Journey for Destiny
Chapter 5: A rainy night of truth
Inuyasha walked in front of Destiny on the way back to camp. He mumbled under his breath and would occasionally kick a rock or two until he stubbed his toe.
"OW!" Inuyasha yelled as a rock rolled away and landed in front of him again.
The rock looked as if it was waiting to see the damage it had done. It was a big rock too that was about the size of Inuyasha's head. And when he's being stubborn or cocky, his head is pretty big.
"What's wrong? Are you hurt?" Destiny asked him.
"I'm fine. It's no big deal."
"Does it hurt?"
"Well, what do you think?!"
"I think I can help you."
"No you can't so just back off!"
"You know! You have serious problems! Do you care about anyone or anything besides yourself?"
"Yea, I care about getting those jewel shards!"
Destiny sighed and walked over to where Inuyasha stood. She knelt down beside his foot and looked up at him.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" He asked her.
"Stop barking for one second dog boy!"
"Hmph."
Destiny began to sing a quick tune with her eyes closed. All around Inuyasha, he heard the beautiful voice energizing him and he felt peaceful for once. The pain was gone, and for those few seconds, he forgot about Naraku and the jewel. He forgot about how Kikyo betrayed him. He forgot about everything bad that had ever happened to him. Then the voice faded and his mind gradually came back to reality. He looked down but only saw his healed foot. Then he looked up to see Destiny walking back towards camp. He stared at her in puzzlement then he ran to catch up with her.
"How did you do that?" He asked her.
"Do what?"
"Stop the pain. I felt so happy and peaceful..."
"It was my gift from my father and my mother."
"Huh?" Inuyasha gave her a strange look.
"Well, all wolves can sing and howl, but only short tunes to find their friends or family. My mother had a beautiful voice that was pure and wonderful."
"Was she a demon?"
"No, she just had a wonderful voice."
"Oh..."
"My father was a demon, the leader of the pack." She smiled as those words slipped through her lips.
"He was the leader of a demon wolf pack?"
Destiny nodded and smiled. Inuyasha hadn't seen such a big smile from her. She looked up at the sky and the stars.
"I inherited my mother's pure voice, but my father's demonic power mixed in with it and now I have the power to heal people. I just found out recently though."
"Oh, well maybe you're useful after all." He said.
Destiny and Inuyasha continued to talk and walk back to where the others were. When they finally arrived, they saw everyone asleep. Miroku was leaning against a tree grasping his staff, but they both saw a red handprint on his face that was visible in the fire's glowing light. (Wow what a surprise) The campfire was still burning with life and it seemed as if it would live forever. Kagome slept on the grass beside Inuyasha's tree. This tree was where Kagome and he first met, although Destiny didn't know this. She was wearing that short green skirt still with her short-sleeve shirt. She shivered and made little moaning sounds from being so cold. Sango slept with her head against Kirara who curled her tail around Sango to shield her from the cold wind that blew. The wind rattled the trees and Destiny watched as Inuyasha stared at Kagome with concern. Shippo slept soundly under Kagome's arm, trying to keep warm.
"Well, good night Inuyasha." Destiny said to him.
"Yea sure." He said as he hopped up into the tree. He lay his head against the tree and let his feet hang from the branch he slept on. Destiny walked to a comfortable spot in the roots of the tree where the wind couldn't get to her. She was going to sleep on the branch Inuyasha chose, but he got there first. Oh well. Destiny drifted off to sleep and dreamt of when she was little...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Destiny's dream:
Destiny looked into a puddle that showed her reflection as rain dropped into it. She was 5 years old. All around her was rain that gently hit her face. But it was beautiful rain that was clear and made life better and newer. She looked up into a tree where a red cardinal shook its' wings free of rain.
"Destiny!" A voice said.
Destiny looked around to see Koga running towards her. She smiled and ran towards him.
"Koga!" She called out. "Where have you been? I was waiting for you."
Just then, the rain started coming down hard and the sky grew dark and the air was cold. She was being drenched. A loud laughter was heard and Destiny saw Koga fall as Naraku drew his sword and blood splattered on the ground. The rain turned red as it fell from the sky. Destiny looked at her hands, which were now bloody, and then she looked down at Koga's dead, lifeless body.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Destiny gasped in fear. Her heart raced and she awoke from the dream with tears in her eyes. The salty drops ran down her cheeks and she was breathing hard. There was rain around her. She heard every little drop hit the ground. Her ears twitched as they picked up all the sounds. She heard small moaning noises and whines. She looked up in the tree to see Inuyasha staring at Kagome who was making the noises. Inuyasha hadn't noticed that Destiny was aware that he was awake also though. He hadn't noticed that she was watching him. Inuyasha had a concerned look on his face as he finally jumped from his branch that kept him sheltered. He walked over to Kagome despite the rain that beat down hard on his head. Kagome sneezed and he looked like he was going to have a heart attack. He ran to her side and knelt down beside her. He looked around and Destiny ducked beneath a tree root so he wouldn't see her. He quickly removed his kimono and wrapped it around Kagome. She just shook. Kirara sheltered Sango from the rain, Miroku sat under a tree with leaves that acted as a roof, and Shippo had run to Kirara and Sango. Kagome had forgot her sleeping bag and sheets in her time and was completely vulnerable to the rain and wind. Inuyasha covered her head with his red kimono and he carried her over to his tree. He sat with her laying in his arms. He felt her shiver and squeezed her tighter around him. Leaning against a tree, he watched her shiver and Destiny could tell that he really cared for her. Destiny smiled and felt at peace. Inuyasha brought Kagome's head closer to his chest and he rubbed her arms to warm her.
"Please be okay Kagome. Don't get sick. If you get sick, you will have to leave me to get well. I don't want you to leave me." Inuyasha said to her as she slept. "I don't want to ever lose you..."
Destiny sneezed and Inuyasha spotted her.
"Uh...hi Inuyasha." Destiny said nervously.
"Were...were you spying on me?!"
"No, I just happened to be awake...I think it was really sweet what you did for Kagome."
"I have no idea what you're talking about!" He said forgetting his arms were wrapped around her along with his kimono.
Destiny just stared at him with one eyebrow raised. Inuyasha blushed a deep red and looked down at Kagome.
Destiny awoke the next morning before anyone else. Or so she thought. Inuyasha had stayed up the whole night with Kagome in his arms. The morning was beautiful. Drops of rain dripped off of bright green leaves. The sun shone through the leaves and trees. The morning dew was laying on the blades of grass that surrounded them. Destiny smiled as she watched Inuyasha protect his dear friend from the rain.
A/N: So what do you guys think of it? Is it alright? Please please please review on it! I'm so sorry that it took so long for me to put it up too. School has been really hard on me and I may not pass this year.
