InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Some things are meant to be ❯ A run-in with Destiny ( Chapter 2 )

Disclaimer: *sob, sob* But, but why not!

 

GJay: Well, with some, er, persuasive maneuvering, I have managed to make Inuyasha give Kagome her CD player back, and I waken up Miroku, who was promptly knocked out again by Sango, because he groped her.

 

Sesshy: Are you surprised?

 

GJay: No, I can't say that I am.

 

Shippo: *tugging on GJay's pants* Have you seen Kilala?

 

GJay: I think Sango rode away on her a few minutes ago.

 

Shippo: Oh. Have you seen my mommy?

 

GJay: She's in her bedroom listening to her CD player.

 

Shippo: Oh. Where's Inuyasha?

 

GJay: (loud banging sounds coming from somewhere else) Um, well, he's kind of, tied up at the moment.

 

Sesshy: He's hogtied in the closet in his bedroom.

 

GJay: Okay, time to start the chapter! *mumbling* Sesshomaru, I'm going to kill you…

 

Some Things are Meant to be

 

Ch2- A run-in with Destiny…

 

Kagome looked around the clearing Sesshomaru had left her in. It was relatively small, and kind of cozy-looking. Kagome laid down on the comfortable grass (AN: it's late- anything can be comfortable) and fell asleep.

 

~Kagome's Dream~

 

Kagome was sitting on what appeared to be a cloud. And she was looking down at what appeared to be the place where she and her friends camped out for the night. As she watched, she felt the strange sensation of déjà vu. Then she realized why- she was watching what happened earlier that day.

She saw them settle down for the night, and Inuyasha take off into the woods. But instead of continuing to watch everyone else, the cloud followed Inuyasha, and suddenly she could hear every sound.

 

~Pause in Kagome's Dream and switch to Inuyasha and the rest of the gang~

 

Inuyasha looked around at his friends sprawled out all over camp. He was happy that sleep had come to them easily, but it had eluded him. He just couldn't stop thinking about Kagome, and hoping she was safe.

 

~flashback~

 

Inuyasha entered a small clearing where Kikyo was standing. She was as beautiful as always, but he just couldn't help wrinkling his nose at the smell of death that followed her every move.

“Kikyo, what are you doing here,” he asked, coming to stand directly in front of him.

“Why, Inuyasha, aren't you glad to see me?” she replied with a wicked glint and a pouting smile. “Or would you rather be with my reincarnation?” she spat the words as if they were some foul thing she had tried to eat.

“Listen Kikyo-” Inuyasha was cut off.

“Inuyasha, you made a promise,” she rested her hand on his cheek, “and I know you still love me.”

“Kikyo-” he was cut off again, this time by her lips on his. Inuyasha groaned in frustration. This wasn't getting any easier. There was a rustle in the bushes, but Inuyasha didn't hear it. He finally managed to pull away.

“Kikyo, I don't love you any more, and I won't go to hell with you,” there, he said it. Now, how would she take it?

“Fine Inuyasha. I'll leave you to second best,” she said before walking into the trees. Inuyasha sighed. He had a very bad feeling about this.

 

~End Flashback. Switch to Kagome's dream. She has been seeing this happening~

 

Kagome watched as Inuyasha walked into the forest. She couldn't believe it. Did she really just see Inuyasha turn Kikyo away? She realized that it must have been real, because it was correct up to the exact minute when she saw them and ran away. It was weird, to say the least.

 

~End Kagome's dream~

 

Kagome woke with a start to get another one - Sesshomaru was staring at her. At first she couldn't remember what happened, but then it all came flooding back to her, including her dream. She couldn't help but feel the dream was what really happened, but how could she be sure? Kagome mentally shrugged and looked at Sesshomaru. “Did you find something to eat?” she asked, stretching her limbs.

Sesshomaru motioned towards the middle of the clearing where a fire was roaring nicely. Over it, some sort of meat was cooking and giving off a scent that made her mouth water. Sesshomaru's indignant mask was still in place, but secretly he was glad she liked it.

After eating, they settled down for the night, Sesshomaru raising an inquisitive brow at her when she asked if he happened to have a sleeping bag. It was a peaceful night, Sesshomaru keeping watch and Kagome sleeping the night away. In the morning, they got rid of any traces of their camp and started walking. Kagome wondered why Sesshomaru didn't just summon his cloud thing, but she didn't ask and he didn't say anything.

