Chapter 1-The Sunrise Shrine
"Fuck"
I had tripped and fallen
down the well. Again. This happened a lot to me so I had installed a
ladder. I looked around. No ladder. Oookay something weird was going
on. "Reno? Are you there?"
I tried calling to my father but I got no response. Stupid ring. I thought I had lost it near the well. I had been looking for it when I fell down the well. I took another look at the well. Vines were growing up the sides and the walls were crack. I smiled. I could easily climb out using the vines but I never did anything the easy way. I started the long climb up the well, using the cracks as hand holds. When I was about three quarters of the way up I heard footsteps. I hurried the rest of the way up the well, desperate to find someone who could tell me what had happened. I climbed over the edge of the well but the footsteps had disappeared.
"Damn."
I looked around. Where my house should have been were bushes and trees. There was no sign of the Sunrise Shrine at all. I noticed that I was in a clearing.
"Probably in a forest."
I headed in the direction that I thought was north. I frowned as the forest became thicker. I thought I heard something behind me. I put my hand on the hilt of my sword.
"Who's there? Come out so I can see you."
I was met with silence. Suddenly a giant serpent appeared. I drew my katana as it lunged at me. I barely managed to dodge to the side. I swung at it as it went past but the impact knocked my sword from my hand. The serpent turned and started coiling itself around me, crushing me slowly. I managed to work my dagger free and started stabbing it to little effect. The serpent gripped tighter, forcing the air from my lungs. As I passed out I saw a figure in red appear.
I woke up
later to the sound of voices
"…found him in the forest."
That was the sound of a young girl.
"What happened?" asked
the voice of an old woman
"I don't
know."
"He is lucky that Inu Yasha was there."
I heard a
door open and a new voice entered the conversation
"How is he
doing?" said a young boy
"He will live thanks to you." said
the old woman.
At this I opened my eyes and winced. The light
seemed so bright I couldn't see anything.
"I didn't need any
help. I was doing fine all by myself."
"Feh." I turned trying to find the source of the sound. I blinked, trying to get my eyes to adjust faster. I sat up but was pushed back down
"You've
been asleep for several hours. It will take a while before they will
work again." said the young girl. I grinned. My eyesight was almost
back to normal.
"Thanks for your concern but I can see fine."
I looked around the room and saw a girl of about 15-16 next to my
bed. By the door were an old lady and a young boy. They were wearing
the strangest clothes I've ever seen. The old lady was wearing the
traditional dress of a miko. The boy was wearing clothes which I had
only seen in ancient scrolls. Then I noticed the dog ears on his
head, turning and twitching. I passed out again.
When I
woke up it was darker. I felt someone wiping sweat off my forehead.
"You don't have to do that you know" I opened my eyes. I
saw the girl from earlier. She looked a bit shocked to see me awake.
I sat up and smiled. She was wearing a school uniform. She had a
pretty face, brilliant blue eyes and shiny black hair. She looked
around the house. She looked around 15 or 16 years old and about 5'
2. I smiled at her
"Who are-?" My question was cut of as my
stomach grumbled. She smiled and handed me a bowl of hot ramen. I
picked up the chopsticks and started ate greedily. About halfway
through the meal I stopped.
"Who are you?"
"I'm Kagome
Higurashi, who are-" I interrupted her
"Who were the people
from earlier? That old woman in the Miko uniform and the guy with the
dog ears?"
"The old woman is Priestess Kaede, leader of this
village. The boy is a dog hanyo called Inu Yasha."
I nodded and
ate a bit more food.
"Who are you? What are you?"
I looked
at her as though she was weird. Why on earth would she ask what I am?
Then I remembered dog boy. I smiled before answering.
"Who I am
is none of your business. What I will tell you is that I am a neko
youkai."
I put my
ramen to the side and stood up. My clothes felt different, softer,
smoother. I looked down to see I was wearing a black silk kimono. I
stared at Kagome.
"When… who?" I stuttered. Luckily she
seemed to understand the question.
"Your clothes got damaged in
the fight. They are being cleaned and fixed for you"
I then
realised that someone had to have taken off my clothes. I glanced at
Kagome.
"Did you take off my clothes?" She nodded blushing.
"Kagome did you?"
She shook her head "No I didn't
look. I left your boxers on"
I was relieved. I tried hard to
find another subject to discuss. After a quick look around I noticed
my weapons were gone.
