Kagura: You know, I was thinking about the little girl love statement, and
I realized how much little girl love sucked. I mean, it ruined some pretty
good friendships. Plus, what sucks is I'm currently the object of teenage
boy love. I have my own personal fan club. And I'm not very popular. I
never was. *sigh* Well, here we go.
Lots of internet pocky to Lady Sakura, Geminidragon, and Sushi for their wonderful reviews. No thanks to my mom who thought it was a little odd for a teenager in high school to be watching 'cartoons'. So many swears I wanted to expel at her. Anime is not cartoons. GRRRRRR!!!!

" A dragon! There's a dragon on my family's land! Ohmigod, ohmigod, ohmigod!" As Chihiro finished her tantrum, she gasped for breath.
She couldn't believe it. She always was a firm believer in the seeing is believing statement, but how do you believe this? Mythical creatures just don't shed blood in your backyard.
Chihiro had never been one to give into fanciful illusions. That was Sou's job. Sou was always reading books about spirits and gods. The closest she had ever come to reading something like that was one of her sister's manga.
But here, in the river was a bleeding dragon, it's life force slipping away rapidly.
Finally, Chihiro's initial shock wore away and was replaced by an overwhelming sense of pity. Even in its battered state, she thought the dragon was beautiful. With its hunter green eyes and mother of pearl scales, it screamed masculinity. Manly beauty, in other words.
Chihiro crept closer to the dragon, afraid to startle it. Something had to be done in order for it to live. She was a foot away from it when it gave a low whining growl.
Chihiro gently kneeled next to the dragon to touch one cut scale. It gave a growl of displeasure and snapped lightly at its back, but couldn't muster the strength to lift its head. Chihiro eyes watered. Who could have the gall to harm such a beautiful creature? With it's hunter green eyes and mother of pearl eyes, it screamed 'kirei'.
Chihiro clenched her jaw and tried *read* tried to lift the dragon's neck. Once, twice, and a third time before succeeding. She hauled it over her shoulder to where the dragon's head reached her waste in the front. And without a second thought, she slowly trudged on, searching for the abandoned farmhouse, not noticing the blood staining her fuku.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
After two hours of resting, pulling, trudging, and more resting, Chihiro found the farmhouse. Gently laying the dragon down, she slid open the door. Once that was done, she pulled the dragon in to lay on the soft grass that had grown in the absence of hay.
After arranging the dragon into what Chihiro thought was a comfortable position, she glanced at her wristwatch.
"Oh no! 'Kaa-chan and 'tou-chan will be home soon!" Chihiro was almost to the barn door when she remembered the dragon.
"Listen, I can't stay, but I'll be back later. Just don't up and die on me okay?" she said, giving one last glance over her shoulder at the dragon before making her exit.

"Hey Sen! 'Kaa-chan and 'tou-chan will be home late so. What in the seven hells are you covered in?!?!" Rin yelled at the sight of her sister.
Chihiro was standing in the tiled (a/n: in place of tatami) foyer. Blood had turned her once pristine navy blue uniform and yellow bandana crimson. She wracked her brain for a smart answer, much in the Rin did this morning. And just like Rin, she did.
"Well, I found a dying Dragon in the river, so I brought it to the farmhouse to heal.", she said nonchalantly.
Rin gave her a blank look. "I won't tell 'kaa-chan and 'tou-chan you were playing in red paint."
"Thanks Rin."
Rin returned to making hotpot. "Sheesh, you can thank me by changing and putting your clothes in the wash. Don't worry, I'll clean them with my uniform, I spilled miso on it during lunch. Take a bath while your at it, you stink. Wash your hair too. Now!"
Chihiro had just reached the stairs when a thought crossed her mind. "Hey, Rin?"
"Yeah, Sen?"
"Just where are 'kaa-chan and 'tou-chan?"
"Oh dad's company is throwing a beneficiary party, so they'll be pouring themselves in around twelve tomorrow afternoon. By the way, Minato's coming over to help me with a project. Got it?", Rin said raising an eyebrow.
Chihiro blinked twice. "I won't tell 'kaa-chan and 'tou-chan you're having a sleepover."
"Arigatou gozaimasu, Sen-hime." Rin said giving a mock bow of respect.
Chihiro giggled while tramping up the stairs.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~*~*
Chihiro hurriedly scrubbed shampoo through her brown locks, wanting to be done soon. Laughter drifted up from downstairs as she drained the tub. When Minato came over, they just had to invite Izumi who just had to speak to Satsuki. So what was a sleep over quickly became a slumber party.
Chihiro was in her sleep pants and shirt when she slipped her sneakers on. She quickly pulled a hooded sweater on, before sneaking down the hall to her parents' room.
Grabbing the first aid kit from it's usual spot in the bathroom. She put fresh batteries in the electric lantern before slinking down the stairs and out the house.
Once she was outside, she put the first aid kit in her front pocket and filled a bucket with water from the hose. She picked up her lantern and bucket and bravely trekked through the forest.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
All things considered, she made incredibly good time. Sliding the door open, the lantern's light soon filled the farm and reflected off the scales, glistening with blood, of the dragon. Knowing what had to be done, she quickly took some fabric from her front pocket dipped it in the water and set to cleaning the dragons body.
