Kyoko was fast asleep, when her cell phone rings.
"Ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring."
Over and over again until Kyoko falls out of bed, anime style, trying to answer the phone. "Thump."
"Hello?" She said sleepily. "KYOKO, COME TO THE OFFICE IMMEDIATELY!" the President exclaimed.
"Yes Sir!" So Kyoko quickly got ready and ran faster than she did on the bike. When she finally got to the office, Ren snidely said, "Took you long enough."
Then the president said, "I have a new assignment for both of you," he smiled evilly.
"So what's this about? Where is the script?" asked Ren.
"The assignment is in Kyoto and because of the secrecy surrounding the assignment; the scripts will only be given once you are on site." Kyoko was about to ask what the assignment was about, then the president quickly said. "That is all. You will leave first thing tomorrow morning."
After Ren and Kyoko left the office, Kyoko then exclaimed, "Wait, how am I going to get to Kyoto?" "I'll take you since we have to go the same location anyway. I'll pick you up at 8 am," said Ren.
The Next Day
HONK, HONK!
"I'm coming!" yells Kyoko as she runs out with her suitcase. Ren puts Kyoko's suitcase in the SUV he rented for the trip. Then they drove off to Kyoto.
They drove all day, and while passing through and abandoned village, the SUV's engine starts making a funny sound. Ren stopped the car and popped the hood when the car began to have smoke coming from the under the hood.
TSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.
"Kyoko you call the president and tell him that the car broke down in the middle of nowhere, while call a tow truck to try to get it to a mechanic."
Ren calls for a tow truck but the tow truck operator tells him that he won't be able to get to them until tomorrow morning. In the meantime, Kyoko calls the president to tell him about the situation they are in.
"Kyoko, where are you, the studio in Kyoto is calling me to find out where you are?"
"Sorry sir, but the SUV Ren rented broke down on us in the middle of nowhere and the tow truck won't be able to pick us up until tomorrow."
"Ahh, gee that's too bad. I'll call the studio to tell them the hold up. In the meantime get some rest wherever you are. Bye." CLICK.
"So, what did the president say?" "He just said to get some rest wherever we are."
"Did he say anything about helping us?" "No, he said he would tell the studio about the hold up but when I was about to ask if he could send a car to pick us up, he hung up on me before I could ask." "Well, it's going to be dark soon, why don't we use one of the huts for shelter tonight." So Ren went to look for shelter, while Kyoko went to look for food.
That night, while sitting in front of the fire, Ren and Kyoko felt a chill wind blow threw the hut making the fire flicker and sending a chill of unease threw both Ren and Kyoko.
Then they heard 2 heavy knocks by the entrance of the hut.
When they looked up, they saw an old woman wearing the clothes of a priestess from the past. Her face was lined with passage of time and her silver hair was streaked with black.
"What are you doing staying in this abandoned village? It's the night of the full moon and this place is cursed. If you know what's good for you, you will leave immediately."
"I'm sorry but our SUV broke down and we have no where else to go," Kyoko said.
"It's too dangerous for you to be here; don't you know the legend of the hanyo and his priestess?" "Isn't that the story of the half demon Inuyasha and Lady Kikyo?"
"So you don't know the story of Inuyasha and his true love Lady Kagome?" the ancient woman said.
"As you already know the story of Inuyasha and Kikyo, this story takes place after Lady Kikyo dies. Kagome was the reincarnation of Kikyo. Kagome was forced down the Well of Souls by a demon that was trying to take the Shikon Jewel which was inside of Kagome since her birth. When she emerged from the well with the demon, unbeknownst to her, Kagome found herself in the very distant past. While fleeing from the demon who was trying to take the Jewel, she found the half demon Inuyasha on a tree with an arrow stuck to him. She freed Inuyasha who then saved her. Later, another demon stole the Shikon Jewel from within Kagome. While the demon was trying to flee with the Jewel, Kagome used an arrow to try to take the jewel from the demon and instead fragmented the Jewel in thousands of pieces which scattered all over the place. Inuyasha and Kagome journeyed all over the place with a band of friends which they made while journeying to recover the shards. During the journey Inuyasha and Kagome eventually fell in love. After a perilous battle and after destroying the Shikon Jewel, Inuyasha and Kagome were eventually wed. They lived in this village, until one day, a young monk passing through the village fell in love with Kagome. His name was Hitaru. Hitaru thought that Kagome was enslaved to Inuyasha. So at the meal before he left, he slipped something into Kagome's drink which made it look like Kagome had died. Inuyasha, who was very suspicious of the young monk, knew that Hitaru had "killed" his beloved mate. So he killed the monk in a desperate battle to avenge Kagome's death. When the battle was over, he went over to Kagome's side and used his own blade to kill himself so that he could be with her in death. As soon as Inuyasha died, Kagome woke up from her death sleep and seeing her beloved, dead, she decided to live on for her and her beloved and wandered the earth waiting for the return of her beloved mate."
"How horrible," said Kyoko as tears came to her eyes, while Ren sat quietly thinking of the story that was told. "What happened to Kagome? Did she eventually die?"
"No one knows, however the village is said to be haunted by the spirits of this story. On the night of the full moon it is said that travelers may pass through a portal to this distant past. That is why it's dangerous for you to be here. You may stay here tonight, but do not leave this hut," the ancient woman said quietly while leaving the hut in the sudden mist.
"Wait, where are you going?" said Kyoko. When Kyoko looked again, the ancient woman was gone as if she had never been there.
Kyoko, hoping to catch up to the old priestess, ran after her into the mysterious mist.
"KYOKO, WAIT! THE OLD WOMAN SAID TO STAY IN THE HUT!" yelled Ren as he ran after Kyoko into the mist.
