Kitsune, like the others, downed her dose of the liquid only to find that it didn’t have quite the same effect on her. This was most likely due to her altered metabolism, so she grabbed another shot and downed that as well. That had the desired effect of knocking her right out and tossing her consciousness the same way as the others. At first nothing happened to her mind, then, everything grew incredibly heavy, then it felt like she was falling from a great height, which… When she opened her eyes… She was! But when she hit the ground, it wasn’t that she died from the impact, or even got injured, it was that cartoony moment where you punch through the ground, and drag all the scenery with you, as if it had been a cloth background getting pulled through a hole, to leave only nothingness behind.
So there it was. Darkness. All around her. Now see, for most people they’d just close their eyes and wait for a light. Kitsune? Not so much. She had once before been stuck in a darkness like this. And she knew, if she stayed still for too long, the… thing… hiding in the darkness would devour her whole. It was as if she was reliving her worst nightmare, being dead all over again. It was one of the traumas she had only spoken to one person about before, and at the time, that person didn’t exactly seem interested in listening to it. Who would after they had just been told, that the person that adopted them, had done absolutely nothing to save the leader of the village? And Kitsune didn’t blame Kahako for it one bit. She wouldn’t have listened either.
Then, sudden brightness, filling out every point of Kitsunes field of vision. A much welcome relief from the tar-like restraints of the utter pick black darkness. She looked around, seeing Kahako and Ayumu on the couch with her. This seemed like the beginning of a TV-Show couch gag, but no. Ayumu seemed as confused as Kitsune, and she couldn’t blame him for that, this was an all-together surreal experience. Kinda like an acid trip gone bad. Or an episode of ‘Don’t Embrace Me I’m Frightened’.
Then, the first turn of the knob. Suddenly they were in a desert, drying up like meat on an open grill attended by an imbicile. Then, the second turn. Boom, ocean everywhere. Icy cold waters, momentous pressure, and deeply darkened depths. Then… The third turn. And they were in a forest. I hate channel surfing! was the only thoughts that came to mind for Kitsune after that rapid change in scenery. She blinked a few times after realizing that they were now in a forest, and that there was a Satou walking right towards them.
Then, a series of events occurred, ending with Ayumu drawing his sword and giving orders, spoken like someone that was used to being obeyed. Which, wasn’t exactly odd, considering his position as Main Branch sennin. Kitsune cracked her neck and took up a combat stance, ready to fling mental assaults as well as fiery doom upon the enemies that dared come closer to Satou and the little girl.