About half way through the morning, there was a sudden noise in the bush next to them. Before either had a chance to react, a young woman, about 18 or so popped out and stood on the path. After taking one look at them, she promptly burst out laughing. This definitely did not please Sesshomaru and succeeded in thoroughly confusing Kagome.

Finally the woman calmed down and said, “I'm sorry, really, I don't normally do that. But you should have seen the looks on your faces.” She giggled again, and Kagome took this time to study her. She was about 5'4”, with dark mahogany hair reaching to her butt. She had light gray colored eyes, slightly tanned skin and was slim. She wore a bright blue kimono with small silver stars and planets embroidered all over it. They obi was black and also had silver designs on it.

The strange woman began to speak. “Hi, my name is Destiny. Oh, but I'm not just any old girl with the name destiny. I'll bet that Sesshomaru over there is wondering why he couldn't, and still can't, smell or sense me.” At this, Sesshomaru almost started, realizing the girl was right. He couldn't smell her or sense the girl's presence. Stealing a glance at Kagome, he saw a very confused look, and realized that she could not feel Destiny's presence, either.

Destiny continued. “Well, I'll tell you. I'm not just any Destiny. I am THE Destiny. The ruler of futures, the decider of fate, the knower of all! Well, besides God, that is, but He's my boss and He gave me the title.” She paused and took a really good look at them. Kagome's mouth was hanging open and her eyes were as large as they would go. Past Sesshomaru's emotionless mask was a face of pure shock. Destiny grinned, and decided that she was definitely going to have fun with these two.

“Anyways, my job is to make whatever God decides to happen happen. I can pretty much do whatever I want, so I basically control your lives. I can see into the future so I know what actions will lead where. But enough about me, let's talk about you. Have you ever heard the saying, `Don't mess with Destiny' or the saying `Don't fight your Destiny'? Well, you guys are messing with your destinies. Since you don't know it, or how, I'm not really mad. But here's the thing: three prophecies were told -thanks to me- and they have to do with you and every one you are closest to. Some of your actions have, believe it or not, put those prophesies in danger of being fulfilled by the wrong people.” She took a moment to laugh at this, and Kagome and Sesshomaru took the break to think about what they had learned so far.

Three prophesies, huh? I wonder what they are, and if they are important. Everyone we're closest to? Okay, that's Inuyasha, Sango, Miroku, Shippo, and who else? Kagome's thoughts dwindled from that point.

Sesshomaru, however, thought other things along the lines of, If these “prophecies” are fulfilled by the wrong people, then some thing is bound to go wrong somewhere down the line. It would be amusing to see this Destiny be in trouble with Kami himself. About this time, Destiny stopped laughing and resumed talking.

“Anyways, that could literally change the future. So here's what I'm going to do - you're each going to be put on a spell that will last only two days. I'm not going to tell you what the spell is, so don't ask. Oh, before I forget - because I have a tendency to do that, and interrupt myself, too. Oops, I just did that, huh? As I was saying - Kagome, I hope you appreciate that dream. That is what really happened, and I had to go into the dream world to do it.” She shivered. “I hate the dream world. It freaks me out. Anyways, what I was saying before… oh yeah! Okay, over the next two days you are going on a journey. Now normally, going to Sesshomaru's castle is no big deal, but there are going to be a few surprises along the way. Now really, I must be on my way. Have fun!” And the giggling young woman disappeared into the sky, two incredibly confused beings watching from the ground.

GJay: so what did you think? I hope it was okay!

 

Destiny: Do I really talk like that?

 

Everyone: Yes!

 

Inuyasha: I thought you said that the chapters were going to be longer. And WAS IT NECCESARY TO HOGTIE ME AND LOCK ME IN THE CLOSET? I REALLY HAD TO GO TO THE BATHROOM!

 

GJay: *sweatdrops* eheh, you were being mean.

 

Kagome: Yeah! And by the way, SIT! SIT!

 

Inuyasha: *kissing the ground* what was that for!

 

Kagome: For taking my cd player and yelling at the author!

 

Shippo: Inuyasha said a bad word!

 

Kagome: SIT!

 

Miroku: I would never do any thing like that to you Sango (gropes her butt)

 

Sango: HENTAI! (Slaps Miroku)

 

Miroku: Look at the pretty birdies.

 

GJay: *sigh* he will never learn.

 

Sesshomaru: Indeed.

 

Inuyasha: Review please. Maybe if I do something right I won't get slapped any more.

 

GJay: Ahhhhhhhhhhh! Thank you Inuyasha!

 

Inuyasha: No problem. *does happy dance* I'm not kissing dirt!
