Chapter 4: No Way Home.
"Hmm." I tapped my finger on the table. Mai was taking too long. I shook my head slightly and concentrated on the book. She probably met up with the others. I sighed, "Lin, check the camera's, is the one from Mai set up yet?" I asked and he shook his head.
I looked over at the empty cup of tea on the table and sighed. I looked back down at the paragraph I was reading on one of my old books and then shut it.
I then stood and walked around the table that had been set up. "Noll, where are you going?" Lin asked. I walked over to the door and looked over my shoulder, "To find Mai and set up this camera." I stated.
I slid open the door and began to walk out when a hand came down on my shoulder. I looked up at Lin, his face plain.
"She's probably fine, just talking to one of the others and she forgot to set the camera up." I sighed. "Knowing Mai, she has gotten herself Into trouble."
Lin chuckled and went back to typing on his laptop while I left the room.
~\/~
I could hear the shouting, even from here, the distress from the villagers that loomed in the air and it made me feel even more uncomfortable.
"Ye child, look at me." I looked over at Lady Kaede. She touched my chin and started to move my face around a bit. "I never thought I would see it, till this day, like when Kagome had first came." she handed me some food and I thanked her.
"Ye child, and a reincarnation, just like Kagome." I stared at the woman like she was crazy and gave her one of my, are-you-serious looks. "I'm a what?" she chuckled and then sighed and began stirring the food in the pot.
"A reincarnation, There once was a miko with such power, she was the one who created the shikon jewel., " she paused to look at me, "She was called, Midoriko. As a priestess she was well known for her amazing spiritual powers and abilities. Well, her ability to purify yokai souls and spirits, rendering them powerless." she paused again and looked over at me.
I nodded at her, wanting her to continue. "It was because of this power, she was hated." I choked and stared at her, she chuckled. "Don't worry, ye child, nothing is going to come and harm you, but let me tell you her story," I nodded and she smiled.
"Many years ago, in her final battle, Midoriko was ambushed by many yokai. The battle lasted for seven days, and seven nights, and eventually a yokai created from the possession of a mortal man, who secretly desired Midoriko and by many yokai, got her in its jaws." I nodded understanding the story.
"In one final attempt to defeat the yokai, Midoriko forced out the yokai soul and her own soul from their bodies. Both the yokai and Midoriko died but their souls where combined to create the Shikon no Tama."
"The Shikon jewel." I whispered.
"Precisely, now her soul is in you, which could only mean one thing, something big is coming." I nodded and she studied me.
"Plus, if Midoriko souls has been taken from the Jewel, then so has the demon that was also placed there." I stared at her, because I was this reincarnation I could bring on a whole load of trouble.
Why was a such a danger magnet.
~\/~
"Naraku." Inuyasha shouted. "Ku Ku Ku, so, we meet again." Naraku stated.
Inuyasha had already drawn Tetsusagia and was holding it out in front of him. Sango and Miroku where standing just behind, ready. Kagome was standing, while Shippo was perched on her shoulder like a parrot, next to Kirara.
"I was only here to say hello." Naraku sneered. "Yeah right." Inuyasha growled at Naraku who was laughing, he then looked towards Kagome.
"Try getting home now, I bet it will take longer." he sneered again before disappearing in a bundle of Miasma. "Wait," Inuyasha shouted. Kagome stared at where Naraku had just been, 'What did he mean?' she thought.
"Kagome." Kagome shook her head. "Kagome." Inuyasha said, firmly, but you could tell he was still being gentle. "I know," Kagome looked over at the well before walking over to it.
She could tell Naraku had done something to it, she could feel it. She sighed, "We better get back to Mai, she needs a explanation, and I need to speak with Kaede, I want to know Why Mai ended up here and why she had a jewel shard in her stomach." she stated to the others without looking over her shoulder.
She touched to side of the well and then turnt to Sango who had a soft but sad smile on her face. "Feh, lets get going then," Inuyasha stated sheathing his sword and began to stride away. Kagome rolled her eyes and then smiled.
