Healing World

Kag X Balmung

Ch.1 – Grand Entrance

Kagome wakes to find herself in a deep cave with torches lining different pathways. She finds her bow and a staff identical to Miroku's next to her in a puddle of muddy water. As she picked them up a monster appeared. It charged at her with a monsterous battle axe. As she aimed her bow at the creature many smaller ones popped up, grabbing her and pinning her down. She shut her eyes for the inevitable blow, but it never came. "If you cannot fight properly you should not be here." A deep voice reached her ears. Looking up she witnessed a man with long blonde hair and blue eyes in white armor and a feathered cape slash the giant oni-creature to pieces. In a split second the smaller monsters were gone and the man was helping her up. "You should train in fields, not dungeons."

"Thanks, but I don't even know what this is."

"This is The World. How could you not know what game you're playing?"

"Sis!" A young swordsman runs over. "I can't believe they dropped you here!" He hugs the confused girl."

"…Do I know you?"

"Kagome! Its me! Souta!"

"…Then why do you look like that?"

"Kagome you came back through the well. We found you there with your bow and Miroku's staff. We brought you to the hospital but you were broken. They have you hooked to this game because they're keeping you in a coma until you can heal. I thought you'd like it better here because we can hang out."

"…so this is a game world… these monsters aren't real…"

"They're real enough." The man who saved her intervenes. "This game is very real while you're here. I find you interesting in your condition. I will help train you."

"I've heard of you!" Souta points at him. "You're Balmung of the Azure Sky!"

"Indeed. I will find you for training soon." He nods to Kagome before disappearing.

"Wow Sis! He's a walking legend! This is gonna be so cool!"
