Shippo: Seven Jewels
Jewel II: Rebirth
I watch as she purifies the shard, turning it from its tainted garnet color to the soft pink of the purified jewel.For something so small, it has caused so many problems...
"Shippo, will you put these in my pack while I check over InuYasha?His wounds need checking over."
I nodd, ignoring InuYasha's reply of 'Bah, I'm fine' as I take the bottle from her.I stare at the powerful treasure in my hands.
These shards...part of that blasted jewel.Its the reason why Okaa-san died; she found them and was killed for them.Otou-san tried to gather them so we could have her back; he was killed, his pelt used as a trophy for a demon of thunder.This cursed jewel is responsable for so much pain...
"Shippo, while you're over there, can you bring me a roll of bandage?"
I look up in surprise, doing as she asks.She smiles at me, and I return to the bag, my now calm eyes falling on the clear bottle.
These shards of glass...though they are evil, they have brought good too.They bring things together; they unite our ragtag group.Otherwise, how would a hanyou, a miko, a monk, a taijiya and a kitsune even survive, let alone work together?
The Shikon shards gave Sango strength to find us.They led Miroku to find us.
But most of all, they led Kagome and InuYasha to me.
I smile and put the bottle into her bag.
