Shards of Destiny
Kaede
I do not own Inuyasha or its characters. Rumiko Takahashi does, but I own Seresute.
After the fight with Sesshomaru, the group went to the village to see Kaede, the village priestess. The children came up to Kagome and Seresute and ran around them. Seresute noticed a little girl who stood alone. Her heart went out in pity to the girl. She stepped out of the circle of children and walked towards the girl. The child smiled a little when Seresute abandoned the other children and came to her. Seresute could tell the child was poor just by her clothes and how unkempt she was. Seresute held up her hand and a blue orb appeared, hovering a few inches from her palm. Kagome, Inuyasha and Shippo watched as Seresute took the child's hand and pressed the sphere into it. Before their very eyes, the child's clothing was new and she was clean. In the child's hand was the sphere, still glowing blue.
"Take this to your home and show it to your parents," Seresute whispered into the child's ear. She smiled and ran off, clutching the orb in her hand tightly. Inuyasha watched with awe. 'She's almost like Kikyo; she has her kindness,' he thought. Seresute was followed by a great many people as they got to Kaede's hut and entered. "Ah Kagome, you're back, my child," Kaede said, "I see you have Seresute accompanying you. Tell me child, how did you get her to come with you?" "She came to my home in the present and gave me a wish. I wished for her to be my long-lost sister," Kagome said. "Ah, I see," Kaede said thoughtfully, "Sister Kikyo tried summoning the Supreme Goddess, but failed. I've always wanted to meet the Supreme Goddess and this is the moment. Legend says that when life was new in the world, the Supreme Goddess came and brought into this world the Shikon Jewel. She entrusted it to the priestess of the village, my mother. After she passed away, she gave the jewel to Sister Kikyo. Kikyo died, but not before taking the jewel with her to the afterlife. Ever since that, the Goddess didn't come down to earth for a long time. Now it seems that Kagome has wished her into the world, to help people in need an-" "Blah, blah, blah. Why are we even talking about the Supreme Goddess? She just happens to be standing in the room with us right now," Inuyasha said grumpily. "Inuyasha! Show her respect!" Kagome said angrily, "We need to know why Sesshomaru acted so weird when he saw Seresute." "Sesshomaru! Oh no! This is bad indeed!" Kaede wailed. "Uhhhh...why is it bad?" Kagome asked, a sweatdrop appearing. "Sesshomaru has been seeking Seresute all over these lands. He even tears villages apart looking for her," Kaede said, "He's seen her before and fell in love with her." "SESSHOMARU! IN LOVE? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAA! That has got to be the funniest thing I have ever heard of," Inuyasha said wiping tears of mirth from his eyes. Seresute excused herself to get some fresh air and stepped outside. She unsheathed Ryukotsusei and gazed at it for a little bit. Sora, her unicorn, appeared and nuzzled her throat. Seresute ran her hand through Sora's white hair and sighed. "Maybe I should see Sesshomaru about this, shouldn't I Sora," she said to Sora, putting her face on the horse's muzzle. She sheathed Ryukotsusei and looked to the stars. 'Father, Mother...what would you have me do?' she thought. She put her arms in front of her, palms down, then she turned her palms to where they were facing up slightly. Another blue orb appeared, bigger this time. The orb's surface surrounded her and Sora and lifted them up in the air. Inuyasha had just come out and seen the whole thing, his mouth dropped all the way to the ground. 'She has a UNICORN! Those things are extinct!' he thought, 'Jeez!' He went back into the hut.That's it. Next chapter up soon!
