My Other Half

Chapter 2

Hi, thanks for reading this !!! ^^ The cover is Sakura ( the main character, " I " in the story ) and someone that will soon appear !!! Well, I wish you like it !

--------

I realised two things when I opened my eyes. First, the pup with gold eyes ( just remarked the day before ) wasn't in my shirt, actually, it was nowhere to be found near me. Second, I wasn't on the Mount Fuji anymore. Where, you may ask ?

Well, even if you asked, I would have no answers because before me was a scenery I'v never seen before, just in old movies. I was sitting on the ground of a forest near a river. There was a bridge not too far from me and after the bridge, there was a small town with busy people and yelling merchants. People were going in and out with horses and crops. Some small children were playing in the grass not too far from where I was, at the edge of the forest. 

 So far, nothing abnormal, right ? BUT, the town was in the style of a old Japanese film and the people were wearing yukatas and kimonos. Who would wear a kimono to do laundry ? Or shopping ? The children were wearing old clothes with their hair tied back. The most surprising was the Western looking castle on the top of a hill in the middle of the town. Japanese clothing ? OK, that pass. But a castle from the West among all those things ? IMPOSSIBLE !!! The next thing would be probably ninjas and knights all over the place.

I heard a dog barking which returned me to Earth and immediately began to look for Wolf, my violin case in one hand and my katanas on my back.  I searched for an hour or so and I still couldn't find it. A feeling of loss tightened in my chest. Tears were on the edge and my whole body was shaking. Actually, I've grown fond of the little fur ball during the short time I've been with it.

" Excuse me, miss ? "

The husky voice behind me startled me. I did four things at the same time. First, I took a step back and turned to face the stranger. Second, I put my violin safely on the ground behind me and grabbed two daggers hidden in my boots in both of my hands. Third, I took a position of battle with my left leg before me and my right one behind. And then, I changed. My left hand was touching my nose, the right one near my hip, daggers pointing to the person who took a shocked expression and noticed my supernatural speed... and my blue hair falling on my back at my hips. Shit, the hat fall off ! Wait, how did he know I was a girl when the hat was still on ?

While I was thinking, he took a step back and  fell on his back because of a rock on the ground. That awakened me and in a millisecond, I was on him with one of my daggers on his throat and the second on his chest. I don't know why I didn't kill him directly. Maybe because its eyes reminded me of the pup, golden ones. He was a bit taller than me and has a muscular chest. He has brown... wait no  he has blond hair. I thought they were brown because of the mud on him but they were definitely blond. He has a strong jaw and sharp features, the kind you would see on the TV and on the face of a superstar. I sucked in a breath and released my hold on him. My hair and eyes were normal again and my body wasn't as muscular as before. 

This second of inattention was all he needed to flip me on my back and to exchange our places. He pinned my hands above my head and my legs underneath his. His head was buried in my neck. His breath on my neck reminded me of a bad memory but it was pleasant. Why is it different ? I shivered.

" Not so good now right ? Little Tiger. " he whispered.

Oh, God, he was so HEAVY !!! I need to get out of here. And quickly if I don't want to be squashed. Using my mind control, I imagined him being lifted in the air and so he did. When I got up, he was still in the air, trying not to fall and was a even more shocked expression on his face, if that was possible. It was pretty funny. I actually wanted to drop him from 100 feet to the ground but I didn't want to kill anymore people. So I threw him in a small pond not too far from where I was and, forgetting him, began to go toward the town while taking my violin still on the ground. What can I say ? Curiosity, that's all. I thought about my situation and either I should be scared or be happy. I opted for the second option because there were surely samurais or ninjas in this era right ?

I wanted to do that when I heard a small growl behind me, near the pond. The guy was not here anymore. He ran away, what a coward. I thought in disgust. Then, I saw It. It was the small pup with golden eyes. Actually, it wasn't small anymore. It was a grown wolf with its head nearly as tall as my shoulders, a giant wolf. The mud covering its fur was now gone, leaving the place to a beautiful pitch black fur, almost as dark as the color of my hair when I am "normal". Its eyes were brighter than in my memories. He was a beautiful black giant wolf. 

Only one word was in my head as we were staring at each other, him lying on a rock near the pond and me, silently standing 10 feet from him : HOW ?
