Hidden Man

Chapter 1: God Tree

~*~*~*~*~

Kagome yawned, rolling out of bed. Good thing she was a morning person, because little did she know this was going to be one strange morning.

"Kagome, time for breakfast!" Kagome's mother called up to her.

"Ok, I'm coming!" Kagome pulled her shirt on and ran down the stairs, sitting down at the table to a plate of pancakes. She began eating as her brother came down, her Grandfather entering through the front door.

"What's for breakfast, mom?" Souta asked, sitting down as his mother set a plate in front of him.

"Pancakes."

Souta and her Grandfather began shoving pancakes into their mouths when her Grandfather spoke through a mouth full of food.

"Did I even tell you about the legend of the God Tree?"

"Yes, Gramps, a thousand times!" Kagome said, annoyed.

"How about you, Souta?"

Well, since it was Souta's favorite legend, and because he liked bugging Kagome, he answered, "I don't quite remember it..."

"Well, back about 500 years ago there was a great battle that took place here. A demon tried to take the sacred Shikon Jewel, a Jewel that could give great strength to demons.

"He had gotten it in his grasp and was running away from it when the Priestess who protected the village stopped him with a single arrow. She shot him in the heart, piercing him to the very God Tree you see today. She had died, though, from her wounds. Her body was burned, along with the Shikon Jewel, and no one has ever found it.

"It is believed that she took the Jewel to the Other World with her own soul."

Kagome sighed, "Gramps, that's just a Legend. There's no proof behind it!"

"I'd like you to prove that!" Souta said, standing up, "Because I believe it!"

"Gladly! I'll peel all those vines off the tree and prove it!" Kagome stomped out of the house, steaming.

"Kagome! You didn't finish your breakfast!!!" Her mother called out of the door.
