The Fortune Teller
Chapter Five
Sesshoumaru's Fortune
Jaken and Rin held on for dear life as the wind started to howl harder almost blowing them away. Sesshoumaru was no where to be seen, he had said something about sesnsing his younger brother near by and went to check it out.
"Master Jaken?" screamed Rin over the wind.
"What? I can't hear you!" cried Jaken.
Rin sighed and closed her eyes as the rain started to pour again. Sesshoumaru had been gone for several hours, and if he didn't show up soon, they would both be blowen away.
"Jaken! Rin! Let's go,"
The two looked up to see Sesshoumaru had returned, and showed no expression to the storm that was currently raging. Rin and Jaken slowly walked towards the lord of the western lands and grabbed tightly to his kimono as the wind started to blow harder. Not caring that his two followers were clinging to his legs, he continued walking on his journey to find and kill Naraku. The loud bang of thunder caused Rin to scream in fear, as she clinged tighter to Sesshoumaru's leg. Sighing, Sesshoumaru picked the girl up and started to carry her in his arms.
"Don't scream Rin, it is just thunder," said Sesshoumaru in his emotionless tone.
Rin quieted down while Jaken sighed as he continued to cling to his masters leg.
"Master Sesshoumaru, may I suggest we find some shelter before Rin catches a cold?" asked the imp.
Sesshoumaru didn't say anything since that thought was also running through his mind.
"Looking for shelter my dears?"
Jaken and Rin almost jumped out of their skin from the surprised voice, but as always Sesshoumaru stayed in his calm mode.
A short woman was standing near her traveling cart, which Sesshoumaru noticed said Fortune Teller on the side.
"Maybe we are, but I refuse to be helped by humans," said Sesshoumaru, as he turned to continue his walk.
"Oh is that so . . . Sesshoumaru . . . Lord of the western lands?"
Sesshoumaru stopped but did not turn around.
"How do you know the lords name?" cried Jaken.
"I know many things young imp, like how he has a half breed brother by the name of Inu-Yasha, and that your name is Jaken, and the girl in his arms is Rin,"
Finally turning around, Sesshoumaru said, "What is it that you want with us?"
"Just to give you a place to rest when the storm is over, no charge at all, I'll even get the girl some dry clothes to wear,"
"Please Lord Sesshoumaru, we are both freezing," whined Jaken.
Sesshoumaru said nothing, but followed the woman into her the traveling cart. He had to duck to get into the door and stared around the small cart. Putting Rin down she wrapped her arms around her self to try and get warm. The woman had disappeared behind the curtain and soon appeared with a small red kimono.
"Put this on dear, it will keep you warm," said the woman.
"Thank you," said Rin as she disappeared behind the curtain to get changed.
"Now, can I get you two anything to drink? Tea?"
"No thanks," whispered Sesshoumaru.
"I will," said Jaken.
The woman nodded and disappeared behind the curtain once again.
"My lord how long will we stay here?"
"We will leave as soon as Rin and you are warmed up, then we continue the hunt for Naraku,"
Rin soon appeared in her new clean Kimono and was carrying two cups of steaming tea. "Sesshoumaru, the strange woman says she wishes to talk to you," said Rin as she passed a cup to Jaken.
Sesshoumaru said nothing as he stood up and went behind the curtain to see what the hell the woman wanted. She was sitting at a small rounded table that had a crystal ball in the middle.
"Please, sit,"
Sesshoumaru did not move at first, but eventually took a seat across from the old hag.
"Care to hear your fortune?"
"And why would I want that?"
"Don't you want to hear about your future?"
"I don't really care to hear about the future, I choose my own future, I don't follow one,"
"What I show you does not mean it will be your only future, but one of many possibilities,"
Sesshoumaru said nothing a first, but then replied, "Show me,"
The woman smiled and started to hum as her hands moved over the crystal ball, "First I usually tell my customer what I know about them. As I said before you are lord of the western lands, you brother Inu-Yasha is not only a half demon, but only your half brother since your father mated with a mortal woman,"
"So?"
