Chapter 4
"Yes child. You have great power. I have heard over time of a prophecy and it makes me wonder if it was talking about you." Kayede said stroking her chin. "Prophecy? What do you mean?" Mollye asked becoming even more confused than she already was. First she had power, then she was a priestess WITH great power, and now she could be a part of a prophecy? Really, only stuff like this happened in her dreams. That was all she dreamed about; saving the world or doing some greater good and then maybe falling in love in the process. She hadn't dated anyone in over 5 years. It's not like she was lonely anymore. She had come to terms with the fact that it was just going to take her longer than her friends to find someone. She had bigger plans anyways. First she wanted to move to Japan and teach English for a few years, and then she wanted to join the Peace Corps. Her entire life was revolved around helping others. It was her passion. She got immense pleasure from helping those around her who were less fortunate. "Has Kagome not told you what has come of this era? There has been much devastation." Kayede said getting a forlorn look in her eyes. "You mean more so than when Naraku was alive? How could it be worse than that?" Mollye questioned. "Keh, how could it not be worse. Naraku was just child's play compared to this thing." Inuyasha said frowning. "Indeed he was. There has been unspeakable evil walking among us. A new threat to human and demon kind alike. His name is Karma. You did not hear about him in your time?" Kayede asked Mollye who was very enraptured in her story. "No, I didn't even know demons had existed. I don't even know if they still do. What exactly has he done?" She questioned. "Karma is a full demon, unlike Naraku was. His goal is to kill all humans and take over Japan with demons on his side. He wishes to rule them. Anyone who gets in his way, he kills automatically. Many villages have been destroyed and many lives have been taken all in his name. He does not kill, he gets his demon followers to do the dirty work for him. I have gone to these villages where people, by kami's blessing, were able to escape and have heard many stories. The main one being that of a prophecy of a powerful priestess who is to come from another world and save us all. She will be more powerful than any other priestess before her, including Midoriko who as you know, was the creator of the Shikon Jewel. It is said that she will destroy this evil but that then she will disappear. This makes me believe that it is indeed you, child. You are from another world, to us at least, and you are the most powerful human I have ever been around. I believe the well allowed you to be sent here because it is your destiny."
Mollye just stared in shock. "You have to be kidding me. I can't be powerful. I can barely play tennis well! I mean I took Tae Kwon Do for about 10 years, but that's it. I could never defeat him. I have major anxiety...if you haven't been able to tell. I would probably have a heart attack and die if I saw him." She stated slumping her shoulders. She desperately wanted to help these people, but how could she? "I mean, my family would probably kill me. Wait no, they wouldn't even believe I was here. I know you probably think i'm making excuses, but I honestly don't think I could defeat him. I don't feel powerful. I started feeling funny as soon as I entered Tokyo, which is present day here, and then when I came through the well that feeling intensified. I want to help these people. I feel a great need and like it's my responsibility, but how could I when I wouldn't even know what to do?" She questioned looking at everyone. "We could help you. You wouldn't be alone. We would help you prepare. I will help you every day learn how to control and hone in your powers." Kagome said smiling. "Ye say that you felt different when you came through the well? I wonder if your body just realized you had powers as soon as you got close. That's quite strange. But I do agree with Kagome. We both being priestesses could help you the most. But we would need to get someone who knew how to fight hand to hand combat well to teach you that." Kayede said getting up and stirring the food that was cooking. She tasted it and poured some into four bowls and then passed them out as she sat back down. "Yes that would be perfect! We could get Sesshomaru to teach her combat when he comes tomorrow to drop off Rin for her weekly lessons." Kagome said beginning to feel excited. "W-Wait...Sesshomaru? So he's real too? Oh God..." Mollye said putting her bowl down.
Everyone stared at Mollye as she looked down at her lap. "So you have heard of him too then? He would be great at helping you." Kagome said seeing her face go red. "Have you ever used a bow and arrow before? I'm wondering what weapon we could train you in." She asked eating her soup. "O-Oh yeah i've heard of him. Well I was hoping that if this was all true, then I wanted to use a sword. But we don't even know if i'm the prophecy yet. How do we figure that out?" Mollye wondered allowed. "A sword? That is definitely different considering you are a miko, or so we think at least. Most miko's use a bow and arrow. I suppose we could talk to Lord Sesshomaru tomorrow and see if he'd be willing to train you as well as teach you how to fight." Kayede answered her. "As for the prophecy, we will test my theory out tomorrow after you have rested." She said smiling. I need to call my family later, i'm sure my sister is freaking out right now. They won't even believe any of this. Good lord i'm really going to get yelled at now." Mollye said pinching the bridge of her nose under her glasses. "Yeah i'm going to assume that it will be harder for them to understand since you can't just cross back over the well and go see them. You would have to fly out of the country to sit and talk to them. Just explain what you can." Kagome said giving her shoulder a squeeze for reassurance.
