Seasons of the Witch
Chapter 1
Sasuke watched the beauty before him. Her lavender eyes were challenging him to move further, daring him to make the first move. Sasuke was compelled to crush her into him and give her a hard kiss, but as his hands reached out to grab her, she moved away, weaving deeper into the sea of warm bodies.
He growled and pushed his way through the throng of gyrating bodies.
Where could she be?
Sasuke was getting impatient. He wanted to feel her now, taste her delicious lips, bury himself deep in her chamomile scent. He could usually sense her aura, but there were many interference, such as the LOUD upbeat music (sends his radar way off) and the Mardi Gras mascots (too many people with their own unique aura).
Hinata was moving to the music, swaying her hips, closing her eyes and losing heself in the driving beat.
All around her, clubbers dressed in Halloween costumes danced and shouted and laughed. Many girls used Halloween as an excuse to dress like a 'slut'; others were dressed in prehistoric rubber costumes, although most of their parts kept falling off. There were many vampires, Frankenstein, zombies and even Sherlock Holmes!
Hinata was dressed rather provocatively: cream lacy corset, white asymmetrical layered skirt and bulky white cowboy boots. She chose the most innocent colour, her favourite colour and turned it into a sexy colour. Her swaying body just screams 'Sex Kitten'!
Closing her eyes, Hinata felt nothing but the movement of her body. There were no sisters, no demons, no potions to concoct. It was as if she was transported to another place, a dark mysterious place where nothing matters. She was in her own inhabited surrounding of music. Her place.
Suddenly, strong arms rested on her swaying hips. Although she had her eyes closed, she knew who it was.
Sasuke moved his hands up to the side of her breast. He turned her around.
"Look at me," he commanded.
Hinata opened her eyes sensuously, parting her lips precisely the way he wanted. He took a moment to devour the sight of her. Her milky skin glistened with sweat, and a thin strap of the corset hung precariously off one shoulder; her fringe stuck to her forehead.
Without a moment to lose, he claimed her mouth as his. His left hand kept sliding up and down, from the waist to the side of her breast. His other hand slid low, grasping her thigh, lifting it up. His purpose of doing this was to stop her from wriggling, a dangerous tease that might break down his self-control.
Hinata gasp at his closeness. There had been many times when both of them had come so close to tear each other's clothes off, but it was always Hinata who stopped them from going further down that path. Although it left both sexually frustrated, Sasuke accepted her decision.
"I want to have sex after marriage. Just not now."
However, Sasuke decided to shag her right then and there. To Hell with all the people!
He began fiddling with the strings that held the corset together on her back. Hinata opened her eyes, alarmed at his fingers that were working rather deftly.
She tore her lips away from his, and gave him an accusing stare. That was all it was needed to stop Sasuke. After rethinking his spontaneity, he realized he did not want to bare his girlfriend's body to the crowd of lecherous men. He wanted her all to himself. She's his.
Sasuke kissed her again, because he finds every little expression she used were cute.
Sakura rolled her eyes as she spied the couple kissing yet again.
"Sheesh! This is like the 10th time they kiss!" Sakura threw up her hands.
"Getting tired of single-girl status already?" Ino asked, stirring her tequila.
"I feel a little left out. Both of you are so coupled up!" Sakura nodded at Ino and Naruto.
"Aw, Sakura, I could recommend some of my friends to you," Sasuke said, coming up to their table. His arm was wrapped possessively on Hinata's waist.
"Uh, no thanks. From my experience, nothing good will come out of it." Sakura waved her hand to dismiss Sasuke's helpful suggestion.
"Suit yourself. Though I have to say Hinata and I got along pretty well." Sasuke squeezed Hinata's waist a little.
Sakura gave Sasuke a withered look. Sakura knew she had to come to terms with Hinata dating a warlock like Sasuke. She just never places much trust on him even though the sisters had vanquished his demonic half, Itachi. Hinata loves Sasuke, and that was all it matters. She would definitely not associate herself with any of Sasuke's friends.
Ino and Naruto scooted over for Hinata and Sasuke.
Just as he sat down, Sasuke's phone began to ring. "Crap," Sasuke said because he hated to be called away on an assignment when he was spending precious time with the woman he loves.
"Who is it?" Hinata asked, flinging her long hair over her shoulders.
"Iruka. I'll come back soon, love." Sasuke kissed Hinata lightly on the lips before heading out of the Gash (a bar) to receive his call.
After Sasuke, Naruto looked at Ino ruefully. "My charge is calling for me. Sorry, honey."
"It's okay, dear. Go do your thing."
Naruto gave Ino a peck and walked out of the bar to 'orb' in an alleyway or somewhere quiet sans people.
Hinata noticed that Naruto was working long hours. She commented, "His charges are always in trouble around this time of year, huh?"
"You know it," Ino said.
Sakura sat up straight. "Am I missing something?" she asked. "Why would Naruto's charges be in trouble? Is there some big monster thingie I should know about?"
Hinata grinned. Sakura was new being a Charmed One. Ino and Hinata had known for years now about their Wiccan heritage, but Sakura had discovered it only recently. "No monster," Hinata told Sakura. "Just Samhain."
"Sow'n? What is that?" Sakura asked.
"Today is Samhain," Hinata said. "It's a sort of New Year's celebration for witches."
"And for all sorts of demons, warlocks and mischievous spirits," Ino added dryly. "Demons love a good party."
