Kari’s p.o.v.
The streets of Tokyo, Japan are always crowded and loud, and actionably I hear this word, “--happy--“ what is that? What is ‘happy’? It’s been so long… so long since I’ve felt that, and I can’t help but notice the smiles on their faces when they are ‘happy’… can I smile? It’s been years since I laughed, smiled and felt happy and meant it…. You know like my REAL smile and my REAL laugh…. Oh, that’s right my name… my name is Kari Hikomi, I’m six-teen years old and this is my story.
~Tokyo, Japan 6:30~
I ran as fast as I could away from Sly and his gang of thugs. Apparently I did something to upset them, oops…
“KILL HER!! AND GET THE FOOD SHE STOLE!!!!” Sly ordered and picked up speed, what?! I’m hungry, I was running low on steam, so I chanted
“Yōso no shōheki, Kasai! Chikyū!” the earth began to tremble and a wall surrounded with fire shot up in front of sly and his thugs allowing me to escape once again with the food “so long! Oh, and thanks for the food!!” I taunted as I ran as fast as I could. Once again I am out of a tight spot thanks to my gift! When I was a good distance away I slowly walked home, tired and sore as well as some new cuts on my arms and legs! As I was walking I came across the Higurashi shrine, stopped, looked up and exhaled “Kagome… Sōta… whatever happened to ‘let’s be friends forever! ’? I never see you guys anymore…” I shook my head at the thought and walked on only to be stopped by a voice
“Kari?!” I turned around and saw Sōta at the top of the steps of the shrine. He started to run down “Kari! Oh boy I’m sure glad to see you!!” he had a BIG smile on his face
“Oh, hey Sōta, it’s been awhile… where’s Kagome?” I said plainly and Sōta started to stutter…
“Uh-uh-uh she’s uh-not feeling well. We think she is sick!” he was hiding something, and I knew it… but I just let it be and played along
“Well, tell her to ‘get better soon’ for me would ya?” I ruffled his hair
“Ok! I will! You can count on me, Kari!” he rushed back up the stairs and I went to the ally way that I called home, settled in a box with old thrown out pillows and slowly drifted to sleep
~Tokyo, Japan 5:20 AM~
My head began to hurt like crazy! Not like a headache but it felt like something was coming out of my head… I put my hands on the two spots that hurt and to my surprise the spots were kind of, furry!
“Kōri Mirā!” some water froze in to ice which reflected like a mirror so I could see what happened. To my surprise I had grown black cat ears! I looked back and noticed a smooth cat tail to match! ‘N-NO WAY!!!! I-I’m not a cat!!! No way!!!’ my tail moved and so did my ears “nya~?!... OH GREAT!!! NOW I SAY ‘NYA’!!! just purr-fect!! Nya~!” I got up and something even weirder happened! A circle of light surrounded me and soon after I fell and was outside. Trees, grass and shrubs surrounded me “where… am..i…?” I blacked out because I hit my head pretty hard I guess
