Chapter 2: Everything's changing
I opened the door and my mother came running at me. She pulled me into a big hug. She began to squeeze the life out of me.
"M-M-Mom…W-What's wrong?" I chocked
"How'd you get home?" She asked as she let me out of the death hug
"I walked. I actually want to walk home from now on."
"Oh…Okay…um somebody wants to meet you."
"Mom I just got home from school and it's my second day in Japan!"
She gave me a blank stare. I began to feel a bit confused. Does she not grasp the concept?
"Time would be nice!" I said as she figured out what I was driving at
"Oh honey…Please, he's in the kitchen."
"Mom!"
"Please…"
"How could you-"
"Please."
"Fine!"
She grabbed my hand and pulled me to the kitchen. Sitting there on a stool was a tall man. He had short ruffled black hair. He had brown eyes and wore black glasses. He had a rung on his thumb that looked a little small for his finger. He wore a black long sleeved shirt and brown capris. He saw me and jumped off the stool. He walked up to me as I turned away from him.
"Hello Yune. I'm Temujin. It's nice to meet you." He said as I gave him a very sarcastic smile that went away as fast as it came.
"Hey mom I have homework." I said as she gave me a very angry look.
"Jeez fine, I'll do it later. It's your fault if I fail math." I replied as she smiled
I finally got into my room. I laid on my bed. Jeez, Temujin was a very fast talker…I really didn't like him at all. I thought he was rude to question my opinion on things, to think I was being mean to my mother, etc. He wasn't the guy I wanted for my mother…Not at all. But she seemed to be happy so I told my mother that I liked him.
Dad…He's nothing like you at all…Why do I have to put up with meeting new people for my mom? It doesn't seem fair how she pushes me to them. Dad it's not fair! Why'd you have to go?
I grabbed my backpack. I opened it up and pulled my homework out. I began to start the mounds of work I had to do.
It's been about 2 weeks since I've moved to Japan. Kagome and me have become instant best friends. But for the past 3 days she's been gone. She's sick with some flu that's very contagious. I have my doubts but whatever.
Temujin had a business trip and left for 4 days! It's been the best days of my life! I thought he'd never leave. My mother hasn't talked to me in days though. Probably because she misses Temujin. Well I defiantly don't. That asshole is gone now and I can finally just be happy.
I opened the front door to my house and left. I began to walk to my high school.
I sat in my math class, bored as ever. Starring out of the window like Kagome always does. Man I miss her. It's boring without her to talk to.
Suddenly a major pain began in my head. I put my hands to my head and gripped it in agony. What is this pain? I have no idea why it started. It basically felt like ten kids where screaming into my ears. Just than a girl sitting next to me screamed. My eyes widened and I held my ears in pain. I turned to the girl to see what made her scream so…She was starring at me.
"What?" I asked in a scared voice.
She pointed to me and I looked down to my elbows. Black markings that looked like strips like on a tiger were coming up my arm. I put my hands down and saw that my fingernails were growing into claws.
"What the hell?" I said as I stood up.
I didn't care if the teacher saw me run out of the classroom. I had to leave. Something is happening to me. I just grew claws! This must be a scary dream. This isn't happening to me. Not to me!
I ran out of the school leaving my books and backpack there. I had my house keys around my neck so I didn't care about that junk. I started to notice that I was running a bit faster than I was ever able to before. I shrugged it off and ran faster to my house. I didn't care what happened to me next, I just want to be home.
When I got to my house, I took off my keys and unlocked the door. I grabbed my keys out of the socket and went into my house. There I saw my mother sitting on the stairs crying. I really shouldn't let her see me…not like this. She looked up and I went to the door in fear.
"Wait…Don't be afraid honey. Come here." She said as I did what she wanted
"Oh dear, I'm so sorry. I should have told you to stay home today." She stated
"Wait, you knew this was going to happen to me?" I asked her
"Why, yes…Now why don't you go get some rest. When you wake up you'll ne okay, alright? It's just a bad dream."
"This doesn't feel like a dream."
"Oh but it is. Now go to your room."
I felt suspicious of her but I did what she wanted. I ran upstairs and went into my room. I went to my mirror and gasped at the reflection that I saw. My brown hair turned white. My eyes were a bright blue color. They used to be a brown color. I had one black scar on my face, it went from my left eyebrow down to the beginning of my left cheek. My arms had the same black strips as what I saw in my classroom. My fingernails have now become claws. I opened my mouth and saw fangs. Lastly my ears had become pointy.
I began to hear a voice…Great, now my hearing has gone super….Wait…It's…M-My mother's voice.
"Temujin, you got what I asked you to get right?...Great…Where did you put it?...She's becoming a white tiger demon…Just like her father…It's her true form, yes…I will renew the spell that way she can live a normal life…The demon that she is will be locked up….I am a priestess, this what I was made for Temujin…The spell could possibly kill her, yes…But it worked last time so it doesn't matter…" I heard my mother say to Temujin on the phone
…So…I'm a demon? Daddy was one?...Mom's a priestess? What should I do?...I want a normal life, but do I want to stay as my true self? I always thought that if you never lived you life as your self that you would be living a lie...which for 14 years I have been…Do I want to continue living as a fake?
I shouldn't…live like a demon…I began to hear my mother coming upstairs. She's going to take me away…the real me…Away forever…No! I won't live a normal life. No matter how many spells they put on me they will wear off…I want to live as my true self…I'm sorry mom but this time I won't do what you want.
I went to my closet and grabbed my dad's sword. Just in case I need it for self defense. I opened my window and jumped onto my roof. I heard the door handle turn. I jumped off the roof and fell into a couple of bushes. I stayed down to the ground, keeping low.
"Yune!" My mother screamed as I made sure she couldn't see me.
I looked through the bush and saw my mother look angry. She left and I got up from the bushes. I began to run down the street at full speed. I could hear her scream my name again and I knew she was going to chase me. Is she afraid I'm going to hurt someone? No I won't! If I'm going to be a demon, I'll be a good one, a caring one. For some reason even though I'm a demon I can still feel…That's probably because my mother is a priestess.
I ran until I saw this large property. I was someone's house but in the back was a shack. I ran into the shack and looked around. I saw an opened well and I looked down the well. I heard my mother scream my name once more and that was enough for me to jump into the well. I felt the rocks hit my feet. I heard the door to the shack open and I began to feel scared. I think…she…wants to kill me…
"Yune, please don't make this harder on me than it already is. Come out." She said with a bit of anger in her voice.
I didn't want to…somehow…I knew she didn't want to renew the spell…Somehow…I knew she had a weapon and she was ready to kill her own daughter with that weapon. I need to disappear…I wish I could go to a place where she can't find me…Where I could live in peace…
I felt the dirt beneath my feet disappear. I looked down to see a bright blue sky. I fell towards it and I looked up at my mother. She held a bow and arrow in her hand. She shot it at me. The arrow pierced my right arm and than the end of the well closed up. My mother was gone…and now I'm falling towards some place…I felt my eyes being to drop…My eyes closed and than everything went black…
Father….
