Disclaimer:I do not own InuYasha or any of it's characters. Even the Kururugi twins aren't mine, though I've changed their appearances and personalities from what they were in the game, the same with Utsugi. Also, MOST of the storyline is just a written version of the game's layout, but I HAVE done some tweaking, which includes adding scenes which never appeared in the game.
"What!"Amane turned to her friend, a shocked look on her face. "Are you sure they're going steady!"
Kururugi Amane was sixteen years old, a first year at Tomoeda High School. She had bright blue eyes, and black hair down to her mid-back, with a dyed streak of blue framing either side of her face. Today, her hair was tied up in a ponytail, and she wore a pair of black jeans and a dark blue denim jacket over a black t-shirt.
"Y'mean you didn't know?"her friend asked. "Honestly, I've never seen anyone as clued out as you about stuff like this Amane!"
Amane looked down. "It's just... they're still only first years."
"Get a grip, wouldja? Already first years is more like it. A lot of girls our age have boyfriends already. Like Yuka...and Takaisan...then there's Reiko...oh, and Tomo-chan!"
"Even Tomo-chan!"Amane shouted, getting the attention of everyone on the bus.
"Would you cut it out, you're making a total scene!"her friend hissed.
Amane sighed. "Wow... What a shock. And here I thought I was Tomo-chan's good friend."
"She probably didn't want to hurt your feelings."
"Huh?"
"Y'know,"Amane's friend got a sly look on her face. "You don't have a guy yet."
Amane's face turned bright red and she stared straight down at the ground. Her friend laughed. "You sure blush easily, Amane!"
"Next stop, Kururugi Shrine. Kururugi Shrine."
Amane jumped to her feet as the bus halted, then ran down the stairs and toward the large stone staircase to the shrine. She wasn't surprised to see a large crowd gathered at the shrine. She ran immediately to one of the booths, and took a moment to catch her breath before bowing low to the man behind the booth.
"I'm sorry I'm late dad! The movie ran later than we thought!"
Her father placed his hands on his hips. "You know this is the Doll Festival of Wishes."
Amane winced at her father's tone. "I know, I'm sorry. I'll go change now."
"No, wait. I can handle things here. Could you go to the storehouse and get me some more talismans?"
Amane smiled. "Sure. No problem."
Amane squeezed through the crowd, stopping momentarily to catch her breath once she reached the shrine. A hand suddenly reached over her shoulder from behind and slammed into the shrine in front of her, causing her to scream and whip around. The boy had the same bright blue eyes as her, with short, black hair. He wore a pair of faded denim jeans and a black t-shirt.
"Akito, you jerk!"screamed Amane as the boy started laughing.
"Sorry, sis! Couldn't help it!"Akito managed to choke out between laughs.
Amane sighed and tried to regain her composure. "Come to the storehouse with me. Dad wants me to get more talismans, and I think they're on a higher shelf than I can reach."
Akito followed his sister to the storehouse, shoving his hands in his pockets as he watched her pull the door open. Amane went to step inside, but was bumped aside as Akito stepped in before her. She angrily watched as her brother stepped further into the storehouse.
"Woah!"exclaimed Akito as his foot sank through the floor.
"Akito!"exclaimed Amane, running forward and grabbing her brother's shoulder. "Are you alright?"
Akito grunted as he tried to pull his foot out. "Man, the floor's totally rotten. We should have dad fix it later."
As he yanked his foot free, the entire floor collapsed beneath them, and the two screamed as they plummeted into a void of blue light...