After dinner was finished Kayede left saying that she'd stop by first thing tomorrow and help prove her "prophecy" theory. It was dark by the time she left so Mollye decided now would be a good time to call her family and try to explain things. "Hey Mollye, I placed a sleeping mat on the floor in the other room and I laid out a sleeping Yukata for you. Tomorrow if you want we can go bathe in a hot spring, they're pretty great! I also have some extra clothes for you to borrow until we get things figured out." Kagome said showing her the room she'd be sleeping in. "Oh you don't have to go to all that trouble, but I really appreciate it." Mollye said giving her a hug. "It's no problem, really. It's good to have another female friend around. Why don't you go call your family. Me and Inuyasha are going to go to sleep now. Good night, and try not to stress out or worry too much. Just let what's supposed to happen, happen." Kagome said smiling over her shoulder as she walked out. Sighing softly Mollye headed out the door in her room to call her family. Looking up at the full moon she prayed they would understand. How was she supposed to tell them anyways? Maybe it would be best to tell them everything when she saw them again. That's what she was going to do; make it subtle.
"Hi Momma, is Daddy with you?" Mollye asked as her mother answered her phone. "Hey baby! Yeah he's right here and your sister just walked in the door. She's staying the weekend with us. Is everything okay?" Her mother asked sounding worried. "No, well yes, everything is fine I guess. Can you just put me on speaker. I need to talk to you all." Mollye said biting her bottom lip. "Okay, you're on speaker phone now. What's going on?" Her mother questioned. "Well, I already talked to Merritt earlier but i'm just going to tell you the basics. I need you all, mainly you Momma, not to freak out or cry. Okay? Everything is fine. I'm...well...i'm not really in Tokyo anymore. I'm still in Japan, but I won't be coming home for a while. In fact, I don't know when i'll be coming home. I don't have my charger with me or any clothes or anything. They..uh...they don't even have phones here so I won't be able to keep in touch. I can't tell you where I am because even if I did you wouldn't believe me. I'm fine though, I promise. And i'll try to be home soon." She finished sounding extremely nervous. Her mother always did stress her out with her constant worrying. "What do you mean they don't have phones! Autumn, this isn't funny. Please tell me you're joking. Do I need to come get you? Where exactly are you?" Her mother said crying. "Momma please, she said she was fine. I trust her so please just trust me when I say she is okay." Her sister said trying to calm their mother down. "I promise I will return soon. You just have to trust me. I will tell you everything when I see you again." Mollye said trying to ease her mothers worries. "Okay...but where are you? Can't you at least tell me that?" Her mother asked. "I...I'm not in the present anymore. I'm in the past. I'm back in time, Momma. I can't explain how because we aren't exactly sure how. But I know how to get home, there's just something I have to do first, maybe." She replied confusing even herself with that answer. "In...the past? Okay, well that makes zero sense. That's not possible. But if that's all you can tell me, then promise you'll be home soon and TRY to keep in touch." Her mother responded. "I promise Momma. I gotta go so I don't use up all of my battery. I love you all, don't forget that." Mollye said as tears came to her eyes. "We all love you too. Please be careful." Her mother said as they all said their "I love you's". Mollye hung up the phone after wiping her eyes and walked back inside the hut. Changing into her sleeping Yukata, which was softer than a regular Kimono, she went to sleep.
He stared up at the moon with golden amber eyes wondering if this was the feeling that Goshinki had mentioned all those years ago. "You will know when she comes. Your beast will understand and you will feel her presence. Once you see her for the first time, you will know; know that she is the one. The one to be your mate; your soul-mate." He had said to him almost 150 years ago. Sesshomaru did indeed feel it. He couldn't quite tell what it was, but he felt something deep inside of him. Something was calling to him. The closer he got to his brothers village, the harder it called. He had long since stopped fighting the fact that he believed that he was going to end up alone. The truth was, he didn't want to be alone. No, he wasn't exactly alone. He had Rin. But he wanted someone with whom he could share his life with. Inu demons were extremely picky when it came to their mates and they were also the ones who desperately wanted to mate. He had held off for a long time fighting at that feeling, but he could deny it no longer. He, the lord of the Western Lands, needed and wanted a mate, and it seemed he soon was going to get his wish.
