Chapter 1 – Present Day Japan, at the home of Kachie Daisuke.
Kachie laid in bed, deep in thought. 'I had that dream again, what does it mean?' She remembered each detail of the dream, exactly as it happened. -- She was sitting in an empty village. There was nobody else there, she was all alone. Then, she suddenly felt someone lean against her back. She quickly turned to see who it was. It was a boy with beautiful, long white hair and dog ears. His back was faced towards her so she couldn't make out who he was. Then, a voice filled her head, repeating 'find him' over and over. "AHHHH! I'm so confused!" Kachie said as she swung her legs over the edge of her bed. She sighed, rubbed her eyes, and groaned. "…What time it is…?" She mumbled, trying to read the clock. Her eyes were still blurry from rubbing them. "…HOLY CRAP! IT'S 6:55! I'M GONNA BE LATE FOR SCHOOL!" Kachie shrieked as she tried to put her uniform on. "Ohgodohgodohgodohgodohgod of if I'm late again, my mom will kill me!" She grabbed her backpack and ran out the door, snatching a piece of toast on her way out. "Hi mom bye mom love you!" She closed the door and sprinted toward the front gate. "Hey Kachie! Come help me!" Hanna, Kachie's little sister, asked while signaling for Kachie to come over. "What is it Hanna? You're gonna make me be late!" Kachie said as she walked over to Hanna. "What do you want?" She growled, getting annoyed. "I was playing catch, and I let go of my ball and it rolled into the family shrine…and I'm too afraid to go in there." Hanna explained. "and you want me to go and get it for you, right?" Kachie added as Hanna nodded. Kachie sighed and slumped over toward the door of the shrine. She stepped inside and grabbed the ball, turning around to prove to Hanna that there wasn't anything to be scared about. "See, nothing here to be sca-…" She was interrupted when to ground beneath her began to quiver. "What the-?" She mumbled as the ground under her feet disappeared and she fell into an abyss of darkness. Hanna had been too afraid to look as her big sister entered the shrine, so she looked away and closed her eyes. Yet when she heard Kachie's scream, she freaked and ran into the house. A second later, Hanna came back out with her mother. "Mommy! I heard Kachie scream and now she's gone!" Hanna explained, nearly on the verge of break down. "Dear, she must have gone off to school, I'm sure she's fine." Her mother assured. "You're probably right mommy…but…" Hanna said as she curiously stepped towards the shrine. Everything was left untouched, except her ball was missing. Puzzled, she quickly ran back to her mother's side. "…never mind." Andthey walked back to the house. 'It's that time already? I hope that she's successful." Their mother thought to herself.
Kachie's eyes began to open, she was knocked unconscious after she had fallen. She fully opened her eyes and tried to sit up. "Where am I?" She asked herself as she stood up. Her vision was still out of focus, but she could tell she was in some type of hole due to the light coming from above. "Wha-? How did I get in here?" She felt her way around, looking for something to get out. She reached up and grabbed the edge of the hole. But when she tried to swing herself up, she hit something with her foot. "Damn, Hanna must be pissed. She probably thinks I stole it." She said as she picked up the ball and threw it up, over the edge of the hole. Kachie lifted herself out of the hole, then looked back down into it. "Where did that hole come from? Must have not been steady enough…maybe." Kachi continued out of the shrine, but stopped in mid-step. "Umm…Where's my house…?"
