A woman hit her child on the head and scolded him, "You know the stories! You could have been killed! Now never go near that cave again, understood?"
"Yeah, yeah. I know but..."
"No buts! Now go finish what you we're supposed to be doing and bring back some firewood!" He rolled his eyes as he left his house. Everyone in that small village knew the story of the cave. It had happened only three years ago, so even he remembered the event. He looked up from the firewood. The cave was so close... His curiosity was driving him insane. He quickly looked around and set the firewood down gently, then made a mad dash toward the cave. He dove in and, as a precaution, sat ridged until he deemed it safe. He got up, dusted himself off, and looked around. It was very dark and very large.
He cursed under his breath. "What a waste. I should've brought a lantern." He turned to leave when something caught his eye. He spun back around to discover what he had hoped to find. He stared at it and flashed back to what had happened three years ago...
As he had understood, a demon that was the last of its kind(which had all been very vicious and evil demons) had been sealed to this cave. And it could only be awakened by the descendents of the people who had sealed it.
He swallowed and took a step towards it. Something pulsed, but he ignored it. He walked to the demon and bent down to observe it better. It was a girl who appeared to be in her late teens. He looked at her again and noticed some kind of paper on her head. Being the ever ignorant and curious child, he took it off to better read it. The pulsing was becoming stronger now, but the boy was too distracted by the paper to notice it.
His eyes widened at the realization of what he had done. He was holding in his hands the powerful sutra that had sealed the demon; created by his mother. He stumbled backwards and stared with fearful eyes at the demon.
She opened her eyes and stretched. "Ahhh it feels like I've been sleeping forever!" The demon glanced at the boy and smiled. "So you must've been the one that woke me up. Thanks! I would very much like to know the name of my saviour!"
"K-Keichi." he sputtered.
She giggled. "And my name's Migome! Pleased ta meet-cha!"
Keichi looked at her dumbfounded. Where was the vicious demon who would reak havoc to the world if unsealed?
"Hey could you do me a favor?" Migome said, standing up.
"S-Sure, what?"
"Keep this our lil secret, so as not to cause a panic, ok?"
"Definitely!"
"Thanks again! Oh, one more thing! Do you know when the next full moon is?"
"Tonight?" He said, confused.
"Great!" She giggled again. "Today's my lucky day!"
