Immigrant: Book 1: Travel by Boat

It was a cold night in Japan. Even though it was summer, nobody played. Except Hakio, a small black cat. He was 4 moons old, and loved mischief. He frequently played jokes on his owners, like putting a mouse heart on in their clothes. They would just shake their heads and say "Oh, Hakio!" But one night, his owners weren't in a laughing mood. "It is too cold here!" the male said. The female nodded in agreement, saying "We should go somewhere warm until this freezing temperature goes away." Of course, Hakio didn't know what they were saying, for he was a cat. But he could tell they were serious. What are they planning? thought Hakio. The owners got their items in their luggage bags, taking Hakio with them in a cat carrier. Darn! thought Hakio. He hated cat carriers. The owners drove to a large boat and gave the large men some shiny stuff, and they were getting on the boat, when they were suddenly stopped by the large man. "Halt! You cannot carry a cat with you! It is against policy!" The owners lets out a sad gasp. "But we love him like family!" The guard shook his head. The male set Hakio down. "Go-goodbye, my beloved cat!" he said as tears came down from his eyes. He went on the boat with the female. The guard looked down at Hakio. "Get out, stupid cat!" He said as he kicked him. Hakio yowled with fury, leaping at the guard and clawing his face. The guard yowled with pain, and Hakio jumped on the boat just as it closed up. I'm on! thought Hakio. He waved at the guard as he went away from Japan and headed to UK.
