Disclaimer: I own one magna!!! But I suppose that doesn't really count as
owning Inuyasha all together. Blast!
"Man, I hate waiting around not doing anything." Shippo complained.
"Yeah me too." Miroku said.
It was the next night and the group had gotten to Kaede's. Inuyasha had already left, and Kagome soon followed. The rest had decided not to follow her, and to let them actually have some alone time. Rainey opted to go and take a walk to the well she had come through, against her better judgment. She stretched and put her hands behind her head as she walked. When she came to the well she sat and leaned on the side of it. She watched the animals move around in the dark, barely visible with the light of the stars only. She was a bit tired so she closed her eyes, just for a little bit...
"Rainey. Rainey wake up." Some one was gently shaking Rainey awake.
"Hmm?"
"You never did like waking up, did you?"
"Ugh." Rainey said, as she swatted away the person's hand on her shoulder. It's true Rainey was a light sleeper, but she's also lazy, and didn't particularly feel like getting up.
"I know what will wake you up." The voice said.
"Just let me sleep." Rainey groaned. There was something familiar about the voice that didn't make her jump or even want to open her eyes.
The voice speaking all of a sudden broke out into song: "Good morning, good morning, good morning to you! Good morning, good morning, and how do you do? The day is beginning, there's so much to do. Good morning, good morning, goo-"
"STOP!!!" Rainey's eyes flew open. She looked up to see her sister standing in front of her.
"Jazmen?"
"Uh-huh. I knew that song would wake you up. You always used to hate it so much when Mom sang it to us to get us up."
"Wait, what are you doing here?"
"Well, I was sent to help you."
"By who?"
"I dunno."
Rainey stood up and looked at her younger sister. "Is the rest of the family here?"
"No, just me."
"I have to get you back home now. Are you hurt at all? Was that really you we saw a couple weeks back at the village?"
"Yeah. She made me say all that goofy stuff about following your heart and facing your fears or whatever I said. She helped me out a lot. She's the one who helped me regain my memory. Apparently time travel wasn't helpful to my memory. But after a few days, I remembered everything."
"Where are all the scars? And who's 'she'?""
"The nice woman in blue. She helped me out. She told me her name, but it was some weird Japanese name I couldn't pronounce or remember. You're much better at the Japanese stuff."
"I have got to get you back home."
"No can do sis. The lady said I only had a few minutes to talk. I still have work to do here in this fuel era or whatever."
"Feudal era, and I don't care what some freaky lady in blue said. You going home NOW!"
"Exactly how do you expect to get her home, if you are not even sure how you got here yourself, Rainey?" A voice from above said.
Rainey looked up to see a woman dressed in blue floating above her head.
*stare*
"AAAHHHH!!!"
Rainey went to grab her sister's hand and run for their lives, but found she couldn't move.
"I can't move!!!"
"I need you to listen to me Rainey." The woman said. She floated down to the ground and stood next to Jazmen. She was beautiful. Her blue dress covered the ground at least two feet around her. Her gray hair fell gently down her back. She stood tall and proud. She looked old, in a radiant young sort of way. Her very face shone with some inner light hidden beneath her majestic wrinkles and deep laugh lines. But she showed no intention of laughing tonight. Her eyes looked crowded with worry and strain. She wore no smile.
"I can't move!!!"
"We have established that Rainey. Will you please listen?" the old woman said with a hint of slight irritation ringing in her voice.
"Don't worry Rainey, she's cool." Jazmen said.
"What are you? Are you a demon?" Rainey asked suspiciously.
"Oh no. I am a spirit. Queen of the spirits actually."
"Queen of the what?"
"The spirits. We are also known as kami."
"We?"
"Yes there are thousands of us. We roam the land, but are never seen."
"Then how come I can see you?"
"Because I am allowing myself to be seen. There is not much time. I must tell you, you and your sister are greatly needed here. That is why I let you both through the gates of time to travel here. As you already know, Rainey, Naraku is on the loose, trying to gather the shards of the sacred jewel. To save us all time, I will cut to the chase. If Naraku gets the jewel, he will throw the alignment of nature and harmony out of balance. I cannot go into detail of the repercussions with a human, it is too much for you to comprehend. But I will tell you this, with the power of the Shikon no Tama jewel, the world as we know it will be destroyed and a new world, under Naraku's reign will be born."
"What exactly do you think a 15 and 12 year old are gonna do against Naraku? No, Jazmen can't stay here. It's too dangerous."
"Do you not think it is also dangerous for you?"
"Well, yeah, but if I can help it, my sister doesn't have to be in danger."
"Oh Rainey, it does not matter where she goes. You are both in grave danger. Here in the past and the future. Everyone is."
"Then why did you pick my sister?'
"I picked both of you. Do you remember that piece of glass you picked up before you jumped into the well?"
"No.wait, yeah! I completely forgot about it."
"It is a shard of the sacred jewel."
"No it isn't. If it was, Kagome would have sensed it."
"Not if I shielded it from her."
"Why'd you do that?"
"So you could go through the well. And you might need its power for the battle ahead of you. NO guarantees you will though."
"What battle? And why did you pick us?"
"I cannot tell you what is in store for you. I can only tell you that you will need to be very brave. I picked you because you are both Sacred Helpers of the kami. You, Rainey, have much more power than your sister, but it lies dormant within you. You will have to awaken that power if you hope to prevail."
"Powers? What powers?"
"You will have to find out for yourself. Our time has run out. We must leave you now."
"Wait, let my sister go home. She's too young to handle all of this."
"I am not!" Jazmen retorted.
"Your sister will remain safe with me. Remember what she told you. You must be brave and stand together. Beware your fears, or they will control you."
As the lady spoke, she and Jazmen started fading, like they were flickering in and out of reality. Then where her sister stood solid two minutes ago, there was only air.
'What battle?' Rainey thought to herself. 'What the hell is going on?' She sat down to think, becoming more worried with each passing minute.
END OF CHAPTER 11 The plot thickens!!! Hurray for me!!! Anyways, you know the deal. Review and I'll be really happy!!! (
