Chapter One
Falling with Eyes Wide Shut.
Past
I sat back in my seat in the plane on my way to my new home. Not only was it thousands of miles away but it was in a different country. My parents had died in an accident, just weeks ago. The only person I had left was my grandma. I love her in all, but why did I have move to Japan. She lives in a house near a creepy shrine. I remember it that way because one summer I got locked in it.
I have to go to a new school in two weeks and I had a crash coarse just a mouth ago in Japanese. It was harder for me sensing I have a Brooklyn accent. Born and raised there why couldn't I stay? Dad never found it important for my mom to teach me my second language though I did learn the basics of Japanese. "She's half Puerto Rican he would say. Why can't she learn Spanish too?"
Present
"Ah where is my uniform?" I screeched while tearing my room apart. Could say it was an improvement to its state before my search.
"Char, here it is." My Gram pulled my uniform out from behind her back. "Charha if I hear you were fighting again I'm going to cut your allowance." She smiled and dropped my all black uniform on my bed and walked out of my room.
I grabbed it and threw the knee-high socks out of the room. "Gram Kagome I hate those." 'Geez I want to show off my legs to all the guys.' I turned looking at myself in the full-length mirror on my wall, after putting on my short skirt. "Now what shoes?" I turned and looked into my closet full of healed shoes and sneakers of every type. Platforms were my preferred choice. They had been collected over my year of mourning. Gram had bought them all for me knowing shoes were the way to my heart.
"Hurry up, the schools not going to wait for you."
I threw my black halter top on with my black Linkin Park hoodie to cover it. "I'm coming wait up for me." I yelled while heading down the stairs.
When I got down to the kitchen I grabbed my backpack and set it over one of my shoulders in such a rough way that it almost threw me off balance. "Gram where is my black nail polish?"
"Why?" She said with a questionable face.
"What did you do with it?" I knew she had it.
"Here use this." She handed me a dark shade of purple nail polish.
'I guess this will work.' I painted my toenails first and then my fingernails on my way to school in the car.
"Charha be good." Gram looked at me as I got out of the car. "And Charha walk home I can't pick you up."
I gazed at her for a moment. "Yes, Gram give me a dollar no two.
She handed me my money and I was off.
The day had gone well. First period I did all my work, and I was congratulated by the teacher for not causing a scene as I left. Second period was a bit rougher. I had called the teacher an idiot to his face due to his lack of knowledge on the big bang theory. He asked me for a simple explanation that even a kindergartner could understand and I did. He just about bit my head off for my rendition of the theory but it was so simple a kindergartner would understand. We had block scheduling so lunch was next. I walked down scanning the cafeteria for my friends and took a seat when I spotted them. They were going on about the latest Playstation games as usual so I laid my head down to think.
"Hey Charha" A girl called. I twisted in my seat at my lunch table to see who was calling my name.
She grabbed my blue highlighted black hair and pulled me out of my seat. "You whore!" She yelled.
"Bitch don't touch me." I grabbed her hair in retaliation and sat her on the floor. I kicked her in her mouth knocking her front teeth loose. "You know better then mess with me!" I yelled back, dropping her hair from my hand as I watched her scream in pain. Two teachers grabbed my arms and pulled me up the stairs to the principal's office. Not far behind another teacher followed aiding the other girl up the stairs.
I sat down in the seat in the corner looking at the girl cry and sniffle; the whole time all I wanted to do was have lunch and talk to my friends. What did I do to deserve to get in a fight with some girl whom I didn't even have a name to go with the face? I sat back when the principal asked her to tell her side of the story.
"She was trying to get with my man." She cried out sniffing and trying to hold tears back. "I confronted her and she grabbed my hair and knocked me to the floor. More tears came with that lie. "Then she kicked me." She held a tissue to her eyes and one to her mouth. 'Lying bitch.' I thought 'Should have kicked those teeth out.'
"Charha?" The principal called me out of a trance. "Tell me your part of the story."
I leaned forward in my chair and started my recollection of the incident. "I was sitting at my lunch table." I said boldly and to the point. "She rolled up on me called my name, I turned around she grabbed my hair, pulled me out of my seat, and called me a whore. So I grabbed her hair in return sat her down on the floor and kicked her in the mouth." I sat back in my seat and said nothing more.
"Were there any witnesses?" He looked at me sternly like I was lying. "Charha, who was at your lunch table?"
