Chapter 7: Adjusting to Life in the Future
Sachi's bright blue eyes were unfocused and half lidded as she stood in the crowded train waiting for it to arrive at Wakanda Shrine. Her brothers were just a little ways away talking softly to each other.
Sachi's mind was still reeling from the events just a week ago. They came back in time, her great aunt and the head lo tech died, and now her little five-year-old sister was taking over as head lo tech in secret. She even went through the ritual to become head lo tech. She missed her sister and her parents were upset about the departure of their daughter. They hadn't seen her since that night.
Toru and Megumi said the ritual went well and that no one suspected Trinity to be an actual five-year-old. Now Toru was watching Trinity while she handled business in the lo tech council.
On the home front, Sachi and her brothers have become the youngest students ever to enter Wakanda Shrine. They were a little intimidated by the older kids at first but now they were getting used to it. The training there wasn't nearly as difficult as their mom's. Also, Inuyasha got a job at the corporation Sesshoumaru was running with his father. Inuyasha had some trouble getting into the hang of such work but now finds it quite enjoyable. Kagome had taken up running Aunt Trin's old shop.
Aunt Trin's body has yet to be found, and according to Toru Natsuro, and Kagura were very suspicious about the authenticity of her little sister actually being Aunt Trin. The gang suspects that Kagura and Natsuro are working with Naraku and know that Trinity did die.
When the bus came to a halt in front of the shrine the three children got off the bus and made their ways up the shrine steps. They were stunned to silence at what awaited them at the top of the stairs.
Their five-year-old sister Trinity stood there in her hanyou form with her arms crossed and a kind smile on her face. She looked tired and worn out but still the tranquil Trinity they knew. The twins ran up to her and to the five-year-old's surprise hugged her. Trinity returned the hug and nearly laughed when they broke out into multiple questions.
"Are you head lo tech!"
"Why did you leave!"
"Do Okaa-san and Otou-san know you are here?"
"What is it like being a lo tech?"
"Are you allowed to be in your hanyou form? I thought you had a concealment spell to hide that?"
"I heard there was a ritual to become the head lo tech what was it?"
Trinity walked past the twins and to her older sister. She looked up at her expectantly and after gazing down at the girl Sachi threw her arms around her and hugged her tight. "Why did you leave? We were so scared for you…" Sachi whispered.
When Trinity was finally released a few changes to their usual Trinity were noticed. The major one being the three sets of earrings in each doggy ear, though they looked weird on her dog ears they were most likely one in each lobe and two in her upper ears. Trinity also wore the strange black robes that were velvety and seemed to swallow the little girl up. On the girl's hands were visible marks where cuts from a knife or something were healing over to not scar.
Trinity smiled up at them and pointed towards the shrine where older teenagers were gathering for their training. "Can we walk and talk?" she asked softly. The three nodded and began to walk while Trinity walked between her sister and her brothers. Trinity saw them staring at her ears and she briefly closed her eyes.
Suddenly her features began to change to that of her human self. She looked like she usually did except her eyes were blue to make her appear like her great aunt. "Woah! You can change your form at will!" Toru exclaimed looking very impressed.
Trinity nodded. "Yes, it is because of the ritual I had to go through to become head lo tech. I guess I should explain some stuff before I go into business…" Trinity said briefly glancing at her sister. "When I was taken back to the council room many of the lo techs were hesitant about me but now they think I am really aunt Trin. Jii-chan (Toru) has been helping me adjust for this past week. I just did the ritual today and along with the ritual I received all of the perks that come along with being head lo tech, like the largest library in the world. That is why I am here, I read something disturbing that I think I should tell you Sachi…" Trinity said her face growing serious.
"You said you would tell us about all that has happened since you left!" Hikaru complained not really caring about anything to do with his older sister.
Trinity gave her brother a flat look. "What? You want me to answer those questions? Yes, I am really head lo tech. I left because I thought it would be best if I took over as head lo tech rather than that Natsuro guy. No, I haven't spoken with Okaa-san or Otou-san so they don't know I'm here.
Being a lo tech is cool, they have this awesome place to live and it is never boring. I can stay in hanyou form if I want but I like to be in my human form. The ritual involved cutting my hand and putting a little blood from all the lo techs in it and then I had to kill a dragon, cut out the useful parts and drink this weird concoction made from it's body parts.
Apparently every head lo tech has to be at least part demon so they give any human ones appointed this potion that turns them into some random demon so most in the council believe that the potion randomly chose me to be a dog demon and because of the potion I can change between demon, hanyou, and human forms." Trinity fell silent and the three siblings stared stunned.
"Wow…that is amazing…oh, what did you want to tell me?" asked Sachi. Trinity glanced at the twins.
