Chapter 2: The beginning, middle, and the end
The fire...the burning, the screams of pain and fear. It was too much for the five year old Destiny. She sat in the small underground shelter her father had made a few years back in case the weather changed for the worse unexpectedly, as it had now. No one had thought the sky would begin pelting fire from it's depths onto mother earth herself. Now she and her mother were in the shelter waiting for her father. He had told them to stay where they were no matter what had happened to him. It seemed like an eternity before the terrifying sounds had died down. Her mother got up to open the door and see if the coast was clear when the earthquake began. It would seem a lifetime before it finally clamed down, and then it was much too late for the young child and her mother to bear in the outside world.
"Come sit in the living room and I will get some tea for you and sake for the hanyou. My mother will be with you shortly. And don't let the dog break anything please. It is all we have left of our past."
Inuyasha fumed," Why you!" He lept up and Destiny turned just in time to see Kagome get out of her seat and pull him down to the floor. He flopped without thinking where and glared at the both of them. "Well, she's the one who was--" WHAP! She hit him harder than usual to stop him from ruining this for her.
"Well she was!" he yelled at her," If she wasn't one of the most important things to you right now I'd rip her...." he suddenly realized what he just admitted.
"ARGH! SIT! SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT!!!" Stomping back to her seat, she glared at the flattened hanyou.
"Okay," Destiny said, very amused at the scene that had just taken place before her," I see we'll need more time before the both of you are fully prepared for the cleansing, so...... why don't I situate you in the guest rooms to cool your tempers and tomorrow I'll start you on your first task now, shall we?" Gathering the dishes and bottle, she set off towards the kitchen to clean up even though nothing was used. Kagome glared once more at Inuyasha before getting up and moving in the direction Destiny had taken. Inuyasha meanwhile, finally being able to get up after all of the sits he was punished to, settled himself once more in front of the small table. 'I blew it again. The one thing I do for her and I've done and pissed her off so much she didn't even look back,' he sighed,' Now what am I going to do?'
Meanwhile.....
"Heh,"a woman's voice said, sounding hollow and of old age," such fools that think they can get the jewel. They will have to do a lot more work to earn the trust they will need of each other to pass the ordeal they have put on themselves. Even then I am unsure they will survive. Unless they love eachother as I predicted the chosen one would to her compainion. They may not know it yet, however, they may know their own feelings already and are unsure of the others."
The woman moved away from her spot in the hidden wall and turned to her daughter. Removing the tea from it's hot plate, she served two cups and passed one to her daughter while leaving the other for her reading. She moved to the cuboard and removed some herbs. Placing them on the table she lit the incense and turned once more to her daughter.
"Do you want me to start Mother?" Destiny iquired, "Or shall we begin together?"
The old woman thought carefully before she answered,"I shall begin this time but you are still an important aspect to this reading. Now, we begin."
Carefully eyeing the amount of sage and orange essence, she put out two more cups and equally divided it. Pouring the substance into both cups of tea she passed one to Destiny, keeping the other.
"Now we must add the ash and hair. After you shall begin the incantation," the woman said. Destiny mearly nodded as she collected her words in her head. She fetched the ash and hair of the subject in question. The dog boy was harder than the girl to get hair from. If they were the ones than the tea would turn bright green, smoke purple, and turn into a poison that would come in use later. Otherwise it would stay as tea and be harmless to the body and mind.
Kagome walked into the kitchen and started to help Destiny with the recently soiled dishes and what was in the sink.
YEA!!!!! It's taken awhile for this chapter, I know, but for the life of me I couldn't think of a name for Destiny. Anyhozzles, this one's shorter and it might take a bit longer for the third too because at the time I have extremely limited internet access and because it's the summertime I've gotten lazy. Sarah, I know you're reading this cuz I told you 'bout it, sooooo......Happy Birthday! I know, I'm weird but I thought it was rather appropriate after the surprise party I threw for you so NAH!!!! _. R&R!!!! This is a very old chapter if you can't already tell! Should I put everyone in this fic? Give feed back!!!!!
Ja ne
