Chapter 5
"Is she all right?" Kagome asked worriedly, clutching Inuyasha's sleeve.
"I don't know..." He said, unconsciously placing himself between Kagome and this unknown threat.
The girl's eyes stared sightlessly ahead and the low growling voice issuing from her mouth continued.
"This day Destiny turns the hand of Fate to you... Your destinies are about to become clear... Listen well, and remember..."
Six shall set out on a journey, to recover that which was lost.
Five shall return from this journey, the sixth to pay the cost.
The first shall be the Protector strong,
The second the Seeker brave,
The third is one is a Godly man,
The fourth a long-time Friend,
Fifth, the Child Prophet will be needed to succeed,
And lastly, the Old One will join your quest,
For if you wish to succeed you will need every wit and whim,
For finding the sacred ring lost long ago, will not be an easy task.
These you must bring, no more no less,
Else you will fail in your quest.
The child slumped, and would have fallen, but Kagome reached out to catch her.
"What just happened?" She asked Inuyasha, picking the girl up to cradle against her chest. The child snuggled into her embrace, sleepily looping a fist through a strand of Kagome's hair.
"Poor thing..." Kagome whispered watching the sleeping child.
"I think that was a prophecy..." Inuyasha told her, eyeing the child with misgivings.
"She did say it was our destiny." Kagome agreed, cuddling the girl. "What do you think she meant by all that?"
"Well, she said something about a quest for 'that which was lost'. And then she started talking about the Protector and the Old One."
"Maybe those are people." Kagome said, beginning to understand at least part of the riddle.
"I don't think there's anyone around here called the Old One, Kagome."
"No, you don't get it. That's not their names, that's a description of the person. The Seeker could mean someone who searches for something."
"I suppose..."
Kagome's train of thought was interrupted as a familiar shape barreled into her, hugging her tightly.
"Kagome! I missed you so much! It was really boring riding with Miroku! Why couldn't I have come with you?" The little demon whined.
"Shippo!" Kagome said, her nerves grating. She glanced down at the child in her lap to see her wide-eyed at the young demon.
The girl pushed herself off Kagome's lap and backed into the wall of the shrine, carefully avoiding anyone's eyes.
"Who's that? Huh, Kagome? Is she a friend? Can I play with her?"
Inuyasha walked over and grabbed the young demon, tossing his over his shoulder.
Miroku arrived in time to catch a bawling Shippo as the kitsune flew directly at his head.
"What was that all about?" He demanded, setting the struggling Shippo on his feet. Sango walked up moments behind him, followed closely by Kaede.
"I think we all need an explanation." Inuyasha grumbled, looking directly at the Child Prophet.
OOOOO
Author's Note: Bit short I know, but I'm kind of strapped for time. At least I let you know the Prophecy. It's not that hard to figure out if you think about it, but I'll let you dwell on it until next chapter. Hopefully, the next chapter will explain some things that I haven't bothered to yet. Also, sorry I made Shippo seem so... weird. I kind of needed him to be overbaring for this section, I really don't have anything against him!
As always, I would like to say thanks to my reviewers: Dark Inu Fan (I know, I know, I'm working on it! My Muse just doesn't want to cooperate! At least I explained the summary, I was getting a little long winded... sheepish look), StarfireRobin, and my newest- CrimsonEnchantress (Heehee... Cliff-hanger! I love them, even if you all don't! I hope I satisfied your curiosity for now! And thanks for the long review, I'm getting a little worried that I'm not very good at this kind of thing...)! Bye until next chapter!
