==========================================

Midoriko was a powerful Miko who could purify any evil that was in a 5 yard range. Her pure aura itself could purify anything in its way. She was a Miko who had powers beyond anyone's imagination. However, being a Miko was not all fun and games. It was a huge responsibility, one that tends to wear people down. Strong Mikos had the power to see into the future, or at least a small amount of it.

Midoriko knew about her coming death and had planned to crystallize her soul in order to protect herself and keep the power to fall into the wrong hands. Being a Miko, it was ironic that she had a youkai lover. The man that had been possessed by lesser youkais had been her downfall, but her lover had been her temporary guardian.

He was a powerful TaiYoukai who was the Lord of the North-Western lands. He did not care much for it and only returned to train his son to rule the lands after him. Midoriko had informed her lover of her upcoming death, he did not wish it to happen, but he knew it was inevitable. Therefore, after Midoriko had shot her soul along with the hanyou's soul into the Shikkon, he took it to safety.

Midoriko, in her last breath had prayed that the Shikkon be placed under the care of someone who had been stronger than she had. She prayed for it to be protected for all eternity, to keep the balance of good and evil.

Her youkai lover had a pure heart and a pure soul, which he had given to Midoriko willingly. He loved her with everything he had. Thus, after the Shikkon disappeared, signalling the destined guardian's birth, he called upon his loyal servant. After giving him instructions to take the 'Shikkon' to the nearby exterminator village.

The same way Midoriko created the real Shikkon, he made the false one with his own soul. It works the same way the shikkon does, only to a certain extent. As HIS last prayer, he wished that his soul would make its way to Midoriko's. Once the job was done, his servant came inside the room to find his master's body and the false Shikkon on the floor.

Being loyal to his master, he dropped off the second Shikkon at the nearest village, only to end up being slaughtered by the villagers themselves. After finding the false jewel, they gave it to a Miko in InuYasha's forest.
