So, I'm writing this because one of my reviewers wanted me too, so here it is: my adaptation of Tim Burton's Coraline!
I do not own InuYasha or Coraline.
We're moving into a place called Dog Demon Apartments today.
I am Kagome Higurashi, I'm seventeen, and I will miss my friends, Eri and Hojo. The day we left, they had our local theater put letters on the sign and the letters read 'Goodbye, Kagome!'. I'll miss those guys too much.
My mother and father run a very successful gardening catalog.
When we arrive, I have on my dark wash skinny jeans with holes in them, a pink turtle-neck long sleeved shirt, and a yellow rain coat, with some purple rain boots on. I just looked like a rainbow today.
On the way there, my mom hit the moving truck. She blames me for it because listening to my music silently in the back seat is so distracting.
When we finally get there, the outside building is silver with black trimming. I saw two old men come out of the basement to see what all the commotion was about outside, or to see the new arrivals.
On the ROOF was some crazy guy doing gymnastics and flips and what not. I almost called someone, but then the old guys didn't look so worried, so I thought that it was regular to see something like that around here.
It didn't take the movers that long to get us in, and once they did, I left through the back door and explored my new home until I graduate. Outside is full of plant life, wonderful because I love gardening.
I walked over to a random bush and pulled out a wish bone shaped twig and tried my hand at finding a really deep well.
The sky overhead was gloomy and looked like it would rain soon. I was humming a song my father used to sing to me, when I felt something looking at me and I heard a noise coming from some rocks above my head.
"Hello?" I called out. "Hello? Who's there?" When no one answered me, I threw a rock where I heard the noise and a black cat with blue eyes popped out.
"You scared me to death you cat!" I sighed at my heart rate slowed down. "I'm looking for a well, heard of it?" The cat nodded its head like it could understand every word I spoke. "So, not giving out any information, are you?" I kept walking and the cat followed.
I got to a clearing in the middle of the road. There was mud everywhere and a circle of mushrooms and some small rocks.
It was quiet until the loud screech of a horn interrupted it. I whipped my head over my right shoulder and there was some mutant THING looking back at me. It had three green eyes with silver hair flowing out of the back. It was on the back tire of a dirt bike, just jumping, until it came racing down the hill at me.
I took the twig and hit the thing with it, and it fell off the bike, but also made me fall down. The thing got back up on a rock and started to analyze me with the three green eyes. A hand was brought up to turn a lever on the side of the face, making the eyes go in a circle to look at me better.
Soon, the hand took off the mask the guy was wearing, and held it under his arm. "So, I take it you're the new kid?" He smirked at me. He had a strong nose and chin, a light tan, not too dark but not too light, and he had the brightest golden eyes I'd ever seen.
"Who are you?"
He jumped off the rock he was perched on and took the stick that had fallen out of my hands and examined it in a black leather gloved hand. "I've never seen water witching done before. You must be from Texas, or some other place where water is scarce."
I was dumbfounded. Did he just blow my question off? "No, I'm from Battle Creek Michigan, thank you." I saw the cat from earlier pop back up next to this dude in front of me. "And I don't like being interrupted by some freaky stalker, or their cat!"
He let out a laugh. "I'm not a stalker. My grandmother owns the apartment you're living in. I'm surprised she let you in. She normally doesn't allow families with kids in. I'm InuYasha by the way." He extended a hand and I looked at it.
"I'm Kagome Higurashi." I didn't take the hand.
He shrugged and put it back down. "So, what are you doing out here, Miss Water Witch?"
I put my hands on my hips. "I am looking for an old well out here." He let out another laugh and I slammed my foot down in the mushroom circle.
He buzzed over to me at inhuman speed and lifted me away from the circle bridal style. "Be careful. The top isn't as sturdy as it should be. If you stomp too hard you could fall in."
"What are you talking about?" He seemed amused.
"You were on top of the well, smart one." I was still in the air by the way. He gently let me down. He dug through the mud and uncovered a part of a wooden top. "See. They say if you were to go all the way to the bottom and look up, you would see stars in the middle of the day." He got a large stick and pried the top open and we looked down inside it. "Don't fall in." He warned me again.
"I think I'm smart enough not to fall in a well." I got back up and he put the lid over it. "Hey, the lid looks like a button." It had four holes in the middle of the circle.
He looked down at it. "I guess it does." He shrugged, and I heard someone call for him.
"What was that? Is someone calling for you?"
He looked nervous. "U-umm, no, I don't hear anything." He turned his back to me. His shirt showed off his muscles well. Either he had a lot of them to show, or that shirt was REALLY tight.
"Oh no, I definitely heard something, InuYasha." I smirked as I let his name run off my tongue.
"InuYasha!" It sounded like an elderly lady.
"Not that it hasn't been nice, Kagome, but I'll see you around." He picked up the dirt bike I made him fall off, and right as he was about to leave, he turned to me. "And you might want to wear gloves the next time you do some water witching."
I rolled my eyes. "And why is that?"
Because that dousing rod you're holding, it's poison oak."
"Gah!" I dropped the stick and rubbed my hands on my yellow rain coat. He laughed as he rode away on his silly little dirt bike.
So, that was the end of the first chapter. This is so much harder than I thought it would be! Doing the Corpse Bride was easy because the romance was in that, but there's no romance between Coraline and Wybe in the movie! None! Anyway, I hope it was okay.
