Chapter 2: Lost and Found

 

“Kagome? Sota? I'm here!” A young woman stepped into the Higarashi house. She had long dark brown hair with blue at the tips that fell to her waist. Her eyes were bright emerald and glimmered in the when touched by the light. Her body was slim with an athletic build. The uniform she wore was that of Amadare* High School- with a shirt like Kagome's except with short sleeves, light blue where the white is and black where the green is. The skirt was black and went to her knees. A silky light blue bandanna was wrapped securely around her head.

 

“Konnichiwa?” The girl called. “Odd…I was sure Sota told me to come today…”

 

“So whats up, Mizu-chan?” asked another teenage girl who had just stepped into the house. She had chestnut hair tied into a ponytail that came down to the middle of her back. She had six bangs, one gravity-defying. (You gotta see a picture. I may post one.) Her eyes were lime green and glinted like a child's. She also had an athletic build and was slim. Her uniform was the same as Mizumaru's.

 

“Yugi-chan! There you are. It looks like they aren't home. How about you check the back while I check that shrine over there.”

 

“Okey dokey. I'll tell you if I see `em.” Yugi said and started towards the back of the house.

 

Mizumaru looked curiously at the shrine. After she slid its door open and peeked in, her emerald eyes fell on the well. Mizumaru crept up to it and peered into the dark abyss of the ancient well. Weird…this well gives me such a strange feeling. It's eerie…what is this premonition?

 

“Mizumaru?!?” Sota's voice echoed through the shrine.

 

“Gah!” Mizumaru gasped as she was caught off guard and went tumbling down the well.

 

“Oh no! Mizumaru, daijobu?*” The young child called into the well. “Ummm…Mizumaruuu? Konnichiwa?” Sota's sight adjusted to find that the well was empty. Hold on…EMPTY?!?!?!?!? “Uh oh! Kagome won't be too happy about this…how did Mizumaru get through to the feudal era anyway?”

 

Blinding violet and blue lights surrounded the very-confused-falling-in-mid-air Mizumaru. She seemed to float in the odd dimension until an opening to who knows where opened up below her. All Mizumaru could see was a blinding white light, then darkness. Only blackness could be seen. Maybe I should open my eyes…She thought, but do I dare? The 17-year-old groaned as she cracked open her eyelids. She was at the bottom of the well. Mizumaru blinked confusedly. (lol. confusedly- funny) Eh? Then what was all that light about? She sighed and slung her overloaded backpack over her shoulder. The girl got a hold on a sturdy vine and started climbing.

 

The sun's bright rays shone in Mizumaru's eyes. She took in her new and very odd surroundings- trees, well, grass, sky, sun, forest, little fuzzy creatures of the woods…

 

“Oooookk…this is perfectly normal…” Her eyes traveled to a very tall tree and widened. Th-that's the old tree that grows on the Higarashi property! But…how? Why? ………The well! Mizumaru leaned over the well. “Well, I think I'm in another dimension…possibly another world or time. Maybe that old shrine's well connects this world with mine.” she pondered out loud. (^_^ Way smarter than Kagome. Lol. ) “Perhaps if I jump into the well again, I'll go back. There's only one way to find out!”

 

Mizumaru readied herself to leap into the well but hesitated. She looked around at the beautiful scenes before her. This place is just so…peaceful and relaxing. Life here would seem so simple…but I have to go home! My little brother, Korimaru, needs me. I'm the only one who can take care of him since our parents died. Mizumaru sighed, but then giggled lightly. Besides, I'm the only one who can keep Yugi-chan in school and out of trouble. My world would be doomed if I wasn't there to restrain Yugi-chan! She once again got ready to jump into the mysterious well when she heard a groan coming from the forest. Actually, it sounded more like a growl and was close. Mizumaru looked from the well to the forest to the well to the forest then back to the well and sighed. “Curiosity killed the me.” (It just might. O.O)

 

The girl tiptoed quietly through the forest, weaving through trees while carefully dodging branches. She finally came to a small clearing. All Mizumaru saw was a large tree, bushes, a bloody man, a stream, more trees, grass……..a MAN?!? She gasped- sure enough there was a sleeping man covered in blood against the large tree. He was young and looked to be about 18 years old. His silky silver hair cascaded over his shoulders and onto the blood-stained ground. (^_^ C'mon, do you think I'd really kill him? ^.^)

 

Mizumaru crept closer to the mysterious man. She noticed he had two magenta stripes on each cheek and same color markings on his eyelids. (Yes, those are demonic markings- not make up!) She gasped. Am I imagining it, or does this guy have pointy ears? Is he an elf or something? Talk about a weird day! There were countless wounds all over his body and an extremely deep gash on his upper right shoulder/chest. Mizumaru stared in awe at the odd but amazing creature. After breaking out of her 2-minute trance, she broke a long twig off of a tree branch and sat next to him.

 

-POKE!- -POKE!- The twig lightly poked him on the cheek. No response. Is he dead? Oh, please be sleeping!

 

Mizumaru let out a sigh and, blushing, slowly brought her ear to his chest. -Ba-bum.........Ba-bum………- He's still alive! But his heart rate is very slow and he's barely breathing. This man is very weak and may die if he looses any more blood! Mizumaru whipped her head around desperately searching for something that could help. Her worried eyes spotted the small stream trickling behind her. Mizumaru pulled off her favorite bandanna and lightly dabbed it in the stream. She used the wet cloth to clean his wounds before going back to the stream and washing it. Then Mizumaru tied the bandanna securely around the largest wound on the man.

 

Ok, I stopped the bleeding on the major wound. The others have already stopped or will shortly. Now what? Mizumaru spotted a large leaf and used it as a bowl to carry water. She poured the cool spring water in his mouth and gently stroked his throat to help him swallow. “Lucky I took those health classes last year!” She chimed, “Now all I can do is wait for the best. After I'm sure he's ok, I'll go home. If I even can…” The girl sighed and looked around. She was tempted to explore more of this new and strange world but chose to stay with the injured man.

 

“Might as well get a book”, her backpack was resting against the tree next to the man. As she bent over, a sigh escaped the mans lips directing Mizumaru's attention to him. She stared at his flawless face. He looks so peaceful…like a child

 

The young woman brought up her hand and brushed some of his silky silver hair out of his face. Her hand traveled up to the blue crescent moon marking the hair had revealed. She gasped. That is sooo cool! Moons have always been Mizumaru's favorite objects since she was small, though she wasn't entirely sure why.

 

Though she didn't realize it, Mizumaru was slowly scooting closer to the man. She used her fingers to trace the moon on his forehead. Another thing she didn't realize was that the man's eyes were now open and glowing red.
