The original plot for 'You're Not Exactly Mercenary Material, Are You?'. Crossed with Winx Club for added drama. Please, enjoy!
My name is Mori. I am fifteen years old.
I have several occupations.
One: I am a warrior. Despite living in a world where an arguement is considered a fight, my father taught me how to fight for real. I have little use for these skills, but, I treasure them.
Two: I am a miko. I have been able to wield super-natural powers since I was very small. And I learned about them when I started seeing spirits in the graveyard. I don't quite care for these powers as much.
Three: I am an adopted daughter/babysitter. My parents died in a fire when I was five years old, and my mother's best friend, Hana Chowa, adopted me. She's a rather unstable woman, very clumsy, and emotional. She'd been through all kinds of hell in her life, particularly around the time she got married. But, she's loving, and kind, and always looking to help with one thing or another.
I would tell you about my school life, and my love life, and my friends... If I had any of that.
I have my Shikigami, Hasume, and that's it on my friends.
The only kind of learning I do is what I learn when I experiment with my battle skills.
As for my love life, well, nothing. I love no one outside of my family, and no one outside my family loves me. Heck, my entire village hates me.
So, you can imagine, the last ten years have been tough for me.
Well, eight of them were tough.
I left the village when I turned thirteen to travel around, and study other battle arts.
I return every so often, just to stay with Hana for a while. But, after a day or two, I'm gone again.
For about three months now, I've been wondering about my spiritual powers.
Mikos, the ones with my kind of power, were thought to have died off, several hundred years ago.
If my powers still existed, who was to say other things from those times didn't still exist?
I began reading books when I had access to a library, looking for anything that pointed toward miko, and houshi of my kind still existing.
What I found, instead, was rather intriguing.
"Hasume-chan, look at this!" I said. "The Bone-Eater's Well. It's said to contain the remains of a thousand youkai, and it still stands today. No location, but, surely we can find it!"
"Okay." Hasume said. "What do you suppose we're feeling for?"
"Youkai." I said. "This'll be a new pressence to us, thus, it will be easy to find!"
"Do you think it'll be here in Tokyo?" Hasume asked.
I shrugged. "Who knows?" I asked. "If you'll head out to the farthest shrines, I'll check the ones here!"
"Alright! Consider it done!" Hasume said.
We headed out, and split up.
The shrines I searched felt normal. Some more pure than others, but, that's to be expected of shrines.
That night, though, Hasume returned, looking hurried.
"There you are!" She said. "I found the shrine! It's got a well, and a strange aura. Only about thirty minutes away!"
"Lead the way!" I said.
Hasume led me to the shrine. There was a weird aura, as she had said.
She led me to the well. I looked into it.
"So, what do you plan to do now?" Hasume asked.
I looked at her, smiling. "Investigate!" I said. "Let's search it!"
I climbed over the edge, and let myself fall into the well.
As I was about to reach the bottom, I saw a light.
I gasped as I fell through the bottom of the well into, what looked like, a tunnel of stars.
"Mori, what is going on?" Hasume exclaimed.
"Trying to figure that out!" I said, loudly.
I saw another light, and fell through it.
I found myself in the well once more.
I sighed, and looked at Hasume. "Are you okay?" I asked.
"Yeah. You?" Hasume asked.
"Yeah." I said.
I noticed the smell of our surroundings. Like a rotting corpse.
"Hasume-chan, did this well smell like this before?" I asked.
"No. I don't think it did." Hasume said.
I started climbing out, and found that the well walls were covered with vines.
"Oh, man!" I said.
I climbed out, and looked around.
The shrine was gone. I was now in a forest, and there were no signs of human civilization anywhere.
"What did you get us into this time?" Hasume asked.
I shook my head. "I don't know." I said.
I started down what looked like a beaten path.
This was a sign that someone had been here.
"Where do you suppose we are?" I asked.
Hasume looked around. "It feels similar to Tokyo." Hasume said. "Not as many human pressences... More animal and plant pressences, and... something else."
I looked around. "Well, I suppose I'll take it as it comes." I said. "If there's a way back, I'll find it eventually. Who knows? Maybe this'll be fun!"
"Oi, oi... You're way too laid back about this!" Hasume said.
"What? You want me to wig out?" I asked.
Hasume sighed. "Fine!" Hasume said. "I'll go along with it! At least you can take care of yourself!"
And so, off we went into the night. Not really sure what we were going to do. We soon discovered, though, that getting along in this new world would be difficult.
We were in a world where everything was primitive, miko and houshi still existed... and youkai dwelt within the forest, waiting for just the right moment to strike...
Okay, this'll be the first cross-over I've ever written that only contains two shows. Once it gets further into the story, anyway. Thanks for reading! Please, review!
