To Begin Again

Chapter Nine

Kagome smiled at the woman, Mo'at, as she looked to the sun starting to rise, "Yes, I couldn't rest anymore. There are many things on my mind." That was true; she had a lot on her mind. How she was stuck in this body, and couldn't go back to her own. This fact had started to sink in more now that she had time to herself.

That wasn't the only thing that kept her awake though, memoirs are a powerful thing. The memories she has are filled with blood and fighting. The soft whispers and pleas of the ones she loved. The things she went thought for the safety of her family.

Sometimes she wished she could take a lot of her choices back, but other times she knew that sacrifices are what make the world the way it is. Kagome would never know for sure, but she did know that the battles she had been in, she wouldn't' change it.

Everything happened for a reason.

This is what she believed, but it didn't mean she liked that fact.

Mo'at could tell she didn't want to say anymore and gestured her to follow her, "Come…we have a lot to talk about….and and your new teachers to meet."

Nodding Kagome followed after the woman, not saying anything as they walked in silence to the room Kagome was first led by Mo'at when they learned what she was.

"Sit" the older woman instructed, and Kagome did so. She had a feeling the day was going to be a long one. She didn't know why but she did. Then again, being put on the spot because she was to be something she didn't think she was…..yeah…that could be the reason she felt the day was going to be long.

"Long ago, there was a prophecy made, that one day the daughter of Eywa would come and lead us away from many horror that would come." Mo'at looked at Kagome a soft smile on her lips, " We didn't think she would come, our chosen one. But we are happy to finally have you."

Kagome didn't really know what to say, but suffice with the next question that came into her head, "Will I be accepted here? Or will I be treated as an outside…." Kagome paused for a second before continuing, "Because that is what I technically am…."

The older woman gave a soft laugh, "You will be accepted here, no matter what. You are meant to be here….this is your home." She gently put a hand on Kagome's cheek, "This will be your home now….isn't that what you have been seeking for so long?"

Kagome frowned slightly as the elder woman removed her hand from her cheek, "Are you that insightful to know that is what I have been searching for?"

Mo'at laughed, "I just know what to look for, and I am older and wiser than most here." She gave Kagome a cheeky grin, showing her younger side, "There is much for you to learn though…..I can tell that being in your body you have now is easier for you…compared to your companion."

Kagome gave a soft laugh, "I think anyone has more luck compared to Jake." She only known him for a little while and she could already tell that he had a knack for finding trouble.

Looking to the rising sun, Kagome could hear movement meaning people were starting to rise, "Everyone raises early here it seems."

Mo'at nodded, "They do, we have a lot to do and don't want to waste any time."

Kagome nodded, she understood that. The villages in Feudal Era did the same way, getting up early to hunt food, care for the sick, just regular day to day life.

Kagome could tell she was going to like living here; it would be like her home she had to leave behind. She couldn't wait to learn more about them.

"When will I meet my other teacher?" Kagome asked, she was ready to get her day started that and she was rather curious on who was going to teacher her, and what they were going to teach.

The woman looked at Kagome, "I have decided to give you another teacher, since you don't know our ways. He shall help you with those learnings. You shall learn from me, as well as a healer of our clan. "

Kagome nodded in understanding, "I understand."

The elder woman smirked, "One shall be arriving…." She turned as she heard footsteps, "now."

Kagome turned to see who entered and her back straightened and hair bristled slightly, she really didn't want to be around him.

He was stuck up!

"Tsu'tey, come. Your student is here waiting for you to take her out and teach her our ways. You are hunting today if I am not mistaken"

Kagome glared at the man, she really didn't like him. He was too full of himself, and she was learning from! No!

"Hunt?" Kagome questioned surprised and bit back a snarl as Tsu'tey sneered at her.

"You don't even know I was to teach you…" He bit out, making Kagome glare at him more, "We leave now…..I don't want to waste daylight because you are incompetent."

He turned and gave a nod to Mo'at and she chuckled and turned to Kagome, "You shall learn to hunt and use weapons. We all learn this when we come of age, and you shall do the same…now off you go."

Nodding Kagome did as she was told, but still glared at her 'teacher'. The day had better go fast, because there was no way in hell she wanted to spend it with him.
