x-X-x

Kagome looked at the tree in wonder, she didn't know trees could talk. Blinking she thought, 'I guess you learn something new everyday.' She looked and saw none of the others were reacting to it, so maybe she was the only one who heard it.

She shook her head and let herself be pulled through the tree opening and the open area where villagers were gathering. They looked at them with hate and disgust, as Kagome and Jake were pulled farther and farther in.

The size of the tree on the inside amazed both Kagome and Jake, the light of the cook-fires giving light around the room. In front was a vast cylindrical gallery, a living cathedral. There were clear membranes, filled with bioluminescent insects acting as area lighting. The central space had an enormous skull of an enormous creature, adorned with embroidery on a totem. Standing in front of it was another Na'vi, probably the clan leader from his posture and the long chest mantle decorated with claws like the Thanator they had ran away from earlier.

Kagome watched as the leaders stern features clouded over with anger, disgusted that the two of them, dream walkers, were in his home.

Neytiri greeted him, stepping ahead of them to do so, "Father...I see you..."

Kagome blinked as she heard the langaue again, she still didn't know how was it she could understand them, her frown stayed on her face as she watched the man Neytiri called father walked forward to get a better look at us. By the look of his face he was still not liking the idea of them in his home.

He turned to his daughter, his voice clear as it sounded through the Home-tree or the Kelutral as Kagome remembered it was called in the learning guide, " These creatures, why do you bring them here?"

"I was going to kill them, but there was a sign from Eywa," Neytiri answered, not backing down when her father glowered at her as he responded, pointing at Jake and Kagome, "I have said no Sky people will come here, to offend our home! Their alien smell fills my nose."

Hearing this Kagome slightly twitched, thinking 'smell...well sorry.' Turning her attention back to the two she watched as Neytiri stayed silent for a couple seconds before answering. in a respectful but non-submissive voice, "Father, many Atokirina have come to these aliens."

"What's going on?" Jake asked Neytiri, voice filled with confusion and curiosity.

Neytiri turned to him, frown adoring her face, "My father is deciding whether to kill both of you," She was blunt when saying this as if it was the most obvious thing.

Shocked at her reply, Jake exclaimed, "Your Father?" Jake turned to the male leader that was in-front of them, offering his hands in a hand shake, "Uh, it's good to meet you, sir."

Kagome looked at him wide eyed, as he took another step forward, 'Is he that much of an idiot!' her mind screamed, as he was quickly restrained by hunters, shouting at him. Inwardly groaning Kagome just stood back, Jake seemed to be getting into trouble no matter what. She should of told him to stay still and don't talk unless spoken too. Sadly, she didn't.

Everyone in the Home-tree froze as a commanding female voice sounded through it, "Step Back!"

Kagome looked up to see a female Na'vi, staring down from the second level. Her outfit was elaborate, signifying her rank as the Clan Matriarch, clad in a red upper garment, "I will look at these aliens."

There is an expectant hush as the female descended the almost natural spiral staircase.

Kagome turned to Neytiri as if asking who she was. "That is mother. She is Tsahik, the one who interprets the will of Eywa," Neytiri says seeing the question in Kagome's eyes as she watching her mother came towards them.

Jake frowned asking, "Who's Eywa?" Kagome almost slapped her forehead, had he known absolutely nothing before coming out here. She had read the manual and information guides before she did, and from the looks of it he didn't bother with any of it!

'Men!' she thought, rolling her eyes as she watched Neytiri kneel before her mother like an acolyte as she passed. The villagers stared silently as she circled slowly around Jake and Kagome, checking their tails and the ends of their queues.

Kagome saw that the woman look at her with widening eyes for a couple of seconds before going to Jake, and looking over him. A couple more minutes of looking them over the woman asked in a thick accent, "What are you called?"

"Jake Sully" Her eyes then went to Kagome's waiting for her answer, "Kagome" She didn't really want to give her last name, it was too long, so her first shall be enough.

