KLS Shinzo Shinobi
My Last Day in Monosapia
The light faded through the heavy sheets that wanted nothing more than to stay shut. The blinds refused to willingly open. These dreary orbs of mine did not back down. Eventually, they opened. The new images blurred together, before clearing into the familiar room that I have spend most of my life in. Stretching, I sat up and looked to my right. There, sitting and viewing me with its mocking stare, was an alarm clock/radio. The numbers erased my hopes of going to school. It was 3:30 in the afternoon. An exhausted and sorrowful sigh escaped my dry, frowning lips. It is not fair. Why can't I wake up earlier? What did I do? I wish that these thoughts were not forced. Why can't I be selfish? Is there something that Pa is preparing me for? If there is, why can't he prepare me in another way? -sigh- Oh well. Might as well see what I can find in the fridge. Getting out of the bed, my hand reaches out and grips a soft, silky cloth. Pulling the robe on, I open the door to see my bedroom door across the hall. I walk out the hall, seeing my mom sleeping in the green armchair. I try to be quiet when going through the gate, but she still wakes.
"Hey, Baby. Did you sleep well?" Mother asked. She sounded like she needed to go back to sleep.
"Mom, do you have to ask? I slept like usual. Speaking of which, why don't ya go to bed. You look tired." My normal reply slipped out. I hate keeping my dreams a secret. However, the only one who would believe me is my grandma. She has helped me a lot, but I don't tell her about the...images that assault me in my sleep.
"Okay. Vic brought home some taquitos, this morning. I think they're in the microwave." I could tell she was trying not to go back to sleep.
"Cool." I walked into the kitchen and got some water to drink. "Is dad still asleep?" I asked, as it was almost four.
"I think so. He has tonight off."
"Great," I drawled, "I wonder if that means Evan will be over? Never mind, I already know the answer." I wish my friends would come over one day. Eh, who am I kidding? They have to much homework to come by.
'Courtney, if you called them, they would be more than happy to talk to you.' A calm, yet terrifying voice called from the depths of my mind.
I know, Crystal. I just don't want to be a bother to them. I replied.
'Court, Crystal is right. You need more than just the four of us.' The words seemed to come from the deep, ocean breeze.
Shinju, I do have more than the four of you. I have my parents, grandparents, aunt, uncle, and cousins. That's enough for me. My argument was lost, and I knew it. Why do I have to have two cat beastials, a half-breed, and a quad-breed in my head again?
'Is that the thanks we get for saving your life? Or would you have rathered us just save Crystal' An elegant, yet imposing voice rang out in an angry, yet amused tone.
Lady Taigana, I am grateful to you and Tigerisa for saving us. However, I would like to keep my thoughts to myself, every once in awhile. If that is acceptable? I responded.
Laughter flooded endless halls of my mind. 'Courtney, I wish we could, but you need a friend that you view as sister, soon.'
Why? I mean, ain't the world supposed to end, next month? The confusion I felt must have been obvious, as the others started to laugh.
'Lady Bine has decided to teleport you and a friend of your choosing to another dimension. I suggest letting me use the seals on your back. I can seal enough supplies in them to last a year. We can, also, take one of your cats with us.' Tigerisa explained.
I guess we can take Tatiana, Tenshi, Tsuki, Raion, or Arashi. Who should I take, as far as my friends go? I'll decide on my cat later. Dread lined my grief-filled voice.
'We could always take all five of them, but then you wouldn't be able to bring a friend with you.' Crystal volunteered.
'We can't. Mother said to bring a friend. Her orders are absolute. Yet, we could try a scroll for sealing the cats.' Taigana lectured to us.
Okay, but who do I take? Rose would be sad for leaving behind Austin. Bekah wouldn't want to go without Zack. I don't know if Megan is dating anyone. Allison is a were-wolf. She wouldn't want to leave her pack. I think I need to start over, completely. I can't force one of my friends to go with me. It wouldn't be fair to them. Can you call Lady Bine? I want to talk to her. I could feel my control waver. I knew I needed to head inside of my mind. Sitting on my bed, with my legs crossed, I closed my eyes. When I opened my eyes, a large, ancient Japan styled mansion was before me. The lawn was elegantly lined with various flowers, from around the world. Sakura trees lined the gate that led to the beach. I walked along the stone path to the front door. Taking off my shoes, and sliding the door open, I was met with the delicious aroma of fresh, baked bread. A tall, young woman waltzed down the hall. Silky locks of her cobalt hair flowed behind her, as she approached. Her pale skin complemented the noble robes that danced around her.
