Chapter 1
Disclaimer : I own th DVD Of spirited Away ! Hai ! But I don't own Inuyasha.
And another quiet day, I was eating lunch with Eri and Yumi, like every day ...But to day, Ayumi came to see us with the biggest smile I had seen in her face !
« Hey girls ! My mom brought me a gift from her trip in France !» She said.
« She went to france ? You didn't tell us that !» Eri said. I don't think she was paying much attention to what Ayumi said the pass week.
« Sure I did , she sighed, Anyway ! It's a card game to tell the future ! it's really old and very popular in france! It's name le tarot de marseille! »
I wasn't very impressed, I had seen a lot of old things in my life. And how can a Card game tell the future. If you really want to know the future, you can go to a shrine at the time of the new year ! I was looking away, totally in outer space, when ...
«KAGOME ! Are you listenning ?» Screamed Yumi .
«... haha haha... Sure ! Why do you ask ?»
Eri was looking worried. «Really Kagome you have to listen when we speak to you. You are like that since you started to be healthier. We are worried about you !»
«We can try to ask the cards if you will be better !» said Ayumi with hope.
«I don't think it's a good idea, you know ...»
«haaaaaa ! Kagome, it doesn't hurt to try !» said Yumi.
And then they were looking at me with sad little puppy eyes ! And I hate it when they do that. They know that I can't resist it.
«... ok ok, stop looking at me like that !»
« YOUPPY ! You will be the first one to try it. I'm not really good at french so I brought my pocket computer with the translation of the meaning of the cards.»
I hope it will not take too much time...
«I hope there isn't a Happy Squirrel card, like in The Simpsons ! » said Eri,looking thoughtful. And what do an Happy squirrel mean in a card game ?
« The Simpsons... what is it ?» said Ayumi totally lost.
« Hoo.. It's an american show. My parent wanted me to practice my english so I watched Fox TV.»
«Weird ... Anyway ! Kagome where are you going ?»
Chikuso... they saw me. What can I do now... I was just trying to escape the torture that lied in that deck of card. Why me !
« No where ... haha haha...» Somewhere far far far away from you, maybe the Canada they look like good people.
«Sit there ! Ask me a question!» Now What can I do to pass the time, I could ask stupid question. I'm so good with that trick.
« ... heee... What kind of question ?»
«You can ask a question about love, school, money etc !» Love, school, money ? My life is resume in two word : school and shelter. Where can I find love when I want no one. Maybe I will become the lover of one of the orphan, maybe that cute little one with that cute smile, but he is just 6 years old. I'm too old for that.
«Ask if you will find true love !» Said Eri with sparkles in her eyes.
« .. ok ! It's simple ?»
I was so shocked ! They wanted to know if I would find someone, I don't want to be negative, but the love of my life had just let me down a couple of months ago.
« Listen to me Kagome ! First of all, I will mix the card and you will tell me when to stop. After that, you pick four cards, the first one you place it at your left, the second at your right, the third one in front of you and the last one in front of me. And I will place your center card, Ok ?»
«... ok»
That was boring, how can Frenchs love that game ? It had strange drawings and names l'Amoureux, l'Étoile, le Soleil, la Tempérance et la Force ! What
does it mean?
«... hum... ok ok ! Look at the first one, it's the lover, the second it's the stars, third the sun, fourth the moderation, no good traduction for that one and in the middle the force, all on the good side. Hummmm..»
«Hummm what ?» I said, I was getting nervous with the look she made.
« You seem luky ... The lover represents yourself, you are asking yourself if you did the rigth thing or if you will do. The second one, the stars, means that your are gifted by destiny and that you will make the right choice. The third one, the sun, means love and hope. The fourth, the moderation, means that the one you love will come from your past, it's someone you already know. The last is the one that I like the most. It means that you will find the One. The one who'll love you with passion, both your body and your soul. Your soulmate !» Youhou, I got someone from my past and all the boy i know beside Hojo-kun are IN the past.
«This is too kawaii ! Could you do the same thing to me, ne ?» Why everyone want to find The One, that's only a trick for the Valentin's day to be able to sell more chocolat.
« It changes all the time, you don't have that much chance to catch the same cards.» Ayumi said with a look of « I know everything but you don't » on her face.
I think I would have some stupid ghost after me! After some undead miko, a freak hanyou and some bad ass youkai, I got a new category ghost ! But who could it be, I don't know a lot of men beside Inuyasha who came from my past. And I think they would be dead now.
