(This thread is for Soothsayer) Koneko slowly walked through the palace she and her father lived in. She never really got to check it out, with school and all.
It was still very cold outside, so she had a hoodie jacket on, fingerless black gloves, and black jeans on. She wasn't wearing her hoodie up because she was int he grounds, and nobody but her dad and Nanny were here, and they knew she had abnormal features.
Her guitar was strapped to her back, just incase she decided to play. She was use to carrying it around, besides, since she was half demon, it was pretty light in her mind.
She soon came to a part of the ridicoulasly large garden, she had not seen before.... there was a very small shrine, and next to it, a grave tomb. She walke dover, curious to see who the tomb was for. She knelt infront of it, ripping dead weeds and vines from it and brushing snow of it with her black gloved hands. "What on earth?" She murmured, any name thta had been there was worn away, so she looked at the shrine instead... it was a statue of what looked like two demons of some sort, a dragon and dog? They're front paws were tryign to touch eachother's... Wait! What was-? There was a small box inbetween them!
She leaned forwards, and touched the box, it felt like metal...and paper? She pulled it out from between them, it was no bigger thne the palm of her hand, and it had a sutra wrapped around it, sure was old though. She peeled the old soggy thing off, and opend the box... inside was a shard of glass!? "What is this doin' in there?' She murmured. She saw some writing at the bottom, maybe it would explian!
She walked closer, to get a better look, but suddenly, she heard a crack of old, rotten wood. She looked down, to see a type of lid mad eof wood with a sutra on it aswell... but-
Koneko cried out as it caved in, and she went tumbling down a hole or whatever the lid was covering. (About 10 minutes later)
Koneko blacked out when she fell, but as she awoke on soild ground... "Ouch..." She moaned, sitting up. "What happend?" She moaned, and looked around her, then above her. She saw the opening to the well... and a clear blue sky. "Hmm, funny, I could've sworn it was cloudy." She murmured and stood.
She checked her guitar, it seemed alright, but she'd have to tune it to make sure. She leape dout of the well, thanks to her demonic cat power, to get a surprise.
The place she was in now, had more snow on the ground, and there were no signs of a garden, more of a forest! Koneko blinked. "Oh great..." She sniffed the air, but everything but the trees was a unfamilure smell! She couldn't smell the exhaust of cars, couldn't hear the loud noises of the city.
"Where am I?" She murmured. Koneko sighed and sat down on the edge of the well she climbed out of. "Might as well tune my guitar before I do anything else." She murmured, then began fiddling with the guitar strings, making sure they weren't broken or something.
When she was sure they were okay, she decided to play a song before she went on. She played the tune "Love Story", singing along softly in english.

The soft tune surrounded the area where a demon stood in a clearing. He held the flute's side to his mouth as he played. Each tune and melody perfect as his hooved fingers worked on the notes. His green eyes were closed, light brown hair cascading down his shoulder as he played. Antlers adorned his head and birds called by the song perched on them. The sudden surge of power in the area made him pause and the birds quickly flew away. The demon opened his eyes, pulling his mouth area from the flute as he looked into the direction. He was having a hard time searching for what he wanted, and decided to feed his curiousity. With that in mind, he leveled the flut on his shoulder and made his way to the source.

"...Marry me Juliet, You never have to be alone, I love you, and that's all I really know I talked to your dad, It's a love story, Baby, just say yes..."
She finished the sogn and sighed. looking around. No one had come, and she didn't really like the idea of moving away from the well... atleast, not yet...
She sighed and played the "Drummer boy". But when she got to the chorus, she heard soemthign approching, and felt it. She stopped playing and stood, looking around anxiously for the sorce of the aura and noise... She slowly sat down and went back to playing, singing the lines she missed. "Little baby, pa rum pa pum pum I am a poor boy too, pa rum pa pum pum I have no gift to bring, pa rum pa pum pum That's fit to lay before a king, pa rum pa pum pum Shall I play for you, pa rum pa pum pum On my drum, On my drum..."
(I'm sorry, I HAD to put that song in, the version by Josh Groban s so beautiful!!!)

The demon's ears twitched to the songs he was hearing. Someone was singing. Singing! Oh, and such songs! Songs that he knew did not exist in such a time. Songs he had searched hard for in a time and place with so much more talent and creativity then the feudal era could ever give him. He listened, walking toward the sound as he came to the area. He had yet to see what was before him. But the song was too much for him to even think of missing. The shika couldn't help but join in.
"I play my drum for Him. So to honor Him. Mary nodded, pa rum pum pum pum The ox and lamb kept time, pa rum pum pum pum I played my drum for Him, pa rum pum pum pum I played my best for Him, pa rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum,
Then He smiled at me, pa rum pum pum pum Me and my drum..."
Throughout the sing the demon had come into the clearing, singing the lyrics before she could. He had to, how could he not? Songs from all the world, all the time, came to him and to find someone who knew them too, besides his Touched One, was something he would not miss. When the song ended he was halfway through the clearing, coming closer. He took in the appearance of the girl and smiled warmly. A half-demon, then. It mattered little, for he could find himself caring for anyone who knew such songs.

