InuYasha Fan Fiction / Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction / Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ The Roses ❯ Seals and Spells ( Chapter 10 )

[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

That weird writing that makes up Tomoyo's spell is supposed to be Japanese. If you want to see the real Japanese so you can translate it there's a version of it on Fanfiction.net. It's the same story and I suggest you don't try to translate it just yet because it will reveal a secret from later in the story. Sorry this took so long but there was a really bad storm here and I lost power. And the first language is real, just not official. It's from a TV show, so it does mean something.

Chapter 10-Seals and Spells
 
Keiko grinned and skipped merrily the steps of the shine. It was easily. No one even knew the scroll was gone yet. Even then she doubted they would think she had done it, being such good friends with the spirit detectives. It was too easily, she guessed. Maybe something should have gone wrong.
 
Shaking the thought from her head she continued up the stairs and into the house. Her smile widened as she caught sight of the three girls in the living room. “Wow, you girls sure do work fast.” Most of the furniture had been moved and a circle of candles was laid out. Lying outside the circle like the corners of a square was a balloon, a glass, another candle, and a seed. Kagome shook her head. “Took you long enough. We're ready.”
 
Keiko grinned and stepped inside the circle with the rest of them. “Pick a corner.” Tomoyo whispered her voice soft. In the end Keiko stood in front of the seed while Kagome was in front of the balloon, Tomoyo with the water, and Hotaru with the candle. Hotaru leaned down and touched the tip of the candle, whispering softly under her breath. Keiko frowned. “What language is that?” Kagome looked over at her. “An old dialect of Reikai. They stopped using it after the war.” Keiko nodded and watched as the candle flickered on. Picking it up she tipped the flame onto one of the other candles, still muttering words she couldn't understand. The minute the first candle was put back the rest lit up.
 
Keiko took a deep breath and picked the seed up, holding it between cupped hands. The words flowed out of her mouth, even if she had no idea what she was saying. “Arik tree'ac te kek. Dal shakka mel. Kree no tel reenlokai. Mekta satak oz. Ya duru arik kek onac. Shel kek nem ron.” The seed in her hand grew, until a sunflower was settled in her palm. Setting it down she looked over at Tomoyo as the placed her hand over the glass and whispered. Slowly the glass filled with water and she looked over at Kagome with a nod. Kagome repeated the process as the balloon filled with air. They stood and moved closer together till their shoulders were touching. Keiko took a deep breath and finished the spell. “Cal mah. Chel nok. Hasshak. Arik tree'ac te kek. Dal shakka mel. Kree no tel reenlokai. Mekta satak oz. Ya duru arik kek onac. Shel kek nem ron.”
 
Pain exploded in her mind, racing rapid though her body. Keiko barely contained the scream as what felt like all of her nerves were set on fire. Tomoyo wasn't so lucky, the scream sounding raw and tortured. Keiko's knees buckled and she fell, her arms wrapping around her middle. She felt her hair grow longer and eyes burned. She bit her tongue till blood poured into her mouth. Slowly, oh so slowly, the power died away and she was able to open her eyes. The flower was wilted and the candles had melted. The water had evaporated and the air had rushed out of the balloon. Slowly she placed her hands on the ground and pushed herself. She tilted her head to see Kagome, having to stare past the red strands of hair. She blinked and brought a hand up, pulling a piece of the copper strands in front of her. Sighing she turned towards Kagome and wasn't surprised to see blue eyes instead of brown. “My eyes are black aren't they?” she asked, her tone dry.
 
Kagome nodded and turned toward the other two. Hotaru was kneeling next to Tomoyo, one hand on the girls shoulder. Hotaru looked up at them, her eyes a rich violet. Her hair tumbled over her shoulders and was darker than night, having lost the purple sheen. Tomoyo was sitting with her back towards them, long, straight hair falling around her shoulders. Hotaru shook her head. “I don't think she's used to that much power so suddenly.”
 
Keiko nodded and moved to sit in front of her. Tomoyo merely bowed her head more so that her hair hid her face. Keiko reached out and pushed back a few strands. “Tomoyo, look at me.” She whispered. The girl took a deep breath but didn't look up. Keiko blinked when her aura spiked and weaved around her. Slowly the girl lifted her head and stared at her. She watched as her hair shortened to touch her back and her eyes, once a soft lavender faded to a delicate amethyst. Keiko blinked and smiled, ruffling the girl's hair. “That's better.” She whispered.
 
