Chapter 3
I saw myself walking through a village, looks like it's an Asian one too. I go into a shop that I know it's mine, and I see a girl there.
'Amarante, go into the woods and get more herbs,' I said. Wow, I just spoke in Japanese. Weird. I guess that in my past life, I was Japanese. When the girl left, I began doing some chores. Suddenly, I heard a commotion. I went outside, and saw what it was.
"It's been reveled that that awful demon is still around here. Where? We do not know yet. But, tomorrow, first thing in then morning, we will find out, and destroy him and anyone who stands in our way." When the individual finished, each villager cheered. All, but one.
'I have to warn him. I have to tell him tonight, or else he'll be killed,' I thought. Whoa, where did that just come from? The next thing I knew, I was running onto a path, which led me to a cave. I ran inside, and found a tall man, maybe around 6 ft, with long silver hair, two magenta colored streaks on his face, golden eyes, a crescent moon on his forehead, and wearing a kimono and armor. He was asleep. I walked up to him and sat down next to him, watching him sleep peacefully.
'Just look at him, he looks so peaceful. I can't let him die. If anything happens to him, I'll never forgive myself,' I thought to myself. I then noticed myself crying. One of my tears landed on his beautiful face, waking him up.
'Hitomi, what's wrong,' he asked me.
I was startled that he woke.
'Oh Sesshoumaru, the villagers found out that you're still here. How? I don't know.'
'Shhh. What did they say?'
'They said that they know that you're here, and that they'll going to kill you and anyone who stands in their way.'
I threw my arms around his neck, sobbing into his gorgeous armor. I felt him push me away; he leaned down, and began to kiss my tear-stained face. His lips finally found their way to mine. He kissed me. Gently at first, but then more passionate. He tongue licked at my bottom lip, seeking entrance. I shyly opened, and our tongues danced together. I gathered enough courage to go and explore inside his mouth. I tongue licked his fangs, which made him moan. When we broke for air, he began to trail kisses down my jaw line, neck, and eventually at the crook of my neck.
'Tonight, I'll become your mate. Tonight, I'll surrender my body to you.'
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I woke up with a gasp, panting. My mom hugged me, and began calming me down.
"What happened," dad asked.
"I went back into my past life, and I saw him," I answered.
"Him," Melinda asked.
"Remember how I use to get these strange dreams. Well, I saw him. The man in my dreams." I touched the silver, crescent moon necklace on my neck. This always comforted me.
"Honey, do you want to go back," my aunt Phoebe asked me. I nodded, and repeated the spell.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I woke up, seeing that Sesshoumaru was sleeping next to me. Memories of what "happened" earlier came back to me. A smile was planted on my face. I noticed a warm object wrapped around my naked form. I looked down, and saw that it was his tail! Smiling, I again looked at him, noticing how innocent and beautiful he looked when he was asleep. I touched his face, brushing away a stray hair. Sleep came over me, and I gave in.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
A noise was what woke us from our slumber. The noise sounded like angry people.
'Oh no,' I whispered.
'What,' asked Sesshoumaru.
'The villagers. They're here to kill you. I'll try to stall them, so that it'll buy us some time so that you can get away.'
'No! I'm not leaving without you.'
'I don't like this more than you do. But, please, just trust me, I know what I'm doing.'
The demon cupped my face, and I gently, yet firmly, grabbed his wrists.
'Please, just go. I don't want you to get hurt,' I begged. The demon nodded, and started to put his robes on (same goes with me). With his robes on, he gave me a final kiss and hug before he left. I put down the barrier, and went out to face the angry mob.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
'Get out of the way girl! We don't want you! It's your demon boyfriend that we want,' retorted one of the villagers.
'If you want him, you have to get through me first,' I answered back.
'We don't want to hurt you,' came a voice. It belonged to Hotaru, the village priestess. She prepared her bow and arrow, and aimed it at me, with the intention of only to scare me.
'Like I said before, you have to get through me.' Hotaru held her weapon, and stared at me. Silence overshowed us all for some time, before a villager got impatient. He pushed the young priestess aside, took her bow and arrow, and shot it at me.
'Goodbye, my love,' I whispered before the arrow pierced through my skin, and killing me.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I woke up again, gasping. I started to cry, remembering all what I just experienced. I felt it. The arrow piercing my skin, killing my past life. My mom gave me a hug, whispering words of comfort into my ear. But, even those words, which use to have so much power over me, didn't work. I continued sobbing, trying my best to calm down. But, not matter what I did, I couldn't. I eventually did when aunt Paige gave me a drink. I think it was a potion of some sort. But, it didn't matter. By the time I was done, I was already calmed.
"You're gonna be fine," asked mom. I gave a quick nod.
"I'll be up in my room if you need me." Before I went upstairs, my mom told me to take the Book. I did as I was told, and ran up to my chamber. I plopped down on the bed, and began flipping through the Book. I stopped when I got to a particular page. There, it showed a huge dog demon. The only flaw was, was that the page was written in Japanese. I began reading it; I guess that my skills to read this language came back to me when I went back and relived my past life. The information was astonishing. It talked about the Inu Youkai. I finally saw that this demon was the father of Sesshoumaru.
'Now, the question is, how am I gonna find him again,' I thought to myself. I heard something fall on my bed behind me. I turned around, and saw that it was a plane ticket, set for the day after school ended. As I read it over, it said that this was to drop me off at Tokyo International Airport. The other strange thing was, was that three more tickets appeared. They all were heading towards the same destination. I guess that the other three were for Maddy, Nate, and Nikki. I looked at my clock; it read 6'o clock. I reached for the phone, and dialed Maddy's number. The ringing started and continued for about 4 times before she picked up.
"Hello," she said.
"Hey Maddy. Listen, I got four tickets to Japan. You want to come with me," I asked. I heard her cry with joy as she began jumping up and down, and smiled at her childish antic.
"I'd love to come," she answered.
"Great. We'll break the news to Nate and Nikki Monday. Bye." We hang up. I looked at the tickets before gathering all of my courage to go and ask mom.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"No, you're not going," my mom retorted.
"Mom, I'm telling you, these tickets appeared out of nowhere. Isn't that how aunt Paige found you and aunt Phoebe," I defended. My mom opened her mouth, and was about to say something when my dad interrupted.
"She's right Piper." My mom glared out him, before throwing her hands up in defeat.
"Fine, fine. She can go." I jumped up and down with joy, and gave her a kiss on the check.
"Get out of here," she replied, teasingly. I ran upstairs, and told aunt Phoebe the good news when I met her on the stairs.
Author's note: Ok, this is just a note. Hitomi wasn't the original name. It was Suzuki. But, I then found out that Suzuki was a last name, not a first. So, I changed it. Sorry for the confusion.
