Chapter 1: Hiten's Ashes

You know I don't own Inuyasha so I think I should only have to say it once!

Aset is another name for the Egyptian goddess Isis but in my story it's the name of her daughter and yes in my story she has a daughter as well as her son Horus. Plus Aset will be the goddess of the heavens. So if you have a problem with it tough stuff!! But her character belongs to me!!!

A lonely tear slid down the woman's face as she saw her son turn to dust. The lowly half demon who had just slain her son ran over to where the human girl was. The figure hiding in the shadows of the ruined trees was beginning to regret saving the human and the kit with the fox demon's last ounce of magic. Yet she enjoyed the look on the hanyou's face when he realized he revealed more than he wanted. It was quite priceless. It seemed like forever before the group of misfits left.

Slowly Aset walked toward the place where Hiten had scattered into the wind. She summoned the wind to collect his ashes and place them in the silver urn she held in her hands. When the task was done, Aset decided to return home to Egypt. There she would call on her mother Isis, the goddess of life, to bring Hiten back to life. "Soon my love," she quietly whispered, "We will finally be together." And with that she called upon a cloud to whisk her back across the land and sea. Back to where the goddess herself was born.

It took only half a day to reach Cairo. Aset had to be careful that no mortal saw her land. She quickly changed into her human form, and cloaked herself in the black attire that some Egyptian women wore. She had to travel from Cairo to the ruins at the temple of Carnak. It was too risky to fly through the air without being seen. So she decided to take a camel. It was time to work her magic. "Please sir I need to procure a camel yet I do not have the money to accomplish this feat," the goddess quietly spoke. Her voice was soft and convincing. It easily put the herdsman under a spell. He eagerly gave her the camel and wished her a safe trip to her destination.

Three days and nights later Aset was greeted by the morning sun rising in the background of Carnak's ancient figure. The temple had been destroyed in the last great battle for Egypt. It was rarely used for when a mortal or even an immortal was brought back to life. Here her mother would perform the necessary tasks to revive the young youkai. She was quickly greeted by her mother as she got off the camel.

"Aset, I am pleased you have returned home safely," Isis said as she embraced her daughter warmly. It had been about a century since Aset had been in Egypt.

"Yes, as well as I. I am glad to be back, Mother", Aset sighed as she returned the hug. She gave a small smile and turned around to detach the silver urn from its safe spot.

"So this is my youngest grandson? The son whom you left in the East with his father?", Isis questioned. She never understood why Aset did this. She had done the same years before with her first born. Isis decided she would speak with her daughter later about this. "Wait here while I prepare for the ritual", she commanded.

It was about an hour later when a servant came and told Aset it was time. She trudged quietly behind and kept looking down at the urn. The more she thought about it the more she wondered if Hiten would forgive her for leaving him as a child.

When she arrived to the center of the temple, the servant turned and carefully took the urn. It was handed to Isis, who was clothed in a white dress with an ankh on the bust. She also wore a crown that was decorated with ankhs and the eye of Ra.

Slowly Isis opened the lid and began to chant a spell to call the wind forth. Before her stood a spiral of wind and into it she threw Hiten's ashes. With another spell she called the ashes to form back into the body they once were. As the body was forming she turned to the primordial pool behind her and began to call for Hiten's spirit. Isis turned again so that she was sideways and the complete body and pool was within her gaze. With raised hands she commanded Hiten's spirit to return to his body. Spirit and flesh fused together in a blinding light. Aset quickly opened her eyes to see Hiten alive, but he was asleep.

Isis walked down from the top of the steps to look at her creation. "Mardian, bring me some clothes befitting a son of our divinity", Isis commanded her servant. She walked over to her daughter who was nearly in tears.

"He will remain asleep for two more days. His body is exhausted from the battle and recreation. That will give you time to summon up the courage to face him", she said as she laid her hand on Aset's shoulder. "I know you fear what he might say when he awakens and learns the truth as well as the prophecy."

Aset looked at her mother and mentally thanked her. She called on a couple of the clouds that were floating above to descend. Hiten was placed gently on the first cloud and she got on the other. The clouds began to lift and travel towards the heavens. They were traveling to Aset's palace.
