Noriko poured some more coffee for herself . For once she didn"t care to ask if anyone else wanted some . The taste was nothing like what James had spoiled her with, but it still offered the kick that tea simply couldn"t deliver .

"I"m becoming less j.a.panese for every year," she thought . Still she held no regrets . At least not concerning that part . It wasn"t as if she didn"t care about j.a.pan; that was still home, but a home that grew more and more distant . In a way she suspected the j.a.pan she knew no longer existed, but for a dream and memories mixed together .
Advertis.e.m.e.nt
With another gulp she corrected that thought . "It"s still there . It hasn"t been that many years . "
Noriko smirked and basked in the weak sun the people here called summer . If she was to be honest with herself the reason she was here right now could be traced back almost another two years before the nightmare she had in mind .
She poured down some more of the traditional, weak coffee Swedes drank in stupendous volumes . Slightly bitter, with a tinge of sour, and too cool for her taste . Coffee should be creamy and thick, and hot, just shy of burning .
"When did things start to break down?" she thought . "Ah, after Nao . " Noriko recalled the tall model . A year older than her . She had been so very much in love with him, but then he betrayed her, and she hadn"t even been the one to chase after him in the beginning .
"But we were breaking apart before that," she remembered . "I just didn"t see it, and to be honest, neither did he . "
Being cheated on, in the end wasn"t the worst . Watching a wedge being driven in between her friends had been . "Kareyoshi, I hope you burn in whatever h.e.l.l they found for you!"
In the end she came to respect and adapt the Swedish way of holding a grudge and exact revenge . A never ending grudge, the absolute refusal to forgive until your opponent had been utterly destroyed, and most often not even then .
Cool, like their coffee .
"Urufu, was it you who helped me, or was it me who helped you?" It didn"t matter . The result would have been the same anyway .
Noriko grimaced, looked at the sea broken by islets and gulped down the last of her coffee .
