Chapter 2

A week had passed since the girls learned what Mr. Katashi meant by 'training'. He took them under his wing and was teaching them how to fight using every part of their body. One day he took them into a room that was off limits to everyone.

In the small room he gave them each a special weapon. He smiled as he gave Cat a long sword "this is called a katana, but it's not just any sword. This sword has a magic spell over it. I've made you concentrate with your mind because it's your strong point and you'll need a strong clear mind in order to use this katana"

Cat stared at it with wide eyes "but I don't know how to use a sword grandpa"

He chuckled as he routed through a box and pulled out two daggers "this will be yours Christa. You also need a strong clear mind"

Christa took the daggers "thank you Mr. Katashi, but I don't think I deserve this"

"Non sense" he replied, "You're like family which means you can call me grandpa as well"

She smiled "okay then...grandpa"

His face went serious "now time to learn how to use them"

The girls spent many weeks practising and learning the power of their weapons. Sometimes Mr. Katashi would speak Japanese and the girls would understand so he had to repeat himself in English. The girls learned how to say a few sentences in Japanese, which helped them.

Christa had joined Cat at her school as an exchange student. Together they graduated and started to enjoy the summer. A week into the summer, Cat began to wonder

"Christa, when do you have to go home?"

"My dad said I could stay here for as long as I want since I'm spending my own money. I just have to make sure I call him from time to time"

"Honto? That's awesome"

Mr. Katashi came into the living room where the too were sitting and watching TV "alright you two, I want both of you to clean out the attic"

The two groaned, but eventually went up there. Christa had to help Cat up the ladder because her leg was sore from walking up one flight of stairs. When they were up in the attic they took a good look around

"This place is a pig sty," commented Christa

"No kidding, well let's get started" Cat said. Both started neatly stacking the boxed and almost immediately Cat notice something behind a pile of junk "Christa, come over here and help me move this stuff I see something"

Christa hurried over and then two moved stuff out of the way. After awhile the area was clear and a shrank stood before them. Cat walked up to it and opened it "oh wow, Christa! It's a bunch of old weapons" she picked up a rusty and nearly broken katana "look! It looks like the one I have except...it's ancient"

Christa laughed as she pulled out 2 daggers "look! These are like the ones I have except they're all rusty and about to brake"

Cat then noticed a cloth with string tied around it "hey, Christa. What's this?"

Her friend followed her gaze "I don't know"

Cat put down the katana and picked up the package. She slowly pulled away the string and then removed the cloth. It was an old style mirror, but it looked brand new "not even a scratch on it" she put it down "it creeps me out"

Christa chuckled "what, you're chicken of a mirror?"

"Not the mirror just the vibe I feel off of it. Come on let's go, we'll finished cleaning up after lunch"

Christa reluctantly agreed and both left for lunch. They finished it quick and took their newer weapons with them to compare with the old ones. As they started to climb the attic starts the heard a noise.

"What was that?" asked Cat

"I don't know, come on let's check it out" said Christa as she climbed up then turned to help her friend up "we got to do something about that leg"

Cat raised an eyebrow "ya think?"

Another sound caught their attention and they started to follow it. They walked among the boxes, but continued to see nothing that was making the noise except they did see a glowing light. They walked towards it to see it was the mirror glowing. Both cautiously approached when out of the blue a giant hand came out of the mirror.

Both girls screamed and started to run to the door when the hand grabbed them. They couldn't get their weapons that were tied to their waist so the girls tried to look for something that would help them get free when the saw the ancient weapons and grabbed them at a second to late. They were pulled into the mirror screaming.

Just then Mr. Katashi entered the attic. He smiled "and so their adventure begins" and looked at the open shrank and noticed some weapons of his were missing, his eyes grew wide "those brats stole my weapons!!" he freaked out.

Christa slowly woke up and looked around. Her surroundings had changed. She was in a room that reminded her of pictures she'd seen in a magazine of how feudal Japan was suppose to look like. Rapidly, all her memories of what happened came flooding back and at a fast pace and she looked around for Cat. She then heard a groan and on the wall a dark figure. She let out a scream, hitting the person in the head with one of the antique daggers she held without even looking at them.

Cat who was lying next to Christa quickly sat up and turned to her friend "Christa! Are you alright?"

Christa sighed in relief "yeah I'm fine, but I hit this guy and he broke this rusty dagger"

Cat looked at the dagger then at the person. Unfortunately the candle the person held that casted their shadow was put out when they were hit and she couldn't see "I'm scared, this person has a creepy vibe to them"

"With you everything has a creepy vibe"

"Not all things just most"

Christa crawled over to checked to see if the person was still alive "they are still breathing so the dagger didn't kill, but I can't tell if they are injured or not"

"I'm not," replied a man's voice.

Cat and Christa held each other for comfort or at least they thought they were holding each other.

"Would you mind letting go of me, after all we just met," said the guy as he re-lit a candle. The room was fairly large. There was a king sized bed along with a few odds and ends. Cat looked up at him and nervous smile

"Gomen" she let go and speedily crawled to Christa who was holding a pole; she looked at it for a minute as she let go

"I thought that was too skinny to be you Cat"

The man smirked "Please allow me to introduce myself. Watashi wa...Naraku. And you are?"

Christa smiled, she had learn to introduce herself using Japanese words "watashi wa Christa Lee"

Cat starred at the man "watashi wa Cat Izumi"

"It's a pleasure to meet you. I hope you two aren't injured"

Cat blinked "injured?

He nodded "yes, a huge demon had the 2 of you. I saw you and saved you"

"Demon!" the girls echoed. Both stood up at looked outside. Trees and bushes covered all around there wasn't a single house in sight. Cat sighed "I don't think we're in Kansas anymore Toto"

Christa glared at her "whom are you calling Toto, Dorthy"

The two took a fighting stance and were about to start fighting when Naraku spoke "please don't fight. You girls are more then welcome to spend the night. By they way I noticed you're clothes a foreign, where is it that you've come from?"

Cat wore tanned hiking shoes; baggy army green cargo pants and a tight blue t-shirt. Christa wore brown hiking shoes, baggy blue jeans and a tight green shirt. Cat froze. Being in a stranger's house that was one thing she wasn't going to do. She looked at Christa and shook her head.

Christa understood before looking at the man "we come from Tokyo, do you mind telling us what year it is?"

He nodded "of course, this is the year where wars are breaking out all over Japan. It's the feudal age"

Both girls gasped. They had traveled back in time! Christa cleared her throat "uum, there's something you should know and it's going to sound pretty crazy. We come from the future"

He smirked "that's not crazy at all. In fact there's another girl who I believe is from the future as well. She travels with a hanyu by the name of Inuyasha. I believe he sent the demon on you"

"Hanyu?" questioned Christa

Cat tugged her sleeve "it means half demon"

Naraku stood up "indeed it does. He wants to become a full demon and destroy the world" he glanced at their weapons around their waist "I see you girls have weapons, do you know how to use them?"

Christa looked down at her waist to see her new daggers were still with her "yes, but we're still new at fighting"

"Allow me to teach you how to use your weapons and maybe you could go on a quest to kill Inuyasha and his companions, of course this will not be done here in my bedchamber"

Cat and Christa looked at each other "bedchamber?!"
