"Wait! Yuko, wait for me!" Yumi shouted, trying to catch up to her best friend. Yumi and Yuko had been friends since they were four years old. They had had only one argument, over who would get to keep a frog.
The girls had just graduated from Kohi High School. Now eighteen, they live in a small town, Kohi. Everyone knew everyone else in this cozy town, and news travelled fast.
"Sorry Yumi! You're just too darn slow!" Yuko teased when her friend caught up to her. "So, are you going take your Saturday walks as usual?"
"You bet!" Yumi replied earnestly. "They make me feel refreshed! Why don't you come with me?" she offered.
"How many times must I tell you?" her friend laughed. "My life is on the couch, watching T.V."
"Suit yourself!" Yumi stuck her tongue out at her sedentary friend. "Oh, I have to go home first. Bye!" she waved and walked away.
Once she got home, she went to her room and began preparing for her walk. She packed her shoulder bag with water, granola, and her diary. She glanced in the mirror. Yumi had pitch black hair that ran straight down to her back, like a waterfall, her sister had told her once. Her eyes were a bluish grey and were accompanied with long, dark eyelashes. She usually wore blue jeans, like the ones she wore now, with rips in the knees from constant wear and tear. Her green sports tee was also a normal part of her attire. Once she was sure she looked fine enough to go out, she went out to explore the forest.
As Yumi walked down the main path, she stopped. She felt a strange presence, almost like being watched. She followed it, deeper into the forest, away from the path. As she wandered farther and farther away from the path and deeper and deeper into the forest, she saw an old building, clearly standing out with its straight sides from the diverse branches of the trees. It looked like an abandoned orphanage. It had two levels, dusty, unused glass windows, double front doors, beginning to become wrapped with green ivy's embrace. Overall, it looked extremely old. Faintly, she heard a sound. It was continuous, a song, she realized. Most importantly, it was the song of the children's game-Kagome. Perhaps there were children in there.
Well, if there were children in there, someone had to help them. Perhaps they were stuck, and Kagome was the only song they knew. Maybe they were trying to keep their hopes up. She had to go inside, to make sure they were okay.
She went up stairs that didn't look like they could handle her weight, through hallways that were decaying and rotting, she found a door. It was dark, and ominous. The song was coming from there. She tentatively opened the door, and opening her eyes, she found ten children, all dressed in old kimonos. The kimonos themselves didn't look terribly worn or frayed…but almost like a yukata from a very long time ago. Yumi realized that they were all staring at her, waiting for her to say something. Nervously, she opened her mouth.
"Uh…hello?" her greeting had sounded like a question. She had never been more nervous, but she didn't know why. They were children. She loved children.
"Hello!" they greeted her, smiling happily.

Anyway, silent readers are disliked. Very much. Postive people will get chocolate. Flamers will get…sunburn? I dunno.
