I'm just a Kid

Chapter One

In the Shrine

#%#%#%

Me: Okay, this story came to me in a dream too!

Inuyasha: Hehehe =) This is gonna be good.

Me: YUP!! Just to let you guys know, the girl here represents ME!! And I used the name Sora (from Digimon) cuz I like the name and it sounds cute with her sister's name. Anyways here it is!

#%#%#%

Ding dong.

The door bell rang at the Higurashi residence and Kagome's grandpa went to open the door. Outside were two people.

"Hello." He greeted.

"Hi." Said the woman. "We have come to see you about that shrine you had lent us for display in the museum.

Grandpa nodded.

"It seems that the people who visit the museum are concerned about it and some believe it was the cause of the fire that happened yesterday." She blurted.

"And why is that?"

The woman started waving to wards her and people pulled a large wagon with a shrine on it.

"As you can see, there are no burn marks on it whatsoever."

Grandpa nodded. "I see. So you want to return it?"

The woman nodded.

"Sora! It's time to go!"

"I'm coming!" Sora quickly scribbled in her diary and closed it. She stuffed it into her backpack and slipped it on her shoulder.

I can't wait! Sora thought excitedly. We're going to a museum and I get to hang out with all of my friends!

Sora was a normal girl. She was 13 (like me, mwahahahaha!) and she lived in China. She had wavey blackish red hair and big mahogany brown eyes. She was pretty skinny. She wore her favourite pair of blue jeans and a muscle shirt with black at the shoulders. (Kinda like a baseball shirt with the sleeves cut off)

She met up with her mom and they went out the door.

When they arrived, Sora's mom needed to make a phone call. They went into a mini shrine with 5 phone booths on the wall. Sora's mom went down the stairs.

"I'll wait here." Sora said, and sat on the steps.

"Okay." Sora's mom went down to make a call and then they went into the museum to meet their friends.

#%#%#%

"And this." Said the tour guide. "Is the temple the Japanese soldiers left behind during the war between China and Japan." (A/N: I know NOTHING about that war! So I just made this crap up. I'm not even sure if there was a war! Hold on I'll ask my mom. Yup! There was a war!) "The Chinese were afraid to destroy the shrine because if it was destroyed they thought that evil spirits the Japanese left behind will escape and possess the people."

Everyone looked over at the shrine.

"In addition, the Chinese had left a similar shrine in their country. No evil spirits, but for them to believe it and intimidate them. Some people believe that the two shrines are linked somehow." The tour guide cleared his throat. "Now if you'll follow me this way, we have an actual outfit worn by the first emperor of China." And everyone followed him into the next room and Sora and her two friends were left alone in there.

Sora sighed. "This is boring." She murmured to her friend Aliza.

"Hey Sora?" Aliza said hesitantly.

"Yeah?"

"It's almost Sonna's birthday, isn't it?"

Sora paused, then solemnly nodded. "Yeah. It is."

"How old would she be now?" asked Ikkita, her other friend.

"She'd be eight." Sora said softly.

"Oh." Aliza said. And they spoke no more of Sonna.

It's been two years. Sora thought sadly. Two years since I watched my sister Sonna die in a car crash. Two years since I survived the accident, and she didn't. She was so young when she died. She was only 6 when she died. Why couldn't God have spared her? Ever since that day, Sora always kept a diary, and she's always had a soft spot for little children.

Ikkita walked up to the shrine door.

"It doesn't look so evil." She reached for the door handle.

Aliza gasped. "Don't do that! There are evil spirits in there remember?"

"Look for yourself you coward." Ikkita said, opening the door wide. "There's nothing here."

"But still." Whispered Aliza. "We shouldn't be touching the shrine."

Sora laughed and shook the thoughts of Sonna out of her head. "You worry too much Aliza."

Ikkita took a step into the shrine. "Ohhh!" she said, taunting Aliza. "I'm inside it!"

Aliza gulped. "I don't think...."

Sora rolled her eyes. "Relax Aliza. I'll even show you that there's nothing to be afraid of."

Ikkita stepped out so that Sora could go in.

"Don't Sora. This shrine scares me." Aliza said, shivering.

"Everything scares you Aliza." Sora said sarcastically. She stopped in front of the door. What was this weird feeling?

"Well?" Ikkita said.

Sora nodded and put her hand on the handle.

Aliza stared at her.

"I can do this with my eyes closed." Sora said, closing her eyes softly and she opened the door.

Ikkita and Aliza gasped. "Uhh Sora?"

But Sora ignored them and walked into the shrine. She let out a startled cry as her foot hit nothing but air.

It was as if time was standing still.

"Sora!" cried Aliza. She ran forward and tried to grab Sora's hand, but was unsuccessful and Sora fell into a pit.

Screaming all the way down.

#%#%#%

Me: o0o0o0o weird eh?

Inuyasha: o.o What's this leading to?

Me: You'll have to find out!

Oh and if people are wondering how the whole shrine thing happened, well they said that the shrine was like possessed right? So, when they didn't expect it, a large opening appeared in the shrine where the floor should be and she fell through. What's this leading to? You'll have to find out! (I repeat -.-)
