Chapter 12
The Holy Water
The following afternoon the two women were at the stove watching as the last flame disappeared off of the water. The scales could no longer be seen because they had disintegrated in the immense heat of the water when it was aflame for full day; the pot had not been harmed in anyway because it was made especially for intense heat.
"That took long enough," Kara said as she opened the cupboard on her left and took out the other ingredients. She took the ice rose petals, which had been hung a good distance form the fire overnight to dry, and crushed them in her palm. As she did this some of the pieces fell into the pot but in the end Kara brushed all the pieces in it anyway.
"Now it has to sit for two hours," Tara said, "This is the problem with making the water, it takes so bloody long."
Kara laughed, "Yes well, it is well worth the wait in the end."
"Indeed," Tara replied as she put the other ingredients on the back of the counter to prevent them from falling.
Kara thought a moment, "Tara about the fifth item..."
"What about it?" Tara asked.
"Ah, Touya sort of has two different colors of hair, if you catch my drift."
Tara looked over at her friend, "I know. I've know him forever," she said with the tone of voice that said 'duh'.
Tara chuckled, "I know that hun. I'm just asking if you're going to use both or just one."
"Both I would suppose," Tara said as if questioning herself.
Kara nodded her head but did not say anything. She turned and walked out of the kitchen and into the living room where the boys were playing with their toys and the teens were playing a game of cards; they had mixed two decks together.
"Bull," Yusuke cried and flipped over the last card played. He laughed "Take 'um back Kuwabara." Kuwabara muttered and took the large pile of cards.
Seeing Kara and Tara walk into the room Jin smiled, "You done?"
Tara shook her head with a small frown on her face, "Nope it'll take two hours before the last ingredients can be added."
"And after that it'll take two days minimum before it can be used," Kara finished.
"Oh," Jin mustered.
Kurama looked over his shoulder, "Why so long?"
"The ingredients need to mix completely. Two days is the minimum however, it can take up to two weeks," Tara explained.
Kurama nodded his head and turned back to the game and placed two cards down, since it was his turn. He had known that it would take a few days to make, when he travel the Makai as the thief Youko Kurama the Holy Water had been worth a fortune and was extremely rare to find, much less obtain. He thought it weird that these two knew how to make the water but did not say anything, from what he knew only specific ice apparitions knew how to make it but he could be wrong. However he seriously doubted he was.
Tara walked over to the children and sat down. She watched as they played with the stuffed animals, marines and dinosaurs. She smiled as the three boys played freely without worry of any sort.
Luke took a T-rex toy and opened its mouth. He put one of his marine's heads in and closed the dinosaur's mouth. Luke mocked a cry for help, "General the big mean dinosaurs got my head, help me!"
Daren took the stuffed dragon and closed it mouth around the dinosaur's middle, "Now the dragons got the dinosaur."
Touya took one of his medium sized bears and wrapped its arms around the dragon, "The bear's got the dwagon now."
Tara laughed, "You guys made your own food chain."
After a while Touya got up with the stuffed dragon and walked over to the teens and crawled up onto Jin's lap. Jin looked down at the younger version of his friend with a mixture of confusion and surprise.
"What you playing?" Touya asked curiously.
Botan stifled her laugher; Jin's face was amusing her, "We're just playing a game of cards Touya."
Tara walked over and took Touya off Jin's lap, "Alright kiddo let's just stay of Jin's lap." Touya looked at her curiously, "Why?" "Because he not used to it," Tara said.
"Oh," Touya murmured before looking back at the game.
Two hours went by quickly enough and the two women returned to the kitchen. The crushed flower petals were no longer seen as the diffused dragons blood had made them disintegrate.
Tara dropped two strands of Touya's hair into the pot, one green and the other blue; she had cut them off before entering the kitchen. Next Kara pored the whole vile of the healing water into it.
Tara took out a small glass container and pored the liquid in, it filled the container to the top, some of the contents fell down the drain as she did this. There was not much of the water in the pot to begin with, for most of it had evaporated within the last twenty-four hours.
"Now we just have to wait for a few days," Tara said as she put the glass top on the container and put it in the safeties of the cupboard where she locked it with a zip tie.
Kara turned around and laughed, this made Tara turn as well; Jin stood in the doorway holding Touya, who was sucking on his thumb.
The next two days were going to prove interesting.
What is going to happen in the next two days? Will Touya remember the duo when he's returned to normal?
Stay tuned to find out. Don't forget to review please.
Thank you.
