Chapter 6:Destined One

Inuyasha suddenly looked thoughtful. Had he really found his place back in his old world? He couldn't remember much but he remembered that he gave up his old dream of being a full demon. But why? For what? For who? His head started to hurt again but this time, he had a vision of a black haired woman but she split into two. One was the same age as him with a cheerful smile while the other was the same age as Vanessa but there was a look in her eyes filled with intense pain.

"What's wrong?" asked Vanessa nervously putting her hand on his back.

"V-Vanessa?"

"What?"

"Am I going crazy?"

"What do you mean?"

"I was thinking, then I saw a vision of a woman splitting in two. One was the same age as me and one was just as old as you. What does it mean?"

Vanessa unconsciously drew back her hand.

"Want me to give more spoilers about your old life?"

"...Sure. I guess, I'm gonna go back to it, aren't I?"

"That person... Is your destined one." said Vanessa looking thoughtful.

"W-What?"

"No matter what form that soul takes, you love that person and would do anything to protect her. The soul was split in two, existing in two forms at the same time. Because of that, you are torn but your love for both is genuine. People get upset at you because you're indecisive..."

"So wait, I'm a two-timer?"

"Not to me, you aren't. The one who looks the same age as you, you haven't confessed properly to her but...She gets upset at you even though she knows just as well as I do that you still love the woman the same age as me...The original form of Ms. Higurashi."

Inuyasha was utterly dumbfounded. So the reason why he had a crush on Higurashi Kikyo was because she was his destined one? Was she the reason why he gave up his old dream?

"I just think of it as you loving the same soul." Vanessa said, not wanting to explain anymore for some reason.

"Vanessa, I never fulfilled my dream of becoming a full demon. I'm not even sure if I really found my true place in my old world...I thought of that then I saw that person, those people. I-I'm not even sure of anything anymore..."

"What do you mean? Are you hesitating?"

"Well, I'm criticizing you for having normal dreams but then... I haven't really fulfilled any of mine, have I?"

"Inuyasha." Vanessa called his name with a serious tone.

"W-What?"

"You...Are someone who never gives up. If you gave up that dream to be a demon, it was for a good reason. You can make your own place in the world. You said it yourself, you have the guts to try out. If it doesn't work out , then it wasn't meant to be but if it does, that means you do have the ability. So...Don't lose sight of yourself, ok?"

Inuyasha stared back at her and his determination was strengthened once more.

"Y-Yeah, you're right...Thanks."

A moment of silence passed once more albeit with a more pleasant atmosphere.

Vanessa craned her head to look at the stairs once again.

She saw a girl with long black hair and a little tail tied at the top with a ribbon that complemented the frilly dress she was wearing hopping down the stairs accompanied by a man who was the spitting image of Danson Tang in a black suit and tie. That girl was definitely Rin.

"Who's that?"

"Oh him? He's A-Un, Sesshomaru's two faced bodyguard."

"A-Un?!" asked Vanessa in a shocked tone.

"What now?" Inuyasha asked in an irritated tone.

"...Nothing..."

That was A-Un? This was surprising to Vanessa since his true form was a two-headed dragon demon who, in her opinion, was even more unimportant than Kilala. If A-Un was a set of conjoined twins or even a horse, it would make sense to Vanessa. But no... He had to be a good looking human bodyguard. There were two sides to everything and A-Un's form was an issue that Vanessa had with the world's distortion.

"What do you mean by two faced?"

"...Right now he's in bodyguard mode so he doesn't smile but he has a creepy smile when he works as Sesshomaru's secretary."

"Ach!"

Hearing Inuyasha's description of A-Un only increased her dissatisfaction with the two headed dragon demon's distorted self.

"I know, creepy right? Luckily, I don't see him all that much."

Vanessa nodded her head in affirmation.

Then the bodyguard who looked like Danson Tang opened the door for Rin.

"Thank you A-Un!"

A-Un only grunted as a reply and his stiff expression didn't seem to change as he closed the door. Rin waved bye at him and he simply nodded, then he hurried back up the stairs.

"Hello Jaken-san."

"Rin, you are an absolutely incorrigible child!" said Jaken as he started the car.

"What does incorrigible mean?"

"It means that you are beyond improving!" Jaken yelled as he began driving.

"Why do I have to improve myself anyways?"

"Because you are a constant bother! You came to Sesshomaru-sama's workplace when you were of no use whatsoever..."

Rin cut in "But I only wanted to see what his workplace was like and Sesshomaru -sama said it was fine!"

"Even so... You still became a bother since there was nothing left for you to do and I had to go pick you up!"

Rin pouted then Inuyasha started to retort " Now... Jaken, I wonder if you're really in a position to continue insulting the girl..."

"Why you..."

"Just be a good butler and do your job properly and I won't say anything... Yet..."

Jaken just continued to growl while Rin was smiling.

"Why do you pick on the girl, anyways?" asked Inuyasha.

Jaken thought to himself "Oh... Ever since that child came into the household, Sesshomaru-sama doesn't pay attention to me anymore!"

"I rather not say anything unnecessary." grumbled Jaken.

"Oh? Well I see you finally understand your place."

Jaken continued grumbling while Rin arched her head in Inuyasha's direction and saw Vanessa with Luna on her shoulder.

"Ara? Inuyasha-sama, that person is?"

"Uh...She's..."

"Could it be that she's Inuyasha-sama's girlfriend?" Rin asked with a glee-filled tone , clapping her hands together.

"No! S-she's just a friend!" Inuyasha refuted while blushing. At the same time, Vanessa dropped her head back down and her cheeks reddened as well.

"Oh...Ok." Rin agreed although she still kept her original thought on the manner.

"My name's Rin, I live with Inuyasha-sama because Sesshomaru-sama took me in, it's nice to meet you!"

Even though Vanessa didn't really think of Rin much in the series as anything other than a future suitor for the cold demon lord, Sesshomaru, she couldn't help but smile at Rin's sweetness.

"Konnichiwa, Rin, my name is Vanessa. And this is a cat I'm taking care of for someone, her name is Luna." said Vanessa pointing to Luna on her shoulder.

"Oh! How neat, can I pet her?"

Vanessa looked at Luna who smiled back at her, showing her approval.

"I don't see why not."

"Yay!"

Luna gracefully leapt down from Vanessa's shoulder and walked over her lap to Inuyasha's lap which caused a loud reaction from him for being startled and finally into Rin's.

Rin rubbed Luna's back which caused her to purr in glee. As soon as Rin withdrew her hand, Luna walked over Inuyasha's lap and into Vanessa's. Then, she curled up into a ball and closed her eyes to nap.
