The Fortune Teller

Chapter One

Inu-Yasha's Fortune

Part One

The rain came down hard on the five travelers that were walking down a trail in a forest.

A crack of lightening illuminated the darkened sky, which was followed by a loud

rumbling of thunder. The wind was blowing so hard Shippo was holding onto Kagome

for dear life. Miroku and Sango were riding on Kiara while Kagome stood behind Inu-

Yasha to avoid the wind.

"This is fricken ridiculous! Inu-Yasha we have to find shelter!" screamed Miroku over

the howling wind.

"No, we keep on going!" yelled Inu-Yasha.

"Inu-Yasha please! I don't sense any jewel shards, so can't we find somewhere to spend

the night?"

Inu-Yasha growled in frustration, "Okay! Fine you bunch of wimps! We'll find

somewhere to rest!"

Everyone sighed with relief and tried to find somewhere to settle down. Miroku finally

spotted a shack on his left. "Inu-Yasha! Over there!"

Inu-Yasha turned to see where Miroku was pointing and nodded. Fighting against the

wind they managed to make their way to the shack that was well hidden in the trees.

Miroku and Sango got of Kiara's back so the cat demon could turn into her smaller form.

They entered the small shack and closed the door. It was pitch black until Kagome

grabbed a lighter from her yellow bag. Shippo found some dry wood in the corner and

soon they had a fire going. The shack would creak the odd time due to the force of the

wind. They were all thankful that there were no cracks in the wood so they could stay

dry. Kagome started to pull out blankets for every one while everyone settled down,

preparing to sleep.

"Kagome, do you have any food? I'm starving," whined Shippo.

"Sorry Shippo, I'm afraid I don't have any,"

"Well what the hell are we going to do then? I'm hungry too!" growled Inu-Yasha.

Everyone else nodded their heads in agreement.

"Well where do you plan to get some?" asked Kagome.

"I'll see if there's a village near by," grumbled Inu-Yasha as he picked up his sword and

headed for the door.

"I'll come too," said Miroku.

"Me too!" piped in Shippo.

"Now hold on a minute! Who's going to protect the girls?" asked Inu- Yasha, not really

wanting to take anyone with him.

"We'll be fine here with Kiara, you all go ahead, we'll be fine," said Sango.

"You're sure about that?" asked Inu-Yasha raising an eyebrow.

"Yes, now go and get some food," ordered Kagome.

"Feh," said Inu-Yasha as he walked out the door with Miroku and Shippo right behind

him.

**************************************************************************

The wind started to blow harder as Inu-Yasha and Miroku trudged through the muddy

path, trying to find a near by village. Shippo had his small arms wrapped around

Miroku's neck, trying not to be blown away.

"I hate this!" screamed Inu-Yasha in frustration.

"There must be a village near by, we've been walking for almost an hour!" cried Miroku.

Shippo opened his eyes just in time to see something in the forest, "Miroku! Inu-Yasha!

There's something over there!"

Inu-Yasha and Miroku stopped walking and looked where Shippo was pointing.

Miroku squinted his eyes, trying to make the strange huge shaped object. "It looks like a

cart,"

"A traveling cart," corrected Inu-Yasha.

"Do you think someone lives in it?" asked Miroku.

"Hopefully, let's check it out!"

Miroku took the lead with Inu-Yasha right behind him. As they made their way to a

clearing, they just stared a the humongous cart. It was longer than Kiara, and in red paint

on the side of it read FORTUNE TELLER. Inu-Yasha looked to his left to see two

horses tied to a tree who looked strangely calm for being in a storm.

"Shall we go in and ask for food?" asked Miroku.

"Sure, and if whoever lives here doesn't have any, we'll steal the horses,"

Miroku shook his head and walked towards the small stairs that lead into the strange

cart. Knocking three times on the door, Miroku waited for someone to answer.

"Just knock it down!" cried Inu-Yasha.

"You can be so barbaric at times you know that Inu-Yasha?"

Inu-Yasha was about to reply, but then the door slowly started to open. A small women

that was no taller than Miroku's waist appeared at the door. She was wearing a black

Kimono and had her golden hair tied back in a bun. Her finger nails were long and both

Miroku and Inu-Yasha thought she had a very large nose, but the thing that surprised

them the most were her silver eyes. "What can I do for you," she whispered in a raspy

voice.

"Pardon?" screamed Miroku since he couldn't hear her over the wind.

The lady sighed in frustration, jumped up, grabbed Miroku's ear, and yelled, "What can I

do for you?"

Miroku rubbed his ear and Inu-Yasha was doing everything he could to hold back his

laughter.

"Do you have any food?" yelled Shippo.

"Sorry dear I can't hear you, come inside from the wind and the rain," said the woman,

opening the door more for them.

"Why didn't she do that when I talked to her?" mumbled Miroku.

Inu-Yasha shrugged his shoulders and followed the others into the cart, closing the door

behind them. Inside the cart had candles lit all over the place with and strange symbols

on the walls. There was a dark purple curtain in the middle which most like led to the

other side of the cart. Three chairs were lined up along the side for them to take a seat.

"Sit down, and explain why you have disturbed me?" hissed the woman who was

standing near the curtain.

