Have you ever wondered how it would feel to be alone and then suddenly meet somebody that would change your life forever? Well that is what happened to me. My name is Natari and I am a Hanyou, or a half-breed. I was born in Tokyo, Japan in 1981. It wasn't until my 16 birthday that I had realized I was not fully human. On July 3rd, 1997 my life would never be the same again. It was a beautiful summer day and as woke up it hit me, I was finally sixteen. It was a rewarding day for me, I could finally make some of my own choices and be who I wanted to and not what my parents expected. I was always a smart girl and never had too many friends but I enjoyed to be a rebel, I would try my hardest to go to all of the parties and just have fun. And I also was a very strong girl, in fact the strongest girl in my whole school. Which was partially why I didn't have many friends because most girls feared me. Although the boys wouldn't leave me alone and that is why I took up self-defense, I wanted to save myself for that special kind of person who could make me weak in the knees. As I got up that morning my parents greeted me and I told them I was going to go for a walk. I got my shoes and started walking towards the forest. The forest was so beautiful, I had always felt connected to nature and loved it. I was walking and all of the sudden I fell into a hole. A bright light surrounded me and I was in the same forest but I couldn't hear anything but the birds chirping. Suddenly a cold wind blew by and a huge being appeared. I was frightened but I took a fighting stance. It came towards me and all of the sudden I felt as though my eyes hade burst into flames and I couldn't control my actions. I looked at my hands and I had claws and my whole wardrobe had changed. I was in a black and blue kimono, and my hair had changed from blonde to black. I felt scared and yet I felt powerful, as a I put my hands to my hips I felt something there, it was a sword. I pulled it out and it formed from a small rustic sword to a gigantic blade and is was surrounded by flames. I had always felt like an outcast among and at this moment I had realized that I wasn't like everybody else. I continued walking a found a village with little huts and people who looked like they hadn't bathed. An old lady obviously a priestess of some kind was walking towards me. "You look familiar what is your name child?" she asked. "My name is Natari Sugiyama" I stated. "You bear an awful resemblance to my elder sister Kikyo" she said "My name is Kaede" "Can you tell me where I am please?" I asked. "Why this is Japan, come with me child" she motioned for me to come along. She started to explain to me what happened to her sister Kikyo and she said I was a hanyou, which meant I wasn't fully human. All of the sudden we heard a crash and what sounded to be a young man yelling "YOU OLD BAG WHERE IS IT" he yelled. I immediately when out and I saw a young boy about a year or two older than me and he had silver hair with dog ears and a red kimono on. He looked at me funny and then came charging at me. I dodged him just by a hair "Kikyo, where is it?" he asked. "I am not Kikyo, and what is it you desire?" I asked him "You know damn well what" he shot back, "Now give it to me, I don't want to hurt you" and then he took out a sword which resembled mine. I took mine out as well and waited for him to attack.
