Kagome looked around as the air filled with sparkles falling from the sky. The large words: Inuyasha: The Game filled the air as exciting music filled the background. Suddenly she was in a forest clearing looking out at a large golden mirror leaning against a tree – Goshinboku? Kagome gazed up at the large tree with tears in her eyes. In her time, the tree had been reduced to a trunk with branches stripped bare of its former glory. It was a mockery of the elegance it once was. Yet here, the tree was in pristine condition, the arms stretched out towards the light blue sky.
Stepping closer to inspect the large mirror, Kagome noticed that she could see herself. It was a tool for modifying the game settings! Kagome clicked gender, and looked closer to see herself with a beard, as she felt hair growing out of her chin, and her muscles start to buldge. With a gasp of horror, she clicked gender again to see her normal reflection staring out at her again.
That was weird. Okay, next setting.
Species: Youkai, Miko, Human
Kagome clicked Youkai just for fun, as she felt her ears and fingers elongate, and she began to grow more lean and tall. She felt a tingling sensation throughout her, and wow! She was so aerodynamic! Walking further away from the tree, she did a test jump. Okay, more spring in her step. She could work with that. She went for a roll, then a dash. And to test out her maximum power, she crouched and jumped up, up up…. ****CRASH! *** Nursing the wound to her head, she glared up at the big tree branch high up.
Okay no youkai. Human was too boring. Miko? Clicking at the screen, Kagome felt her body return to normal. But she began to feel the tingling aura within her that could be unleashed. Looks like she would have purification again in this game!
Realism was greyed out at 100%.
Difficulty: Easy, Tricky, Difficult, Good luck
Kagome selected easy. Who in their right mind would choose otherwise? Going through the short list, she decided not to modify anything else. Finally, the word *Status* caught her eye. Y/N
She clicked yes, and then "Tutorial," before she walked back to the center of the clearing.
"You're so boring, BOOOOOORINGGGGGG." The voice resounded across the clearing. Startled, Kagome looked up to see a young youkai with white fur jump down and stare intently into the settings she had just painstakingly chosen.
