Chapter One:Through the Tunnel
"I'm going for a walk"I called to my Mom,heading towards the doorway with my
pet keeshond,missy beside me."Alright,Larena,but make sure you get back before
your Dad come's home"she calls back.Snapping on missy's leash,I open the door
and close it before heading towards the forest.The breeze is cold,but I can barely
feel it in my long sleeved black school uniform.My legs are cold,however,in the
matching skirt.My long red hair flows around me in the wind,and I know that my
amber eyes look dull.Why wouldn't they,after having lived this way for two years.
Missy pulls on her leash to get me to walk faster,and I can't help but smile.She's
just a puppy,so she's still pretty small and not very strong,but she's about the
only thing that makes me happy anymore.I got her two months ago,and since then
she's gone everywhere with me,except for school.My backpack is heavy,due to the
fact that I have my laptop,cd's,walkman and some other things in it.For some reason,
I just felt compelled to bring them with me.
I jerk out of my thoughts when I realise that I no longer feel Missy tugging on the
leash,and look up to see her running off."Missy"I cry,running after her.I can't loose
her!She's like my best friend,even though she's only a dog.I follow her brown/grey/black
coat through the woods,my keen eye sight tracking it easily.It's the point of actually
navigating the woods in my SKIRT that is freakin hard!I finally gave up trying to hold it
down(come on!like anyone else is around!)and dashed after my dog,surprised to find
she had stopped."Missy!Don't do that to me"I cried at her,bending down and rubbing her
head.She barked and pointed her head in front of her,clearly trying to get me to look at
something.Looking up,I am surprised to see an old entranceway.Strange,I didn't notice
it there before...I'm startled by Missy's barking and only notice her running through
the tunnel."Missy"I screech,getting up and running after her.No matter how creepy this
tunnel is,I have to get my dog!
My feet pound on the old pavement of the tunnel,and I only stop for a moment when I
reach a room.It looks like an old train station,but I have no time to think about my way,I end up in a large field that had little statues poking up here and there.Shaking
my head,I dash towards the stairs,having no time to dwell on those thoughts either.I stop
for a minute to catch my breath and lean over,panting.God dammit,if I wasn't in my human
form I'd have caught her by now!Looking around,I see no one,and so presume that it is
safe to let down my disguise.I do so in a heartbeat,and am releaved to have my excentuated
sources of sent,sight,and hearing back.Ok,I'll tell you this now so your not wondering.I'm half
fox demon,a kitsune hanyou or whatever.My real dad was a kitsune,and my Mom's human.
Ya,the 'Father' that my Mom was talking about was my step-father,who she married after my
father was kil-died.So,in my true form,I have a huge foxes tail and big fox ears.
"Missy"I call,running after her again,only this time,I'm faster.I notice my necklace has fallen
out of my shirt and I tuck it back in quickly.My Mom told me to hide it no matter what,though
I'm not sure why.Great,I lost sight of her again!Weird building's line the street that I'm running
down,and they all appear to be some sort of restaurant.Hey!I can hear Missy again!I run faster,
dashing up the steps in front of me,two at a time.I swerve to the right and stop when I see what is
standing in front of me.It's a...bathhouse?What the heck?Ok,now I'm really confused.
Wait,where's Missy!I look down from the bathhouse and set my sight line on the bridge.A
boy about my age is standing there.Oh,in case your wondering,I'm 16.He had black hair that goes
to just a bit under his ears,and his eyes are brown.My god he's handso...NO!don't think like that
Larena!I shook my head then look back and see he's petting my dog.
Ok,before he see's me,I'm hiding my ears and tail!I do so in a flash,and then he looks at me.My
eye's lock with his,and I can see that he is surprised to see me here.I walk slightly closer and eye
Missy,who is now held in his arms."Um,hi,can I have my dog back"I ask,and he seems to snap
out of a trance before looking down at Missy."Oh,she's yours"he asks,and his voice sends a
shiver down my back."Ya,she is."I say,and he smiles,handing her to me.I cuddle her to my face
before looking back up and smiling."Thanks,she got off her leash."I told him,and he waved it off.
"No problem."he said
Then his face turned serious."I'm afraid you'll have to leave now,before they find you."he says,
and I raise my eyebrow at him."Whose the...EEP"I cry as the bridge starts to shake,as well as
the ground holding it up."Get off the bridge"he shouts,grabbing my hand and pulling me along
behind him,off the bridge and back onto solid ground.The shaking stops,and I look back."What was
that"I ask,and he's about to speak,but get's cut off by something falling from the sky.A huge
demon lands in front of us,a bear of some sort,I believe."Get back demon,she has nothing to do
with you."the boy says,standing in front of me protectivly.I blink,blsuhign slightly.Great,I just met
him,and I already have a crush on him,fantastic...hear my sarcasm."Out of the way halfling"the
demon yells,using his large arm to sweep the boy out of the way.He hits a nearby tree and falls
to the ground,unconcious for the minute.I run over and stand in front of him,Missy growling
beside me."Leave us alone"I shout,and the demon chuckles evily.
"No,I have come for the jewel you protect kitsune."the demon says,and I freeze slightly.Dam!
I forgot to hide my scent.I let down my disguise,my tail swishing madly."What are you talking
about?I don't have any jewel"I cry,not noticing that the boy is starting to wake up."I WILL HAVE
THE JEWEL"the demon cries,jumping at me.Stupid thing."FOX FIRE"I cry,sending a blast
of fire at it.The demon roars,incinerating from the heat.Once it's gone,I stumble back a bit.
Why am I suddenly so tired?I hardly notice the strong arms that catch me as I fall back and into
darkness.
Normal POV
Kohaku rubbed his head,sitting up.'What happened?'he wondered,then remembered.The girl,
the demon sending him flying into the treee.'Where is she?'he thought,looking up.He was surprised
to see her standing there,her ears now those of a fox and a fox tail sticking out from under her skirt.
He was fairly impressed when he saw her incinerate the4 demon using fire.He jumped up when she
started to stumble backwards and caught her just before she hit the ground.Looking at her face,he
realised she was unconcious.Blinking,he looked at the little dog who had come over and started
nuzzling the girls cheek.Picking up the girl in his arms,the dog balanced on her stomach,he started
towards the cliff near the bathhouse."I'll get Mom to look at her."he said,the desire to know who and
what the girl was growing inside his mind.
