The book Of Shikon
Kagome stood at the bottom of stone steps, The small paper in her hand waving with the cold wind that blew. She wore her uniform as normal, paired with a warm red scarf that was wrapped warmly around her neck. Kagome looked at the paper once more before tucking it within her hand. She made her way up the steps, the place looked like a old shrine more than it did a library.
At the top of the steps was a lone old small wood shrine looking house and a tree growing up from the stone that was laid all over the land. The chimes outside the house rang as the wind played with them. Kagome didn't think she was in the right place at all, but she went to the building, once she got to the door she noticed a wood plank that said 'open', so she opened the door and went inside, the chime on the door chimed as she walked in. It was instantly warm, very warm, Kagome unwrapped her scarf once. She looked around, it looked like a library, there were many shelf's filled with books "Hello?" She called out,
The only answer she got was a old cough, Kagome made her was to the frist isle it was kinda dark, only the windows gave light inside. Kagome looked down the isle, there placing a book on the shelf was a old man.
"Hello" She said again.
The old man looked at Kagome, and she could tell by the white film over his eyes, that he was blind.
"Oh, um, your sign said you were open"
The man looked at her still,
"I found your address, I'm looking for books, um, dated 500 years ago, or book about that time period, if you have any"
The man walked up to Kagome and looked at her, though she knew he could not see her,
"What would a young girl like you want with books like that" He asked,
"Uh, school" She laughed nervous, truth was things with Naraku were getting worst, and it dawned on her half way through getting her butt kicked, that she had one weapon he didn't, the future.
"Mmmhmm" He said, not buying her store one bit,
Kagome stood there "Maybe I should just look around" Kagome walked passed him,
"Your a miko"
Kagome stopped in her tracks and turned quickly, her eyes if he could see, showed her shock.
"How"-
He put his hand up "I am old, and may be blind young girl, but I am not stupid, I see things those with site can not see"
She was speechless, and her heart was racing. The old man walked passed her "Follow me" He told her as he did. Kagome said nothing and walke with him. They went to the back of the store to a old shelf that was covered in dust and webs. The shelf only held what looked like a old small treasure chest. The man walked up to it and blew the dust off, then wiped the dust from the lock, he then back up and pulled the necklace he wore from around neck off. Kagome watched his every move.
The man's necklace was a key. The man placed the key in the lock and unlocked the chest. He then pulled out a old book and closed the chest.
The book casing was made of wood, dark wood, she had never seen a book made like that before, she could tell it was very old, it held its own dust and looked banged up. The man held it out to her "Here, this is for you" He told her,
Kagome looked down at it before taking it. She felt odd holding it, yet she didn't know why. Kagome ran her hand over the book, removing some of the dust, yer she still could not make out the writing "I cant make out the title" She barley got it out of her mouth before he answered,
"It called The Book Of Shikon"
Again she was shocked and held the book close to her, who was this man, and how did he know to give her this book?
"Do, do I know you?"
"You did need a book from 500 hundred years ago correct?"
"Uh yeah, sorry"
"Take it, keep it as long as you like" The man the turned and wobbled away from her. Kagome looked down at the book once again,
"The Book Of Shikon" She whispered,
"Oh, hey, do you know who wrote this" She called out, but the man didn't answer, "Hello?" Again no answer. Kagome sighed and held the book close as she made her way back out to the cold, she would have to go 500 year to the past soon.
