Journey for Destiny
Chapter 4: New friends
Destiny told Inuyasha, and his friends about her tragic story when she was little. Kagome's eyes looked so concerned, and Sango had told her what had happened to her village and family. Miroku and Inuyasha also told how they were deceived long ago. "Do you want to journey with us?" Inuyasha asked. "Why would you want me to travel with you? I tried to kill you." As Destiny said that she turned her head down in shame. "Well, you are beautiful and talented in the art of fighting. I mean, Inuyasha didn't have a chance!" Miroku said. "Hey!!" Inuyasha snarled. Shippo and Kagome laughed. All of a sudden Destiny felt a hand sliding down her back towards her rear end. Destiny flinched and grabbed the sneaky hand. "Ow, ow, ow! He he, you're kinda hurting me." Miroku said. "Sorry, but can you not do that?" Destiny says. Sango shakes her head in disappointment. "He never learns does he?" Sango asks. "No I guess not, the little pervert." Inuyasha tells her. Miroku looks into Destiny's eyes and Destiny's ears twitch a little in discomfort. He brings her closer to him in a hug and then gabs her hands and holds them between his. "Destiny, you are very beautiful, and strong. You see I wish for you to bare me a child." Miroku says. Destiny's cheeks got rosy red and her eyes got huge. "Miroku give it a rest." Sango said. She hit him over the head with her boomerang and watched him twitch a little. "Don't mind Miroku. He asks every girl he sees the same question." Shippo tells her. Destiny laughed a little and she looked down at the jewel shard that Naraku had given her. It's dark, evil glow shining in her eyes. "Do you want me to purify it for you?" Kagome asked. "You can purify the jewel?" Destiny asked her. "Yea, but only if you hand it to me. I promise I'll give it back." Kagome said. Destiny handed Kagome the jewel shard and watched as the dark glow turned into a bright light that twinkled in her eyes. "Yes, now we have one more shard, and even better is that it's from Naraku." Shippo said as he hopped onto Kagome's shoulder. Kagome handed Destiny the jewel shard and then smiled at her. "Hey! Why'd you give her the jewel shard?" Inuyasha asked rudely. "Well it was hers to begin with since Naraku gave it to her." Kagome told him. "Plus, I think it will be safe in her care." She continued. Inuyasha growled and turned his head away and crossed his arms. "So what? You know, I'm sick and tired of you and your stupid morals!" "Sit boy!" Kagome's voice was loud and strong. It scared Destiny as she stared in amazement at the power Kagome had over the stubborn hanyou. Destiny thought of everyone that was killed or betrayed by Naraku. She still wasn't sure about the sacred Shikon no Tama. She had never heard of it up till Naraku gave it to her. "Shikon no Tama.." Destiny repeated. 'Is it really so powerful that demons and people alike would kill for it? Is it worth risking the life you are given?' Destiny thought to herself. She stood up and brushed the dirt from her raggedy pants. "Excuse me everyone." She said as she walked past Inuyasha and Kagome. "Where are you going?" Kagome asked. "Just for a walk. I'll be back soon.." Destiny said. ".Maybe." She whispered to herself. Inuyasha's ear twitched as he heard that last word. Destiny hadn't realized how accurate his hearing was. He was much like her. She walked through the forest, which was now dark with the setting sun. She couldn't see the sky through the tops of trees but she felt the cool night air as it gently blew on her arms and face. The trees howled as the wind shook their branches. She began to shiver a little since there were holes in her kimono top and pants. She felt leaves on the bottoms of her feet crunch. The scent of flowers at the tops of trees was a sweet scent, which she enjoyed. She stopped and looked up to see the sky, but the branches hid it. "Fine I'll jump to the top and sit in the tree. Then I can smell the flowers and gaze at the setting sun." Destiny said as she came to her conclusion. Destiny jumped and landed in a high branch where there were no leaves to see through. All around her looked like a sea of leaves from the trees. She saw some of the looser leaves fly off and float in the wind as it carried them across a red and lavender sky. The sun continued to set and she enjoyed the view for a while until she heard footsteps coming up the path she had taken. She was curious to see who was there, but she stayed put. The footsteps came closer and closer until they stopped right beneath her. She stopped breathing for a few seconds. Then she saw a red blur shoot from the sea of green like a fish jumping in the water. The red blur landed right beside her and she saw it was Inuyasha.
