Song of Death
This is my first attempt at a fanfiction story, but any comments/ suggestions would really help and be completely appreciated(even negative ones :p)! I'm really excited so here it goes
By the way, I own nothing! Except Kirie and her mother.
Chapter 1:
I sit at my desk listening to my iPod in angry silence. I really can't believe my mum is doing this to me! Yeah, I did disobey her and go to the concert, but honestly! I had already accepted the gig when she told me it was fine, then fucking two days before the concert she decides that my band plays 'devil music' and the only way I could go was if I sang church hymns… no thank you.
Now she's sending me to Japan where I'll have to help out at a relative's shrine, a very distant relative who I've never met before to make things better! God this is gonna suck!
~Two Days Later~
My mum walks me to security and hands me my ticket, "I'm sorry honey, but you've been in a rebellious phase for far too long. Not only do you frequently disobey me, but you're disrespectful, came home with tattoos and piercings, you listen to that trash, and now you're trying to make a living out of singing in a trash making band!"
"I really hope you're listening to yourself right now," I say angrily. "I'll see you in two months when I get out of the hellhole you're sending me to, bye." I start walking to the first kiosk that will check my ticket, and then I turn around quickly. "Mum," I call out. My mum turns and I can see tears in her eyes and immediately feel bad. "I love you," I tell her.
She smiles softly, "I love you too hon." I then hug her and make it through security with no big hassle.
I've made it a point to, no matter how angry I am, I always will say goodbye to my mom or any relative by giving them a hug and telling them I love them, because if, God forbid, anything were to happen, I really wouldn't want to leave on a foul note.
After security, I go to try to find my terminal, and I have to end up asking for help. I'm somewhat directionally challenged, so I get lost often.
There's about a two hour wait before my plane starts to board, so I read to pass the time. The time passes quickly, and before I know it, I'm seated on the plane for the 9 and a half hour flight from Sydney, Australia to Tokyo. I finish the 400 page book on the flight, and then I decide to get some sleep.
The flight attendants wake me up when they tell us that we will be landing shortly. The plane lands, and everyone is in a rush to get off, so I wait for the crowd to mostly disperse before grabbing my carry on and guitar case and start to walk off the plane.
I get the rest of my bags from the baggage claim and then walk over to meet my distant relatives. My aunt, I'll call her that for the purposes of keeping time, brought her daughter, Kagome, and they have a sign with my name written on it.
"So you're my relatives," I say, my Australian accent sounding thicker than usual since I just woke up.
"Umm, can you repeat that in Japanese?" my aunt asks me in Japanese.
"Yeah, sorry, I forgot," I say sheepishly. "I'm Kirie."
"Do you play the guitar?" Kagome asks me suddenly.
"Yeah," I smile, "I was in a band at home, which was one of the reasons mom sent me here."
We make small talk about our interests and other things on the car ride; I learn that she's around a year younger than me at fifteen. At one point, she asks me if I would sing a song for her, and I agree in a heartbeat. Music is my life. I sing an acoustic version of one of my band's earlier songs, while playing the acoustic guitar my mom let me bring. At the end of the song Kagome laughs and applauds.
"Wow, you're really good," she tells me.
I blush slightly, "Thanks."
We get to the shrine, and they leave waste no time in showing me around; first they show me the really large tree on their property and then they show me the well. I walk down the creaky steps and pear into the well curiously and see something twinkling at the bottom.
"Did one of you lose an earring?" I ask suddenly.
"Yeah," Kagome says, "why?"
"I found it," I reply, "I got this." I jump over the edge of the well, not worried because ive trained in martial arts since I was like 5, and I'm sixteen now. I fall and suddenly, the world seems to look a lot like space. "Great," I mumble, "I must've been really tired."
The bottom of the well then comes back into my vision and I land on my feet. I then start to look around, and Ah-Hah! Found it!
"Oi! Kagome!" I yell. "I found your earring!"
There was no reply.
"That's a bit rude," I mumble, and then I use the vines on the side of the well to climb up. Funny, I think, I don't remember these vines being here. "Hey, Lassie!" I yell to no one in particular. "Kirie IS stuck in a well!"
"Who're you calling Lassie?" I hear a male voice growl irritably. I look up from around a foot away from the top of the well and almost fall down in surprise.
"Jesus!" I yell, "You almost made me fall!"
"I just called down to you, stupid woman," the strange looking boy yells. "Where's Kagome? And who're you?"
"Kagome was here? I know her, she's a distant relative of mine," I tell him and then hop over the top of the well.
I study the boy closer when he 'hmph's' and decide he must be some sort of cosplayer. It's the only way I can explain the weird, but adorable, dog ears on his head. He also has long silver hair and golden eyes, and that can't be natural I decide.
A faint light shines from the bottom of the well and I hear Kagome's voice call, "Kirie, are you here?"
"Yeah," I shout down to her. She climbs up the wall and then hugs me tight.
"I'm so glad you're okay! Oh, Inuyasha… you're here," she says hesitantly.
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" he shouts at her. "You do realize you're late, don't'cha? While you're in your time, I'm her doing nothing while we should be hunting Naraku!"
Kagome looks angrier at every word dog boy says. She finally snaps at him as he finishes his tirade, "SIT BOY!" Inuyasha crashes to the ground. "Sorry about that, Kirie," Kagome smiles at me.
"It's fine," I say truthfully, "you gotta keep your man in line, and I respect that."
Kagome blushes, "He's not my ma-"
"I'm not her man!" Inuyasha yells, interrupting her.
"I'm sorry Lassie, I meant her dog," I snicker. Kagome tries to hide her laughter with a cough. Inuyasha growls at me. "Kagome, please control that animal!" I laugh.
"I'll kill you!" he yells and jumps. Kagome immediately cries those two beautiful words and Inuyasha crashes to the ground from midair.
I laugh, and then remember the issue at hand. "Okay, tell me the truth," I start, "where in the hell are we?"
Bah! Done! That was fun! Please review and give me honest opinions, and I'll try to get a new Chapter as soon as possible!
