Hello?

This isn’t home . . . Mama? Jiisan? Souta . . . ?

This is a little too familiar for my tastes.

[louder, almost with a note of desperation to it] Inuyasha?

[Silence.]

This had better not be some kind of trick!

[More silence.]

I have a test today! I don’t have time for this!! Is anyone around

I guess you're another new arrival-- you're in the City now.

[twinarrows]

The City?

Well, it does look like one.

[so_not_short]

Well yeah. That's the name of this place too, actually.

[twinarrows]

Oh.

Maybe I just somehow ended up farther away from home than I thought . . . some . . . impossible way.

I'm sorry, but I'm looking for a shrine . . .

[so_not_short]

Yeah a lot of us did.

A shrine? There might be one here, I'm not sure, I haven't really been here as long as most people have.

[twinarrows]

How long have you been here?

[so_not_short]

About a week...I think.

[twinarrows]

[A breath.]

That's not so long.

Oh -- I don't think I've said so. I'm Kagome.

[so_not_short]

Yeah, some people have been in this place for much longer than that.

I'm Otani Atsushi. It's nice to meet you too.

[twinarrows]

Otani-kun. Thank you for the help.

It sounds like I'll be here for a while whether I like it or not . . .
