Optimus and the Autobots were stationed around the Museum and inside as well. The building was huge. A large stair case lead up to a porch and pillars supporting the roof. The great wooden doors lead into a long hallway that opened into a ballroom like room. The dome ceiling had a skylight window of clear glass and golden frames. Optimus Prime and Shortstop walked around to look for anything suspicious not to mention they all were admiring the museum.A mural was painted on the dome ceiling around the skylight. It was an ancient Japanese battle scene of demons on one side of the mural and on the other was a lone human figure. She wore a Shinto priestess Kimono and she had jet-black hair pulled back with a white band. She stood facing the demon army approaching her and she had a bow and arrow drawn. Around her neck was a pink jewel. The Shikon No Tama glowed bright as the Priestess was about to release her mighty arrow.
"Impressive artwork I must say," Shortstop commented as he and Wheeljack admired the work on the ceiling.
"Indeed. It must have been difficult to paint that. Must have taken months." Wheeljack answered.
"Admiring the mural?" A human said as he walked up to the two Autobots. It was the Archeologist Hamasaki Satori, the man who discovered the Jewel shard.
The two Autobots faced the man.
"Yes. What exactly is it though? If I may ask." Wheeljack asked.
"It is a Mural of the Priestess, Kikyou, facing the Army of Demons who had come to kill her and take the Shikon No Tama." Satori stated. "She stands her ground and prepares to fire her sacred arrow. She wears the Shikon No Tama around her neck."
Wheeljack and Shortstop turned their heads up at the Mural.
"Mm."
"Do you know anything about this jewel, Shortstop?" Prime asked.
"I know some things about it. I have a friend who is very interested in Japanese culture and I somewhat picked up on it. I actually have heard about Inuyasha and what he did in the Feudal Era. Apparently he was only half demon and he had some companions. He and this gang would go around looking for jewel shards so that he could become a full demon. They often fought against another demon by the name of Naraku. He wasn't a full demon either. That is why he wants the Shikon stone. Apparently he has the heart of Onigumo within him. Onigumo was saved by Kikiyo. Onigumo had a twisted love for Kikiyo but she didn't love him. She was in love with Inuyasha. Onigumo later gave his soul to demons and they merged with him to give him great power. The result was that he came as Naraku. Naraku impersonates a young lord by the name of Kagewaki Hitomi. I don't know much about him. Kikiyo was the priestess who died at the hands of Inuyasha or so history says it was Inuyasha that killed her."
Optimus Prime was impressed at the history knowledge that Shortstop possessed.
