The Oni in the well

The Earthling

Unknown to humankind, there are many things in this world we don't know about it, within the lines of humans and the supernatural one must know the difference between the good, the bad, and the Oni.
This story is about a young girl named Asami.
Asami was born and raised in a small town known as Shirakawa, deep within the Japanese alp near Takayama that receives large amounts of snow in the wintertime about the time for our little human to wake up.
It happens to be Asami 12th birthday. As the light shines down on her face, her eyes flutter like wings of a fluttering moth in the light. She sat up pushing the thick quilt off of her to get out of bed, she had short black hair into a cute little bob with a set of bangs barely covering her brown squinted eyes.
She wore long-sleeve red pajamas, and long pants to match slipping on her black slippers
Smelling breakfast from the bottom level of her house. She sniffs the air loving when her grandma cooks her favorite thing for her special day.
Asami looks at her self on her dresser at the large vanity mirror that sat on top of the dresser. Asami quickly brushes her fingers through her tangled hair whincing as she hit a sensitive spot jolting her up a bit slightly waking her up more.
Asami quickly turns the corner leaving her room fast, she grins as she made her way down quickly down the stair like a dog being called by his owner. Asami turned the croner to the kitchen fill with the aroma grinning at the thought of her favorite breakfast food her eldest brother Toshi flicked the back of her head taking her out of her glutton thoughts.
" happy birthday teen " he joked knowing fully well she is only still a child.
" very funny Toshi atleast I-" asami was stopped midsentence as her grandfather pats her back smiling.
" happy birthday dear ,once your done eating I have a suprise for you outside " he said as he enter the kitchen to the small four seated dinning table in the middle of the kitchen.
Asami gasped as she got excited at that thought she quickly sat down beside Toshi.
Toshi was 19 years old, black shaggy hair, Tanner skin mostly like their grandfather , he wore a plain boack t-shirt with a alien on it, and baggy black plaid sleeping pants he was a very tall man for his family height stature. He beat his grandfather height being the second tallest in the family, Toshi was texting on his phone to his ' girlfriend ' he chuckled as he did.
" whats wrong Toshi did your GIRL FRIEND text you something funny?" Asami spoke loudly about his girlfriend , he always talked about her to his friends at the school knowing fully well it was some random girl in a America using fake pictures of random people to get her brothers attention but he wouldn't budge.
" acutally she did thank you very much! Madison said hello to you all" He stuck his tongue out at the girl that sat right beside him. Grandmother smiles knowing fully well that this girl was fake too but just let him have hie fun.
Asami rolls her eyes as she then see her grandmother putting two plates infront of the kids , there that sat on the plates in front of them was their. grandmothers great recipe yet they always enjoyed om holidays , special occasions whatever the case may be. It was a old recipe passed down from generation to generation Okonomiyaki (japanese omlet like meal)
Asami and toshi stopped bickering back and forth grabbing their forks and digging in , Toshi ate fast enjoying every taste of the cabbage ,and poultry that sat within the Okonomiyaki.
Asami takes her time enjoying all the seafood and chuno sauce . Asami smiles as she muffled a sentence of graudatude.
The grandmother giggles passing both napkins calling them out on their eatting "honey come eat the Okonomiyaki is ready!" Grandmother called not knowing her husband was sitting there her vison not as well as she had back then. Grandfather chuckled " I'm right hear dear I always have " he said as he closed the newspaper folding it as he pats her arm gently helping her with the plates then stood up so he may help her to her seat that sat right beside Asami.
The four of them ate silently , asami had a small little candle in the middle they had asked her if she wished to be sang to for her special day but she politely declined fesring that toshi was going to do something to embarrass her. Toshi was a bit of a jerk in her eyes but she knew fully well that he was only doing it to joke with her, her grandmother always love watching them bicker back and forth then coming up to tell her what the other one was doing.
Toshi and Asami were the first finished they raced to the sink toshi puts his finger to his nose as stucks his tongue out he had placed in his plate first .
" you wash the dishes this time!" He laughed in joy knowing fully well of the nose goes rule they always followed by.
Asami groans and rolls her eyes she quickly washes the plates out as she stood by the sink, Toshi heads off to his room,to get ready to hang out with his friends. Asami began to wash the dirty dishes in the pale white skin her pajama sleeves getting wet in the process , she puts both plates in thr dish drainer.
A couple of minutes pass as she stays in her room getting ready to go for a walk like she normally does ,hanging out with the children in the neighborhood.
Asami puts on her long sleeve bright blue turtle neck, her white button up shirt. She carefully button each one staring at herself in the vanity mirror as she did. She then slips on her long black stockings, she then slips her long legs through her long black skirt.
Grandfather yells from the bottom wooden stairs ,Asami grins forgetting about her present that her grand father had gotten her she puts on a black and red checkered scarf.
Asami quickly turns and heads out to the hallway she quickly turns down the
stairs, holding onto the railing of the stairs passing all the family pictures of all them when they were younger , and on family trips.
Asami met her grandfather down the stairs wlaking to the front doors , as she held the door open for her grandfather. Grandfather smiles down at the small girl holding out a black umbrella.
Asami was confusing thinking that it was going to be a new bike.
" it changes colors in the temperature of the area, it turns blue in the cold, and pink in the heat" he said happily, he held out thr umbrella to her.
Asami smiles loving it " thank you papa" she thanks her grandparent, he then slips her 10692 yen( 100 dollars). " this is from me and grandma" he smiled chuckling " you can go into town and buy you some things " he chuckled.
Asmai grins, giggling hugging him tightly. " thank you!" She said cheerfully, she takes the money and puts it in coat pocket. Then about to turn away she grabs the umbrella , hugging her grandfather before heading to a tree that had her bike leaned against it ,having no snow on it already telling herself it was gonns be a good day.
Asami waves off to her grandfather before getting on her red bike, and then heads out grinning like a child on Christmas.
