Kaoru went to check on the shrine, as his father ordered. He was running late for school, but every morning his dad had him place Sacred sutras along the entrance to the well and around the building. Kaoru had never seen the well before, not even as a small child. His father warned him to never go inside the shrine, unless he wished to be devoured alive by a powerful demon. Kaoru, now seventeen highly doubted his father's claim so for the first time he never placed the new sutras. He opened the door, cracking the paper of the previous sutras. He stepped inside, swallowing hard. The well looked rather spooky, covered in cobwebs. The rest of the shrine was void of dust but the well itself. He walked over, running his hand across the side before leaning over it and peering down.
It's a long way down.. He thought to himself.
Then he lost his footing. Kaoru fell face first down the well. He let out a scream and his eyes widened. The walls of the well disappeared and all he saw around him was blue lights and he was no longer falling, but floating. Before he had more time to react, he was in the well again. Only.. he heard birds. He looked up only to realize there was sunlight overhead. He shifted himself up, remaining quiet otherwise. His father warned him about demons and now strange things were happening.. Aside from his initial scream he didn't want to push his luck! He finally hoisted himself high enough to grab the top of the well and finally emerged from it. He fell to the grass, panting softly. He wasn't used to that kind of workout. He was a normal schoolkid. He wasn't used to his life depending on strength.
He looked around, and his blue eyes instantly widened in horror. There were no cars or trains.. He saw only trees. There were no houses or skyscrapers... There was forest as far as the eye could see.. Just where was he? He sat there frozen for a moment, but the rustling of bushes startled him. He instantly shot from where he sat and started running. He paid no attention to his direction, but he didn't want to be devoured by a demon. His father, for once, had been right and he didn't listen. In his fear, he barely noticed the light emitting from his chest and as if like a raindrop, a small jewel dripped from his chest and into his hand. It was beautiful...
Before he knew it the creature pursuing him caught up. It was a horrid goblin looking demon and it swiped for his body, only to be destroyed by a brunette woman with... cat ears!? (Aduhi :P )
"-Thanks..."But he'd spoken too soon. Not too long after that, the woman began attacking him, shouting something about a Shikon jewel. Does she mean the jewel that came out of my chest..? He thought, falling to the ground. The jewel in his hand suddenly thrown in the air. He didn't want it if it would put his life at risk. The woman shot for the jewel, swiping to grab it but hit it with her claw only. As a result from the blow, the jewel shattered and shot in every direction with amazing force.
"That doesn't look good..." And then the humanoid woman grabbed him by the collar and began shaking him.
This girl is crazy!"HELP ME!" He shouted desperately to anyone who happened to be nearby.
