Thanks to all who reviewed!!!
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN YU YU HAKUSHO
The school was only a couple of blocks away, so it didn't take very long to get there. The taxi driver pulled up to the school's gates.
"'Ere we are miss," he turned with his palm outstretched waiting for the money." don't see why ya wanna come 'ere though."
"I just need… to check something." I gave the man his money, opened the cab door and slid out. That's the last of my money, no turning back. I took in a deep breath and made my way past the gates
The front doors were locked securely as I shook them again. A sigh of frustration escaped my lips while I kicked the doors. I studied the numerous windows as a potential mean of getting in, but they were either to high or sealed shut. My eyes continued to search for an entrance; I looked around the right corner of the school and felt a shock go through me. I noticed a grey door without any locks. I skulked to the door and reached timidly for the knob. Once my fingers curled around it another shock went through- only this time I felt encouraged by it. No turning back. The words shouted in my head like a chant. I turned it tardily and heard a faint click. I pushed the door open cautiously and peered in.
The room was littered with cleaning utilities and had an overwhelming smell of a cleanser. I slipped through and shut the door quietly. The room was small with very little moving space. I maneuvered my way around the numerous objects and found the door out. I opened the door to see a long vacant hallway. Silence was the only thing the building was making. My heart began to pound a little faster as I walked down the still hallway.
It didn't take long to find a staircase to the second floor. Once there, I racked through my memory trying to remember my old homeroom. I strode down the hall trying to remember.
"3A, 3B, 3C…" I stopped at 3C and felt a chill go up my spine. I felt uneasy as everything around me began to swirl.
I was looking at a group of students gathered around together talking excitedly." What? Again!" A boy exclaimed.
"Yeah, one of my brother's classmates has been gone a week." Another boy stated.
"Along with two others." Someone added. More students added their own comments to the intriguing subject.
"Maybe they were spirited away!" Shouted a tough looking kid, I recognized to be Kenta.
"Sure would explain the disappearances." I recognized the blond hair and knew it was Noriko. The vision seemed to melt away and I was standing in front of the 3C door. The missing people on TV… Is it just like back then? I thought to myself. My head ached a little from the vision so I didn't try to think much harder about it.
"What now?" I said to no one. This still didn't prove that Suichi had something to do with all this weird stuff. I looked out the window across from the door seeking help. Sadly I was greeted with a slowly setting sun. All my limbs and my head were weary; I still wasn't fully well yet.
The air suddenly became thick and heavy. It was beginning to get hard to breathe. A clang rang down the hall. A sudden alertness came over me. I glanced up and down the hall to find no sign of life. Fear swelled up in my chest and my throat got tight; a horrific smell of wet fur and waste emitted in the hall. I scrunched my nose up and gave another glance around. Instead of finding nothing I was staring into red eyes. My voice was caught in my throat, and my panic overwhelmed me.
Its face was wolf like with long fangs gleaming from its mouth. Its body looked like a humans only ten times hairier. Its claws were long and threatening. It gave a low growl,
"Little human girl all alone with me, how nice." Its voice rang through the hall; it sounded like sand paper. "I was starting to get hungry…" It stopped and sniffed the air. It bellowed out a snarl." I smell fox on you." He bared his teeth.
"Fox?" Shuichi's face popped into my head. Is he one of them?
"You smell too sweet that it's repulsive. No matter food is food." It crouched into a leaping position, my body stayed paralyzed. It let out a howl and sped towards me. I forced my body to quickly move out of the way as it clawed for me. I watched it howl in rage as it missed its target. Without thinking I reached for room 3C's door. It swung open and I rushed in and closed it.
I grabbed a couple of desks and used them as a blockade at the door. I moved away to the back of the classroom. I was stuck in a room, on the second floor of the school with a monster outside; I had no way of escape. The thought of losing my life didn't feel scary but disappointing. I hadn't found my answers and- something was missing.
"I'm coming little girl" The monster laughed. With a few rams the monster had successfully beaten my form of a blockade. It gave another howl and lunged toward me. It grabbed my neck and lifted me in the air. The last of my air was being chocked out of me. Its blood eyes danced with pleasure.
"Are you a screamer little girl," He squeezed harder. I let out a chocked sound and scraped at its huge hands. "You can do better than that can't you?" It flung me across the room so I hit the teacher's desk. I heard a sick crack, but I was focusing on my breathing to not notice the pain my body just felt. It gave a sickening smile at me and licked its lips.
"Poor little human girl, no one is here to save you," It crouched down at me. "Does it hurt little girl?" I wanted to shout yes at it, but the pain was beginning to sink in. It came like wave crushing me. I heard a loud shrieking noise only to realize that it was coming from me. The thing smiled at me.
"Don't worry little girl it won't hurt that much," He grabbed me by my neck again and began to squeeze. "It'll be over soon." Through the pain and lack of air my vision blurred.
"Oh I see…a dream." I saw myself say as I was carried on someone's back.
"That's right a dream…that you'll soon forget when you wake up." Shuichi was carrying me on his back.
My vision was less blurred as I was now looking at the thing trying to end me. Darkness was seeping into my vision. The smell of roses filled my nose, and I couldn't feel the pain anymore. Everything was consumed by the dark. This dream smells nice …
I woke up in a white room with bright lights. For a minute I thought I was dead but I noticed the monitor on my left and numbing pain in my ribs. I looked around the bright room to see a red head with green eyes sitting in a chair.
"Why are you here?" I said stiffly.
"You cracked some ribs, but you should be okay." He replied in his cool tone. I asked again only a little more demandingly, "Why are you here!" he didn't seem phased by my out burst. He got up and shut the door to my room.
"Maya," he sighed. "I followed you to make sure you got safely home. I found you hurt and I took you here." He took a seat at a chair by my bed.
"What are you?" I stared straight into his eyes. Something behind his eyes…I noticed a small glint of gold; it felt like the truth was behind his eyes.
"What do you think I am?" the question took me by surprise. What did I think he was? An alien, psychic, or maybe a vampire, no none of them fit right.
"I think you're…" I stopped myself to think. "You're some kind of monster." I stated.
He remained quiet. "A monster you say?"
"Yes."
"Why do you propose that I'm some kind of montser?"
"Because, you did something to my memories five years ago."
"How did I do that?" He asked calmly.
"You used some sort of spell or magic."
"Magic?" A flush of embarrassment was written all on my cheeks. He's trying to mess me up, I won't let him win.
"What happened to the monster at the school? Did you kill him?" I asked, knowing he wasn't expecting it.
"What if I did? What would you think?" he replied in a serious tone.
"I would…" He killed some creature, that makes him a murderer didn't it? He's some sort of monster, I should be scared. But why do I feel so safe?
"Maya, like you said before there are things you can see," He said staring straight into my eyes. I remained silent. After what seemed like eternity he averted his gaze to the door.
"I must leave now." He got up gracefully and made his way to the door.
"Wait! You didn't tell me anything!" I shouted at him. He didn't turn around, "You will find out soon enough." He then walked out. What does he mean?
That's chapter 7!!!! Hope you liked it, please read and review!!!!