Smiling, Tomoyo pushed herself to her feet. She turned towards Kagome, “Did it work? Do we have our powers back?” Kagome shrugged, “Try something.” Tomoyo bit her lip and looked around. “Okay…” she trailed off and closed her eyes. Slowly the candle wax on the ground and the furniture lifted up from the ground. Tomoyo opened her eyes and made a small motion with her hand and the furniture settled down again, the wax flying into the garbage. Kagome nodded. “Okay majors work. What about the minors?” Keiko held out her hand and three ice crystals formed in her hand. “Check.” She whispered and curled her hand into a fist, the ice disappearing. “Cool.” Hotaru breathed and they turned towards her. “I haven't been able to do that in forever.” She swung the glaive around in her hands, a smile decorating her face. “It's odd.” She continued. “I've gotten used to not being able to use my senshi powers in this form so it's going to take some getting used to.”
 
Keiko grinned, “Put that thing away before you hurt somebody.” Hotaru giggled and obeyed, spinning the staff and pulling it back into subspace. Keiko turned to Kagome, a smile decorating her face. “Much better.” She whispered. Kagome nodded and breathed out, reeling in her powers till they were back to normal levels. When she opened her eyes they were brown once again. Keiko nodded and sighed, shaking her head. As she did the red strands darkened and turned brown. When she opened her eyes they were a dark chocolate. Her hair still pooled over her shoulders and she didn't look like she had before but the look suited her much better. “Lets get the room back in order.” Keiko whispered, “Then we'll finish things.”
 
After some creative use of Tomoyo's and Kagome's powers they settled down. Tomoyo was lying on her back on the table, the items that normally decorated it floating in the air above her. Keiko sat on the armrest of the couch, shaking her head lightly. Kagome sat on the couch next to her, talking quietly with Hotaru who sat across from her. Sighing Keiko looked over at the girl on the table. “Tomoyo.” The girl looked over at her and sat up. “Huh? Oh, right.” Tomoyo took a deep breath and lowered the things to the ground. “I'm ready.” The two straightened. “You sure?” Kagome asked. Tomoyo nodded, “Now a day we can't say things as freely as we once did and we live so far apart. I think recreating the telepathic link would be best.” Kagome nodded.
 
Tomoyo took a deep breath and focused, closing her eyes. Slowly she whispered the spell under her breath, making sure it was at such levels that no one could hear her. “ç§ã¯ãƒ–ルã& #402;¼ãƒ ãƒ¼ãƒ³ã 7;ã‚る。 ç§ã¯æ±ã®çŽ‹ä&# 189;ã¸ç›¸ç¶šäºº 7;§ã‚る。 ç§ã®åŠ›ã«ã‚ˆ& #227;£ã¦ç§ã¯å°‹ã 73;る。 ã“ã®3人ã«ç§ã& #174;心をã¤ãªã&# 8222;ã§ä¸‹ã•ã„〠‚ ” Slowly her body started to glow a dark lavender, spreading out and mixing with the auras around it. Slowly the power died away and Tomoyo smiled lightly. `Can you hear me now?' Keiko's call echoed though her mind, a teasing tone in it. Tomoyo laughed and nodded. `Good.'
Tomoyo turned her head toward Hotaru. “Your turn.” She whispered. Hotaru nodded and stood. The glaive appeared in her hand and she brought it in front of her, spinning it in a circle. As the blade cut though the air a soft humming filled the room and the symbol of Saturn appeared in front of her. “My guardian deity is the planet of silence, the soldier of death and rebirth. By these powers I bind our souls together. When we are reborn our souls will seek each other out. We will remain together even if we no longer know who we are.” The humming grew louder as the symbol hovering in the air appeared on the four's foreheads. Hotaru stopped spinning the glaive suddenly and the humming, along with the symbols disappeared. The glaive in her hand vanished as Hotaru sank down to the ground. “Okay, I'm done.” She whispered. Keiko laughed and helped the girl to her feet. “I don't think any of us are used to channeling that much energy anymore.” She stated as she pushed the girl onto the couch.
 
“I think we need some practice.” Kagome said shaking her head. Tomoyo perked up. “Oh, can I make the outfits?” Keiko nodded slowly. “Sure.” She whispered. Kagome laughed lightly. “Tomorrow, here. Come when ever you want.” Keiko smiled lightly. “Much, much better.” She whispered.
