Summary: When 13-year-old Kanon Yuen gets an assignment to write about a fantasy world during summer break, her parents decide to whisk her off to Japan to learn about a legend. However, what she finds there exceeds even her own imagination.

"Kanon, we're taking you to Japan. You're an excellent writer, but you don't have enough motivation. So we want you to learn about our family's legend. "

"Yeah, I got it," I replied. "I" being me, Kanon Yuen. Thirteen years old, asian, brown hair, amber eyes. I sound normal right? Or different? I don't exactly keep track anymore. There's no difference.

Anyway, what my parents are talking about is my homework. That was given over summer break. Lucky me, right? Here's what happened:

A few days before

"Class, it's the day before summer break. Exciting right? So I'm giving you homework. I need all of you to write a story about a different world. A fantasy world. The best entry will be entered in a contest for a thousand dollars. I look forward to reading your entries. You are all dismissed! Have a fun summer!" said the teacher.

It sounded boring already, but what could I do?

I packed up my belongings and walked out the door, ignoring the usual cries such as," I'll miss you, Kanon!" or "Have fun over the summer!" I doubt anyone really cared anyway. It was just a few months, what could change?

Currently

Apparently, a lot could change in two days. I was forced onto a plane, and am now living near a shrine because "they're very magical." So, here I am. In Japan. For some strange reason, I hate it already.

With Souta

I was walking home from the park, finally being able to get away from my friends in the twenty-first century. Finally! I'd been waiting for weeks to go back to the Fuedal Era. It was more peaceful there, now that Naraku was gone, and I hadn't seen my sister for a while. 'Maybe I'll be able to see Rin and Kohaku too...' I thought.

Kids like me tend to fall for people at this age. But the fact that Kohaku and Rin, my two best friends in the Fuedal Era, never thought about relationships and such at all got on my nerves. I mean, what could I say? I had fallen for Rin, very quickly I might add. But there was nothing I could do, she thought of me as a good friend, and nothing more.

As I walked home, I thought more and more of my close friends, wondering if they had changed at all. Kohaku is a shy boy with shoulder length blackish-brown hair. He tends to wear a short blue kimono and a battle kimono, and uses a scythe-like weapon to exterminate demons. He travels all around Japan helping others. Pretty good for a fourteen year old! Rin is a loud girl who has just turned twelve this year. She has black hair and the prettiest, cutest, brown eyes. She almost always wears a pretty kimono, and loves picking flowers.

When I got home, I was ushered back out by my mother who, in her usual cheerful fashion, said,"Souta! Go welcome our new neighbors! They're only here for now, and they have a nice daughter. She needs help writing about a fantasy world revolving around her. If you meet her, you can tell her about the Fuedal Era, no?"

"You mean, bring her there?"

"No! She can't make it through, and you know that. Just tell her about it without actually, well, telling her about it. Can you do that?"

"Sure, I guess."

"Good. Go now! Don't want it to be too late."

This is my first story. So, obviously, I would like to learn a bit more about how to write, tips, and things I could change. Flaming is welcomed with open arms, I'd rather learn how to get better than write horribly.
