QUOVADIS 04 :: Old friends and new

[guren_no_honoo]

Ah, I haven't written much again. I guess I'm just kinda forgetful about writing even if I'm reading it all the time. Lots of things happened though!

The holidays were really great because my Papa came to visit! (^___________^)♥ And even though Yuui couldn't come, we got to talk to him on the phone and wish him a happy new year and all that. I even said a prayer for him at the shrine when we went. Fay-nii-chan was really excited to be able to go to a shrine for the new year too. It was a lot of fun.

I also got to hang out with Yamamoto, which was really really fun! We played videogames. I'm kind of sad I can't talk about what I learned and played with Yoshimori though. I kind of wish I had gotten his home address before he had to leave so I could have written him...

Um, I'll ask again, but does anyone want to have their fortune told? I still need to find Chii and do it for her, but if anyone else wants to, I'd love to do that! I promise I'll do my best! dfsdl;;;;;;;;;;;sssss

(>.>) Maybe the library would be better then. I eat even more when I've been upset or stressed out, eheh. But thank you for the offer. It doesn't need to be in exchange for anything though, I really want to do it!

When would you like to? I have the day off from class and then it's the weekend, so it's up to you~

[nami-ga-ii.livejournal.com]

I'm free.. so if you're up to it, we can do it now since you're off.

[guren-no-honoo.livejournal.com]

Ah, great! I was going to go stir-crazy if I sat in this room any longer and Fay-nii-chan is teaching all day. I'll be right there after I grab my stuff!

*And Ashura is dashing out the door only a few minutes later, eager to go do anything, but especially happy to do a reading for someone! He arrived at the library puffing and panting, but smiling as well and looked around - did he even know what Hibari looked like he wondered with a start... Oh maaaaaaaan--*

Anouuuu~ Hibari? *Tries calling out tentatively*

[nami-ga-ii.livejournal.com]

*He wasn't too far, a few yards at most. He saw the kid run up and look around.. that was probably--ah, calling for him. Yes, that was him.

So he wandered over!*

Right here. You're Ashura?

[guren-no-honoo.livejournal.com]

*Whirls around to face the taller dark-haired man and nods* Mm, I'm Ashura. I-It's nice to meet you, Hibari. *He bows politely. He was little less exuberant than would be normal, but Hibari wouldn't know that anyway*

You weren't waiting long right?

[nami-ga-ii.livejournal.com]

Not long at all.

So.. what do I need to do for you to read me? *Geez, this kid was small and.. cute... Gokudera was bullying him? That really pissed him off.*

[guren-no-honoo.livejournal.com]

Well, it depends on what type of fortune you want told, but I usually use tarot cards. Sometimes I write up star charts though too.

Can we go inside and sit? It's still a little cold out here...

[nami-ga-ii.livejournal.com]

Tarot is good.

*Motioned for Ashura to follow along as he went over to the doors and opened them up, letting him go in first.*

[guren-no-honoo.livejournal.com]

*The boy steps in with a soft thank you and then looks around a bit, seeking out a good place for them to sit that they can still talk quietly* Have you ever had a tarot reading before, Hibari?

[nami-ga-ii.livejournal.com]

I have not. Is there anything specific I have to do? *Sat at the table, hands folded on his lap.*

[guren-no-honoo.livejournal.com]

Mm, not really. This can be as relaxed as you want. I just do this as a hobby anyhow. *Ashura pulls out a detailed and embroidered bag in bright reds and gold lotus designs* But is there anything you want to know or ask about in particular?

[nami-ga-ii.livejournal.com]

Can you do a.. more romantic reading? Love life..

[guren-no-honoo.livejournal.com]

Eh? Mm, yeah, I can do that I think! *He then pulls out a deck of tarot cards from the pouch and dusts off the table a little as he begins to shuffle them with practiced ease in his small fingers*

[nami-ga-ii.livejournal.com]

*He watched, a little apprehensive.* ..how long have you been doing this?

[guren-no-honoo.livejournal.com]

How long? *He considers, tilting his head* Mm, since I was about nine or 10, I guess. So five or six years?

*Offers him a smile as he continues to shuffle* Was there something in particular in that vein you wanted to know? The more specific the question, the more specific the answer will be generally. It's okay to just do a general love reading though.