"Hey, Courtney. Taigana is in the dining room with Tigerisa. Shinju is making six loaves of bread. I was trying to help, but she told me to take you to the dining room, instead." Crystal informed me.
"Sweet. What kind is she making, besides Honeydew Dove?" I responded.
"She is making Blood Feast, Banana Catnip, Strawberry Cat Grass, Herbal Cheesecake, and Tropical Paradise. Honeydew Dove is yours. Taigana ordered Banana Catnip, as Tigerisa is getting the Strawberry Cat Grass. Tropical Paradise is for Lady Bine, and Herbal Cheesecake is Shinju's. Need I say anything about Blood Feast?" Crystal ended with a VERY intimidating glare.
"I would be crazy to try to take Blood Feast from you. Besides, I am human. We don't live off of vampire and were-wolf blood, half-breed." The taunting smirk was barely suppressed, when I finished speaking.
"You're right, it would be crazy. Anyways, Lady Bine should be here by now." Crystal finished our conversation. We walked into a winery styled room, the dining room.
"Hello, Child. Good evening, Warrior. I hope my children delivered my message." The angelic voice drifted to us from across the room. Three gorgeous women sat behind a dark, wicker table. All three had pointy ears on their heads, and furry tails swaying behind them. The one on the right had black hair with silver tails. The lady at the left, had brilliant gold highlights floating in her cobalt hair. Between the two of them, sat a beautiful , red head. Cobalt streaked through her locks.
"Lady Bine," I addressed the red head, "Lady Taigana and Lady Tigerisa have spoken to me about your orders. I wished to talk to you about them, if I may?"
"Child, my daughter and granddaughter should have fully explained the command to you." She kept a noble face.
"Lady Bine, I was curious as to if I could possibly have while before gaining a traveling companion. I do not wish to force one of my friends to come with me. Life outside of our dimension would be too hard on them. I would like to wait until I have met someone that I know would not have any problems with that life style. I do not think my friends would be able to handle the lifestyle that have been trained to endure. I do not mean to speak out of term, Milady."
"Child, your words speak of wisdom beyond your years. I will make a deal with you. The first dimension you are going to is one that will die soon. There are four beings that I wish for you to take with you on your journey. Three of them have the ability to merge into one being. Their names are Saago, Kutal, Mushura, and Yakumo. The first three are beings known as enterrans. Yakumo is human. The enterrans combine into a being known as Mushrambo. Saago is a water enterran and has blue wings when in his hyper form. Kutal is an earth enterran. He is a lion in his hyper form. Mushura is a fire enterran. He has the wings of a phoenix when in hyper form. He does enjoy a good fight. Mushrambo is a dark enterran. His ultimate form is a light enterran. Both form of Mushrambo are samurai. Do you think you could travel with them?"
"If they have no other attachments to their world, then I would be more than happy to travel with them, Milady. If they will travel with me, it would prove to be a wonderful journey for us."
"I believe they will accept. They are the last of their world. They will be glad for the company. May you have a blessed journey. Child. Warrior. Princess. Queen. Priestess. I will send you to them tomorrow. Prepare now. The day after you meet them, I will send you to another dimension. Enjoy your time of peace. War resides in the dimension you will be sent to with your companions."
"Lady Bine, I thank you for your understanding. I am honored by your faith in me. I am a humble servant that is blessed with your guidance. Thank you. I will carry out this mission to the best of my abilities. I hope you will be pleased with the results, Milady."
"I am sure I will, Child. Now go and prepare. You will leave when you wake." Lady Bine phased out of existence.
"You heard her, Courtney. We need to get ready. Seal up all of your stuff. You can take all five cats. Just make sure you have everything." Crystal ordered.
I closed my eyes before I felt like I was in a vacuum. Opening my orbs, I was greeted with the sight of the back bedroom. I left the room and entered my bedroom. Taking out a scroll, I sealed my possessions in it. Next, I ventured to the kitchen. I sealed away all of the fruit, vegetables, and Asian food. My cats ran into the kitchen when they heard me. I sealed them in my arm. Opening the door at the end of the kitchen, gave me a get view of the dining room. I sealed away everything that was in the room. Next, I went into the garage. There, I separated from Shinju. She vanished into thin air. I sealed up my belongings that were in the garage and attic. I crept through the house. I entered the back bedroom, and wrote a note to my family. I can only hope they understand. Shinju phased back into my room. She had tattoos covering her arms and neck. Shinju nodded and faded out of sight.
I lay down on the bed and went to sleep.
