Years ago a prince was imprisoned in an ancient temple by his evil twin brother, the five jewels which would set him free were scattered throughout Morden. The five jewels portrayed the five elements, water-sapphire, fire-ruby, earth-emerald, air-diamond, and spirit-amethyst. A prophesy had risen from the Oracle lady Kaede, years from now a young women warrior will be born; only her heart will be strong enough to set the young man free and help defeat his bitter half.
Now the real story begins . . . .
"Lady Kagome!"
A youthful maid hollered throughout the pasture, her eyes searching frantically for the young girl.
"Now where did that girl run off to?"
She huffed as she put her hands on her hips and walked back into the castle; a low giggling could be heard behind a bush closest to the castle entrance. A young woman with raven locks and chocolate brown eyes stood from her hiding place, before running off into the nearby forest.
"Shippo! Oh Shippo!"
She called to the green that surrounded her, her eyes scouting for her furry friend. Suddenly from out of nowhere a little ball of fluff popped out of the trees landing on the young girls head.
"Kagome!"
He quipped with excitement; his eyes glowing at the sight of her.
"God Shippo, don't scare me like that."
She said as she brought the young fox demon down off her shoulders.
"Guess what I heard today," she huffed silently before answering herself; "I'm engaged to that stubborn mule of a prince, Sesshomaru Takahshi. Boy does that man get on my nerves, all he ever thinks about is money and women; I can't believe he even chose me in the first place."
Shippo looked up at Kagome from his position in her arms, his tail flickering slightly at the prince's name.
"Kagome did you know there's a legend that says Sesshomaru once had a twin brother, they say he was imprisoned by Sesshomaru and sealed into the sacred temple in Morden mountains."
This bit of information spiked Kagome's interest; she set the young fox on the ground before joining him herself.
"Can you tell me more about this legend Shippo?"
Shippo looked up at her from his spot on the ground, he wasn't too sure if he should tell her the story or not. The legend was normally only passed down through the demon clan generations, not very many mortals even knew of the legends existence in the first place.
"Okay I'll tell you Kagome but only because I trust you," He looked away from her his green demon eyes giving off a light emerald glow. "Long before Sesshomaru took the throne he had an almost identical twin brother, the only difference was that one had pointed ears and the other had that of a dogs. His younger twin, Inuyasha, or so they say his name was; was said to be chosen as the next King of Morden even though Sesshomaru was eldest his heart was just too black for the people. So Sesshomaru took it in his own hands to find a way to get Inuyasha out of the way so that he could take over, he researched ways on how to seal and entrap his brother for as long as he wished. When he finally succeeded in sealing his brother away, there was only one problem. The jewels needed to keep him confined scattered after he placed the last one in its resting place, they say that the only jewel that remains in the temple is the ruby the stone of fire. There are still four other jewel that need to be found in order to free the prince, or so they say."
Kagome was so engrossed in the story she started to think about if she were the one that could free him then she wouldn't have to marry Sesshomaru, a sly smirk appeared on her face as she looked down at Shippo. She gently lifted him off the ground and placed him once again on her shoulder like he was before.
"Shippo you and I are going on a little journey, we're gong to find those jewels and free Inuyasha. That way I won't have to marry that arrogant fool Sesshomaru."
She muttered the last part to herself, her eyes giving off a happy glow to them.
Great, what did I do to the Princess, Shippo thought as he shook his head from side to side as she carried him off deeper into the forest.
