Chapter 5: Another Visit to the Tendo Dojo, and Soun and Chibi's Chat
Kagome and Chibi arrived at the Tendo Dojo and entered quickly, trying to avoid the harsh raindrops.
They entered the Dining room to see Mr.Tendo sitting at the table with his usual newspaper in hand. Kasumi right beside him watching the moving images on the television.
Kagome's presence was soon known once Chibi entered the room with a casual 'hey'.
"Hello Kagome, it's nice to see you this evening. What may I ask has brought you upon our Dojo?" Mr.Tendo asked.
"Hello Father." Kagome started, she bowed her head in respect to her uncle, or in other matters her godfather. "I need to talk to you in private." She stated.
"Yes, Kasumi? Why don't you go and do your other chores? If your finished go to your room and read that new book you have bought." Mr.Tendo stated more than asked.
"Yes father." Kasumi replied with sweetness as she got up from her Cochin and walked out the room into the kitchen.
Kagome and Chibi sat at the table. Silence was in the room except for Mr.Tendo's newspaper, which was being put down. Kagome didn't know how to start this conversation. She didn't want to delay. She knew the dream meant something, something that might be able to get her out of her marriage with Ranma. She may have loved that boy when she was young. The thing that didn't help was that she didn't know how it started or ended. Heck, she didn't even know what age she was back then.
Mr.Tendo looked at Kagome, searching her eyes. He too didn't know how to start. He knew he could simply ask her what's wrong and continue from there, but by the way Kagome was silent, it probably wasn't that simple.
Chibi on the other hand knew everything they were thinking. Thoughts that passed through their mind entered hers as she read them. She was relieved when Kagome finally decided to start.
"Father, I've been having dreams. Dreams about a boy. It was raining and he was crying. I don't know what about, but I knew he was sad. When I woke up, I only remembered some images. No sounds. I want to know if you know anything about this. 'Cuz to tell you the truth, I'm as confused as hell itself."
"Well, I guess we can no longer keep this from you. There was once and still is a demon named Naraku. Do you remember him?"
"Yes, he killed my father when he attempted to kill me."
"That day when he killed your father and knocked you unconscious. Well, let's just say when he knocked you out he used a spell on you."
"What type of spell?" Kagome questioned.
"A spell to make you forget the most important thing to you. And that thing was that boy. Naraku was hoping for you to forget your father, but toke away the memories of the boy instead. It seemed he was more important to you than your father."
"Ok, but then explain more. I'm still confused. I know Naraku, because I've been hunting him down for some time now, but I'm still confused about the boy. Wouldn't he have visited the shrine sometime and I'd remember everything?"
"That's another thing. Naraku didn't want you to remember him. So he gave your mother something. Something for her to give you to make you forget him if he came back. He threatened your mother telling her that if she allowed you to remember he'd kill the rest of your family. So before your mother thought it was time to move into the family's mansion she told you everything about the boy. She told you how much you loved and cared for him. She also told you that you had to say a final goodbye."
"So my mother reminded me of him so I could say a final goodbye, then erased my memory of the one I loved once more?" Kagome asked teary eyed, holding in all the pain.
It pained Mr.Tendo to see his goddaughter suffer so much pain. By the looks of her eyes you could see the pain inside her ready to make her combust into tears. He could tell she was going through many emotions at the moment. Knowing that she fell in love at a younger age, and then got that taken away from her as well as her father.
"So tell me about the dreams. How can I make sure that they have sound sooner or later?" Kagome continued, throwing the emotion of sadness out of her thoughts.
"Well, I have no idea. I guess since they came that that's a sign that your heart and mind ache's to remember him." Mr.Tendo replied in a stern tone.
"What about him? He will remember me right?"
"That may be possible, but I highly doubt that he'll remember your name. Naraku may have gotten to him too." He answered.
Kagome nodded and headed to walk out the room.
"Chibi, stay here. I'm just going to go see Kasumi. I want to help her clean up." With that she left.
Chibi turned her attention back to Mr.Tendo and smirked. Mischief in her eyes.
