can call home this place again....but....on the bright side we still have the one place we all see as our memory from the past."
He walked around till he got tired and sailed off eastern where Senente had looked at the islands they would be calling home and searched around the place to see it was like a smaller, more old fasion Skyline but in the late times with some forms of modern times, a small town on an island.

Now that i knew well that the island was alright, it was going to be sometime as we were packing some clothes to go back to Skyline, and yet, there was so many things that we were leaving behind. I knew well that we had to replace things like the television, the main forms of entertainment, but, we still had many other things to replace as well. As I looked, we were getting low on food again, and this time, there was no trip to the market, but, what there was is a trip back home.
As the weeks finally ended, it was late September when Raiku was working with his brothers and the house had the siding on it once more, but instead of what it looked like when I moved in, the door had a path to it from the beach, which lead to a stone archway, and a dark brown door with windows on each side, the shingles on the house were slowly heading the right way as the pastel blue was being melted on to the wood of the house thanks to the fire pokemon, now it was onto the inside.
Starting with the drywall, and painting each room to it's own taste, little Yuki's was a nice dark purple now, Everest had several books shelf on a light creme wall, Nasagah's walls were a light shade of a yellow-green as for our room, was a nice shade of white, but not pure snow white, it had a slight grayish tint to it. The kitchen had white, grey and black tiles along the sink, and the counter tops were made out of polished pine. The house was way different as he thought that ti was perfect.
His phone rang.
'Hey, Hatchi boy. How is everything looking at home?" I ask.
"Sen, hun, you should see it! It is just so great. The whole community came together. The school, the studio, everything! It's perfect!" He said to me over the phone as he heard the door open.
"You're right, it is beautiful!" I reply to him as he peeks into the living room to see me and the kids.

It was just pure joy to see a familier place as he dropped everything he had in his hands to run outside to see her and the kids again, as if it felt like years since they've been apart he picked Senente up in a swing just happy to see her again.
"Now we can start to bring our old life back just where we left it off....you, me, the children....all back to normal just how we liked it."
Raiku was really in the moment as he led his family in the developing house and the kids could see the new and old changes still being done in their rooms with new things to replace the old. Though it was nice to see Senente had the feel that there were things that couldnt be replaced like her ribbons, the hard work sent out to see without having to return again. Raiku could see the look in her eyes and smirk....a little odd to have on a bad subject but scrummage in his pocket for it and placed something shiny in her hand.
"Not all is lost hun, I happen to find it on the beach while I was walking."
She opened her palm to see a shine of silver with cloth to it....a hard earned ribbon.

Next thing I knew is that tears were coming to my eyes seeing the ribbon. I knew that now, there was a possibility that some may be still there. I just had the feeling. As we looked around the house, at the end of the upper hallway next to mine and Raiku's room, there was a door with a little green light.
"This is your new study, Sen." He took me up some winding stairs to a door and I looked at the window. We were above the upper level of the house. I saw the outside of this portion, almost like a tower. He handed me the key and I opened up to a room with small pots of plants, and a couple of glass cases.

As Senente gain a little more confidance about her ribbons it made things a little more better with positive thought that there was a possibility that some more could be around if Raiku was able to find one in the sand. The family watched as some of the workers that volenteered for time in to help them out put things together piece by piece and they even had a place to be living till the damages were done, a small apartment that was ironically the building next to a specific knuckle head that Senente knew too much, though it was a bit of a stretch to persuede Senente into living that close but had the idea that he didnt even know that they were back in town and wouldnt be a problem. Raiku opened the door to their temp home and showed them around the small space that was quite a change from an actual house.

I was not one that was not happy knowing that we were next door to Naruto of all people, but he was gone most of the day to help with the building of the house. It was almost done with Raiku working three and a half weeks on the house, we could be in there around Yuki's birthday, my job was to go pick out the furniture and everything that will be going in the house. Next was transporting it there. That was a huge problem....I really had to think as I looked at the couches in a catalog out of the several that were in front of me.

Even with the house as close as done as it was still had alot to go mainly to make sure the support beams were secure to withstand a army, and as well fill it back up with furniture and the things that were lost but there was a good bright side to it all in a way, they would be able to remodel like they wanted to do for a long time and found the time. At the apartment Senente was swarmed with catalog after catalog as well as a laptop to look for new things as the children were playing around the small space which was hard at times since they lived very complex.

As I placed the next order in for a couch that is a black color base with green red and blue style patches in a series of patterns, I began looking at sinks. Everest really like the one shaped like a seashell, but i wanted something modern. I looked at it and saw a white marbling sink with black marble swirled inside of it with a mirror and cabinet under it. I placed an order for that, and soon, everything was falling into place. I had the kitchen and the bathrooms done. I gave two bedroom books to Everest and Nasagah so they could look and see what they want.
As the day wound down, Raiku came back with more books and sat them on the table. They were labeled for kitchens. He closed my laptop and settled me in on the hide in couch with us living in a two bedroom apartment, we had the girls take one room Nasagah take another, and we slept in the living room.

The new arrangments were a bit hard to go and get used to with the family as big as they were in a small space they were able to gain, on the bright note the house would be done soon and the room would be more to have then now but it was the best than just out in the middle of nowhere. The night was somewhat restless with them living near a busy street and the hustle and bustle of the city right below them, for Senente she wondered how Naruto would be able to sleep in such a raquet but knew from past experiences how much of a rock he was to sleeping just like Raiku was, not even another quake would be enough for him to stir. In the small bed she made the best of it as he wrapped his arm around her giving her the comfort she was used to after all this time which gave her a little time for sleep before Yuki woke up to the noise from outside scaring her. Since moving in the apartment her naps were off even with the windows shut the noise still made its way in.
