The trip to Japan was long, boring, and dull. I walked into the airport and called a cab, which took me to a small apartment my brother Yuki was lending me until he got back.
I packed my stuff away, and cleaned up the house a bit. Then I called my father to let him know I was alright.
It was nearly noon, so I decided to have lunch somewhere. This wasn't my first time in Japan. I was born here, and lived here for the first 10 years of my life. It was great.
I had a quick lunch at a small café, and then walked around for a little bit.
I walked by a school that was just letting its students out. Lucky me;I was here on a business trip, and I had finished most of my independent study on the plane.
I walked past the gates and stopped when I saw someone I thought I knew. He had black hair that was slicked back, and was walking with some ugly guy with orange hair. The orange-haired one looked up and saw me, and gave me a smile I knew all too well.
"Hey pretty, I've never seen you around here before." He grinned. "You new?"
"Not exactly." I said, and walked past him. He stopped me.
"Hey, I don't usually do this, but, would you like to go and have lunch sometime?" he offered. I shook my head.
"No thanks." I, again, tried to walk past him. But again, he stopped me.
"Hey! Come on, I'll pay!" he started begged. I jutted out my hip and crossed my arms, about to start a very long 'conversation'.
"Hey Kuwabara!" someone said from behind him. "Give the girl a break!" The one with black hair came into view. "Hey." He grinned at me. I couldn't stop myself from grinning. I knew my looks were good, but this never really happened before. Oh wait, nevermind.
"No, I'm not interested." I said, before he could ask. I started to leave but then turned back. "Say, what's your name anyway?"
"I'm Yusuke! And this dimwit is Kuwabara." Yusuke introduced.
"I'm Takara. Nice meeting you. I'll see you around." I walked off. Where had I seen that boy from before?
The rest of my day was pretty boring. I shopped for the award ceremony I was supposed to attend to, and visited my uncle and aunt. They had a newborn baby, and he was just so adorable. I could have spent forever playing with him.
But I always returned home, to the same empty apartment. When was my brother coming into town? I often thought when I got extremely bored.
One glorious day, I spotted Yusuke and the other guy again, with two new faces. One guy with red, long hair that made me almost think he was a girl, the other with black hair that pointed at the sky. He didn't seem happy to be with them, but then again, who would?
The disappeared in an alley, and for some strange reason, I followed them. I have had tons of practice with sleath, and followed them easily. They were talking so low amongst themselves that I couldn't hear them. Actaully, it seemes as though the redhead was doing most of the talking; I may not have been able to hear the words, but I could still make out four different voices.
There was a dirty bridge that they walked across; on the other side was tons of trees, making a dense forest. I got down and snuck under the bridge. I accidently knocked a rock out of my path, and it plopped noisly into the low river. I tried to hide when I heard Kuwabara say, "Hey, what was that?"
I pressed my back against the inside of the brigde, far from their prying eyes. I saw Yusuke lean foreword, streching out his neck and looking into the water. I sucked in my breath.
"Must have been a squirrel or something." He decided, and got back up. They walked off the bridge. I breathed out a sigh of relief.
They disappeared into the forest, and I, stupidly, followed them. I held back as many branches as I could, but once or twice it would snap back into my face or legs. I came out of the bushes, branches and leaves in my hair. I didn't mind. I've done this a million times. The only thing that got me mad was that I was actually doing this to follow them.
I walked on foreword, heading towards another pack of bushes, and fell into a deep hole.
"Ouch! Who put that there?" I shook the dirt of my pants and got up. The hole was really, really deep. I could barely see the clouds, much less the sky itself.
I kicked at the dirt walls with my feet, and repeated it until I got an inside ledge. Then I made another one, above it, and kept on going. I climbed on it when it got too high for me to reach (I had taken off my shoe and was digging inside the walls) until I got to the middle.
Something made me stop. I'm not sure what, and I'm not sure if I even want to know. But I was getting a creepy feeling. Like something was staring up at me with a piercing gaze.
I looked down, a bit scared. First off, I'm a bit afraid of heights, secondly, what if there was something staring at me?
Yellow eyes gazed back at me. I screamed, surprised, and fell down to the bottom, landing on my stomach.
The fall took the breath out of me, and I struggled to get up. The thing, whatever it was, was advancing on me; I could hear its steady steps.
I coughed, spitting dirt from my mouth. I felt, or heard, I'm not sure, something moving towards me, and out of instinct, I ducked. Dirt from the wall sparyed onto my back and into my hair. I coughed some more, only this time blood came out.
Where did that come from?
The thing that hit the wall was coming for me again, and I jumped up and dogded it. The thing pulled it out of the wall and then came heading towards me.
I rolled away this time, and found myself in a tunnel. I looked around, amazed.
"This wasn't here before." the thing, whatever it was, shoved its face in, and I screamed. Its hand grabbed for me, and I quickly crawled away. Suddenly the roof of the tunnel grew in hieght, and I was able to walk up straight.
There was a knife stuck in the dirt wall. I didn't question why it was there, I just took it and kept on walking really, really fast.
The ground beneath me rumbled, and out popped up the creature. But this time, I was ready. I aimed at his heart, or where I guessed where his heart was, and stabbed him with the knife.
He fell back, sputtering and coughing. I set off again, and this time I found a ladder. "Just my luck!" I shouted, proud of my victory.
I popped my head above ground, and came face to face with four pairs of feet. I slowly looked up, and almost fell from the ladder when I recognized the faces.
"Takara?" both Yusuke and Kuwabara exclaimed, just as surprised as me. I got off the ladder and onto the ground.
"Um.hi.ahhh!" I screamed again when a hand came out from the hole I just got out of. But in an instant, it was separate from its arm, lying on the ground before me. I felt movement from somewhere behind me; Hiei was putting his sword away.
"Takara, what exactly are you doing here, this isn't a safe place to be you know." Kuwabara said, helping me up. I brushed the dirt off my legs.
"I was.um." I tried to focus, get a grasp on reality. But my encounter with the creature had really scared me. I looked up at him. "Do you know what that was?" I asked instead.
"Uh." Kuwabara's face went blank, I think. I don't know, everything was all fuzzy. Everybody was moving so fast, and I felt so dizzy. My eyes started to close, the ground still swaying side to side.
