Author's Note: I am sorry these chapters are short, but this story is suppose to be destined this way. I would take forever to update if I wrote all chapters. I also try to imagine Hina/Kagome is about 14-15 in this story. Girls this age would be considered woman, but Hina/Kagome doesn't remember nothing. I think that gives her a child-like innocence, don;t you think?
I love the reviews I am getting. Some of you are giving me great ideas and I am planning to cooperate them into my story line. Thanks!
Chapter 6: Origins Unknown
"Mother, are you sure?" Tai asked his mother, worried. In this small village, Tai heard what happened on the beach between his mother and Hina. She adopted Hina into the family, without his consent. Yet Tala, was the spiritual leader of his village and her decisions were always for a good reason.
He watched as Hina danced around the fire with the other girls her age. At her age, girls were married or about to marry. "We could find her a husband."
Tala shook her head, watching her daughter dance. "No.' Tala said, with certainty. "Our little Hina will marry in time. Not yet." Tala knew that Hina was destined for greater things, the Gods sent Tala messages in the water and fires she tended. "Hina must remember who she was before falling out of the sky."
Tai watched his daughter Moana wobble to Hina. His new sister picked up the toddler and swung her around. A bright smile on both of their faces. "She said she remembers nothing."
Tala touched the necklace around her neck, inside the heart of Te Fiti. "She won't. Not yet. The Gods have told me otherwise but Hina must regain her strength and power." That set Tai on edge, Tala realized her son's reaction. "She didn't harm before. Hina was a healer of great skill." Tai relaxed a bit. He still worried for the village, but his mother was wise. He needed to trust her judgement.
Tai although had come to a decision about Hina. "Mother, Hina's origins must remain a mystery to the children of the village." Moana and the future generations must not know Hina came from the sky. He needed to protect the village from unknown dangers and hiding Hina's origins would help.
Tala agreed. For now, Hina's origins would remain a secret. For now, her daughter needed to be kept a secret from the world outside the island.
