Prologue – History
It was somewhat peaceful in the village of the Taijiya, demon exterminators, and where the shikon no tama was created. Up in the mountains lived a family known as the Sengoku. There were just the three of them. The mother was Sanga, the father was Kahuko and the child was Poa. Poa was very talented. She was different from her parents. Sanga was a dragon and Kahuko was a demon. Kahuko though was the only demon accepted in their village.
On ground lived another family, a strong set of demon exterminators, Sango and her parents. Sango was just four years old and Poa too. They played together all the time.
Sanga and Kahuko loved their daughter very much, but they did not like the other family. Kahuko got very sick one day and died. A very strange type of disease had gotten him. Poa and Sanga were left. Still, Sanga hated Sango's mother. One night Sanga transformed into Poa and left the mountain, paid a visit to the sleeping mother of Sango and killed her. Sanga was the only dragon that can transform into anyone. Even if Sanga loved Poa, she always had the desire for the shikon no tama. That same night, Sanga tried to take the sacred jewel from Poa, but luckily she escaped by using her force-shield. Sanga had never seen Poa use her force-shield.
On ground, Poa ran into Sango. Poa was going to ask for help, but Sango punched her in her eye. Poa cried and ran away. Sango thought that Poa was an enemy who killed her mother.
In the forest, Poa met Toutousai who fed her and took care of her. When Poa was six years old, she went to Kikyo alone to give her the shikon no tama. Kikyo was the true protector of the sacred jewel and Poa was the owner. Kikyo sensed a powerful force in Poa but did not mention it or question her about it.
Poa had another jewel inside her heart that she did not know about. Nothing can control it or see it and Poa can, but she was too into her shikon no tama. The jewel inside her heart was called Mikon Honsai, the Forbidden Jewel.
