Chosen to be Neko
Chapter 1- A New Home…. Again
Japan was a fanciful place the first time you looked at it, but to Saria Jenkins it was just another place to live. She knew people would say how ungrateful it was to act like she was acting, but she just couldn't help it. Moving just seemed apart of her life, and it gets tiring after awhile. She had been all over the world, and had seen many places. Though right then, as she sat in her parent's car looking at her new home, she felt sick of moving, sick of finding new friends, and sick of being called a foreigner, and sick of people making fun of her mentally disabled brother. She was also sick of unpacking and repacking.
Saria looked over at her brother, who for his young age, didn't care if they moved or not. She smiled as she watched her eager little brother. She was surprised how well they got along since she was eighteen and he was only nine.
"So, are we going to get out of the car or not," her mother asked as she turned to look at them.
"Yeah, I wanna see my new room," her little brother, Sky, practically yelled. Her mothers gray, eyes twinkled.
'Same color as mine,' thought Saria. Saria looked more like her mother than her dad. She had the same dirty blond hair, the same large mouth, and the same shapely body. She also had her little, prideful nose and her well-shaped ears. From her dad, she had his animated eyebrows, his white, large teeth, and she was more his height than moms. She was about five six and a half.
Sky jumped out of the car and skipped toward the house. Saria slowly got out of the car, and walked soberly towards the house. Walking up the front porch, she noticed at how old and shabby it looked.
"The realtor said that this was once a shrine built five hundred years ago," Mr. Jenkins said. Saria grinned at her father. She knew he was obsessed with history.
"Actually," he continued," the shrine was built by a Neko."
"What's that," Sky chided.
"What's what, son," Mr. Jenkins inquired.
"What is a N…. N…Necko," he asked.
"Oh, you mean a Neko," her father said. "It's a cat demon…a person that has cat features.
"Cool," Sky exclaimed.
"Well, really the Neko was a hanyou," said Father. "Half human, half cat demon."
When they reached the door, mother produced the key out of her pocket and unlocked the door. It creaked open. Curiosity (kills the cat…. lol…. you'll get it later) overtaking her, Saria entered the house. Instantly when she entered, she felt as though she knew the house, and the house knew her because it seemed to greet her. The other family members entered the house, and smiled at the cozy little house.
"Saria, your room is in the basement," her mother said kindly. "It's really big room, and it's quiet, too." Saria smiled in thanks and went to search for her bedroom. When she found the stairs and she went down them, she found herself in a large, dark room with boxes covering the walls. The boxes said 'Saria's Stuff'. Her double bed lay in the middle of the room.
'Good thing the movers came before us or I would have to sleep on the floor,' she thought as she went to seat on her bed. She felt a shiver go down her spine. The room itself seemed even more familiar than the rest of the house. She looked towards her closet door, as it seemed to draw her toward it. She slowly moved off the bed and, like a zombie, moved towards the closet door. When she was a inch away from it, her hand slowly turned the knob and open it. A bright, white light flashed around her as she entered her closet.
