Chapter 8

* BRIIING *

"Kyaru you're finally back! Where were you what happened? I heard you were missing but turns out you were just with some friends! Is this true?"

"Hey Yuri. Uh.yeah it's true I guess."

"You guess?! You're not sure?"

"Well.To tell you the truth the day I went missing was the first day I met my 'friends' "

"Uh.ok.well anyways I'm glad you're back! Things get so boring around here without you."

"They do?"

"Well like duh!"

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

"Well this sucked just like any other day! I've been missing, nobody notices * of course * and I'm swamped with homework to catch up on. What a horrible first day back from the past." Kyaru was walking home from school her backpack bulging with books, papers and new assignments to be completed. It was so heavy she had to bend forward a bit to make it a bit easier to walk. It was a very sunny day and not to mention a very humid day. Her clothes stuck to her, her hair kept sticking to her face and she definitely needed some new shoes.

'I really need some new shoes. These old sneakers are so worn out they're even ripping! Soon when it'll rain I'll have puddles in my shoes. How wonderful that'd be! Not.' * Why are you talking to yourself about shoes and puddles? * ' What? ' * Shoes and puddles. It's probably the dumbest thing you've been thinking about all week. * 'Well it's not like I've got anything better to think about.' * Don't you? * "Hey what's that supposed to mean?!"

At that moment Kyaru bumped into a person both of them falling down.

"Oh! I'm sorry are you alright?" The person got up and asked her. Kyaru looked up and saw the cutest guy she had ever seen in her life! He was tall with dark brown hair, tanned and his eyes looked almost turquoise.

"Uh.yeah I'm fine." Was all she managed to say.

"I'm sorry for bumping into you. I wasn't paying attention to where I was going."

"Oh no. It's my fault. I was thinking about.uh.I wasn't really paying attention either. Um.so what's your name?" She just had to know so she just had to ask.

" My name's Dysseus. I just moved here and I have no idea how to get around town."

"Dysseus huh? That's a really cool name. My name's Kyaru. Well if you want maybe on the weekend I could show you around or something?"

"Oh that'd be great! When can we meet?"

"Well um.Let's meet here Friday and 5 pm ok?"

"Sure. Well I gotta jet but I'll see you later! Bye!"

"Bye!"

"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!" Kyaru burst through her front door screaming at the top of her lungs. Her mom came to see what was wrong but Kyaru grabbed her hands and just hopped around in circles screaming.

"Ok! What's happened?" Her finally asked when she calmed down.

"I * gasp * just met the most * pant * hottest guy * gasp * in the world!" Kyaru shouted and jumped up with her hands in the air.

"Oh that's nice. Where did you meet him?"

"Oh a block away from our house. Oh yeah I'm gonna show him around Friday night k?"

"What?! Oh no you're not! I'm not taking chances with you anymore! Strange always happen to you and plus you just met this and you're going on a date?"

"Aw mom! It's not a date. I'm showing him around town. You know gonna take him places show him some sights and parks and stuff! If you don't let me go he'll be waiting for hours wondering where I am."

"Don't you have his phone number or something to tell him you won't go."

"No! C'mon mom let me go out! I'm already an outcast at school and barely have any friends! How bad could this guy be?"

"Ok.ok you can go!"

"Yaaaaaaay!"

Later that night when Kyaru was about to go to sleep she noticed the necklace on her nightstand. She'd keep it forever to remember what happened. As she was slipping into bed she thought to herself.

'A real adventure...a real adventure. It'd never happen to anybody else. Or at least I don't think so. Except maybe to that Kagome girl. She's lucky she's staying with them. Get to travel and fight demons and the sort. Way cool. Way fun.' Kyaru's last thought in her mind was about Inuyasha and how he'd actually been nice to her the last moment she was there.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Kyau held the necklace in her hand. It was truly beautiful. She then looked at the shard. The thing they needed the most. Kyaru would never use it for evil things as Kagome had told her many demons did. But Kyaru was not a demon. Not a drop of demon blood in her so how would she use it anyways? She heard it could make people forget pain. Let their bodies move even in they were dead. But she wanted none of that and couldn't find any reason why it'd be dangerous in her hands.

She had no use for powers of strength or stealth. In the 21st century some did but she doubted that she needed it. She didn't even know how to use it.

She let the chain slide out of her palms and she held only the pendant then. She held it tight and thought of her new friends. She let go. She started to disappear but noticed when she reappeared she was in a field. All around it was forest and a lone dirt road leading into it. A lightning bolt crashed near her and she jumped. It was raining so she decided to run along the dirt road into the forest. But the strangest thing happened. Right when she stepped on the road another lightning bold smashed the ground. And another and another until lightning surrounded her in heat.

When they stopped she noticed they had made a circle around her and she could see the ground sizzle. She looked and saw one right above her so she ran screaming. But the bolt kept on following her like some sort of laser. She kept on running as fast as she could into the forest and bolt still followed. Still running she made her way to an opening she stopped for a second but at the second she was hit with three lightning bolts all at once. One looked red, the other blue and the one that followed white.

They created a beam around her carrying her to the heavens. She saw her father. And he smiled at her and held out his hand to her. But when she went to reach it she fell from the clouds and onto the ground. But she wasn't dead. She was actually very much alive.

But she noticed something. Her pendant glowed. The shard, the star and the moon. And that's when she realized the shard gave her powers. Of what she could do she didn't know. But in time she'd find out.

Kyaru woke up with a start. ' Was it just a dream?' she wondered. It was morning and her blinds were shut but she noticed something strange. Her pendant. it was glowing.
