The sudden shift of the apartment complex's soft white lighting to Tokyo's dazzling neon display of lights advertising various thinks nearly blinded me. But, my eyes were able to quickly adjust, and I set off, following the directions my biju was telling me to take. I felt very out of place here in the city. I often longed to go back to where the first me lived... and died. That little girl... lost in the bamboo groves... who died, alone, and was not missed. She was able to cling to life a bit longer and so she became the biju sealed inside of me. Her resentment towards the human race has burned brightly in my blood-red eyes for the longest of times.
A voice in my head quickly snapped me back into reality. "This is not the time for viewing the world in retrospect, Asuka." My eyes widened. It was her. The one who set my soul free... Chishio. She hasn't talked to me in months, so tonight there must be something important that will happen.
"Can you feel it?" she whispered.
"Feel what?"
"There's been a change in the scent of the air around here. There's something here... and it's definitely not human nor animal. I smell... a demon or something of some sort..." her voice trailed off.
Suddenly a strong chakra prescence hit me like a tidal wave. This was surely another biju. At first I pondered, how in the hell could a biju have this much energy? And then it hit me. There were two of them. How very interesting. Perhaps they were members of this club that I had joined. Chishio, I'm thankful I have you as a part of me...
I could barely make out what animals these biju were. I cursed myself for not training enough to be able to sense energies perfectly. Then, I was able to pinpoint one of them... a crow. She was within 10 meters of where I was. The other one was walking beside her... ah! A weasel! Before I could do anything else, my eyes met the crow biju's. I guess I couldn't slither my way through the crowd back home now...
I was slightly caught off guard when the girl spoke. "Are you a panda biju?" she asked. I shot a suspicious look at her, but nodded. "That's so kawaii!" she blurted out akwardly. Perhaps that was her biju saying that... whatever. "Why would you care if I'm a biju or not and no me being a a red panda biju is not kawaii." I shot back. Then the weasel biju came up alongside the crow girl. "You must be the new member of the club," he said. "Yes," I replied. "My name is Asuka and it isn't very polite to just walk up to someone asking if I was a biju." My eyes narrowed.
The girl shifted uncomfortably. I could tell that my attitude was making her nervous. I ignored her and turned my attention to the weasel.
"Who are you?" I asked him.
"I am Raijuu and this is Kokoro. We're members of Teh Biju Club, like you."
Good. I wouldn't have to fight them. Not that I would win anyway... "Well, it is nice meeting you." I said, and forced a smile. Hopefully they couldn't tell it was fake... "Would you like to come and walk with us?" Kokoro asked. "Thanks, but I'm very busy tonight. I was just in the middle of running errands when I ran into you guys," I lied. "Oh, okay. Well... goodye, then," Kokoro said, and they walked off in the other direction.
Should I have gone with them? My thoughts were conflicted. Suddenly, before I could stop myself, I was running after them. "Wait! I want to come with you!" I yelled. They stopped and turned around. Oh boy. What have I done...
-Somebody please continue,continue,continue!-
~Asuka
Sorry it took so long! I hope it isn't too lengthy...
