Chapter Three - No Such Thing As A Free Lunch
After two weeks in the strange new world she was summoned by God into Ashley was growing slightly anxious and just a little bit lonely. She had taken to being a traveling messenger of sorts and had met many strange but interesting people. A lot of villages allowed her entrance as long as she didn't cause trouble but she had been kicked out of two villages for being "a spy" and three others for "being a raving lunatic."
At least no one had attacked her or anything. It was difficult living in a world where she was the one with the most knowledge of God in. In her old life she had been going to collage to be a high school science teacher and even though she had a lot of knowledge about God and her faith she didn't have a complete understanding of it. She had only read through the Bible maybe twice in her life and mostly fell back on memory verses and lessons that she miraculously could remember. She felt very fortunate so far. Whenever someone had a question she didn't have an answer to she would feel the spirit of God within her supply her with the answers she needed.
It was evening and since she wasn't anywhere around a town she had begun to set up a makeshift camp, recalling midnight adventures with her brother as they spent their summers camping in the Colorado Rockies. It had been the worst month of her life when her father had signed them both up for Wilderness Survival Camp. But now she was grateful that she knew how to start fires without matches and how to catch fish without lines.
Her campsite was a ways away from the shallow river where she had set up a fish corral and with a groan as she stretched she walked away from her camp to check for dinner. There was only one fish in the pen but it was enough to feed herself for dinner so she quickly caught it and disassembled her corral before heading back to her campsite. When she got there two men were sitting by the fire, settling in as though they intended to stay no matter what the current occupant wanted.
They were wearing long black cloakish coats with stylized red clouds emblazoned on them, one was wearing a head covering and the other had silver hair and a three bladed scythe strapped to his back. Ashley remembered the man from about a week and a half ago. He had passed by and heckled her in front of several kids she had been teaching.
So she simply sat across the fire from them and calmly began to clean her fish. She smiled over at him and simply nodded her head in greeting and said, "Good to see you again. How are you doing?"
The other man looked over and gruffly asked, "You know this woman, Hidan?"
Hidan animately shook his head, "Hell no, I think I would remember someone who looked so foreign- wait, now I remember, you're that chick with the peace god I saw a while ago! How goes the corruption of souls whore?"
The insults stung but Ashley didn't let them bother her, she was bound to run into problems in this world.
Hidan had gotten worked up at the sight of her nonchalance though and continued to egg her, "Jashin is a true god of power you know. He grants me immortality to carry out his will so I can completely annihilate the godless heathens of this world. At least you're not completely godless though. But you are misguided since my god's the bomb and yours does what? Probably nothing but blesses babies and saves kittens or some shit."
Ashley frowned, he could insult her all she wanted but the instant he insulted her God the line had been stepped over. With all the righteous anger she could muster she growled, "He is the God of Gods who created the entire universe and everything in heaven, earth and hell is under his dominion. He is the maker of humanity and all who reject him will have their immortal souls cast into hell for eternity because they chose to be his enemy rather than his follower."
Hidan growled back and reached for his scythe, "I'm going to give you a demonstration of my lord Jashin's glorious teachings for being such a misguided heathen. I will kill you bitch!"
Fearlessly she leaned over the fire to gaze confidentially at him and said, "Go ahead and kill me then, if I die God will just bring another messenger to these lands. If it's God's will that I die here it will be so but if it His will that his word is spread it will happen no matter who tries to stand in his way."
With a howl of rage Hidan swung out his scythe with enough force and at such close range he would likely lob her head off rather than nick her. Unfortunately for Hidan he missed her completely. There was a crash and Hidan fell over from his scythe ricocheting off a tree and bluntly into his forehead.
Ashley let out a giggle and said, "I suppose God doesn't want me dead quite yet. Now do you mind telling me what your problem is? You weren't this ballistic the last time we met."
The answer came in the sound a low growling that filled the campsite. Kakuzu shook his head, embarrassed at the sound of Hidan's grumbling stomach. The two hadn't stopped to eat in three days but Kakuzu had a higher tolerance for hunger pains then Hidan did.
"If you were hungry you could've told me so. I'll share my food with you if you're hungry." Ashly said gesturing to the fish she had speared onto a sharpened stick. She looked at Kakuzu and grinned, "I'll share with you if you're hungry too."
Kakuzu stared balefully at the fish on the stick before saying, "You only have one fish."
A twinkle entered Ashley's eyes and she said, "God will provide." And then she gave a quick prayer before beginning to cook the fish. Hidan silently glowered into the fire, listening to the silent signal from Kakuzu to not kill the girl until a later day. A few minutes later the fish came piping hot out of the fire and Ashley carefully pulled some meat off the bones and moved to sit between the two men.
Ashley moved the stick so the fish could easily be reached by both of the men and said, "Here, just pull the meat off. We'll all eat until we're finished."
The two nodded and began to eat. It wasn't until after five minutes of continuous eating that both Hidan and Kakuzu noticed something was a little weird. For one there was still fish left and for another it seemed like there wasn't any less fish from when they had started. Ashley was absolutely beaming and internally she prayed thanking and praising God for working through her to feed all three of them.
As they ate Kakuzu and Hidan's thoughts tried not to focus on the impossible thing that was happening but it wasn't really working very well. Kakuzu tried to brush it off as a weird genjutsu even though it was completely obvious that the woman next to him never had a day of ninja training in her life. Hidan was panicking at the though that her god might be as real as his was. Jashin was the God of Death and Kami was the God of Life. There couldn't be other gods that were worshiped in the world. The thought that there could be a God as powerful as the little priestess had bragged about was worrisome. Seriously, a sovereign God over all heaven hell and earth? It couldn't be possible.
An hour later Hidan had gorged himself to the point of almost getting sick and Kakuzu was completely stuffed as well. Ashley wrapped the leftovers to keep it fresh and divided it equally into three portions before handing Kakuzu and Hidan each a share. There had to be at least two pounds of fish for each of them. Ashley smiled and said, "You two can take this with you so if you get hungry later you'll have something to eat."
"How did you do that?" Kakuzu asked. Oh the expenses he could save if he only had to buy a loaf of bread and have it last him a month.
Ashley smiled and said, "It was not of my own power but that of my God's. He has control over all his creation so of course making more fish isn't impossible for him."
Hidan wasn't sure Kakuzu could feel it but now that he was paying close attention to her there was something about her that made his skin crawl. There was an unearthly power radiating off her, more vast and as commanding as the power of a person with a sealed beast within them but the power was holy and frightening, not malicious and destructive. 'Is it even possible' Hidan wondered, 'That a god could be sealed into a human in a way that a tailed beast was?'
As he left with Kakuzu to continue their travels he promised himself that the next time he met the woman, he would unleash all the powers of an immortal Jashinist priest on her to reveal the true abilities of a possible god sealed sacrifice.
