I changed my mind about posting that Twilight fic. I am far from confident in any story I write that isn't manga or anime based! So, here, I'm doing another romance/adventure fic. This time it's OCxSesshoumaru. I hope you find it to your liking! Enjoy!
My name is Mori. I...I don't want to admit my age, quite yet.
However, I will tell you that most people think I'm five or six years old, at first glance.
Let's see...My parents left soon after I was born.
No one has ever given an excuse that I believed.
I live in Tokyo, now, with my older sister Hasume, and my older brother Kazeji.
I'm told that I live in Tokyo, anyway. I haven't been outside since the night we moved into this appartment. All my life, I've either been stuck inside, or bundled up in a hat, coat, mask, sunglasses, and gloves, strictly forbidden to take them off.
I'll get to that later, though.
My sister has a job, and my brother has school.
I stay home, and watch the house. Several years ago, they let me get a dog to keep me company.
He was a stray, and I wanted to keep him. He had that sort of 'I'm your friend' look to him.
He only likes me, and bares his fangs at everyone he meets.
Thus, I called him Zuka. He's always been my faithful companion.
He always protects me, listens to me, and treats me like an adult.
We're going out today. Just the two of us.
This will be the first time I ever go out without my sister or brother to take me with them.
And, as I haven't been outside since we moved in, it will be difficult to get around.
But, I had to get to the store. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to make dinner before my sibblings got home.
"Zuka-kun, you have to wait outside the store this time!" I said. "I can't pretend to be blind again!"
Zuka scoffed.
"Please? Just this once?" I asked. "I'll find some way to take you with me next time! I want to feel like I can get by on my own, you know?"
He looked up at me, as I pulled the door closed, and locked it.
"Please." I said.
Zuka growled, and turned away. "Thank you!" I said. "Is there anything you'd like me to get for you while I'm in there?"
He snorted at me, and started down the hall.
I followed him. Outside, I looked around at the crazy city that was our new home.
"Wow..." I said. "Why did Onee-chan move us here? It's easier to be noticed here!"
Zuka started down the side walk. He could already smell where the grocerie store was, I bet.
I followed him. He took me straight there.
"I'll be right back!" I told him.
I went in, and got started on shopping. I went to pick some fish for dinner.
Just as I picked one, some guys walked up behind me.
I could hear them talking. It was muffled through all the clothing I was wearing.
Something told me they were talking about me, though.
I quickly moved on to go get the spices I needed. The men followed pretty quickly.
I had to do something to get away from them.
I went to the check out, and put everything up there.
"My! Your mother must be very proud of you! Shopping all by yourself!" the cashier lady said.
I frowned. "I'm sure she would be." I said.
I payed for the stuff. She put it in a bag for me, and I took that out.
Zuka was waiting for me, patiently.
"Ready to go?" I asked.
He got up, and started walking. I smiled, and followed him.
On the way, I noticed a designer boutique, and stopped.
I looked at the dress in the front window. It was a pale blue, with a bright blue waist tie. The shoes that matched it were bright blue, with pale blue ribbons on the toes.
"How pretty..." I said.
Zuka barked at me. I looked at him, then the dress, and sighed, as I kept walking.
Right about then, I heard someone running. It was faint, so, I figured it was nothing.
Then, someone grabbed me from behind. Their hand landed on my chest.
That did it. I shrieked, and threw the person off of me.
"!" I shrieked.
People stopped to look. Zuka had the pervert by his neck, being careful not to bite without my say-so. I looked down, and gasped. I had dropped my groceries. But, they were unharmed.
That wasn't why I gasped. Right beside the bag, I saw my hat.
I put my hand on my head, and gasped again.
I heard them all talking. Some about the pervert. Others...about my ears.
I had a set of dog ears on my head. I snatched up my hat, and put it on.
"School play tonight! Heh-heh!" I said, trying to silence them.
Some got quieter. I picked up my groceries, and started away.
Zuka let go of the man, and followed me. Just as I crossed the street, a woman stopped me.
I looked up at her. Zuka growled, baring his fangs.
"Down!" I said.
He ceased growling, but, continued to bare his fangs.
The woman knelt before me. "Are you a hanyou?" She whispered.
I gasped. "H-how do you know of...?" I couldn't bare to finish the question.
"My daughter's friend is a hanyou." She said. "He comes to this time every so-often."
I lowered my mask a little bit, and sniffed at her.
She did smell like 'me', in a way. She had delt with a hanyou at some point or another.
"He comes to this 'time'?" I asked.
The woman invited me over to her house. I followed her, of course.
She explained everything to me. "The Bone-Eater's Well, huh?" I said. "Well, no, I don't come from the Sengoku period. I was born and raised in this time."
"Is that so?" She asked. "Then, what of your parents?"
I frowned. "That's the weird part." I said. "They were both human. I was almost human, and born during a solar eclipse. Just as soon as the eclipse ended, I became a hanyou."
I pulled off my hat, sunglasses, and mask.
She wasn't surprized. She looked sympathetic, actually.
I looked at a nearby mirror. Floppy dog ears grew out of my head.
My eyes were molten amber. Trying to smile at my refflection, I revealed my fangs.
The smile fell from my face.
"What's wrong?" The woman asked.
I shook my head. "Never mind!" I said. "You mentioned another hanyou?"
We got to talking, and I soon forgot myself completely.
The woman's daughter, Kagome, came home later, and helped explain further.
Then, her son came home. He came in, and seemed to be surprized that his sister was here.
"Nee-chan! Your home!" He said.
"Nee-chan?" I said.
Realisation hit me hard, like an anvil. I gasped.
"Onee-chan! Oh, I am so dead!" I said.
I hopped up, putting on my hat, mask, and glasses.
"Please, excuse me! I have to go!" I said.
I ran to the door, and found my bag of groceries. Most of the items in it had spoiled over the course of the hours. "Gah!" I shouted.
I picked it up, and headed out. I went shopping again, and headed home.
I was completely, totally, and inexcuseably late. Hasume had worried about my safety, and was in tears, hugging me tightly. Kazeji was furious with me, most of it coming from hunger, but, he was upset. Hasume cooked dinner, that night. Upon going to bed, many thoughts were running through my head. All involving the Bone-Eater's Well, and what might happen if I jumped into it...
Well? What do you think? Please review!
