Tinashee: The Lost Soul

Chapter 1: The Lost Soul

Chapter 1: The Lost Soul

It was an early morning, Tinashee awoke in a daze. She is a 13 year old girl laying in the middle of a field surrounded by tall grass. Her head was spinning, she couldn't remember what happened before she was knocked out. Only thing she could recall is her seeing a face she couldn't remember the name. She was thinking so hard to try and remember what happened to her. She sat up, her head throbbing in frustration. She was covered in dirt and blood, mostly in her left side. She couldn't feel any pain while she sat there, her head hurt to much. 'What is going on?' She thought. She was scared at the thought of loosing her memory. She couldn't remember who her parents were or where she came from. She started to stand up and look around when the pain in her side started to sting. She quickly got up but there was nothing, just tall grass around. 'Was I attacked by a demon and dropped here?'

She wobbled over to the trees and held the trunk of the tree to catch her balanced. It was like she had forgotten how to walk. She pushed herself off the tree to catch the next almost tripping over her feet. 'Its going to take a while to get anywhere.' She frowned. She pushed off again to reach the next tree but missed and fell to the ground barely touching the roots of the tree. She was dizzy this time picking herself off the ground and grabbing hold of the tree. She was too dizzy to walk but kept pushing forward. She passed out before she could make another step.

She woke with the touch of hands around her shoulders. She peeked out barely seeing a boy lift her and straddle her on his horse laying face down against its mane. Still dizzy, she fought to stay awake peeking to see trees pass. 'I have to do something.' She thought as she tried to move her hand but it wouldn't budge she was so weak. She barely managed to lift her arm when if flopped back down and she passed out again using all her energy just to lift her arm.

'What am I doing?' The boy thought as he held tight to the reins of the horse. He looked back at the girl. 'I don't even have a home for me and I am bringing her with me. What if she wakes and is freaked out to see a 14 year old boy next to her under a tree?' he thought as him and the horse walked in the sunset. 'I can't just leave her, she looks terrible like she was in war.'

He walked with the horse into the night and waited for the girl he had picked up to wake up. He came to a stop at a village and sneaked into an abandoned shrine. He kneeled in front of the buda statue. 'If I may use your shrine to stay the night I would be grateful.' he prayed. He got back to the girl on the horse and saw she was not peaceful in her daze. He stared at the girls features she was beautiful. He pulled her black hair out of her face and stared as though he was trying to read her mind. He was so lost he couldn't tell he was almost touching her lips. He pulled back and blushed. Luckily she wasn't awake. He tethered the horse to a nearby tree and carried her to the shrine and lay her down and noticed the bad wound on her side. He wrapped her in his only blanket. 'I hope she is okay.' was his last thought as he yawned and closed his eyes to sleep.

Tinashee woke to the song of birds chirping in the morning. She lay there not opening her eyes. She felt like she had great sleep. She felt the blanket on her and covered her arm better to comfort herself. 'Wait!' she jolted up and saw the buda statue. 'Oh no. Where am I?' She felt the pain in her side rise again. 'I need to get out of here.' She pushed the blanket off her and looked out to see if anyone was there. All she saw was a horse. 'The horse that I was on. Now where is the boy?' She reached for the door when she almost tripped over the boy laying next the buda as he stretched his legs out. She stopped and stared, she felt like she was drown to him for some reason. She quickly opened the door as quiet as she could, and closed it. She panicked and thought hard as her headache came back. She ran down the steps and ran until her knees buckled and she couldn't run anymore. She pulled herself behind the tree and felt the pain in her side, and applied pressure to ease the pain. She didn't know how bad it was since she hadn't looked at it yet. When she heard the door to the shrine open.

"Hello?" He yelled. Tinashee stood still but the pain from her side and head made her hurt. 'I need to get away.' She thought as she pulled herself up against the tree. She wobbled again tree to tree. Twigs crunched under her and made her move faster. The boy heard the noise and looked to the left to she the girl weakly run tree to tree. He ran towards her but she went faster but her legs had enough they gave out and she fell on her back. She heard the footsteps of the boy as he came to her rescue.

"I'm not going to hurt you." He said lifting her up and cradling her back to the shrine. 'She had made it far from the shrine with such injuries.' He thought looking at the blood stain on her side. Tinashee looked at the boy and saw the kindness.

"Wh- Who are you?" She finally spoke.

"I'm Rei, you need to rest more." Tinashee froze at his stern words that was like a knife in her chest.

"No l-let me go. I need to find out what happened." She said as she tried to wiggle free but her injury on her side made her yelp in pain. And she didn't really want to get out of his safe arms.

"Stop I can help you. Your in much pain." He said reaching the steps of the shrine. 'What am I going to do? She obviously doesn't want to stay but she is in much pain and if she keeps going she will die... I can't let her die, not on my hands.' He lay her on the ground where she was sleeping and pulled the blanket over her.