"Why did you come to us?" The woman asked the two, dream walkers hadn't stepped foot into the home-tree since the 'incident' at the school.

"We came to learn," Kagome whispered in a soft subdued voice, but it was loud enough for everyone to hear. She didn't want to start anything that could have them on the other end of a spear.

The woman frowned at the two, replying, "We have tried to teach other Sky People. It is hard to fill a cup which is already full."

Jake gave a small smirk, "Our Cups are empty, trust me. Ask Doctor Augustine. We're no scientists,"

Kagome laughed slightly, seeing the looks they were receiving. They had thought they were scientists, that would make sense. Scientists did seem to have a hard time learning things out of their environment.

"What are you?" Neytiri's father asked, voice clearly curious.

"I don't know. I am a Marine, uh, warrior, of the Jarhead clan," Jake responded, but didn't get to say much more before getting interrupted.

"Warrior? I could kill him easily," Tsu'Tey bellowed, taking a step towards him clearly ready to do what he claimed.

Neytiri's father held him back, retorting, "No! These are the first warrior dream walkers we have seen willing to learn. We need to learn more about them!"

"What is going on?" Jake whispered to Neytiri. He were ignored.

"And you? You are not a warrior?" The woman asked Kagome, but to Kagome it was more of a statement on the last part then a question.

"No." She started, looking at the Na'vi woman in the eyes, "I am...I guess you would call it, a healer." Which was partially true. She was a miko, and miko's are natural healers.

The woman gave a small smile before turning to Neytiri, "Daughter. You will teach Jakesully our ways, to speak and walk as we do."

Neytiri looked shocked, then angry, "Why me? That's not fair! I only-"

"It is decided!"Neytiri caved, turning to glare at Jake.

Neytiri's mother turned to her next, "As for you..." She paused before glancing around the room, "You will have two teachers."

The room broke out in whispers as she continued on, "You are a Swok 'ite, and as such you will be taught by me as well as a fellow healer of our clan."

Kagome didn't know what she mean by the name she gave her, but nodded in understanding as she turned to her daughter again, "My daughter will teach you our ways. Learn well, Jakesully. We will see if your insanity can be cured," she turned to her daughter, "He is your responsibility."

Neytiri nodded but she was not a happy camper. She grabbed Jake's arm, pulling him roughly threw the crowd, leaving Kagome behind. As they left Kagome smiled hearing the last bit of their conversation.

"So it's all good, right? You and me-"

"Do not speak."

Turning to the woman in-front of her she gestured for Kagome to follow her. Doing so Kagome was lead up to the second floor where the woman had first come out of, and into a room.

"Kagome, Swok 'ite, we have been waiting a long time for another like you to come." Kagome blinked, she didn't know what she meant exactly.

"What do you mean?" Wanting to know why she was so different from Jake and the others that have come here.

Smirking the woman turned her back to her rummaging through some things before continuing, "You are a Swok 'ite, which means Sacred Daughter. The daughter of Eywa." She turned around facing Kagome, a pile of clothes in her hands from the look of it, "We will talk more tomorrow, for now change. Then we shall go join others for the Night meal."

Kagome nodded, taking the clothes from her, "Thank you..." She paused, not knowing what to call he woman, "...What shall I call you?"

"Mo'at." was the short reply, as she showed Kagome to go dress.

Getting dressed in her new clothing Kagome held back a blush, thinking, 'I guess I will have to get used to their clothing...its rather revealing to my own clothes.'

The clothes were different from what she saw everyone else wearing, it was a brownish gold color and came in two pieces. The top reminded her of a bikini top, it went around her neck and came down and covered her breasts. The bottom was was long in the back, it went to her ankles, but in the front it went to her upper thigh, just covering her private area. She also had jewelry to go along with it, two that go on her legs, two for her arms, and one head piece.

Kagome sighed questioning herself silently, 'I can never be normal...can I?' Then continued to finish getting dressed.
