Adventures with kitsunes

7 Tamiko's POV

500 years afterward

I'm not sure how long I was unconscious for, but I'm pretty sure it was a long time.

When I finally woke up, I was lying on a beach, I could feel that my shoulder was bleeding, but I couldn't tell how badly. My next action was to try to move, but when I tried to stand, my legs felt so shaky and weak. Even so, the moment I had straightened, the blood rushed to my head and I ducked down again to avoid passing out again.

Once I felt a little steadier, I stood up much more slowly. I was indeed on a beach, a deserted one, all on my own. From a quick glance at the sky I could tell that there was a storm coming. I hope she doesn't use too much lightning like last time. I thought then paused, who was she? Wait, who am i? (Identity crisis Fr)

The only thing I remembered about myself was that my name was Tamiko and that I knew how to lead and fight. Other than that... I was kind of lost.

  My shoulder was really throbbing now and I could tell I needed to treat it or find a way to bandage it. Looking around, I tried to see if I recognized my current surroundings. After scanning the shore I was on, a single sentence floated through my head, the beach below the cliff tenshukaku is built on.

  What?

Where is that? What even is tenshukaku? How did I know about it but not what it was?

A loud rumble in the distance distracted me from my thoughts, a storm was coming and I needed to find a place to regroup or hide.

  Checking the sky again, I realized I not only didn't have time to dawdle, I also had nowhere else to go. I wasn't scared easily, so it only happened once in a blue moon. But now, in a wounded and confused state, I couldn't help but feel slightly uncertain.

  There were caves and cliff walls to shelter against and the first drops of rain were beginning to fall. I began to feel light headed and my shoulder was hurting more than ever.

  My vision began to blur and narrowing down.

  "I guess.. this... is it..." I murmured incoherently before collapsing completely.

The last thing I remembered seeing was a blonde male toward me before I blacked out completely.

*(-{}-)*

    I fully expected for that to be the last time I would experience living at all.

   That was not the case however, the next time I woke I had a blaring headache and a hand that had was tingling because I had laid on if wrong.

"Ah, you are awake, I was wondering if you were planning on sleeping for another few days."

"Mmhm" I mumbled and opened my eyes to see who had spoken. It was the blonde man I had seen right before blacking out back on the beach, when I got a closer look though, I saw he had bright green eyes and an overall style of clothing that was suited for both fighting and for comfort on the wearers part, all in different shades of red and black.

"Oh, my apologies, I havnt introduced myself yet," he smiled brightly, "I'm Thoma, housekeeper of the Kamisato estate."

I was quiet, the name Kamisato also sounded so farmiliar... where had I heard that name before?