She stared at his brown eyes and saw the same thing she saw earlier. She already felt safe with him and his blanket felt like his arms. She thought relaxing in his blanket. She wasn't tired enough to sleep. She saw him sit against the wall and stared at his fingers.

"Where are you from?" He said ending the silence.

"I don't know." She said thinking hard.

"Oh come one you can tell me." He teased.

"I'm sorry but I really don't remember. I just woke up in a field without a clue of what happened and where or what my family look like."

'That can't be possible? That is horrible.' Rei thought.

"No I'm sorry I can't imagine not knowing a single thing of what happened."

"Why did you pick me up? Why did you help me?" Tinashee said.

"I felt like I needed too."

"Well I was so badly injured without a slightest clue of what happened." She said sinking in the words he said.

"I never got your name?"

"Tinashee." She said.

"I like that name, I am going to go get you herds from the village nearby I won't be long. Please don't leave, give me your word."

"I promise I wont leave." She giggled. He stood up and closed the doors to the shrine. She felt the safety of the shrine deflate as he walked away from the shrine. Tinashee sat up wrapped in the blanket and unwrapped her kimono to look at her left side. She saw the large cut that was covered with blood. She wrapped her kimono back around her waist and stood up letting the blanket fall around her. She felt naked without it and wrapped it back around her. She walked out of the shrine and walked the way she was running when she was trying to escape, she remembered she heard a little stream that way. There it was, she kneeled down and ripped the bottom of her kimono and soaked it. She unwrapped her kimono and rubbed the cloth on her wound to wash the blood. It stung at first then felt soothing after a while. She washed the cloth and soaked her wound again. She did it once more and wrapped her kimono back and walked back to the shrine. She felt somewhat better now that her wound was clean, but her kimono was blood stained still. She lay back down and wrapped herself in his blanket. 'I'll wait for him to return.'

'Why do I have this feeling around her?.' Rei thought as he walked through the trees. 'I also hope she trusts me.' He approached the village to a hut next to stairs to another shrine. He walked up to the hut to she the old woman handing herbs to a weirdly dressed woman.

"Lady Kaede!" He yelled as she finished with the woman.

"Rei!" She yelled back at the sight of him. "How are ye?"

"I'm fine who was that woman?"

"She be just a Priestess, what have ye come to me for?"

"I found a young girl badly injured and she can't remember how she got wounded. I was hoping you could help me care for her, she is in a lot of pain."

"Of course I will, let me gather herbs then I shall follow ye." She walked back in the hut and came back with a basket full of plants. "Lets go." Rei and Kaede walked through the roads and back into the trees until the shrine came into view. They walked in to see Tinashee laying asleep in the blanket.

"Will ye help me bring her back to my hut, I'm afraid she is badly hurt." She sighed, but right before taking her eyes off her she felt something, a light. 'She has a bright heart, what has happened to this poor girl?'

Kaede and Rei watched Tinashee sleep on the floor of Kaede's hut.

"I will apply bandages but I need to ask ye to leave while I bandage her." Kaede said.

"Of course." He said as he started to stand. Kaede grabbed his arm and looked into his eyes. "This girl has seen death though she can't remember, her heart can. But there is also light in this young woman. She is very unique, Where did ye say ye found her?" She questioned.

"I found her near the east fields."

"Did ye, I think this girl is a Priestess, a very powerful Priestess." Kaede said as he let go of Rei and watched him leave. She unwrapped her bandages and looked at her injury. She was surprised to see it all washed up. 'She must've cleaned herself before falling asleep.' She thought. 'Such a clever girl. She needs to meet Kagome.' She bandaged the wound and wrapped her kimono when she left the hut to let her sleep.

She came back out washing her hands with a cloth and saw Rei sitting against the hut.

"I think she came from the north by Mount Hakurei, its the only explanation. Their are powerful Priestess there and I think she born one of them. Even my sister is out by there, but when Mount Hakurei got destroyed she was taken by one of the demons feasting but because of her enormous amount of energy she turned the demon into ash but fell from a great height. She hit her head and it might take some time before her memory is restored." Kaede said. Rei soaked in all she said. "Rei, you must protect her and teach her to fight. Head toward the west, until you meet with a half-demon named Inuyasha with that Priestess I was with earlier. She is very powerful Rei so be careful, she could have a hard time controlling it. Try not to get her emotions too tangled."

"Ok, thank you Lady Kaede." Rei said as he stood up and walked into the hut.

'What am I going to do now?' Rei thought sitting against the wall. 'She is super powerful yet she doesn't know it.' He was thinking hard about what he should do to train her, teach her to be a Priestess, he knew some but it wasn't much. "Try not to get her emotions too tangled." He replayed Kaede's words over and over in his head. 'What does that mean? Does Kaede think I love this girl? I've only just met her and she had tried to get away from me.' He thought lost in his concentration. 'What if I do like her? Would she like me back?' He realized. Rei lay his head and watched Tinashee sleep. 'I do like her, doesn't matter if she would like me back.' He fell asleep in that thought.

Hope you liked it!