"Sit boy." she whispered so only Sango could hear. There was a thud and then a growl.
"Kagome." Inuyasha shouted and they all burst into laughter, while they strolled past Inuyasha who was getting up. Kagome flashed him a playfully smile over her shoulder and then uttered two sweet little words again, causing him to hit the floor.
"Sit boy."
~\/~
"So, Kagome is a reincarnation of Kikyo and I'm a reincarnation of Midoriko?"
"Yes, my dear child, now we need to know why, you have been brought here,." I nodded slightly and she smiled, "It must be something important, but why." I nodded again.
"But if I'm this reincarnation of this famous miko, wouldn't I be a bigger threat?," she sighed. "I don't know, but we have to find out." I sighed and twiddled my thumbs for the hundredth time. "Kagome." I looked over my shoulder at Kagome.
"Mai, I-" I put my hand up with a smile. "Its okay, Kaede filled me in on everything." she chuckled and walked over and sat next to me.
"So, Kaede, why is Mai here?" she asked as everyone else piled in. "Well, I was just explaining to Mai, here. She is a reincarnation of a priestess." she looked around at everyone.
"You all must know of her, as she was the one who made the Shikon no Tama." she sighed and stirred the food in the pot. She pulled her hand away and lay in on her lap.
I looked at everyone who was looking at me, "Mai, is a reincarnation of the powerful Midoriko?" Miroku asked. Kaede nodded and everyone gaped at me.
"If ye Mai, is the reincarnation of Midoriko and Kagome is the reincarnation of Kikyo, that only means trouble around the corner and you need both of them" I glanced at Kagome, she glanced at me at the same time. I smiled slightly, she did the same, but it was a sad smile.
"Wait, a second." Inuyasha stated. "So, something is going to happen and it involves these two." Kaede nodded and he huffed and I chuckled slightly. "Kagome, you need to teach Mai, how to shoot an arrow and Inuyasha, what happened with Naraku?" she asked and everyone sighed.
"He has done something to the well, he said I won't be able to pass through it." Kagome murmured beating Inuyasha to the point. "Feh, wrench" he muttered. "Well." I looked at Kagome, she was looking sad. Was the well, the only way to get back home, what about Naru and the others.
Bou-san and Ayako. John and Masako. Lin and Madoka and Yasuhara? Am I going to see them again. I surprised myself when I stood, "I need some air." I stated and quickly walked out.
Once outside I looked and round at everyone, they were all whispering and talking and then looking over at me and whispering. It was just like before, when everyone found out about me being a ghost hunter.
I ran, just ran. I ran away from all the villagers that were talking about me, from all the whispering. I rubbed my head while I ran, I was getting a huge headache. I had just been told that, I'm a reincarnation of a priestess, that the only way home is closed off and now I have to shoot an arrow.
I ran into a forest and then tripped over a root. "Ow." I muttered but quickly stood brushed myself of and continued to run.
I saw a big tree and ran over to it. When I got next to it I saw it looked out across the village. I was getting scared. Why was I scared, it was hardly any different from back at home. I mean, I hunted ghost for a living. I got hurt on every case. I flopped down on the floor and brought my knee's close to my chest.
"What about everyone." I whispered. Was I ever going to see them again.
I missed Ayako and Bou-san shouting at each other.
I missed Naru orders and shouts for tea.
I miss Yasuhara jokes that made me smile.
I missed John sweet smile.
I missed Madoka cheerfulness.
Masako glares and the nice talks, heck, I even missed Lin quietness.
I let a tear fall and quickly rubbed it away. If I ever got back and told them about this I know what Naru would say straight away, 'Stop being stupid Mai, get hot tea.' I chuckled lightly to myself and then sighed.
I looked out over towards the village. I was here, in Feudal Japan, a reincarnation of Midoriko, a famous miko. Hey, I was another Ayako, but more well known and powerful. I smiled and then chuckled.
"I wonder what Ayako would say about that." I stated. I could see her know, 'Mai, a priestess, wow, so you also think its an earth spirit, we can both drive it out, you'll see.' I smiled again and brought my legs down.
