Chapter 3
Chandra
Black Elk looked at Kagome," Could you please make more tea? Although we may need something stronger later. I'll tell you everything I know about Chandra and her family."
After everyone was settled, black Elk began,"I met Chandra about four years ago. When she came to my home to meet me. She was doing a geneology chart of her family, and I have a lot of information about Native American tribes in the area. She was looking for that branch of her family. Although, I couldn't help her, we became great friends. When I realized the power she has, I agreed to work with her to become a shaman.
You must understand, Chandra has changed. Kagome, you remind me of her then. She was open, loving, and forgiving. Even if she had little or no reason to trust you, she was this way. She and her husband supported many causes, especially if it was for children. That's how it all started. Jon and Chandra attended a formal charity event, much like the one tonight, and their picture was published in the paper.
A man named Paul Onigumo saw her, and became obsessed with her. The man was not mentally stable and he started to stalk her. First, came emails, then phone calls. She contacted the police and had a restraining order put against him. It did little to stop him, more like made him angry at her rejection. She wouldn't let Jon buy a gun, afraid the kids would find it and hurt themselves. He did talk her into getting a dog, a Fila Brasilerio, because they only held down an intruder, not going for the kill.
The old man's eyes teared, but he continued. I'll never forget that day. Chandra had stopped to get some herbs, and visit with me. When she got home, Onigumo was there. He had killed the dog, who was really just a pup. Shot Jon, and slit both her girls' throats. He was sitting on the couch holding her dead daughters, covered in their blood. She tried to run, but he caught her. Something inside her just snapped then I think. Somehow, she overpowered him and when they found her, she had slit his throat and was stabbing him repeatedly. That's what the police told me, she won't speak of it.
She collapsed at the funeral and was unconscious for a week. The doctors said that she was catatonic from the stress. I know better, Chandra was in the great silence, trying to join her family. The only thing that brought her back was her stepchildren, her step son begged her to come back. He told her he needed her, and he loved her. He begged her not to let the last reminder of his dad and sisters leave him. A part of Chandra died that day, it's been replaced by something hard and cold. If you cause her to have any doubt about you, she will shut you out or she gets violent. Hell, half her family is terrified of her and no one crosses her. She has become proficient in handling a gun, bow, and crossbow. She breeds dogs that will kill with a word, every one of these dogs here are trained to kill. And she hides her beauty, both inside and out now.
You see, Chandra blames herself for what happened. She insisted that they go to that event. Then, she stopped Jon from doing anything to truly protect them. She believed that the authorities would take care of him. She says she should have known better, and losing her family is her punishment. What she refuses to see is that this was destiny, she couldn't have stopped it, no matter what she did. She had to go through this, to prepare her for what's ahead.
Black Elk finished speaking and looked around the room at the group gathered there. Kagome and Sango were pale with tears streaming down their cheeks. Miroku and Inuyasha looked stunned. Sesshomaru's reaction shocked the old shaman, his normal calm expression was gone, replaced with rage. "I see now why Chandra wanted me here. This man is a viscious killer.", he thought to himself.
Kagome sniffled, wiped her eyes and said, "But she has been nothing but gracious and giving with us. Not at all like you said." Black Elk answered, " Chandra has been having dreams. She has been expecting a group of people to show up here, needing her help. She says Jon told her you were coming, and when she finished helping you that she would be reunited with her family. I think she means to die sending you back." Sango and Kagome gasped, but Sesshomaru spoke up, "If her destiny is to die helping us, then so be it. She will do what she has to do. No one could stop that one if they tried."
"Very true, Lord Sesshomaru.", Black Elk replied, "But she's going to very pissed off. My visions tell me her path lies a different direction. She won't die sending you back, she's going with you. The one who caused her pain is there, she needs revenge." Inuyasha shook his head and said one word, "Naraku".
Sesshomaru didn't think he could feel more rage, until he heard Inuyasha utter Naraku's name. He had recognized Onigumo's name, Kagome had told him about how Naraku had been created, but missed the signifigance until the old man said the woman was going back with them. "How was it he could travel through time? Why this woman? Again the woman. His thoughts started to go in circles, he would need to meditate and clear his head. The answers were somewhere.", he thought to himself.
Black Elk had been watching Sesshomaru from the corner of his eye. He could sense the sudden increase of rage coming from him, but this time it didn't show on his face. He glanced around at the others, and cleared his throat. "I would speak to you about one other thing.", he said,"That is this party." Kagome giggled and covered her mouth. "I'm afraid one or all of you are in for it. Chandra's sisters are notorious matchmakers and they are not subtle about it. As a matter of fact, they are downright perverted. " Miruko grinned at that , earning himself a slap across the face from Sango." They will ask extremely personal questions. Please make every attempt not to kill them. Chandra will do her best to keep them at bay. There's just too many of them.", he said. He looked to Kagome, "You know where everyone is to sleep?", at her nod. He said," Then this old man is going to bed. Sleep well all." He stood and left the room. Kagome picked up a now sleeping Shippou, and said, "If you will follow me, I'll show you where you'll sleep. " Everyone followed her from the room.
********************************
Kag ome led Sesshomaru to a door and stopped. "This is your room, Lord Sesshomaru. Chandra did ask me to tell you that she will be going through here to her room tonight, and she aked that if she wakes you please don't kill her .", she smiled as she spoke,"Good night, pleasant dreams." He opened the door and entered the room.
He was a little suprised at the room, especially the colors. A large room painted a midnight blue, somehow stripes of a shiny substance painted over it. Gold and white silk covered the windows and massive bed. At one end of the room was a set of french doors, again covered with silk. He could hear the sound of water from behind the door, curious he opened them.
He was suprised at what he found. It was the room in his dreams. He left knowing this was were Chandra slept.
He undressed a got into the bed, and realized why she put him here. The bed accommodated his height well and there was hardly a trace of scent to it. What scent he did pick up was hers, it was earthy and bore traces of lotus and kuku nut. Tthe scent was pleasing and he soon fell into a dreamless sleep for the first time in a long time.
************************************
Chandra snuck in about midnight, being as quiet as she could, so as not to wake Sesshomaru. She didn't know he had woke up as soon as her hand touched the doorknob. He watched her under half-closed eyes as she removed her jewelry and the let down her hair. She suddenly turned and looked at him to see if she had awakened him, but found him laying there peacefully. She grinned wondering what kind of game he was playing, knowing he was awake. She turned and entered the ensuite bathroom.
He sat up when he heard the door close, and the water start running. He couldn't believe her scent had soothed him into sleep so easily. He felt totally off balance, first he dreams of a human woman for months. A woman who seemed to call out to him, then, suddenly he is in her world and she is there in front of him. She had shown no fear of him, even when he grabbed her throat. As a matter of fact, the bitch challenged him right back. He felt a grudging respect forming for this woman. She was honorable and had a strength of heart that not many humans posessed. That was evidenced tonight when she regained control over her emotions, when most would have crumpled in a heap of tears.He heard the water shut off, and he watched the door for her to come out.
