Wow since I only got one review for the first chapter, it must've sucked,
right? Well, just for the sake of that one review, I will continue. My
thanks and gratitude is given to chrisoriented, who has reviewed I think
all of my stories so far, including the first chapter of this one! This
time around, Kurama will get his reading. Let's hope it goes better than
Hiei's reading!
After they got Hiei to calm down, and he was sitting in a corner mumbling angrily, Kurama made his way into the back room. He was surprised, just as Hiei had been, to find that the psychic was a teenage girl with a strong spiritual aura. Nevertheless, he sat on the pillow across from her and smiled. She looked up, her red eyes shining.
"Well well, I can tell this reading will be an interesting one. You seem to have a very conflicting aura," she said, her eyes looking him over, "Please tell me your name, because I am having trouble divining yours. I seem to be getting two."
Kurama looked quite amazed at this. How could this girl know about Youko. He hesitated before responding.
"My name is Shuuichi Minamino, but you may call me Kurama," he answered timidly.
"Are you familiar with the Tarot, Kurama?"
"I am, yes."
"Well, then, I should tell you that we're doing a normal, ten-card spread. Think of a good question and shuffle the cards for me, concentrating on the question."
Kurama did as he was told, and then spoke the question aloud as he handed the deck back to the young psychic. She set the deck down in front of her, then drew the first card off the top. It depicted a young brown haired woman tied to something with swords stuck into the ground around her. She was blindfolded, and there was a numeral 8 at the top.
"This card and its position divines that you are currently in a state of conflict, imprisonment, and turmoil, more than likely with something within yourself."
She drew the second card. It was a card with a quite disturbing picture of a man and woman jumping out of a burning tower to their deaths. Kurama cringed when he thought of what this one entailed. It also struck him as strange that she drew it upside down.
"The position of this card tells me that in your future the obstacles that are in store for you will test you greatly. This card entails continued oppression and the following of old ways because it was drawn upside down."
This was starting to scare Kurama greatly. He was sweating and shaking slightly. He lost it when the next card she drew was the death card, not knowing that the position of this card currently was the distant past position. He ran screaming from the room and out the front door of the shop.
"Well, there goes another one," the young psychic said, sighing.
What did you think? Was it better than the first chapter? I do hope so! I tried to make this one longer, but it didn't work out. Well, review, or you never know what the Tarot might have in store for you! Maniacal laughter, followed shortly by a hacking cough