"Jena, Phuc, (no not f**k) Trent, Ash, and Arhem were there. I don't know if they will tell you though." He left the office and I heard him call Jena Carlson to the office over the loud speakers. The girl stopped crying and glared at me as if asking for another beating but I kept my cool. He returned and asked for us to sit in the lobby. We both stood and walked out the girl in front of me.
Jena came in and smiled at me faintly before entering his office. He came out and inspected to see if we were staying away from one another and greeted Jena, "Jena, hello I need you to tell me about the fight earlier?" The principal asked as he shut his office door leaving me alone with the girl.
Jena being my closest loyal friend told the truth. "Miss. Lighting?" He called me back in to his office. I walked in and took a seat across from him. "You can go home. I'll press charges if you want me to." My jaw dropped for once I wasn't the one with pending charges.
"No I fought back what right do I have to cause her more humiliation." I grabbed my backpack and swung it over my shoulder and walked out of his office. I headed to my locker and opened it taking out my hoodie and putting it on. I removed a few of my books from my backpack placed them in my locker and left.
I headed home walking the quickest way there I knew. I had to pass the creepy shrine when I arrived to my gram's house. I turned my head when I saw a flash of pink and purple light in the well house. I pried the doors open with a loud crack sound followed by a high pitched squeak. "Strange a well with what looks like a strobe light cool." I walked closer to the well looking down in when I felt something brush by me. I turned to look and see what it was but there was nothing in the well house with me. I leaned over the side just as something pushed me forward making me lose my balance and fell in. Keeping my eyes closed I waited to hit the bottom.
Ancient Japan.
I didn't hit the bottom but instead it felt like I had just stepped forward. I felt hands touching me little tiny hands as the ground beneath me began to move. How was it possible I was in well? I tensed as I heard a little chirpy voice say,
"Inuyasha, look a girl." I opened my eyes to see my body just coming over the edge of the well. The hands let loose of my hoodie that was now hanging from my wrists. Their owner sat on top of my backpack which was sitting next to me. He was small and looked like a fox; a baby one. 'How cute.'
"Huh, what, Where am I?"I sat up facing my back pack only to see the little creature unzip it. He was going through my backpack with only his hide area hanging out. I stifled a giggle when I heard him cry ouch. I smiled and tapped the bag just as his head popped out. "Hey give me that." He had my pen crammed in his mouth chewing on it while growling. I smacked him on the top of his small plush head, and he tipped forward and fell into my backpack.
I pulled my hand back and as I did it was grabbed by a larger and definitely stronger hand with claws. A tall silver haired man stood just above me with a scowl on his face I swore would have killed me if I were less a woman.
"Who are you?" He asked coldly, lifting me form my sitting position.
"No, who are you?" I asked back just as cold, ready to strike. My expression was hard to hold as the sound of the smaller creature grew louder.
He gripped my hand tighter showing his true strength. "I asked first wench."
"Go ahead break my hand." I looked into his amber yellow eyes, as he stared endlessly back into mine almost black brown ones. "I don't care." The pain was catching up with my mouth, causing me to let out a low screech.
"I will you stupid bitch." He gripped tighter and lifted me even higher, so we were eye to eye. I was trying to play off the pain when I saw them, his cute little ears. No matter how stern his facial expression was, it still wasn't enough for me to stop my self from saying. "Awe, aren't those cute?" Lifting my free hand I rubbed one of them attempting to see if they were real.
"Don't touch that!" He yelled. The ear flipped back and I was aware they were real.
"Tell me your name now!" He yelled louder. I shuddered uncontrollably by how loud he had just yelled.
"Could you put me down first?" His grip loosened and I fell flat on my ass. "Owe why did you do that?" I growled rubbing my butt..
"Tell me or I'll go back to breaking your hand. He growled back, but louder. I smiled standing up and dusting myself off.
"Charha…" I said clear as day followed by "Lighting." which I whispered hoping her wouldn't hear my dumb last name.
"Lighting, like what comes from the sky?" He turned around and sat down ignoring the expression of hatred that showed on my face. "Feh It doesn't suit you; you're to stupid and weak." He said in what seemed to be a disgusted tone. I was temped to kick him in the back of his head but caught myself. I really didn't feel like getting killed but he had to say something else. "Wench will suit you for now." He bit snapping his head to the side.
Still I stayed calm and unmoved by his cruel unneeded words. I asked his name coolly. "Yeah so what's yours?" I noticed the hair. It was white and not silver like it had looked in the aurora of the sun. I giggled and asked him "Why?" before he could answer my first question.
