-1Okay people I've had this story stuck in my head for like ever now…or maybe a few days…but still just because I'm in the middle of a few other fanfics doesn't mean you can get mad at me for doing another. (cough cough lil1diva cough cough).If the characters seem a little OOC its either because I don't know enough about them or…I completely misinterpreted their personalities, so please don't get mad at me…TT

The airplane glided through the pitch black winter sky. Everyone on the plane seemed to have fallen asleep, as the stewardess had noticed. Except for one girl. She was American, flying all the way from new Hampshire to Japan. This has been such a long trip, I'm even ready to sleep on the wing if it meant I could get some sleep. none of the less the stewardess wearily made her way to the girl.
"Miss, if you like I could get you a pillow or a blanket if your uncomfortable, I'm sure you must be tired from this trip." The stewardess smiled as best she could without yawning and waited for the girls reply.
None came.
The tired woman blinked "Miss, did you hear me?"
She blinked again as she saw the girl look up at her with an pained yet apologetic frown. She nodded her head indicating that she heard.
Oooooooh, this must be the little mute girl my friend was telling me about earlier.
'"Shall I get you a pillow then miss?" the woman said a little kinder. After all if rumors were true the girl had not been born mute.
The girl shook her head, her bangs falling further in front of her face. The stewardess could have sworn she saw dark circles under the girls eyes but her overgrown bangs did a good job of hiding most of her face.
"Very well.." the stewardess walked away, cant helping but pitying the poor girl.
Kori's POV
The plane had finally landed in Japan. Once again I was being transferred place to place supposedly to recuperate from my own past. I knew the real reason though. My foster families all hated me after some time of being with them. Calling me ungrateful after taking care of me and putting a roof over my head I wont even mutter a word of thanks or gratitude. But I was grateful, I was happy that people would even try to help me someone who doesn't even disserve to be acknowledged as a human being. Or so my father says.
In result im constantly being pushed around by the government. Glancing at the burly agent next to me, or my escort they told me he was. He was definitely the type who could hit hard but run slow.
I looked around the crowded sidewalks of Osaka Japan. Maybe now was my chance.
If I can somehow get away from this agent, then maybe I can finally disappear from this world…like mother…and father wanted me too.
At the next crosswalk I stood calmly with the other people waiting for their time to cross. I prayed silently that my plan would work.
The sign showed that it was safe to walk now and the crowd pulled forward but I hesitated. I watched as the crowd had made its way about half the street.
The agent looked puzzled. "Miss its okay to walk now."
I waited still until the crowd was three quarters of the way across.
I took off, sprinting as hard as I could even when passing the rest of the crowd. I heard the agent calling my name surprised. I also heard his fancy black shoes stomp on the pavement as he tried to keep up with me. I had never run faster in my life.
Keep going, no matter what keep running! I screamed to myself as I turned in an alley. Twisting through the maze of alleys I ran past local hobos giving me funny looks and gang members watching me interested as I sped away from all of them. (Who would have thought the Osakan city would have so many alleys…)
My lungs gasping for air, my feet finally gave out on me and I tripped.
Landing on my hands and knees I leaned against a cold cement wall as I caught my breath. Sure the alley walls were disgusting to look at but when you've been running for your life for who knows how long, the refreshing stone felt good against you. For some strange reason I could hear music not too far away. I forgot the fact that I was running away for just a moment, the song was soothing and my breathing became more steady.
"Hey you, what are you doing here?" a harsh voice broke through my peace as I looked up alarmed.
I saw a boy with aqua green hair standing in front of me, he had a waiters apron and looked like he was the type who would need anger management.
"Did you hear me I asked what are you doing here." he said again irritably.
I looked down in shame and tapped my throat hoping he would understand.
"What?" I tapped my throat again, and he seemed to get it after
"Your mute?" I winced at the term he used so lousily and I looked down again, hoping he would leave it at that.
The boy sighed aggravated "Your probably just thirsty. Now answer my questions. So where did you come from, what are you even doing here? Oh that's right you cant answer-"
I had already started running when he started asking questions. No way was I dragging anyone else into this should the government find me. Plus the thought of being in another foster home, even if it was ment to e temporary brought back nasty memories that I just want to forget.
"Wha- get back here! Answer my questions damn it!" I could here the boy calling angrily to me. But I kept running. hey it wasn't the first time I got someone yelling at me.
I thought the boy would just leave me alone after that but I heard gaining footsteps behind me. I quickly looked behind me to see the boy chasing after me, and not to happy about it either. I sprinted with all my might. I was fast certainly but the boy looked a couple years older so his legs were longer. He broke into a sprint as well and his strides quickly caught up with my own.
I took as many turns as I could hoping to lose him in the maze like I did the agent. But al hope of escape drained as I turned into a dead end. I felt all over the wall looking for a foothold or something to keep me moving. I froze when I heard the boy stop just behind me at the entrance of the alley, blocking my way out.
"Okay kid no where else to run, just come with me back to the moonshine or whatever that stupid shop is called so we can figure this out." The way he said it made me think he was half forcing himself to be nice. Probably better that he did since I was scared to death right now.
What really shocked me was that the boy started to transform. Pretty soon I had a demon standing in front of me. After reading so many stories on demons when I was young, I knew that this demon was called a tengu, so it wasn't really scary to me. But when he started to walk towards me I flattened against the wall.
"No more running away brat, your coming back with me to the moonshine so the others can take care of you, because I'm not putting up with you anymore."
I tried to blend into the wall paying to god that no matter where he took me I could escape in some way.
The boy grabbed my arm and leapt into the air. I wasn't particularly afraid of heights but when your floating about 50 feet above the city, you get a little nervous. Not that the view from up there wasn't beautiful, soaring as millions of lights shined up at you. Remembering I was supposed to be trying to get away I started to struggle against the tengu's grip.
"Oi! Do you want me to drop you or something?" His grip tightened on my arm as I squirmed even harder. I must have knocked him off course with the struggling because we were farther away from the city I spotted a river under us as we hovered in the air still struggling. It looked wide enough to land in without the chance of landing on dirt instead. I stopped struggling for a split second to look apologetically at the boy, or tengu in this case. I rapidly lowered my head to his forearm and bit it as gently as I could. It was just enough to surprise him and he dropped me in result.
I'm sorry… I thought as I was sent careening down to earth looking up at the tengu. I closed my eyes waiting for the impact of the water to hit me. I was suddenly suffocated in a freezing cold substance hearing a splash come soon after. I floated in the middle of the water as an impact from my fall. I couldn't breath but for some reason it was the calmest moment I had had in the longest time. But soon I was wrenched away from that calmness by the swirling current. Pulling me down stream but dragging me down at the same time. I was thrown around on several rocks and broken tree branches covering me in small cuts. Finally I was struck once more in the head making my vision spin around me as I desperately reached out to anything to pull myself out of the water. Finally I caught a branch while I heard a crunch from under me. I had reached the bank at last. Pulling myself out of the water I laid there still half submerged from the water but too exhausted to do anything. My cuts stung but my body shook ferociously from the cold air attacking my wet clothes. Everything was going fuzzy because of the blow to my head. I tried my best to stay conscious but it wasn't working. I heard a snap of a twig come from in front of me and I looked up wearily at a shadowed outline standing in front of me. I was quite certain it was the boy and I tried to get up but my legs were as good as dead for the time being.
"…stupid kid…" Was all I heard before I felt myself being lifted up off the ground. A s much as I fought it, the darkness surrounded my vision and I fell into unconsciousness.