"Oh nothing, just thought I would tell you what I know about you," said the fortune teller as she pulled up a basin of water. "Look into the water and you will see what is yet to come,"
Sesshomaur simply leaned forward and stared into the basin. At first he saw nothing, but a certain red dot caught his attention. As he leaned more forward, there was a blinding flash of red light, and in a blink of an eye, Sesshoumaru had completely disappeared.
**************************************************************************** ****
*That little wench will die for humilating the great lord of the western lands* thought Sesshoumaru. He was completely enveloped by darkness, and could not see anything, not even his hand in front of his face. Suddenly he was covered in white light and had no choice but the shield his eyes. When his golden orbs opened, his eyes widened as he realized where he was. He was some how back home in the western lands and was standing in the middle of the dinning hall.
"Impossible . . . this is impossible," said Sesshoumaru who hated to admit it, but was confused as hell since they were a three week journey from his castle. Sighing, Sesshoumaru easily figured out that this was his future and decided that since he had nothing better to do, he would look around and see what would be one of the possibilities for his future. The whole castle seemed to be quiet which made the lord wonder, usually you could hear Jaken yelling at his other servants as he ran around the castle to make sure everything was perfect. He finally reached a room which was familar to him . . . it was Rin's room. Making up his mind he opened the door and peered inside, but his eyes widened. Her room was gone and instead was filled with books and other supplies he stored in the other rooms. *Did Rin leave me?* thought the lord.
He hated himself for feeling a little sorrow that the young girl was no longer with him, and had to wonder why he felt this way in the first place. In fact he could never figure out why he kept her around, after all she was just a weak pathetic human. But for some reason, she was special to him in a way. Shaking his head he continued to look around the palace for any sign that something interesting would happen in the near future. The castle seemed the same since he had last visited it, but he had a feeling that he would see something he would never expect.
Sesshoumaru searched throught out the entire house, but found no sign of any life in the house, not even the servants, Jaken, Rin or himself. Getting frustrated Sesshoumaru headded to his room, but on the way his thoughts then drifted to Rin. He was still frustrated with himself on why she was special to him. She did give him some company besides Jaken, and she always fed and cleaned his two headed dragon. Rin always seemed to be smiling, even though he was demon, it was like she didn't care. Most humans were afraid of demons like him, but Rin wasn't, was that why he kept her around. Trying to clear his head, Sesshoumaru opened the door to his room and closed it behind him. Turning towards where his bed was, he froze. There was his future self lying in his bed (A/N :try not to get lost here people) and beside his future self, was Rin, or someone who looked and awfully like Rin, but much older. Slowly walking to his occupied bed he noticed tha hs future self had Rin wrapped in his arms, (A/N :with me so far?). This caused the demon lord to gasp. He then noticed that Rins ears were slightly pointed like his and her hair was much longer . . . it was almost as long as his. So many questions were running through his head as he tried to keep his usual straight face. *How could this happen? I don't love Rin like that . . . she's almost like a daughter to me . . . so how the hell did . . .*
His thoughts were interuppted as the scene before him disappeared and he was surrounded by darkness once agian.
"Did you like what you saw?"
Sesshoumaru didn't need to turn around to know that the fortune teller was now behind him, but he didn't say a word.
"Fine don't answer my lord, but I know you did,"
At that comment Sesshoumaru did turn around to glance at the old hag, but he still did not speak. Smiling, the old fortune teller snapped her fingers and they were both back in the small travelling cart.
"Now you can stay here for the night, or there is cave not too far from here,"
Sesshoumaru immediatly stood up and headed to the door, but stopped. Jaken was on his feet ready to go, but Rin was asleep in the chair. Sesshoumaru scooped the young girl in his arms and headed out the door with Jaken at his heals. The fortune teller smiled as she noticed four peices of gold on the chair where Rin had once been.
*You may just see her as a daughter for now Sesshoumaru . . . but you have yet to see that you will fall in love with her . . . and that she will turn into a demon so that she can be with you forever. After all your father did not realize that he loved Inu-Yasha's mother until he saw me*
With a snap of her fingers, the traveling cart disappeared into the night.
