Chapter Two: "Where am I?"
I woke up in a hospital room. Shocked, I tried to sit up. But a shooting pain quickly cut that idea short. My hand jumped to my head where it found bandages. I laid my head on the pillow and tried to calm myself down.
"Calm down Cady. It's fine. You're ok… Right? Ok. Let's think this through. Let's be rational for a few seconds here… They took me to the hospital because… I've gone crazy… Crap…"
My legs were itching to be up and about, which made me wonder how long I had been lying down. I decided that my head probably wouldn't hurt if I got up slowly, so I pulled off the blanket. Instead of being in my PE uniform I was wearing a new outfit.
It looked almost like a robe, but not quite. It was almost all white, except for the blood stains that appeared to be all over it. The strange part was that this didn't bother me. I also had a strange medallion on a chain around my neck. It was made from jade and crystal that shone when I put it into the light coming from the window.
I swung my legs over the side of the bed only to find that they were bandaged as well, and blood was seeping through the bandages. What the hell happened to me?
Just then the door opened and a woman came in carrying a tray full of food. Once I saw this my stomach let loose a low growl. The woman lay the tray down on the bedside table and remarked "Hahaha, sleeping beauty is hungry I see."
She handed me a piece of sushi and I instantly popped it into my mouth. I had never tried sushi before but I liked it. As I was finishing my third piece of sushi the woman began asking me questions that I didn't quite understand.
The dialogue was something like this:
"What academy did you graduate from, Hun?"
"Academy?"
"Oh, sorry. You mustn't have attended one."
"Not that I can remember."
"Are you a rogue?
"A rogue what??"
"What village are you from, Hun?"
"Village? Ma'm I have no clue what you're talking about…"
The woman eventually gave up her questions and instead began writing notes on her clip board. I noticed that she was pregnant and decided that she was just a 'crazy preggy woman' who didn't know what she was asking me.
Eventually the woman left me alone to explore my room…. It was stark white. Not much to look at… That's when I noticed my bag lying on the floor. There was a strange bulge poking out of it.
I know it's strange that my bag was randomly there but I was too curious to realize this. I pulled it up onto my lap and started to undo the clasp. I reached inside and immediately pulled my hand back out.
I looked around and dumped the contents of my bag onto my lap. The last thing to come tumbling out was a sword. I gasped. It was beautifully made. The handle was blood red. The scabbard was black with red designs depicting the goddess Amaterasu. "Cool! Japanese legend sword?" I stuffed it back into my bag and began to search through the other stuff that had fallen out. Cd's, a CD player, some paper, a sketch pad, and a notebook were the only things I recognized. A few other things looked like weapons. But I disregarded those and stuffed everything back into my bag.
Just then the woman popped her head back in and announced someone was here to see me. I looked at her questioningly but she just ushered in some guy… Some super-fine guy to be exact. He was blonde with a cute crooked smile. His clothes were weird though. He sort of reminded me of Volkner from the pokemon platinum game…. Only more ninja like…… ANYWAY, The guy walked in and strted examining me.
"Uh, excuse me?" I managed. He looked up, "Yes cady-chan?" I blinked,"How did you know my----" "It was written on your sword. In kanji on the blade." Oh, was all I could think. Eventually he sat down. He kept his eyes locked on mine as if he were studying me. The the door flew open and this weird girl came barging in.
"Ah, Rin! So what did they say?"
Rin smiled, "Obito's family will let her stay with them, sensei."
The man smiled and turned to me," Well. Do you feel up to leaving now?"
I smiled uncertainly, "I guess so…"
And then my adventures really started…
