Author's Note: First, I would like to thank Nuriko-18 and Cami of Queenscove (Yay Tortall!!!!) for reviewing. Well, you'll find out about the cliff-hanger in this chappie (*shniff* nobunny guessed...T_T). Anyway, this chapter's practically burning a hole in my pocket.er, computer, so I'll update for the two people who reviewed! (Thank you!) And now, onto chapter 3!
Chapter 3: A Visit and an Experiment
At the last thought, Miaka clapped her hands over her mouth. *No! I'm destined to be with Tamahome! I'm--* "What the H*** is /that/?!" Miaka watched as /something/ began to appear in the middle of her room. After a moment, the being finished materializing.
"Taiitsukun! What are /you/ doing here?" Miaka asked, /very/ shocked (and a tiny bit nauseous).
"I am here," Taiitsukun boomed, "because Suzaku wants me to make something clear to you. You needn't withdraw from all your relationships and make yourself miserable; only be aware what could happen if you take it too far. And Miaka," said Taiitsukun as she started to fade, "You only /think/ your destiny is set, which it is somewhat, but you /can/ change it. Remember that, Miaka."
Miaka stared at the place where Taiitsukun had been, wondering what exactly had prompted that /random/ visit (A/N: besides that I just felt like it. ^_^), and what made her change her mind.
*She can't read minds, can she? Though I wouldn't put it past her-- how else would she know I was thinking about that particular issue? (A/N: Muahaha! Wouldn't /you/ like ta know!) Hmm.she said I could change my destiny, but.wait!*
Miaka got off her bed and went over to her backpack, muttering to herself, "Where did I put that silly thing? Here little love doll. Come heeere little love doll.Ah! Here it is!"
Triumphantly, Miaka pulled out the love doll. It wasn't the one Nuriko had given to her-that one was still broken, but she had bought another, meaning to try it again, but she had chickened out and had just stashed it in her backpack. Now she was glad she had bought it. Going to her desk, she pulled out pen and paper (A/N: I don't remember if there really is a desk or not, but I think there was, so go with it).
She wrote her name on one paper and another name on the second. Taking a deep breath, she put the papers on their respective dolls. Then, she stepped back and waited for something to happen. When nothing did, she frowned and took out another piece of paper. She wrote another name on it and switched that paper with the one already on the boy doll. Almost before she had a chance to step back, the doll broke down the middle with a resounding CRACK.
"Well, at least now I can accept that that could be," she said, sighing. Miaka looked at the name on the paper in her hand. *Well, apparently the gods have decided to 'allow' this. /Now/ what am I going to do?*
She pondered the situation for a while, periodically looking from the name on the paper she held to the one on the broken doll.
Suddenly, she got up and picked up the parts of her 'experiment'. "I have to talk to him," she said, heading out the door.
A/N: Aiyah! All my chapters turned out to be soooo short!!!! Ok, I'll tell ya what.if I deem a chapter to be pathetically short, I'll try to post two in one day. (That is, until I run out of written chapters! I've got a couple left though..^^;;). Hope ya'll don't mind! ~R.A.
PS-Please review!! *puppy eyes*
