Hey guys, welcome to my new Inuyasha fanfic. I actually got the idea for this quite a while ago, so I have absolutely no idea why the heck I typed up this chapter in the past half hour and decided to put in on . Call it one of my many random qualities. The point of being a writer is to be random right? Well it should be.
Anyway, just read this and see if you like it.
Ch. 1
"Hey, wait up!"
Shizune turned to the voice with hopeful eyes. A girl ran toward her waving her arm as if trying to get her attention. Shizune slowed to wait for her.
The girl ran right past her.
Shizune lowered her head in embarrassment, letting her dark hair fall over her eyes. She should have known better than to get her hopes up. She could be such an idiot. Why would anyone even consider talking to her unless it was to cast an insult? Shizune just sighed and distracted herself with thoughts of how she would do her homework tonight.
Rounding the corner she heard a familiar rhythm of giggles and chatter. Her view rose from the ground and ahead she spotted them, the group of nasty, manipulating girls in short skirts. Quickly lowering her head in the "I'm invisible" position she made a quick u-turn and walked in the other direction, deciding it would be better to take the long way home today.
After going around the corner once more she heard the group of girls go silent, then exchange a few words in hushed tones. Knowing what was coming Shizune quickened her pace while still trying to look oblivious to the other girls' presence. She could hear a series of footsteps clicking menacingly behind her.
"Hey Shizu! Wait up!" one of them called in a tone of forged kindness.
Pretending not to hear them she walked faster. Behind her she could hear them speed up as well. As they started to catch up Shizune broke into a run. The girls followed suit.
Shizune raced blindly down the sidewalk and through the streets, but the girls just wouldn't give up. She passed many people who glanced at the situation, but turned away, caught up in their on problems. Just as Shizune rounded another corner she spotted a large set of stairs going up a steep hill to her right. She bounded up the steps three at a time and arrived to what looked like a shrine at the top. Peering back she saw the girls coming up the steps, though they were much slower in the process.
Not wanting to waste the opportunity Shizune looked around for a place to hide and possibly wait the them out. There was a house, probably not a good idea, people lived there. The giant tree? No, that would be the first place they'd look. Near the tree she spotted a small wooden building. Nearly out of time she ran in and closed the sliding door behind her with a relieved sigh. She would just wait here until the giggly group left and then carefully take a long detour home.
Shizune finally looked up to take in her surroundings. The small temple was dark and musty. Shizune walked down the small flight of steps and peered cautiously over the edge of the well, barely able to see the bottom in the darkness.
"Hey guys, let's check for her in here!"
Oh no. This wasn't supposed to happen. They weren't supposed to find her!
Shizune spun around and stood there in fear as the footsteps approached the temple. She took a small fearful step backwards, as if that would help. Unfortunately there was no step to take backwards, instead there was the well, which, in a frenzy of panic and fear, Shizune bumped against and somehow managed to fall into. Falling head first she waited for the crash that never came.
The wooden doors hurriedly slid open, pouring light into the dim room.
Empty.
"Idiot, I told you she wasn't in here," said on of the girls as she bopped the other on the head.
Sorry this chapter was a bit short, I plan to make them longer in the future, but this was just a good place to leave off on this one. Just consider this chapter as more of a 'setting' than a chapter.
Please comment if you want to me continue writing this fanfic. I promise I'm going to try to not make this as predictable as it sounds.