"Stupid wench shut up. My name Inuyasha and my hair is that way because I'm hanyou."
I thought back to my Japanese lessons "You're a dog demon, HA, and you're a half breed, HA, HA."
His face turned red with anger, causing me to laugh even harder.
"Don't you even start about me; at least I know how to dress appropriately."
I looked down at what I was wearing. "What is wrong with my outfit?" I questioned noticing his out of date clothing that was all red, and he had no shoes.
"What is wrong your shoe things they are half your height." He pointed at my black platform sandals. "Your legs aren't covered and it's cold." He stopped and took a look at my legs. Your skirt is to short; your butt is almost sticking out form under it." He stopped for a look at my bottom as well. "Your shirt is too tight. Your breasts look like mountains." He stopped and took yet another look. "And your hair is two colors and you're a human." He sniffed my scent to make sure.
"Well the only reason you got a look at my breast was because your little slave ripped my hoodie off." I looked around for it and put it back on.
"Yeah...Inu...Yasha .you is ...right.., she… dresses...a little....like. A...whore." I heard munching coming from behind me.
"Hey you little rat get out of there!" I grabbed my backpack from the little fox creature still not knowing his name.
"That was good, give me more." His face was covered in starburst wrappers.
"What is your name?" I asked handing him a pack of starburst.
"Hmm...Yum... yum...uh...Ship...pou." He devoured the candy without unwrapping them.
I was about to laugh when a puppy dogface interrupted me. "Why did he get some?"
"Let me see... You're rude, inconsiderate and well you were going to hurt me." I grabbed the first thing I could latch to in my backpack and threw it at him.
Unfortunately it was my economics book, the biggest one that I had. I wondered why it was even in my backpack and why I hadn't disposed of it at school.
He dodged it and grabbed me in the most unusual position. "You little wench!"
I was leaning inches from the ground with his mid section pressed to mine. "Uh hem, could you watch where you're putting you package?" I exclaimed as s slight blush crept over my face.
He in turn looked down and dropped me. "Yeah sure I will wench." I was seconds no milliseconds from breaking and the face he sported didn't help.
"I have had it." I screamed, I got up and ran as fast as I could in platforms, and jumped on his back. Digging my fingernails into his neck he started to growl. It was a good idea at the second. I knew he was stronger but so was my ego. I dug my nails deeper.
His growling like a dog grew louder and he threw me to the ground. "Bitch that hurt!" I bit my bottom lip waiting for him to attack. The trees above swayed in the wind as he turned toward me. He stood just above me and I braced myself.
I was in the perfect position when I realized he had placed himself almost parallel with my foot. 'Yes do it.' my subconscious squealed. I lifted my platform and sent it straight into his jewels as hard as I could. "I hate when guys try to win against me!" I got up from my position. I had just scored me an intimate moment with the half-breed. Not that I really wanted one I just wanted to go home.
"Arrg, you stupid wench." He got up and slammed me to the ground beneath him. Holding my hands down, and sitting his throbbing manhood over my mid drift. "There is no hitting me in my groin this time." He growled in a low tone that scared me, making me squirm under his weight. I watched the trees sway and felt a slight tingle in my neck but ignored it. The problem at hand had over powered the tingling sensation.
"Inuyasha," Shippou cried.
'Thank goodness I could have been his chew toy or worse.' I thought as he lifted his warm muscular, well built body from my small womanly body. He was more the twice my size. "It's a demon with a shard." Shippou looked deep into the forest that lay around us. "I saw it." I sat up and looked deep into the forest that had started to dim by the falling sun just behind us.
The half dog demon was sniffing the air. The wind started to pick up and I let a small involuntary shiver surface. Inuyasha kept sniffing when a green object seemed to fall from a tree. I made no connection with the sudden disturbance which felt closer then it had originally.
"Uh can I go?" I said getting up feeling a tingle in my spine making me turn to my left side. It was getting to creepy. I mean I am strong in the way of protecting my pride but this felt like I was protecting my life. I looked up and saw the most hideous thing I've ever seen. My body started to shake as the creature looked at me drool escaping through it jagged teeth. "Uh, um, uh?" I backed into Inuyasha who turned to me. I was shaking like a leaf in the wind but who wouldn't with a huge creature that looked like it had just placed you on it's dinner menu.
"What wench?" He said still not noticing the demon above us. My hand rose pointing shakily as I tried not to collapse from fear.
