The Shikon Temple part 1 of 3

By: Jacob Neighbors

While Inuyasha, Kagome, Sango, Shippo, Miroku, and Kirara were heading towards a town Myoga fell from the sky and landed upon Sangos' head. "Myoga what are you doing here?" asked Inuyasha. "Master I have to tell you. You are heading straight for the Shikon Temple." "The what?" asked Kagome. "The Shikon Temple. The temple of the Shikon Jewel. I believe there is a shard in the Temple." Said Myoga. "Well it makes sense doesn't it? When the Shikon Jewel was shattered a shard might have landed in the temple where it was originated." Said Miroku. "You're right Miroku. That makes sense." Said Inuyasha. "Well what are we waiting for? Let's go!" said Shippo. Then Kirara transformed in a wave of fire and Miroku, Sango, and Shippo jumped on her back and Myoga and Kagome were carried by Inuyasha.

"Myoga tell me about the Shikon Temple." Well from what I remember, the Shikon Jewel was made by a jewel maker by the name Hinotsa. He had built the Temple before he made the Jewel. Hinotsa had some help from your father when he built the Temple. But a very evil demon saw the Jewel, he heard your father and Hinotsa talking, and the demon fought your father. When your father used the Backlash Wave the demon had been disintegrated. Oh, yes, I just remembered! Hinotsa also created the Black Jewel, that is now a permanent part of your eye, that transported you, Kagome, and Seshomaru to your fathers' grave," said Myoga. "Well, that would explain a lot. Does he make a lot of jewels?" asked Kagome.

Myoga didn't answer. They saw what quieted him almost immediately. Seshomaru was in front them. His sword drawn.

"Give me the Tetsaiga half-breed." He said. "No way! Our old man chose to give the Tetsaiga to me! Why can't you accept that?!" "Because I know the fullest extent of its power." Seshomaru said calmly. "BACKLASH WAVE!" roared Inuyasha as he brought down the Tetsaiga. Seshomaru dodged it and attacked. "DRAGON ATTACK!" "Inuyasha move!" said a voice. Kikyo appeared and shot a sacred arrow at the Dragon Attack. It disintegrated. And as quickly as she had come she'd left.

"KIKYO!!" shouted Inuyasha and everyone woke up. Apparently they had stopped to rest for the night and Inuyasha was dreaming. "What happened? Where's Kikyo?" "Kikyo?" said a confused Kagome. "Inuyasha you were asleep. You were dreaming." "But what about Seshomaru and the way he dodged the Backlash Wave?" "That never happened Inuyasha. You were just having a nightmare." said Sango. "AND WHY WERE YOU DREAMING ABOUT KIKYO ANY WAY, HUH? I THOUGHT YOU WERE MY BOYFRIND! SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT, SIT!!" said Kagome "I-am! But-I-dreamed-I-was-fight-ing-Sesh-o-ma-ru,-he-used-the-Drag-on Att-ack,-I-could-n't-move,-Kik-yo-shot-an-arrow-at- it,-and-it-van-ished." said Inuyasha in between the explosions. "Well that's strange," said Miroku. "Why would Inuyasha have a dream that Seshomaru beat the Backlash Wave and that Kikyo saved him? Could you explain all this Myoga?" "To tell you the truth I don't know any more than you do." Said Myoga. "What if the Tetsaiga is giving Inuyasha the power to see the future when he is asleep?" said Shippo. "Well, it may be possible. Even I don't know everything about the Tetsaiga." Said Myoga. "Let's forget about this. We'll need our energy to get to the Temple tomorrow." Said Sango. "She has a point. Let's just try to get some sleep." Said Kagome, while shooting suspicious looks at Inuyasha.

The next day they all set forth to get to the Shikon Temple. "Master Inuyasha why go to the Temple? You must know it was destroyed many, many years ago," said Myoga. "WHAT!?" yelled everyone. "Why didn't you tell this to us in the first place!?" said Shippo. "You mean you didn't know?" asked Myoga, "Well I might as well tell you. A few years after the Temple was created, Sango's ancestor, Fujiwara Nosai, was traveling to his home and he accidentally overheard Naraku planning to destroy the Temple and get the Shikon Jewel. So Sai looked for Inuyashas' father and told him what he heard. So Hinotsa, Inuyashas' father, and Sai headed towards the Temple. When they arrived they saw Naraku and two very powerful demons trying to break the barrier and get the Jewel. Hinotsa used Death Jewels, Sai used his demon slaying weapons, and Inuyashas' father used the Wind Scar and the Backlash Wave; although he knew he couldn't use the Red Tetsaiga which, as you know, destroys barriers. He didn't want to use it in case it hit the Temples barrier. Then Naraku put up a barrier around himself, leaving the demons no protection. Then Inuyashas father had no choice. He used the Red Tetsaiga and Naraku dropped the barrier and pushed the blast towards the Temple. When the barrier went down Inuyashas' father used his demon speed to get inside and get the Shikon Jewel. When he came out he transformed into his full demon form and killed the two demons and then he went after Naraku. But he had fled once Inuyashas' father accidentally destroyed the Temple when he transformed.
