When the World Stops

Why?

Why can't I remember anything?

I can't remember…

It hurts so much...

All I can remember… is…

He woke up with a start. His vision was blurry, and he couldn't make out the details that were necessary to know where he was inside. His throat was dry and parched, and his head was throbbing. He couldn't move a muscle at all, and as he lay down onto the dry floor, he just stared at the leaf growing nearby. A memory always came back to him, with a wordless voice, speaking softly. He always hated this memory, as he couldn't remember who it was that spoke. All he could do was wait for the world to stop spinning in his eyes…

She watched as the world passed by and by. She watched as new became old, and the years affecting many. She watched as life created… and destroyed. And she watched, with great curiosity, over the fate of one person who could change many… or die in the attempt…

They looked upon the world, and saw with their own eyes a world that had no control over anything, and many that looked listlessly upon the surface over the world. They had no control over their actions; they had no responsibilities for the things they committed, and they had no emotions toward what they did. They saw, but did not see. But as they watched listlessly over the world, one thought always nagged at them…

What will happen next?

Miroku the monk-in-training is not what he would seem to be in the surface. In the surface, he helps exorcise demons that exist in the world, dubbed youkai by many. In the surface, he helps people with their own troubles and grants peace to the souls that deem worthy. In real life, however…

He is nothing but a troublemaker, without a home or caring parents. He robbed, took and basically fought to earn money and food for survival with his accomplice Mr. 'Hachie' Hachiemon, a nickname because no one really knows who he really is, what with him hiding behind his raccoon mask and raccoon cloak. Basically, Hachie was a fan of raccoons, though to an extent. He wasn't known very much, other than that particular bit of info. Miroku the monk, however, was widely known to the organization, or just namely, gangs. He pillaged and stole, and was a hit (or a pervert) to the ladies. But the one woman he cared most about was….

Sango Hirakoitsu, a famous designer for the 'boomerang-style hirakoitsu weapon' used for destroying the demons that exist in the real world. She doesn't have a home to go to as well, but she lives with her brother Kohaku Hirakoitsu in an abandoned warehouse. But you probably won't ever see Sango with her brother, and it's very likely you won't see her at all. It was all because of that one event…

"Sir! A hanyou is outside of the town. What shall we do with it?"

"Destroy it."

"Sir, yes sir!"

A young girl, or what appeared to be one, was floating in the sky, watching, but not changing. She was floating mindlessly until sheturned upon one particular scene. And then she opened her closed eyes…