I wonder what everyone doing know, I wonder if they know I'm gone. I sighed and played with the end my skirt.
~\/~
"Mai" I opened the door and saw the well. I walked down the steps but couldn't see Mai. I checked the camera. It was fine.
I then looked over the well and flashed my flash light down. She wasn't there. "Why would she just abandon her work?" I asked myself.
I sighed and set up the camera. I would have to find her.
~\/~
"Done, finally." Bou-san exclaimed opening the base door. A swing of ones arm and a hand hit a brown haired, monks head.
"Ow, why did you do that for you old hag."
"Me a old hag." The hand swung round again. "Ow." Bou-san rubbed his head as they walked further into the room. Masako and John followed.
Masako looking a bit pale. "Where's Naru-bou?" Bou-san asked Lin. "Gone to find Mai." he stated and went back to typing.
"Awww, Naru and Mai, alone." Bou-san whispered to Ayako and she nodded. John sat with the pale Masako who was getting worse.
"Lin" Naru voice came through the camera. "Yes Naru?"
"Is Mai there?" he asked. Bou-san walked over to the monitors. "No." Naru cursed. "Everyone is to find Mai," Bou-san sighed.
"Don't you think she might have gone to see her best friend and her family?" Lin nodded and Naru sighed.
"Someone go over there and get her, she didn't even set up the camera." Naru sighed and he walked away from the camera.
"I'll go." Ayako volunteered and left the base. The others sat down and began to talk, waiting for Naru, Mai and Ayako to come back.
~\/~
I sighed and tapped my knee.
Naru probably sat at the table in base with his black note book, Lin probably is typing. I shook my head, No Lin, is typing.
Bou-san and Ayako are probably fighting.
John is nursing Masako who is feeling faint.
I sighed. "And I'm here." I heard footsteps but I ignored them and sighed. I knew the person sat next to me. We sat there quietly, I didn't glance at the person next to me.
"Mai right?" I looked over to my side to see the girl, Kagome called Sango and the small fox called Shippo.
"Yeah, and you two are Shippo and Sango,." she nodded and Shippo smiled. "We though we would come and see you." I smiled.
"Thanks, its just..." I tired to look for the word. "Shocking?" she asked and I nodded.
"Its just, I was in Japan, Kagome world, investigating her house when I fell down the well and find out I have a jewel shard in me and I'm a reincarnation of a priestess." she chuckled and Shippo grinned.
"What were you investigating?" Shippo asked and he sat on my lap. "I'm what you could call a ghost hunter."
"A ghost hunter."
"Yeah, I work for SPR. Shibuya Psychic Research. We investigate paranormal things, sightings. Me and my friends, well you could call them my friends, but they are like my family." I smiled at Sango.
"My boss, Kazuaya Shibuya aka Oliver Davis aka Naru, is the biggest narcissist, Housou Takigawa aka Bou-san., a monk from Mount Koya, John Brown, A priest from Australia.-"
"What's Australia." I chuckled at Shippo. "Of course you wouldn't know, its a country." he nodded and I continued.
"Masako Hara is a medium, and a pain in the arse." I added and they chuckled.
"Then you have Koujo Lin, he is Naru other assistant and body guard, he is an omniojii, I don't know what that is but I comes from China, another country." they both nodded wanting me to go on.
"Then you have Yasuhara, he is a ex-client of ours and is our main researcher. A a weird one. And Madoka Mori, she is Naru old Sensei, she is lovely. They aren't my real family, but they count." I grinned and Sango smiled.
"Where are your family?" Shippo asked as her peered up at me.
"Dead, I mean, My dad died when I was four and my mum died while I was in middle school, so." I smiled and Sango nodded.
"Why don't you come back, we are going to set off." I nodded and we both stood.
"Where are we going?" I asked and she smiled. "Surely Lady Kaede told you, we go around, searching for Jewel shards, and we have many enemies, or well at least Inuyasha does." we all laughed and walked back down towards the village.
Maybe being here might not be so bad.
Oh...no way home...damn.
