Chapter Fourteen - Dream II
"Wait… if that dream was actually a memory, then…" Kagome came closer to him and to his dread moved the piece of hair that covered his missing ear. "You are really missing an ear."
George's expression hardened and he quickly removed her hand. He hadn't bothered with his missing limb for some time, but for unknown reasons, he didn't wanted her to discover his flaws.
"I should be offended, I mean, Saintlike? Tch…" She said shaking her head. What she dreamed, about the whole event or just his joke to Fred? He was relieved when Kagome said nothing more.
Something clicked inside his mind. "How's that you are dreaming of MY life? First, something that happened almost ten years ago, then this."
"You wouldn't believe me."
"Try me. My beliefs have been tested for sometime."
"Do you believe in Gods? Powerful beings above us."
"I can't say I do, but I never un-believed them."
"Here in Japan, we have two major religions: Shinto and Buddhism. I had a friend that was a Buddhist Monk and I am a Shinto Shrine Maiden, a Miko, Priestess if you like. My family runs a Shinto Shrine devoted to Inari Ōkami, the fox god of prosperity and fertility." George motioned her to continue. He was really interested in knowing more about his friend. "The Higurashi family comes from a long line of priests and priestess, my grandfather is the current priest of our shrine."
"That still doesn't explain your dreams."
"Me being a priestess means Gods have blessed me with gifts. I see ghosts, I can feel auras. I would probably easily differentiate you from your brother, as no two people have the same aura reading."
"Wicked! And what else you can do?"
"Are you joking me or you really believe what I said?"
"Of course I believe! Why wouldn't I?"
"Well, people at my school weren't so open minded... Anyway, I guess it somehow is making me see your life through dreams." She looked down and bowed, much to his surprise. "I'm sorry! I don't know why or how I am doing this."
"It's ok, really, it's not like you are doing it on purpose, right? And I have nothing to hide." George saw no problem at all. If she somehow find by herself about the Magical World, he wouldn't be breaking the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy, right?
It was never stated which deity Higurashi Shrine was devoted to so I took a safe route.
George is clever as ever.
