Chapter One
Himeno didn't know where she was but she felt so weak. She looked around and saw a bright light to her right and then back to her left the dark. Well of course any logical person would walk towards the light. So she started towards the light but then it felt like someone punched her in the chest hard. She was slammed backwards into a misty area and she struggled to stand.
"Whose there?"
She jumped looking around.
"Who-Who are you?" she asked
"I believe I asked you first." a literal animal like growl echoed around her
"Himeno."
"A girl?"
"Yes, now who are you?" Himeno asked a little irritated
The mist cleared and a silver beast stepped forward. It was the size of a lion with a brilliant silver coat that gleamed like spun silk. She gaped staring at the amber eyed animal it looked more like a wolf then a lion. It couldn't be a wolf though. It had four large furred tails that swirled around the animal in an array. It glared dangerously at her and even let out a low growl. She screamed falling down as she turned to run away. She scrambled to her feet and ran but it seemed like she didn't get anywhere.
"Human I'm not going to eat you." The chuckle echoed around her
"Stay away from me!"
This was all too real it wasn't at all dream. She could feel her heart pounding and her chest heaving along with the perspiration beading on her forehead. Finally she became exhausted as she continued running in the silver mist and finding no wait out she dropped to her knees a stitch in her side.
"Calm down."
She sucked in a sharp gasp of air her breath stopped as the beast stood right before her at least four feet above her. It was one of those moments where time stops.
"So predictable." He chuckled
"Wh-what do you want?" she gasped her breathing coming in short gasps as she trembled
"Simply to find to find out where I am, who exactly you are, and how I came to be here." He said
Himeno tried to speak but she was still to scared "Calm down before you try to speak child."
She took deep breaths but not letting her guard "I-I'm Himeno."
"Yes we established that already, now how did I come to be here?"
"I don't know."
"You wouldn't would you not surprising."
She glared at the animal tears streaming down her cheeks "SHUT UP!"
The light misty silver area suddenly pulsed to red and Kurama literally felt the force of what seemed like a boulder slammed into his fox body. The girl once scared and exhausted stood tall and glared at the fox.
"YOU'RE JUST A DREAM! STAY AWAY FROM ME!!!!!!"
Then it all went black for both of them. Kurama felt like he was thrown off a cliff falling until he lost consciousness. To Himeno it was just a dream.
Himeno felt completely numb. Every limb felt like a hundred pounds as did her eyelids. Her lips were dry and cracked as she managed to work them open.
"Mmm."
"Oh my god! Himeno! Himeno! Can you hear me?"
"Mmmmooommmm." Her hoarse and barely audible reply came
"You're awake my baby, oh my god, oh my god, get the doctor!"
"Tired.." she whispered
"Sleep baby its all right."
Himeno let out a soft sigh as she felt into a lighter sleep.
Kurama awoke when Himeno awoke the second time. She was still weak but was quickly regaining her strength and in an instant he knew his situation. He was in this girl's body. Why or how he didn't quite know or understand. He had willingly separated his soul before but never against his will. He was weak like he had been in the beginning it would take time for him to regain his awareness and power. Then he didn't know what he would do. He had never been in the situation of being in a body with another soul. All he could do now was rest and hopefully find someway to contact the girl again and figure a way out of this mess he was in. He just fell into oblivion for the time being but his pride was a little hurt that he was bested by a mere young girl.
Himeno looked all around lazily in the hospital actually quite bored. According to the doctors, her mother, and her sister she was in a coma for almost two weeks. She has come in cardiac arrest her heart stopping three times and not breathing. She remembered her dream but it was just a wacky dream it didn't mean anything. As far as her physical condition she felt a little tired but otherwise fine but they were still making a big fuss over her. They came in twice a day to do physical exam and to take her vitals. Each time they appeared normal but the doctor was convinced she had a heart condition or something that they just couldn't find even though they had performed a cat scan, x-rays, blood tests, urine test, and a MRI. Himeno was worried but she felt fine and wanted nothing more then to go home.
"So Himeno how are we today?" Her nurse Julia asked walking in
"Good same as this morning, and yesterday, oh, and the day before that." Himeno said sarcastically.
Julia chuckled "I know you're restless hun but when you came in you were in pretty serious condition we just want to make sure everything its working ok."
"I'm fine just tired of being in here they can't find anything wrong with me why won't they let me go home?" she asked with a sigh
"Himeno everything will come in do time don't you worry." Julia said checking her heart monitor and pulling the thermometer out
Himeno opened her mouth obidently and sighed looking at her window that was darkening with the evening. Faintly her mind wandered back to the weird dream of that wolf thing. She sighed rolling her eyes but something inside just didn't feel quite right.