"So, are you going to tell me the actual truth or just sit there staring at me?" Chibi asked.
"I have no idea of what you speak Chibi." He replied.
"Tsk, Tsk, Tsk. You should know by now Soun that I have the ability to read people's minds. Your hiding more information and I want in!" She started off by waving her index finger, and then continued by putting it down yelling in a childish tone.
Mr.Tendo sighed. He knew very well the young 17 year olds power. He knew she had demon somewhere in that blood of hers and didn't want to reveal how much. She was stubborn like Kagome so that didn't help the situation much either.
"Ok, what do you want to know?"
"I know the boy's InuYasha Takahashi! That's for sure. The boy looks just like him! Only a lot cuter. Which also makes me think what happened when he grew up!" Chibi stated.
"Chibi, stay on the task at hand!" Mr.Tendo directed.
"Hai!"
"Ok, when Kagome was four years old, there was a day when it was raining hard in Japan. It wasn't bad, but it lasted a while. Kagome stopped at the stairs of the shrine when she noticed the boy. He was crying. His mother had died. And him being a half-breed didn't make the matters for him easier, but Kagome was there for him at that moment. Afterwards they became close friends. When Sango wasn't around he was like her new Sango. They knew each other in till the fateful day Naraku killed Kagome's father. The rest I told Kagome..." Mr.Tendo told Chibi.
"Ok, but tell me. Is there really no way to make Kagome's dream go further? And are you sure there's not other things?" Chibi asked, fully already knowing the answer.
"Actually yes, and no. There is a way to make Kagome get further. She must become friends with InuYasha then she receive volume."
"And she'll hear his name and everything will be perfect? And what do you mean no?"
"No, they must realize a bond or else Kagome will only receive volume with his name blocked out. Naraku wanted Kagome to be his woman, even though she was young, she was useful."
"I see. So is it possible for me to help set them both up?" She asked with hope.
"Yes, I'll help as well..."
"I'll tell Rai, Sango, and the others. They'll have to help." Chibi said.
"Good, we'll all set the two up. They will soon have to realize their past together and fall in love before I have to decide a day with Genma for her and Ranma's wedding."
"Good. Now I'll get Kagome and bring her home. I think it's best we both get some needed sleep. Besides, I'm in the mood to raid the kitchen closet."
"You're still the same mischief of 12 year old girl I remembered Chibi." He sighed.
"Glad you noticed. I'll give your goodbye regards to Kagome." Chibi said while getting up. She bowed and exited the room.
"Chibi let's just hope this all works out for the best. I don't want to see Kagome suffer anymore..." Was Mr.Tendo's last sentence. It trailed a small hope around the dining room. Which led to silence.
After Kagome reached home she toke her shower and got dressed into another big T-shirt. She decided that maybe she should just forget everything about the boy, even though it would be difficult. And the fact that she just found out she loved him didn't help either. She fell into a deep slumber trying to think about the boy.
It was a sunny day and Kagome was standing in front the boys house with him.
"Kagome? Why?" The boy said in a sad tone. You could tell he was ready to cry.
"Because I have to move, Inu-kun. My mother wants me to go off to a dojo to train." She said hugging him.
"I don't want you to get into danger no matter how much I'll miss you." She continued, she ended the hug.
She stood there with him, her soul mate, holding his hands in hers. She placed a small book in his hand.
"Keep that, and keep it with the gold locket I gave you. I'll keep my silver locket. Don't worry." She said.
She kissed him on the cheek and smiled. Her smile was like gold; it would always make a room light up.
"I'll always love you... and never forget we'll meet at Tokyo U…" Were her last words before she left, turning her heels and never turning back.
That explained most stuff; it's still going to be confusing. But in the end everything will be rapped up. Now I'd like to say thank you for the reviews and please offer me with more. Thank you.
Translation:
Hai: Yes
This Chapter is probably also the most shortest one's I've ever created. I already have Chapter 6-8 ready. There posted on I need 5 reviews so I can add chapter 6.
