Chapter 06 – Priestess From The Future
"You seem to be surprised, did you expect someone else?" He asked with smirk and Kagome tried to find some excuse for her reaction. After all, in time where she lives, he is already dead, how else should she react?
"No, it's not that. I am just honored I could meet you in person." She managed to say and he seemed to accept her answer.
"Very well then. Come closer, I would like to discuss something with you." He sat on the chair behind the desk and she stopped on the other side, opposite to him.
"Do you recognize the spell in this scroll?" He handed her one of the scrolls, which laid on the desk and she looked at it. How could I know it? Miroku maybe would know, or Kaede, but I know hardly the basics about this stuff. When she didn't answer, he spoke again.
"It contains a spell, which was supposed to give me the answers about the future of my son, but it seems it didn't work. I sent for you to use it for me or tell me how to make it work."
"Wait, you mean I am stuck here only because of this paper?" She cried out angrily, but then she paused. "I'm sorry, I didn't want to yell at you, I didn't mean to." She babbled, but he stopped her.
"Then are you saying that it worked?" He asked without a hint of anger. She was surprised by it, she expected him to be angry. If she have yelled like this at his sons, one would have probably killed her and the second would have at least yelled at her.
She thought about what she should say. But if she was here because of this spell, then it meant, that she was here to give him the answers for his questions. So it shouldn't cause any damage in the future, whatever she'd say.
"I guess so. I was sent here from the future, so it must be doing of this spell. I already travel between two times, but this is the first time I ended up in another time than those two." She explained and he nodded. There was just a silence following after that and Kagome was starting to get nervous. She wanted to say something to break the silence, but didn't know what. In the end, a noise coming from her stomach helped her to solve part of it.
"May I ask you for something to eat? I didn't eat anything from yesterday afternoon and I'm already quite hungry." She asked carefully with a slight blush, not knowing how would he react, but he just smiled.
"I'll tell to the servant to bring you something, then we will talk." She nodded and he left the room.