"Uh, uh, there is a big nasty thing in front of us, and I think it looks mad." He looked up and instantly I felt him go into what was some kind of battle mode. I was knocked to the ground by the rude arrogant hanyou who was now fighting for my life or at least it appeared that way.
Inuyasha pulled a huge sword from his side, which I had not noticed but he was carrying one. The huge creature growled, "The Tesusaiga." and tried to grab him but he dodged the huge clawed paw and sliced a piece of glass out of its head. He then proceeded to cut the monster into pieces, which reminded me of beef tips. It was like seeing Resident Evil in person not TV involved. (You know the scene where the commander is the last one left right out side the Queens Chamber and he gets diced to bits by the laser checkerboard.) I shuddered, fell to my knees and lost what lunch I had earlier before my fight. I regurgitated everything and started to dry heave. I wasn't big on seeing such a sight but it was a little late to change seeing it. I caught a glimpse of Shippou's fox feet before they rushed forward.
"Inuyasha, hey half ling" Shippou yelled looking at me as I lifted my head.
"What you little rat?" He placed a small piece of cloth on the small shard of glass and pocketed it. He turned from his victory and headed back to where I sat on all fours.
"What is wrong with her?" Shippou who apparently never saw someone throw up asked. I sat back looking at what I had eaten start seeping into the ground. I was surprised by my reaction to seeing something that would have not bothered me naturally. The scare from seeing such a creature sizing me up as dinner might have caused it when added to seeing it cut to beef tips I guess.
"She'll be fine." Inuyasha said disgusted by me. He looked like he had just seen someone slap their kid or something. I guess he wasn't use to seeing someone lose their lunch. Not that I was use to being the one doing it.
"Are you ok?"
I looked up at Shippou who was looking right back at me with his big eyes. "Yeah I'll be fine. I." A rude half-breed interrupted me.
"How did you find him before me?" He looked at me as I got up and rinsed out my mouth with Aquafina Water, and ate a piece of gum. The sky was now almost completely black with the small stars twinkling above us.
"I don't know I was trying to ask you if I could go but you wee ignoring me. I felt something strange turned and looked up and there it was." I looked back at Inuyasha's stubborn face wondering why he asked me that question. Who was he to question me? I should have been asking what the hell had just jumped out of forest.
"Shippou go set another sleeping place for the wench." He ordered the little cutie.
Shippou ran off into the forest leaving me alone with the dog beast. How I wanted to be in my own little house atop the hill with my Gram snoring on the couch next to me. This was all too strange. It felt like I was dreaming and that at any time she would wake me but it never came.
"Did you feel anything before you looked? He turned away from me and headed towards the horizon where the sun had just fallen into its slumber and out of sight.
"Like what?" I asked.
"I don't know any strange feeling that would make you turn and find him." He sat down in a position that made me hurt all over, seeing it would be uncomfortable to me. "And how do you get sick from dead demon, it turned to dust anyway." I held my composure taking in the fresh air around me to calm my inner hate that had grown so rapidly for him.
"I knew you would start on me about that and I felt a tingle in my spine odd but precise I guess." I walked to his side and glared at him. He seemed completely lost in thought but I knew he was looking for another question as the look of disgust rose once more upon the features of his half demon face.
"Tell me why you got sick." He said stubbornly. I wanted so much to rip his tongue out but the chances of me doing that were slim to none. Both he would beat me to ripping his out by slicing me to bits or make me feel like his underling by knocking me to the ground beneath him, and neither were something I was in the mood to experience. Still I had to retaliate.
I smacked him in the back of is head and noticed a strange necklace of beads. In worn print it said osuwari. "I was not on my guard and scared to death."
He stood up and looked at me. "So being off you guard causes you to be sick?" I gritted my teeth reading the word on the necklace again letting it coarse around my mind before I answered.
"Are you stupid and why does your necklace say "Osuwari"?" Inuyasha crashed face first into the ground and I jumped at the scene.
"You wench!" He yelled as he recovered from his spill. "Never say that and why does it make you sick?"
"I'm a vegetarian, why do you need t know?" 'I wonder why he took a spill like that for no reason at all.' 'Wait stupid he's half dog, duh.' My subconscious blurted out. "Osuwari!"
He crashed once more to the ground face first. "Don't say that!" He was so heated, I almost died laughing. I had finally found his weakness. I wanted to jump up and down at my new finding I had finally won a battle in what was about to become an all out war.