Taking a seat, Miroku started to explain, "We were wondering if you had any food.

You see we have three more travelers with us staying at a shack not far from here,"

"Ha, like I'll just give it to you,"

"Oh no, we intend to pay,"

The woman stared at them with a frown on her face, which soon turned into a sly smile.

"Alright, I'll give you some food on one condition,"

"What's that?" asked Inu-Yasha nervously, not wanting to know what it was.

"I'll give you the food, if you let me read your fortune,"

They were silent for a moment before Inu-Yasha broke out laughing.

"I don't see how this is funny," mumbled Miroku.

"What a joke! Why should we get a fortune told by some faker?"

"I assure you young man I can see the future," growled the lady.

"Sure sure, what ever. But if it will get us some food, I guess we could do that,"

"Very well, who would like to go first?"

Everyone was silent for a moment, before Inu-Yasha stood up. "I'll go first I guess,"

"Very well, follow me if you will," said the lady as she walked behind the curtain.

Inu-Yasha followed, shaking his head as he walked. ^This is going to be a waste of my

time^ he thought to himself. The next part of the cart was so dark, Inu- Yasha couldn't

even see his hand in front of his face. Suddenly a small ball of light appeared in front of

him. The light grew brighter to reveal a small table with a crystal ball in the middle of it.

The lady was already sitting in a chair at the table. Inu-Yasha sighed and sat across from

her.

"Alright, well to start things off, I usual tell the person what I know about them, which

is everything," whispered the woman.

Inu-Yasha sighed and rested his elbows on the table. "Sure whatever,"

The woman peered into her crystal ball and started humming. Inu-Yasha glanced at the

ball and noticed it was changing colors. He sighed, ^what a cheap trick^ he thought.

"Ah yes! Your name is Inu-Yasha and your half demon,"

"Oh give me a break, even a moron can tell me that by just looking at me!"

"You were sealed to a tree for fifty years by someone you loved name Kikyo,"

Inu-Yasha's eyes widened, ^how the hell does she know the? Probably heard it from

someone.

"You have an older half brother named Sesshoumaru, your father was lord of the

western lands, and your mother . . ."

"Shut up!" cried Inu-Yasha as he rose to his feet.

"Ah yes, I can see you don't like to talk to her. Sit down young man, I won't mention her

again,"

Inu-Yasha growled as he took his seat. This woman was really pissing him off.

"Now you are traveling with a girl . . . who is the reincarnation of your old love Kikyo,"

Inu-Yasha simply nodded, his fingers drumming along the table.

"Well enough of that, what would you like to know about your future,"

Sighing with frustration, he thought for a moment, "What kind of life will I have?"

The woman smiled and started to hum again as the crystal ball started to change colors

again. "Lean closer and you will see,"

Growling slightly he leaned forward and noticed a small black dot in the middle.

Leaning even closer he noticed the dot started to get bigger and bigger. Before he could

say a word there was a blinding flash of white light. Inu-Yasha closed his eyes and felt

like he was being pulled towards something against his own will. He felt himself falling

and finally he gave out a grunt as he hit something. Taking in a breath with out opening

his eyes, he smelled the scent of luscious green grass. His eyes snapped opened but

closed just as quick as the sun poured down on his face. Slowly opening his eyes again,

he found himself in a small clearing in some kind of forest. Looking up, the sun was

shining brightly and there wasn't a cloud in the sky.

"Where the hell am I?" he asked out loud, and his only response was the chirping of

some birds near by. Getting to his feet he rubbed his throbbing head and started to walk

through the forest. "This is fucking ridiculous!"

Suddenly Inu-Yasha stopped. Sniffing the air, he caught onto a familiar scent. It was

Kagome's, but she smelled a little different some how, but he couldn't tell why. Shaking

the pain away from his mind, he raced in the direction Kagome's scent was coming from.

"May she'll know what the hell's going on," Inu-Yasha mumbled to himself. As he ran

through the forest, he suddenly came to an abrupt stop. Ahead of him was the god tree.

"What the hell? Were about a weeks journey from here, so why the . . ." he stopped

talking as he heard voices near by. Taking one last look at the god tree, he walked slowly

over to where the voices were coming from. As he walked through the trees, he could

hear humming, and it was coming from somewhere on his right. Walking in that

direction now, he came to a small clearing where a batch of red and blue flowers were

growing and in the middle of it . . . was Kagome. Inu-Yasha's eyes widened as he noticed

she wasn't wearing her school uniform, but a miko outfit like Kikyo wore. She was

humming to herself as she picked flowers, obviously not knowing he was even there.

"Hey wench, what the hell is going on?" yelled Inu-Yasha.

Kagome didn't even respond or look at him. She was acting like he wasn't even there.

"Wench I'm talking to you!" screamed Inu-Yasha as he kneeled down to grab her by the

shoulders. He yelped in surprise as he some how just phased through her, landing flat on

his face.

"Alright now I'm really confused," mumbled Inu-Yasha. "Is this a dream?"

Staring at the humming happy Kagome and his surroundings, it finally hit him like a

tone of bricks. "Of course! This must be future,"

Kagome suddenly stood up and headed off into the trees.

"Hey wait up!" cried Inu-Yasha as he followed her, wondering where she was going.
