"Hotaru! Hotaru-chan!"
A girl with platinum blonde hair a little above her shoulders and piercing sky blue eyes looked up at the sound of her name. She was wearing a knee- length navy blue skirt and a white sailor blouse with a red bow and blue flap. She watched as a second girl approached her. This girl had long brown hair in a half-ponytail and light green eyes, wearing the same outfit as the first girl.
The second girl ran up to the blonde-haired girl, panting. "Hotaru-chan..!! I've been looking for you! This part of the Higurashi Shrine is off-limits to us!" she cried, gasping for breath. Hotaru rolled her eyes as a strand of her pale hair fell into her eyes. "So what. Have the rules ever stopped me before Rika?"
Rika sighed heavily and frowned, sticking her hands on her hips. "You never know Hotaru! Rules were made for good reasons!" Hotaru got serious and nodded. "True.they were made to be broken!" she scowled. "Now don't get in my way again Rika!"
Hotaru walked down to a shed, leaving Rika standing by herself. "Ooh that girl makes me so mad!!" Rika fumed, curling her hands into tight fists. She gave a small 'humph' and stormed off to join the rest of the class. Two other girls turned and looked back at Rika as she returned from looking for Hotaru.
"How did it go Rika? Did you find Hotaru??" one girl asked, she had black hair and dark blue eyes. Rika angrily shook her head. "I found her, but she is such a hot head! She wouldn't come back!" she replied in an annoyed voice. The second girl sighed. She had short dark brown hair and brown eyes. "Why are we friends with her anyway? She treats us all like crap and she's such a loner!" Rika frowned sadly and crossed her arms. "I don't know Keiko, I honestly don't know."
**************************************************************************** **
Hotaru entered the shed and looked around. She frowned; it was so dark and she could hardly see where she was going. "Damnit! Stupid spider webs!!" she complained, brushing away some cobwebs she had stepped into. She didn't see the rock in front of her as she stepped forward, and she tripped over it with a yelp. She fell into a well and all of a sudden, a bright blue light swallowed her body. "What the hell?!" she panicked as everything went blurry and then she hit something hard.
Rubbing her bottom, Hotaru stood up and looked around. There were walls all around her; the only way to go was up. She looked skyward and gasped. Where there had once been a roof, now was the sky! It was the same shade as her eyes and white puffy clouds floated lazily in the breeze.
Bringing her gaze back down, she could see a large tree trunk in front of her. "Ohh if my skirt tears I am going to be pissed!" Hotaru grumbled as she started to climb her way up the rough, scratchy trunk. After awhile, she reached the top of the well and jumped over the edge, breathing heavily. "Thank god for gym class," she muttered, making a face. A sudden sound caused her to jump, and she turned around slowly.
A pack of wolves had slowly surrounded her, and every single one of them was growling. Foamy saliva dripped from their fangs and they were in an attack position. Hotaru drew in a sharp breath. "Shit," she whispered. Trying not to move too fast, she inched her way to the left. What appeared to be the pack leader growled and made a lunge at her.
Hotaru dodged quickly, hearing her skirt and blouse rip in the wolf's powerful jaws. She breathed a sigh of relief, and backed up only to run into someone. She froze and turned around, her eyes widening at what she saw. There was a tall man behind her, with long white hair and he glared at her with narrowed yellow eyes. He wore strange clothing and a creamy-white puffy tail sat on his right shoulder. His ears were pointy and he had dark purple-red stripes on both his cheeks, and a crescent moon in the middle of his forehead. His fingers ended in claws and a short human-looking toad stood at his side. The toad carried a staff with a male head and female head. The wolves growled and kept at a safe distance.
"Who-what the hell are you?!" Hotaru cried, clenching her hands into fists. The toad scowled. "Show some respect to Lord Sesshoumaru!!" it cried. Hotaru stared at it, she couldn't decide whether to laugh or punt the damn thing. "So your name is Sesshoumaru..that answers my first question, now, tell me just what the fuck you are!" Hotaru said, narrowing her eyes. "Wench, I told you to show some respect!!" the toad yelled angrily.
Quicker than her eyes could see, the man known as Sesshoumaru grasped Hotaru by her throat and lifted her off the ground. Her eyes widened and her hands flew to his wrists, as she gasped silently for air. Sesshoumaru smirked widely, and his lips parted revealing pearly white teeth. "Foolish human," he sneered. "Your disrespect will be paid-with your life!" He squeezed her throat harder and watched as she struggled.
Tiny beads of sweat dripped down her cheeks and down her neck where Sesshoumaru had an iron grip. *I'm not going to die!* Hotaru thought to herself. *I'm not going to die in this fucking place surrounded by freaks! I won't! NO!*
Sesshoumaru watched in amusement as Hotaru struggled harder. Suddenly, his eyes narrowed to slits. *I'm sensing some strange power within her..what is it?* He frowned. Hotaru started to pry his hands off her throat as she felt a warm sensation in her chest and abdomen. The toad's eyes widened. "M-My Lord!" it squeaked. "This human is displaying great power!" Sesshoumaru growled and snapped his head back to look at the toad. "I KNOW that Jakken!"
*No.I can't die...I can't..*
"NO!!" A bright white light burst from Hotaru's body and radiated around her as her aura glowed black with a dark purple outline. Sesshoumaru grunted and dropped her as the power from her aura singed his flesh. Hot tears stung her eyes as fell to the ground and to her knees. "What-What was that Lord Sesshoumaru?!" Jakken cried, peeking from behind a tree. Sesshoumaru frowned at his injured hand, than down at Hotaru. "I do not know. Let's go before that baka hanyou appears. He rests near here," Sesshoumaru said in a deep voice, turning to leave. Jakken nodded and followed his Lord's suit.
Hotaru watched the two leave and then she stood up shakily. *What the hell happened!? I.I was glowing and it hurt that Sesshoumaru guy..* A loud growl jerked Hotaru out of her thoughts, and she realized she was still surrounded by the wolves.
"Oh perfect.."
