Three years in the future, of modern time.
You wake up and it is the start of a new day. Everything is the same, but you feel as if something is missing. A part of you is torn away. You wonder what it is, but your mind can not place the pieces. What is it?
There is a knock on your door and you hear your mother calling for you, and you groan in anger of waking up at eight in the morning. You get up, stretch and yawn, particularly you do what any other normal person would do when they wake up.
"Katsumi."
Your mother calls you and you tell her that you'll be down for breakfast in a little while. She shouts an 'okay' and you hear her retreating footsteps disappear.
The alarm clock on your bedside table rings again, you furiously slam it down to shut it up, even a normal person would get annoyed by its noise.
Today is the day when you and your family visit the shrine by the street, you roll your eyes and sigh, they have pushed you into going along with them. You take off the covers and get up from your comfortable bed. You stretch once more to unwind your tense muscles and breathe in deeply.
You notice that the clothes you had set up the day before are placed on the chair, you walk over and grab them, and head off to the shower.
Ten minutes go by and you walk out, dressed in your plain jeans, purple shirt and your raven hair tied up in a ponytail. Your hair reaches the lower part of your back and you stare at your reflection in the mirror. You clap your hands twice and 'Mhm' out loud.
Your oceanic blue eyes look back at you and the same feeling you felt crawls back to haunt you. You determine what is lost and ponder on what it could be. There is nothing on your mind, other than that, but all thoughts fade to the back of your mind to hear your mothers call.
You walk over to the door, and head out of the room, closing the door behind you as well. You jaunt down the steps of your home and meet your mother who is cooking something that makes your mouth water.
"Good morning," your mother says sweetly with her regular smile in the morning. You mumble in response and pull the chair of the table back to take your seat. Your mother kisses the top of your head, all the while, placing the plate of your breakfast in front you.
There is eggs and bread, and you realize that you have to go grocery shopping soon, because the food is running out. You blame it on your little sister who stuffs all the food down her throat greedily, and she is just smirking in her seat across from you.
You roll your eyes when she does something to annoy you.
Finally, after taking your precious time, you are done with your food and push your chair back to walk to the kitchen.
"It is a good day, today." Mother had said to you and you nod to agree with her, even though your day hasn't started yet. You don't know what will happen, even if it something totally unexpected, beyond your wildest dreams.
Time ticks by and the rest of your family is all dressed up to head out to your next destination. You plug headphones in your ears as you sit in the backseat with your sister, and your mother is starting the car, she is speaking with your sibling about school and safety regulations.
You don't have to worry about that anymore, at least not for a little while, you won't be starting college for another two months. A grin spreads on your face, happy with the fact that you don't have any work to do.
No exams to study for. No worries on the test that will take place the next week. No more homework due the next day. Your life is now going to pass by in the blink of an eye.
"Katsumi dear, please help your sister with her seat," you hear your beloved mom say and you turn to help your five year old sister place her seatbelt on. She is protesting not to and your eye twitches in annoyance, how you wish that she can just be quiet for once.
You finally, somehow, manage to put the seatbelt on her and she pouts with her arms crossed. You snicker at her and relax in your seat. The car starts and you are now heading to a shrine, your mother wants to pay the respects of some woman that had lost her oldest child, apparently she has known her since they were younger.
Arriving at the shrine didn't take as long as you had anticipated, but it is the stairs that you just want to collapse and die from. You sigh in defeat and take one step after the other.
When you and your family make it to the top, you see many people by a tree that is beyond words that you can describe. You gape at the beauty of it, and feel a small tug on your shirt, you look down to see your sister.
She is pointing over to your mother who is speaking to a woman with brown hair and chocolate eyes. There is also a boy standing next to her, his face is crestfallen and the look of pain in his eyes makes your heart ache.
You walk with your sister and they both look at you with shock in their eyes. You freeze when you take a good look of their faces, and you seem to recognize them, but the problem is that you never seen them before in your life.
"Katsumi, say hello," your mother breaks your gaze from them and you bow, and pay your respects for their loss. You stay silent and they continue staring at you, and you fidget where you stand.
You notice your sister bounding off to an secluded area of the shrine grounds and you hurry over to get her. She enters this small shed, or at least you think it is a shed, she giggles and slides the door open.
You groan to yourself and enter to take her out. "You shouldn't be in here," you whisper harshly and you walk down the steps that led to a well. Your heart tugs at the sight of it and your breathe heavily, tears form in your eyes and you take a step back.
You wonder what on Earth is wrong with you, to make you act in such a way, why would you act like this in the first place?
"Katsumi," you hear your sister call out, but you hear that her voice echoes. You look down to see her on the bottom of the well and sigh,"You are such a trouble maker," you mutter and take a step down the ladder.
"I thought I saw something," your sister says, her voice shakes, frightened at being at the bottom of the well.
"You shouldn't be here in the first place," you retort, irritated of the fact that you have just placed a foot on a bone and it makes this small crack. Your eyes squint in disgust and you see your sister laughing and climbing up the ladder.
"Why you," you said, reaching over to follow her out.
She is already out and before you are just lifting a foot to climb out of the well, light engulfs you. Your sister's screams reach your ears until you no longer hear them anymore. All you see is swirls of blue and black.
You should be afraid of it, yet you are not, it a strange but familiar sensation.
Then before you can figure out what is wrong, you are face flat on the bottom of the well and you groan. You rub off the dirt off your face and look up, you see the sky, birds chirping near and vines around the well.
"What?" you say in confusion.
You brush your clothing off and start to climb up and after a moments time, you are out.
There is the sound of trees rustling and you gasp to see a figure in red standing, staring at you. The person you see is oddly dressed and what is weird, you see dog ears on their head.
You have officially gone mad and take a few steps back and feel that you are pressed against the well. They are walking towards you, the person's eyes narrow and then they flex their hand. You gasp and see claws and the next thing you see, the person is charging at you.
