"The Four Souls are Aramitama, Megimetama, Kushimetama, and Sakimetama. Aramitama is courage, Megimetama is friendship, Kushimetama is wisdom, and Sakimetama, love." Miroku explained.

Finishing his speech, Miroku looked around at his comrades expressions. His gaze fell on Inuyasha, in which Miroku began to smirk. Inuyasha was completely dumb-founded. He looked like a complete retard, trying to figure out and process the information given.

"Ugh, my head hurts!" Shippo now complained, banging his skull. "I'm sorry, am I going too far over your head with this deep stuff?" Miroku asked, still staring at Inuyasha.

"Look, I don't care what the stupid jewel's origins are, I just want the shikon jewel to become a full fledged demon, and that's all." Inuyasha snarled. With this, Inuyasha began to rise off the ground. He hovered in the air for a few seconds.

"What the f-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH" He echoed down the cave as he was whisked away and thrown out of the cave entrance. "It seems people who talk of selfish gain with the jewel are thrown out of the cave." Miroku chuckled. "That must be Midoriko's version of sit." Shippo giggled.

Kagome knew Inuyasha was going to be in a rotten modd after that. "We better get going..." she sighed and turned to leave. Miroku Shippo and Sango followed suit. Kilala, after one parting glance, followed behind them.

"After Priestess Midoriko and the Demon's souls where locked in the shikon no tama, no one could protect the powerful jewel from demons seeking that power. The Shikon Jewel went through the hands of many humans and demons. My grandfather slayed a demon who had the Jewel, but as a price, he and many, many others died. The Jewel was fouled with evil. It was when they gave it into the keepings of a young priestess with extraordinary powers, Kikyo, and the jewel was magically purified." Sango explained inside the hut.

"What an amazing ability, Priestess Midoriko could actually hoist the evil power in demons and convert it into light, leaving them helpless!" Kagome thought. ((can you tell she wasn't listening?))

Kagome stared at the sleeping shippo in her hands, combing his puff-ball tail through her fingers. "Seven days and seven nights she fought the demon. She must be the strongest priestess who ever lived..."

((AUTHOR'S NOTE: YAY! Two chapters in one day! LOVE ME! :3 Anyway, gawd did that Shikon Jewel information take me long to find. I'll only continue to research on one condition. You review. You review like you've never reviewed before. REVIEW! I think Kagome has ADD. Oh, and Inuyasha is on the roof of the hut. He got pissed after Midoriko threw him out of the cave like a rag doll. Teehee!))