"What are you doing here Inuyasha?" She asked him. "Listen, I know you have never trusted anyone and I never did either until Kagome, but you can't just leave us without telling. You're going after Naraku too aren't you? Then why not be with people with the same desire?" Inuyasha said. "What are you talking about?" She asked him. "I heard you say that you would come back maybe. Maybe what? You came here to think about leaving?" "No, I said 'I'll be back soon.maybe' because I didn't know if I would be back all that soon. I came here to think about my mother, and father, and Ko-.." She stopped in mid-sentence. Why couldn't she finish? She didn't want anyone to know about him yet. When she was younger, he was always there for her. He was her shoulder to cry on, he was her best friend. Later on, she began having strange mixed feelings. She always wanted to be with him. She never wanted to leave his side, and he never objected to it. He was about 7 when they met, and she was 3. She had fallen in love at the tender age of 4. He would be 19 now.if he were still.. No, he WAS alive! He had to be! "Is something wrong? What were you about to say?" Inuyasha asked her. ".Nothing. I was gonna say nothing." Destiny said in a sad voice. Her ears drooped as her tail curled around her. She was shivering and goose bumps were forming on her arms. She rubbed them to rid herself of the annoying bumps. She felt something warm fall on her head. Then she felt a hand putting the warm thing around her. "Here take my kimono. You look cold and I'm warm, so I actually needed a place to set it." Inuyasha said as he continued to wrap the kimono around her. Destiny smiled and blushed a little. "Thanks." She said in a soft, gentle whisper as if shy. "Yea well, like I said I was getting hot and needed to get it off anyway." Inuyasha said. He looked at her from the corner of his eye. She was staring at the almost gone sun. Her eyes looked so sad and lonely. Her smile was so light. It was like she was trying to hide her sadness but was doing a horrible job at doing so. Inuyasha turned away. "So what're you thinking about?" He asked in curiosity. "Just someone I knew long ago." She said as she looked down at the red kimono. "Who was it?" Inuyasha asked getting more interested. "Someone.I loved when I was younger and now.he's gone." She said with a shaky voice, tears forming in her eyes. Just then a song formed in her head and she began to sing. It always helped her before. Her mother had a wonderfully beautiful voice that she passed on to Destiny, only Destiny's voice had the power to heal because she was half demon. It was like a blend of power from her mother and father.
Destiny began to sing: (Song by Evanescence: My Immortal)
I'm so tired of being here (Destiny's part: 1)
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave, I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone.
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase.
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears. (Koga's part)
When you scream I'd fight away all of your fears
I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have.. All of me (Destiny's part: 2)
You used to captivate me
By your resonating light
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams
Your voice has chased away all of the sanity in me
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears (Koga's part again)
When you scream I'd fight away all of your fears
I held your hand through all of these years
And you still have all of me (Destiny's part: 3)
I tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all alone
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears. (Koga's part)
When you scream I'd fight away all of your fears
I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have.. All of me (Destiny's part: 2)
(This song was by Evanescence, not Destiny or me.)
Inuyasha listened to the beautiful voice and felt more energized and healthy. But then he flinched as he saw shining streams of tears roll down her cheeks. Destiny saw him watching her and turned her head away, but she couldn't hide her whimpers and uneasy breaths. She closed her eyes and let the little drops of water squeeze through her eyes. She felt a hand around her shoulder pull her to Inuyasha's chest. He hugged her and told her in a quiet, comforting voice, "Shh. I know, it's okay. I felt the same way about someone else at one time." He felt her hiccup-like cries as she tried to stop her sadness. She felt safe now, being in Inuyasha's arms. He knew what she was going through, because he knew how it was to be alone all your life and have no one accept you because you were a 'half-breed'. She leaned closer to him and accepted his comforting and then she dried her eyes. She looked up at him and smiled. They stared at each other for a few seconds and looked through one another into the other's past. Inuyasha saw her dark brown hair flying in the wind. Some strands covered her honey brown eyes which turned golden in different lighting. He moved a strand of hair from her eyes and looked at her red lips as they turned into a slightly bigger smile. He leaned closer to her and her hands that held on to his kimono squeezed tighter as she felt nervous and scared. Inuyasha closed his eyes as he got closer. What was he doing? She let him come closer and then she turned her head. She couldn't forget Koga. She couldn't betray him.even if he was gone. Inuyasha opened his eyes. 'What the hell was I doing? Was I about to.' He asked himself in his head. His cheeks turned red as he blushed and turned away, but Destiny didn't see. She had turned her head away as well to hide her embarrassment. If Koga was gone, and Inuyasha was here, why couldn't she just kiss him? He was kind and sweet to her. He reminded her of Koga. That was why she couldn't kiss him. It was because he reminded her of Koga. "Maybe we should go back to camp." Inuyasha said, his cheeks still rosy red. "Yea," she said. It was late now. The sun had set long ago and the stars and moon lit the sky. Destiny gave Inuyasha his kimono and they began to walk back.
Yea I know it's not in Inuyasha's character to be so understanding, comforting, and kind. But I had to throw that in. So sue me if you want. LoL. Well, to answer your question Terra, it is a Destiny/Koga Inu/Kagome. But if you read the summary, it says: What if Inuyasha begins to fall in love with Destiny? How will Koga react? So don't be fooled. Thank you for the reviews. ^_^