*Ashura was blushing ever so slightly - he didn't get requests for that kind of reading very often at all, but he really didn't want to get rusty!*

[nami-ga-ii.livejournal.com]

I have someone I like.. so. Well they don't like me.

Should I keep pursuing the one I like or go after someone else? And if it's someone else, then who?

If you can get that specific, at least. That would be good.

[guren-no-honoo.livejournal.com]

*The boy nods slowly, mulling over the desired questions as he suddenly stopped shuffling. He then held out the deck to Hibari* Cut the deck if you like.

[nami-ga-ii.livejournal.com]

*He did so, cutting it a few times to get it good and mixed before handing it back to Ashura.*

Here.

[guren-no-honoo.livejournal.com]

*Ashura took the deck back and slowly dealt out the cards face down in the classic Celtic Cross formation since he was most versed with that and this wasn't a type of reading he did very often. He took a few long deep breaths, closed his eyes and flipped the bottom card in the center and then opened them, looking to it to find the Magician staring back at him*

Ah, so this card is meant to be you for this reading. The Magician (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/de/RWS_Tarot_01_Magician.jpg) means to create - you tend to do things yourself and make things happen.

*The boy paused and turned his wide gold gaze up to Hibari to see how he responded to that*

[nami-ga-ii.livejournal.com]

...that's very accurate. Go on.

*Okay, he wasn't one to believe much in fortune but that alone so far has caught his attention. He listened intently, waiting for Ashura to continue.*

[guren-no-honoo.livejournal.com]

*Ashura smile and then dropped his attention back to the table. He reached out and delicately flipped the next card that had been lying ever so slightly over the top of the Magician card to reveal the Three of Wands (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/f/ff/Wands03.jpg). He blinked a little bit before nodding.*

Mm, this makes sense given that you seem to have some friends here at school. This card is the Three of Wands and it means you are being supported and being offered help. Though sometimes help isn't always obvious, but it's there.

[nami-ga-ii.livejournal.com]

Oh. Okay. That works.

I guess that's accurate. Maybe.. *He sulked a little bit. Damn. Maybe he had been too mean to the others lately, then.*

[guren-no-honoo.livejournal.com]

*Ashura then dropped to the card at the very bottom of the cross shape and showed a card most mistook as ominous* Ah! You said you are unsure about where to go from here, right? This card is The Death (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/d7/RWS_Tarot_13_Death.jpg), which isn't as bad as it may sound, but it's reversed anyway too. This just means that you are hesitating. Your energy toward your love life isn't going anywhere.

*He then moved to the next card the one to the left of the center cards*

This position is meant to be a representation of past influences in your life in regards to what you are asking about. This one is the King of Cups (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/04/Cups14.jpg). So in terms of love - in the past maybe you didn't feel like you had any control at home or with your family? Also it could mean you had a hard time expressing your emotions and thus feel detached or did in the past. These past experiences are now shaping your present and future interests in love.

*Ashura looked up again to see if this was still making sense*

[nami-ga-ii.livejournal.com]

. . . . .

*Hibari just... stared. It'd be a minute before he snapped out of it and looked up at Ashura. The kid would probably be able to tell by his startled expression that he was pretty much dead on.*

I... see. I understand.

[guren-no-honoo.livejournal.com]

*Ashura was pleased to see that apparently so far, he'd been accurate in his reading and pressed on, facing the card at the top of the cross this time. His brow furrowed a little, considering the upside down Strength () card before speaking.*

This is the Strength card reversed and this place represents future influences. So, it means a loss of control. *He frowned and tried rephrasing it better* Or rather, you'll need to let go to move forward. Particularly of those past influences.

*His eyes darted up again as this seemed to directly relate to the young man's inquiry as to whether he should pursue the person he likes now or move on to a new path. He flipped the final card of the cross portion of the spread, the one to the right to reveal the reversed Nine of Wands (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4d/Tarot_Nine_of_Wands.jpg)* This also relates to a future influence. This is like a warning to stop fighting so hard. Or else you may have a hard time doing what you are good at - taking care of yourself and making things happen.

It's like saying you should to recollect yourself and calm down before you can move forward.

*The boy paused, hoping that wasn't offensive. Hibari didn't seem a particularly angry person right now, but he did seem to write about fights an awful lot...*
