Chapter 1
Slain Dragon
It was snowing in the forest outside of Karakura town. In the early morning.
The snow already on the ground covered up the path from Maki's cabin to the area where she collected firewood. She walked down the snowy path. Maki didn't need a big bulky coat since she was used to the cold, so instead she wore a grey jacket. If fact she learned to love it. Removing her hands from her jacket pockets she raised them upwards, palms facing up. She had black fingerless gloves on. With each snowflake that fell on her hand a small white spot appeared against the black color, then quickly vanished.
Gazing up at the cloudy morning sky, she stuck out her tongue to catch the newly falling snowflakes in her mouth. A few minuets passed of trying to catch the tiny snowflakes, then Maki stopped and returned to walking down the path. A small breeze blew gently past her face. Thanks to the hat she wore on her head, the breeze could not push her short brown hair back.
Walking through the snowy path, Maki's dark grey jeans began to dampen at the bottoms, so she stopped and rolled them up a few inches, revealing her black snow boots. On her hip was her bag, and in it was her hatchet.
Maki breathed in the cool air." Ah, now this is very nice. Nothing beats a snowy day like this."
She enjoyed the snowy days in the forest. Even though the trees were far apart, you can see a good distance away. Everything was white, like a winter wonderland! Just the way she liked it. "I wish it stay like this all year long. Maybe I should move farther north..." She stopped.
Something was lying in the snow. There was an oddly shaped bump, covered in snow. Maki stared at it. Curious she walked over to it. After she was right next to it she poked the bump with her boot. It was soft, now she realized what it truly was- a person. Maki knelt on the ground and began to uncover the snow. As the snow began to be wiped away, it revealed a boy. She scooped the snow off him faster. "No, no, no!" she whispered.
Now the snow was mostly off, it revealed a freezing boy. He was slumped over on his stomach. There was no apparent wound on him, but Maki turned him on his back to check his pulse. "Don't be dea,." she begged.
Maki didn't know him, but she didn't want to have a dead body on her land. She didn't want to deal with that at all. The brown haired girl was trembling, and the cold weather only made it worse. She tried to relax, but it wouldn't stop. Soon her frustration won. She zipped his jacket off and placed her ear on his chest. Carefully she listened for a heartbeat. Nothing. Instantly and with out a thought Maki opened his mouth. "Good, his mouth is empty," she murmured to herself.
Then she pressed her two hands together on his chest. Then she pushed up and down. Matching her arm pounding with her heart beat. "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, " she whispered after every push.
Then after the tenth she stopped and pintched his nose shut. Taking a deep breath, Maki placed her lips on his. They were chapped and icy against Maki's warm soft lips. She breathed into his mouth, forcing air down his throat and into his lungs. With any luck he would begin breathing again.
She continued this, on and on for what seemed forever to her. When it was only ten minutes. Maki refused to stop. She had to at least do something, instead of being worthless. Maki stopped, and placed her ear on his chest once again. Listening, a small heart beat was pounding in his chest. She raised her head back up and wiped her forehead. "Thank goodness. He's alive," she panted.
She was exhausted from too much work in the cold. Its one thing to work in the summer, but another to do hard labor in the winter. If you sweat you can get hypothermia. Once she caught her breath again, she placed her hand on his cheek. It was cool, almost as cold as the snow. Maki blushed. She hadn't realized when she was saving him, but he was quite handsome. The white haired boy seemed so peaceful asleep.
Though his skin was tan, his hair was a pure white. He must of dyed it. The white haired boy was wearing a plain white tank top with a green baggy navy jacket. Loosely around his throat was a soft blue scarf. Maki hadn't noticed but his slightly tight dark blue jeans only went down to his ankles to reveal the brown snow boots covering his feet.
Maki broke from her trance and started to think of what to do next. " The hospitals three hours away. I don't think he'll last that long. My cabin's only thirty minutes away by foot. Yeah I should take him home..." she trailed off.
The very phrase 'take him home' seemed to disturb her. At least he wasn't awake to hear it. Maki stood up and looked around, wondering what had happened. But she soon stopped looking around. Maki tried to pick him up. "Ugh. Why do you have to be heavy?" she moaned.
Truth was he wasn't really heavy. Maki was just a weakling, when it came to lifting things. She heaved him onto her back, almost falling over. "This is much harder than I thought it would be. Stupid movies with their making it look easy," Maki groaned.
Slowly she started to walk back up the path to her cabin, while carefully holding the boy on her back. Unbeknowist to her, a monster spotted them both and came towards them. It was ready for the hunt.
*I hope you all can read this. Is it spread apart far enough?*
