Hey everyone! This is my first ever fanfic. It's based on an awesome game called Mushihimesama (aka Bug Princess) a shmup for the ios, ps2, and 360. Sadly, the ps2 and 360 versions are Japan only, but the sequel Futari is region free (both games are available on ios under the title Bug Princess). Anyway, this story is essentially my take on the plot of the first game. However, while I will follow the original plot to an extent, I'll take some creative liberties to tell the story in my own way.

The Mushihimesama
By: snaplocket
In another time and world…
A world that had deserts that stretched across the land,
and gigantic insect-like beasts thrived.
The few remaining humans had to live within the shadows of these great beasts.
These shelled beasts that the humans referred to as… Koju.
Within this world there was a large forest called the Shinju forest which served as a domain for the Koju living there. In a small part of that forest was a human village that Koju allowed to live under one condition. They must sacrifice a specific 15 year-old child to Koju every 200 years. On the night of every sacrifice, numerous shooting stars would fall in sight, resulting in the place being named "Hoshifuri Village". Most of the villagers there vowed to never set foot in the forest, with one exception, an exception in the form of a young girl.
"Oh no, how do I get home?" the little girl asked herself trying to find her name around the forest. It was nighttime and despite some lights given off by some of the Koju, it was heard to recognize exactly where she was. It wasn't her first time walking around but she never went in this deep before. The girl was very small, she appeared to be 6 at the oldest and definitely not old enough to take care of herself. She had purple hair and a red crown with cute red ribbons giving her tiny pigtails, she blue eyes and wore a rather plain looking white dress with the only noteworthy things being the bottom rims being yellow and a large yellow ribbon on the front. She wasn't wearing any footwear but that didn't bother since the ground was soft to begin with.
Along the way she was carrying a small (although pretty big by our world's standards) yellow beetle with blue eyes, most notable thing about it was its long yellow horn. The girl held him in front of her and told him, "This is all your fault Kiniro." Of course, the girl didn't actually mean that, while she was walking through the woods she heard Kiniro crying for help in the distance, she towards the voice and found him drowning in a small pond (he didn't know how to swim), she managed to save him but by that point it was already late and she was well off her usual path. "I'm getting tired, you'll make a decent pillow." After telling him that she set him in a patch a grass and immediately laid down with her head resting top of him. Naturally Kiniro didn't like that and started fidgeting in an attempt to get free. "I need to take a nap." And with that the girl drifted off to sleep.
