Ok, i've been caught. I contradicted a spell in my own story so i'll fix
that little mistake in this chapter. Sorry folks! Also, i'm glad you all
love Kalea. This story needed some serious comedic relief. R&R!
Predictable Chaos - Cherry Blossoms and Roses
It was late evening when the group finally reached the village that Sango had mentioned and Kagome had realized the spell that was put on Inuyasha to keep him at a safe distance wasn't working. Kalea noticed the girl's distress.
"A little slow, aren't we?" Kagome threw the goddess an icy glare.
"What do you mean?"
"You 're just now noticing the spell isn't doing its job on him?" Kagome's chocolate orbs widened.
"H-How did you know that a spell was put on Inuyasha?" Kalea dismounted Kirara and walked towards the nearby river.
"Who do you think took it off dog boy?" Kagome pointed at Kalea and she nodded in response.
"Are you NUTS?! Why did you do that?!" Kalea crouched next to the river and proceeded to sprinkle a few cold droplets on the back of her neck. Hard labor may be good for mortals, but she wasn't use to it.
"Two people who belong together shouldn't be pulled apart." Kagome also jumped from the back of the giant cat and ran up beside the deity.
"But he's in his youkai form. He could easily kill all of us." Kalea stared blankly at the horizon.
"Kagome....Inuyasha would never want to hurt you. I think that even in his full youkai form, there's a small part of his hanyou and human side that would try to stop him. That's what he's trying to do as we speak." Kagome's adolescent features became a little more delicate.
"Is this spell of yours going to work?" Kalea met her gaze.
"I sure do hope so. That kid's always been a fighter. I hope he still is."
"You grew up with Inuyasha too?"
"Yep."
"You must've been close to the family..."
"Nope. Just Sesshomaru. Inuyasha just came along for the ride and I got to know him. But my objective was to bag Sessy."
"Still is, isn't it?"
"Please. I'm a goddess. I don't have the time nor patience for a demon." Kagome smiled and stood up.
"Are you going to set up for the spell soon?"
"In a few. I have a list for the pervert over there. Just give me a few moments to myself and i'll be there in a jiff." Kagome nodded and ran back to the others. Kalea dipped her hands in the frigid river. She closed her eyes as she poured the clear liquid over her arms and massaged it into her spiraled locks. She was still intoxicated by the artic blast the water gave her but even intoxicated she noticed a pair of eyes watching her. Her body told her to be cautious but her heart knew she didn't have to be.
"Do you watch every girl that washes herself by a river?" Two gold eyes appeared out of the darkness, followed by silver hair.
Sesshomaru was in awe of the goddess. He knew beauty but had always been hypnotized by Kalea's. That's why he pushed her away when they were younger. He didn't want to succumb to childish feelings of want and desire. His heart lept into his throat when she caught him staring. He hadn't meant to but when he saw her the old feelings returned. He decided to speak during the silent, akward moment.
"I wasn't watching.." Kalea rolled her heliotrope eyes. He never was a good liar. Sesshomaru advanced to a position behind her as Kalea pulled her curly hair into a ponytail atop her head.
"You really shouldn't lie. It isn't attractive on a guy like you." She slid past the tall figure before he grabbed ahold of her arm. His grab wasn't strong or violent but he wouldn't look her in the eye.
"You know this is dangerous. You were never formally trained in the powers of the spritual realm.." Kalea admired the man from her place beside him. This was the Sesshomaru she grew up with. The man that only showed concern when no one else was watching. She loved this about him.
"They need my help. I'm more than willing to give it."
"This could kill you."
"Has the possibility of death ever stopped me before?"
"No, but..." A soft smile crossed Kalea's face.
"Are you showing concern for me? It wouldn't be the first time, you know..."
"What happened between us is in the past."
"I know." The smile fell from the goddess and Sesshomaru let her go. She ran back towards the village. Sesshomaru inhaled her scent but instead got an aroma filled with the smell of roses.
"Spring water...candles...cherry blossoms...a dagger...and a white cloth? Anything else?" Miroku was a little confused by the list Kalea had given him. Kalea shook her head.
"That's it. Take Sango, the cat, and the two kids with ya, ok?" Miroku was even more baffled by this request.
"May I ask why Lady Kalea?"
"Um..I have to...prepare. Yea, prepare! For um...the spell....and with kids around, you know, it's a little harder to do so."
"Why take Sango and Kirara then?"
"To keep the damn kids occupied! Geez you ask alot of questions!!!" Miroku apologized and left just as the sun started to set. Kalea impatiently watched as they rode off into the forest to retrieve the blossoms and water. She knew that the cherry blossoms would keep them on a long search, for there were no cherry blossoms in sight for another one hundred miles. Kalea hastily made her way back to the hut that the villagers had so graciously given the group after Kalea told them her name.
Kagome raised her eyes to the location of the door when she heard Kalea come in. She stood to meet the goddess.
"What's wrong?"
"Where's Sesshomaru?"
"By the river. Why?"
"Go get him. We start this NOW."
"But the others-"
"You want Inuyasha to live don't you?!"
"Yes.."
"So do as I say." Kagome rushed out of the hut to retrieve the youkai lord. Kalea knelt by the comatose hanyou. He scrunched his eyes and bit his lip, causing a little stream of blood to run down his lip. She wiped the sweat from his brow and fixed his kimono. It was then that she noticed that something was missing, but she couldn't place...
"You're starting NOW?!" Sesshomaru stood in the entryway. Kalea stayed paralyzed by the hanyou. It was as if someone had stabbed her in the back and she saw the traitor's face. Kagome rested her hand on Kalea but jerked her hand back. The goddess was burning up! Her skin felt like it was on fire. Kagome then noticed how light was being emitted throughout the hut - it was coming from Kalea! Kalea's chest rose up and down; trying to capture a hint of air.
"Tet...susaiga. Where...is..it?" Kagome glanced back at Sesshomaru. His amber eyes formed into two slits as he glared at nothingness.
"Kikyo..."
Yay! So you're going to review right? RIGHT?! Fine. That's ok. Sure. Just hurt my feelings why don't you? Just kiddin'! Next chapter : Kalea meets Kikyo and we finally hear from the dog boy!
