The Beginning – Chapter Two

A/N – Hi, Aurora Daisuke here. Sorry that this took so long but I had completely forgotten that I had started this as it was a late night impulse. These blonde streaks ain't in there for nothin'. Anyway, onto chapter two, and please forgive any typo's as I haven't done this for QUITE sometime.

"Hello! Anybody home?!" A girl called into the empty house. She had just arrived but the only one there was the family cat, Buyo. She scrunched her face up in annoyance.

"First time I'm in the country for 10 years and no one's home. Just my luck, eh, Kamui?" She asked the little black wolf beside her. Said young wolf looked up to his very best friend and master and shrugged.

Maybe they're out shopping. You have to remember, we did arrive 2 hours early, Master Aurora. The girl heard in her head. Ever since she was small she always had an affinity for wolves and could even talk to some of them. She sighed.

"Good point. And don't call me master" Yes, Master. "Smartass. Well," She walked back outside, Kamui at her heels. "Let's take a look around to see if this place has changed any."

According to your grandfather, this place hasn't changed for 500 years. Kamui said. Aurora laughed.

"Well, that's grandpa. As much as I love him, I'm just glad I don't have to live with him." She said. Kamui nodded his agreement.

I hope he doesn't try to stick a sutra on me like last time. He grumbled. Aurora giggled at the memory. It wasn't funny! It took 2 hours to get it off! He barked loudly. She just smiled. Suddenly, Kamui's ears perked up and he stared towards a small shed. Aurora looked down to her friend.

"What is it?" She asked. The little wolf shook his head.

I don't know. He said. He tried sniffing the air but got nothing. It feels like there's something there but I can't smell anything. Aurora stared at him, then started walking toward the shed. Where are you going?! Kamui squeaked. Aurora turned her head.

"Well, we're not gonna find out what it is until we investigate." She said in a slightly sarcastic tone. Kamui gaped.

B-Bu-But you don't even know what's in there! It could be dangerous! He stammered. Aurora shrugged.

"Nothing risked, nothing gained." She had reached the shed door and was staring at it. She breathed out slowly and grasped the handles. Kamui yelped and ran behind her legs.

I can't watch! He wailed. She glanced down at the small quivering mass behind and glared.

"Not helping." She drawled. She looked to the doors and opened them with great gusto…only to sigh in irritation and slight disappointment.

"Kamui, you dolt. It's just the well." She said walking in. The little wolf snapped his eyes open.

What! But it feels different than it did ten years ago! He said indignantly, following her. Aurora snorted.

"Yeah, right. No more late night horror marathons for you, mister" She said as she reached the well.

But-

"No buts! Come here and look! It's just a stinking dried up old well! Nothing scary or magical about it" (A.D. – Ho, you have no idea, girlie) As soon as she finished ranting, the well started to glow that familiar purple that we all know and love. "Wh-what the hell?!" She was dragged into the well. Kamui jumped in after her yelling:

I TOLD YOU SO!!!!
