'Nani?' I heard a sweet female voice. My eyelids slowly fluttered open, revealing a dark forest and 2 people looking at me. I bolted upright. The girl looked at me, with concern showing in her blue eyes. Turning to my right, I saw an incredibly good-looking boy looking at me curiously.
I blinked twice and screamed. My scream echoed through the forest. 'M-miss.P-please stop t-that yelling.' the girl said in a trembling voice, obviously shocked by my sudden outburst. Something in her voice soothed me and I stopped my incessant yelling.
The boy asked,' Miss, who are you and what are you doing here at such a late hour? Won't your parents be worried?' I didn't know how to respond to his onslaught of questions. How could I, when one minute ago, I was still at home? And then I passed out, didn't I? Everything was so terribly confusing. I had no idea what was going on at all.
' Uh...Sohma-kun, do you think this lady here can speak?' I heard her ask the boy. I smiled despite myself and said, ' Yes. I can.' Her eyes, suddenly becoming 2 blue, wide orbs. The boy, Sohma-kun as she called him, stretched his hand out towards me, to help me stand up. I accepted his hand and stood up. I dusted myself off and tried to regain composure and memory.
' Why not come to our humble abode for a moment? I'd like to know what has happened.' He invited me to their home. I frowned. A little voice in my head said, ' Didn't mom say not to ever follow strangers?' Yes. Although I was no child, I still had my reservations about going to a stranger's home, at such a late hour.
'Yes. Please come. I'll make you some tea and a few snacks if you want!' the girl said cheerfully. I reluctantly agreed. Something in her voice comforted me. Besides, I'd rather be anywhere else with people, than in this dark forest alone. ' Let's go!' The girl took my hand. The Grey haired boy led us to a very cozy Japanese styled house. ' Wonder if that baka inu and neko are asleep already?' Stupid cat and dog? I translated in my mind, wondering. He pushed open the sliding door and the girl brought me in.
' We-el-c-ome back!' someone sang. A dark haired man came into the room, dressed in a black kimono.
'I'm starving. Make some supper will you?' Snapped an orange-haired boy suddenly appearing. The 2 people who came in, eyes widening, once they saw their unexpected ' visitor' in their living room.