"Um…if you two leave us alone for a minute I'll come back home soon and show you my demon form." Trinity whispered to the twins. They looked eager to see her demon form and ran off somewhere, most likely to class. Trinity turned back to Sachi. "I found this book about the Sacred Jewel." Trinity said nodding to the Jewel around Sachi's neck. "It was a book of notes written by former head lo tech, Lyson. It said that you were the Chosen One and it is you who will be making the wish on the Jewel and from what I read there is no doubt in my mind you are the Chosen One."
"Oh…I make the wish on the jewel? But…I don't know how! And Ive made flippant wishes every day and none of them came true!" Sachi pointed out.
"He also had notes in the book on how to do the ritual to make the wish…and…it is a little scary how you do it but I wont go into that. You are why we had to go into the past! To save you from Naraku! I also think the twins might be in danger too but I'm not sure yet." At Sachi's vacant expression Trinity got a worried look. "I'll do some more reseach. I'm sorry I had to be the one to tell you, I just want you to watch your back okay?" Trinity disappeared suddenly leaving Sachi alone.
Sachi didn't know how she was supposed to feel about this news but many emotions passed through her. Anger at her parents for not telling her. Guilty for causing so much trouble in the first place. Resentment towards her sister who was obviously more powerful and intelligent, why couldn't SHE be the chosen one! Trinity was head lo tech, she was better at Go, she could read far faster than anyone making her extremely smart and the powers she has had. 'Why me!' Sachi thought angrily feeling the tingling of tears in her eyes. "All because of this stupid jewel…" Sachi whispered reaching up and touching the jewel around her neck.
"But what a powerful jewel it is…" a silky evil voice said behind her. Suddenly the jewel was snapped from around her neck and Sachi's world was plunged into darkness. She screamed and struggled as she was grabbed from behind and there was the jerking sensation as she felt the ground leave her feet and soon she was knocked out by a blunt blow.
Kagome sighed as she waved good bye to the last browsing customer that wandered into her shop. She looked around at the dusty dark hovel and sighed again. With a simple spell she was able to fix the broken wall but she became worried as to why it was broken in the first place.
She tried desperately to find Trinity's body but it was gone, her youngest daughter was also MIA and she was beginning to think she would never see her again. This week felt like forever and she would do anything to see her youngest child again.
Kagome sighed again and turned to stack some books on the book shelf behind the counter and she briefly heard the ding of the bell over the door. She was reaching up to put a final book on the shelf when two powerful arms slipped around her waist. Kagome smiled and leaned back into the broad chest, she knew immediately who it was.
Inuyasha chuckled when Kagome leaned back against him and he began to nuzzle and nip her neck. Kagome giggled softly and turned her head to give him better access.
Inuyasha's hands slipped under her top and Kagome mewled slightly arching into his large hands. "Inuyasha…I sense someone coming…" Kagome whimpered. Inuyasha growled in irritation and removed his hands from his mate waiting for whoever had a death wish to show up. What they were met with they didn't expect…
Trinity appeared suddenly in the shop, the little five-year-old girl looking up at her parents with shy blue eyes. "Okaa-san…Otou-san…" she whispered softly. Inuyasha and Kagome stared at her stunned for a minute and before she knew it they threw they arms around her and hugged her tightly.
"You're back!" Kagome shouted joyously threw her tears. Trinity nodded and hugged her mother back. Inuyasha hugged both his mate and youngest daughter and didn't know what to say. "I cant believe it! It felt like you would never come back! Dad said you made into head lo tech! Oh My God, are you alright sweety! Was it painful?" asked Kagome referring to the ritual. Trinity shook her head no, her hair shifting away from her human ears to reveal the earrings. Kagome and Inuyasha narrowed their eyes.
"Who the hell said you could get earrings!" Inuyasha growled.
Trinity laughed softly. "I had to get them, the council insisted. They harmonize the powers in my body…" said Trinity trying to show the bright side but her parents didn't seem convinced. After some long explanations the three were met by the eldest lo tech they knew.
Toru appeared and he looked really distressed. "Sachi's been captured by Naraku!" he shouted urgently. "He has her and the jewel! What are we going to do!" Toru exclaimed. Inuyasha stood up suddenly.
"What! We need to alert the school, Naraku still might be around there if that is where he kidnapped Sachi!" Inuyasha yelled he grabbed onto Toru's robes and looked at Trinity. "I'll go with Toru to the school you go to the council and tell them what's happened!" Inuyasha yelled and Toru disappeared taking Inuyasha with him.
Trinity for once, looked really upset. She looked like she might even cry. "How can she be kidnapped! I just told her about the jewel and that she needed to watch out for Naraku! Why is this happening?" Trinity whispered.
Kagome looked at Trinity in surprise. "You told Sachi about the jewel and her destiny?" she asked. Suddenly this weird gas seemed to come out of no where and their eyes began to get heavy. "Wh-what…is…going on?" asked Kagome choppily but Trinity couldn't answer because she was out cold. Kagome's vision began to blur and she saw vague figures moving about in front of her just before she passed out.