"So, you mean all those ghouls and ghosts out there trick-or-treating might actually be ghosts and ghouls?" Sakura asked?
Hinata nodded. "The days leading up to Halloween, or Samhain, are always filled with extra-magical happenings. That's because Samhain is on the day on which the veil between our world and the world of the dead is thinnest. So evil spirits can slip through." She hesitated. "Or good spirits."
Ino narrowed her eyes. "What are you up to?" she asked.
"Nothing," Hinata answered, trying to sound as innocent as possible, but it was useless. She could never lie to Ino.
"Well?" Ino pressed.
Busted. "Okay, I was planning to do a little Samhain magic."
"By yourself?" Ino said. Sakura kept quiet. She looked fascinated at the idea of conducting a little Samhain magic.
Hinata nodded at Ino's question. "Sasuke was away, helping out Iruka with one of his cases today," she said. "So, I figured I would try a Samhain spell I found in the Book of Shadows. I did it by myself this afternoon, but it didn't work."
"Hina, you know it could be dangerous," Ino lectured. "Magically, this is a crazy day. Your spell could intersect with some other magic and go wrong."
"It's just a simple little talk to the dead spell. I even copied it down in a piece of paper." Hinata procured a small folded white piece of paper from her pocket and passed it to an eager-looking Sakura. But then, a serious thought crossed Sakura's mind.
"Isn't this against the rules? I mean, we're not supposed to use magic for personal gain, right?" Sakura asked.
"By George, I think she's got it," Ino said.
Sakura stuck a tongue out at Ino. When Sakura first came into her powers, she hadn't taken her responsibilities seriously. The Charmed One's job was to protect innocents. Sakura had played around a bit, doing magic spells for her own use. It had led to some pretty disastrous consequences. Now, Sakura knew better than to fool around with her craft.
"It is mostly against the rules," Ino said. "But Hina seems to think she's found a loophole. And you and I are to make sure nothing goes wrong."
"You're going to help me?" Hinata asked hopefully.
"Hold it. Who are we summoning anyway?" Sakura's hand shot up.
Ino looked expectantly at Hinata. "Good question," she said.
"An ancestor," Hinata told them. "One of the other Halliwell witches."
"Like Grams?" Ino asked. "Or Mom?"
"The spell isn't specific," Hinata said slowly. "We call for one of the witches from our line, but we cannot control who answers. I was hoping maybe it would be TenTen."
Sakura's breath caught in her throat. Ten Ten was Ino's and Hinata's older sister, who had died in a battle with a wind demon. Sakura knew no matter how much her sisters loved her, she would never replace Ten Ten in their hearts. Sakura often felt that she was letting ino and Hinata down because she wasn't as powerful a witch as Ten Ten had been. At least not yet.
But what if we can really summon up Ten Ten's spirit? Sakura thought. Maybe she could teach me some of her magic, help me be a stronger witch. Even though Sakura never met Ten Ten, she felt a connection with her. They were half sisters after all, and Hinata and Ino had talked so much about Ten Ten that Sakura felt she knew her.
Her excitement faded when she noticed Ino's face. She'd grown pale, and her eyes bore grief. "I don't think that will happen," Ino said simply. She gave Hinata a sympathetic smile. "Don't get your hopes up, okay?"
Hinata nodded. "Iknow it's a long shot."
Sakura wished she knew how to comfort her sisters. She knew they'd never really get over losing Ten Ten. She understood how difficult it was to lose a loved one because her adoptive parents had been killed in a car crash when she was still a teenager.
"Well, whoever comes will be welcome," she said, trying to sound cheerful. "Let's do it."
They sat close to each other; Ino and Sakura holding the paper in their hands whilst Hinata recited it from memory.
Halliwell witches, hear us thee.
Into the world now let us see.
On Samhain the veil is thin.
Pull it back and let us in.
Hinata pictured the veil between the world of the living and the world of the dead. In her mind's eye, she saw a thin, shimmering curtain. Everything on her side of it was crystal clear, but on the other side of the curain, things looked blurry. She could see shapes moving but couldn't quite make out what they were.
"Pull it back and let us in," she murmured again.
Suddenly one blurry shape grew clear. It was the silhouette of a woman. Hinata felt her heart thumping hard in her ribcage.
"Hinata," the image whispered.
Hinata gasped and fainted.
"Lord Baron!" The servant banged his master's door. "Something's happened!"
The stone door swung open to reveal a hulk of a man with burnt-looking charcoal skin. "You disturbed my slumber!" he roared and lifted his ironclad hand to strike.
The servant threw himself on his master's feet. "The witch's pendant has been glowing so brightly. I knew you would want to be told immediately!"
Now, Lord Baron dropped his hand. "How is that possible?" he murmured, almost to himself. "Her magic should be gone, vanisged from the world."
"S-Samhain, master?" the servant ventured to say.
"Yes!" Lord Baron bellowed. "There is magic afoot. Someone has opened a portal."
Instantly, Lord Baron sprang into action. The servant rushed to keep up as Lord Baron descended into the pit below his lair. In the pit, on the stone altar, lay the witch's pendant, a simple cameo, glowing with white light.
Lord Baron scooped up the pendant and held it aloft between his abnormally large hand with razor-sharp fingernails. "At last, I shall have them both," he said triumphantly. "The witch and her demon lover. I shall have them both!"