When Koneko heard someone sing back, she looked up, to see the strangest looking person she ever saw... She thought he was some sort of goat demon. But after a moment to smell his scent, and the fact he had antlers, she figured he was a deer demon or soemthing.
She played her guitar as he sang the ending, and smiled. "Hello..." She said slowly, not sure how to talk to this person.

The deer demon continued to smile. He already adored this person. He walked up closer to her, bowing to her, his green eyes never leaving her face. "Welcome, thank you for such a singing experience from one who shouldn't even know such a song. Five-hundred years too early to be known by anyone but the gods." Which meant himself, of course. He didn't know any of the others' gods that searched for music as he did. To hear her sing, he placed her in the beloved category. Someone as important to him as his own people, his father's own creations. Shika's, to be precise.

"That... I'm in the fuedal era of Japan!?" She excliamed in shock.

The deer demon frowned in confusion, taking in her reactions to his words. Surely she couldn't be so surprised. He straightened himself, looking down at her. His height was amazing, as it should be for a god, kind or not they all should be so intimidating. "It should not be such a surprise. If so, then where are you from?" he asked, looking toward the well that the power had come from. A portal? Surely his beloved could not come from another time.

Koneko wans't talking to him really, she was more trying to sort this out in her head, but she said her thoughts aloud.
"I... I live in Tokyo city Japan! I live in an old mansion at the veyr edge of the city. I was looking aorund, when I found a shrine. Then i find a small shiny stone scrap, I fall into a well, and end up in fuedal japan? This dosn't make sense!" She pulled out the shikon jewel shard. "I wonder if this had something to do with it?" SHe murmured. SH elooekd down the well and growled. "Gah! I"m so confused!" She grummbled sitting down on the edge of the well and gripping at her white cat ears gently.

The deer demon listened intently to her words and her dilemma. Oh, he couldn't have his beloved in such a state! Tokyo Japan. He knew of that placed. Filled with wonderful music of all sorts of categories. Knowing where she came from only made him smile more. "Why be confused? It is as simple as you say. Through the time of modern songs you come here through a portal in a well." he glanced at said well. They should make it more decorative, at least make it seem more time travel friendly. Only a god could find such astounding things so ordinary. He time traveled through spirit all the time, if only to learn the music of the others. The deer demon glanced at the jewel she held in her hand.
"You should not possess that." he said, pointing to it. "It is not good to have. Can you not be thankful for your songs alone then the power it holds?" he could not understand. Why have power when you can entertain so wonderfully? Why have strength when you have the gift of song?

"I just found it. Besides.. what's so powerful about a shar dof glass? It feels alittle funny, but I don't see what's speacial about it." Koneko commetned.
Koneko began to notice this guy's words ran in a circle around music... why was that? "What, are you exactly? You look like a deer demon or something." She asked slowly.

The deer demon stared at her for a moment. Just a shard of glass? Well then, he should explain it to her, shouldn't he? The only reason he knew of the shard was because of his beloved Touched One. She had a shard, and he knew everything that had to do with her. The shika decided to save the explanation of the jewel for later.
What he was, seemed like the best explanation to start at. "I am Soothsayer, and in this form I am a deer demon, a shika youkai." he looked over his form for a moment as he looked back at her. "But truly, I am the master of songs from all worlds, all eras." he gave another bow, for giving his introduction.

Koneko blinked. "You know... if I weren't a half-demom. I think I would've called you a pycho... but... I'm giving you the benift of the doubt... until I get this striaghted out more." Kitty sighed and stood. "For starters... how do I get back home?" She looked at the well in thought.

A psycho, she says? Soothsayer frowned. He didn't like such a thing being said to him. What sort of repsect was that for a god? Inlucing a beloved? He let it go for now, the surprise and changes that was in her life now allowed him to give her an excuse as he moved around the well. "Through this well of course. If it is how you got here, then it is how you get home."

Koneko blinked. "Yeah..." she looked around her. "But... I don't have to go home, right away... right? I mena, my dad won't be home for about... 4 more hours." She murmured, more to herself then Soothsayer. She pulle dher hood up, to hide her ears from view. "Might as well play it safe." SH emummble,d tightening the stirngs around the hood so it wouldn't fall off very easily.
