Walks out on to stage, and stands at podium in the centre, looks very nervous Hannah: Erm… Hi, I'm Hannah and this is the first fanfic I've ever posted on the net; though I do have a few rubbish ones saved on my pc. I hope you all enjoy it, and tips and pointers would be very gratefully received. I know it's kind of big headed giving my main character my nickname but it all works out in the end. I hope!
Some one shouts from offstage: C'mon Hannah, get on and do the disclaimer I want to be introduced too you know
Hannah: glares at person offstage Ok, basically if you recognise it I don't own it, also I want to apologise to anyone who recognises part of their plots in this it wasn't intentional I swear!
Thoughts
Chapter 1: Expect the Unexpected
She was walking through the woods, long hair swinging as it threatened to bust out from it's tie. No-body could have said she was ordinary but no one could say she was strange; the only thing people agreed on was that she was unique one way or another. Her long brown hair was tied back in a plait that hung down to her waste and was finished with a large jade clasp than swung as she walked. Jade's green almond shaped eyes were the only hint at her Chinese ancestry and they were scanning the woodland. She wasn't dressed for walking. Jade had done what she normally did on a Saturday morning; chucked on her black jeans and old scruffy trainers, then added a cute t-shirt (today's was black with poison written on with green letters). Also she carried as always her punky fish back pack with her most precious possessions.
Walking along Jade gazed up at the dappled sunlight breaking through the canopy of leaves above. When a flash of white light momentarily blinded her, she had to blink rapidly. Finally when her sight returned Jade glanced around at the surrounding woodland, and then continued with her walk.
Unexpectedly she came across a large deep pool that Jade did not recognise. Slowly she made her way to the waters edge and crouched silently be a large spiky bush. As Jade gazed round at the pools banks, her gaze fell upon a young man sat staring into the deep blue water. Quietly she reached backwards and brought out of her backpack her black sketchbook, which never left her side. Slowly and carefully Jade portrayed the scene before her onto the page. Now Jade's balance isn't brilliant at the best of times. So when she held the drawing out in front of herself, she fell with a clearly audible scream into the mass of spikes. Desperately she thrashed around noisily around, shredding her clothes as she struggled to free herself.
"Hey
hey, calm down!" a masculine voice broke through the barrier of
pain clouding her common sense. Looking up she came face to face with
the handsome youth from across the pool. She grasped the outstretched
hand and he pulled her up from the bush.
"Thanks, …" Jade
smiled then faulted when she realised she didn't know her saviours
name.
"Kouji" he supplied for her.
"Jade" she
answered.
A light blush rose to her cheeks as she noticed the
state of her clothes. Kouji was now scratching the back of his head
embarrassedly.
"Well…
I better be off now, da guys are gonna be looking for me"
"Erm...
Kouji, could you please just tell me where I am first?"
"What?
You dunno that you're on Ligé-San Mountain!"
"Where
the hell am I? I've never heard of Ligé-San Mountain."
Kouji
just stood there and stared at her in disbelief. Jade then showed her
worst habit. She began muttering to herself. "O great, I'm lost
on some mountain that I've never heard of. With only the supplies
in my backpack to live on. But this couldn't possible be worse than
what happened before. So now I'll just have to sit around till the
wolves eat me or I die of starvation and or cold."
Every so often Jade did this, she was always hiding her emotions, bottling them up so no one could see when she was hurt or sad. So she broke down into fits of rage and depression till some one snapped her out of it. Hannah: You needed to know that but we'll get back to the story now. Suddenly she collapsed, and fell to the floor exhausted; but before she reached the hard earth Kouji caught her. Puzzled, he looked down on the girl and decided to take her back to the fortress. Bridal style he lifted her up and walked off.
Jade awoke blinking in the sunlight streaming into her room. What happened? Memories of the afternoon before flooded back to her. O god, I didn't collapse again did I? Slowly Jade propped herself up on her elbows and studied the room. Just as she was getting her bearings, Kouji burst through the door.
"Mornin'" was the greeting Jade got as the blue eyed bandit placed down the breakfast tray. Wow she's cute! No must concentrate on getting rid of her before Genrou gets back
"Morning."
She replied shyly but cheerfully as she eyed the bandit thoughtfully,
I really should thank him for bringing me here "Sorry for
collapsing on you like that and thanks for bringing me here" where
ever here is…
"No problem really" Kouji answered "I
think you should breakfast in 'ere though coz da guys would find a
girl breakfasting wiv us rather…. entertainin'"
Jade smiled
back as a way of an answer. Kouji couldn't help but return the grin
it was rather infectious.
Kouji perched himself comfortably on the end on the bed and watched Jade as she devoured the meal set out in front of her. When she glanced up she gave him a funny look for staring but he didn't notice. When Kouji finally came out of his thoughts he realised Jade had snuck off.
