Chapter 4:
Sakura's Strange New Powers
We join Sakura and the others in the home of the priestess Kaede. Lady Kaede has recognized the jewel to be the Bakeru no Tama or Jewel of Change.
"So what do you make of it Lady Kaede?" asked Miroku.
"This jewel, has the power to hide the powers and appearance of a youkai or hanyou, and the powers
may be unleashed at will." replied Kaede.
"What about the intense light radiating from the necklace?" asked Shippo.
"The light was the jewel holding back its own immense power." replied Kaede.
"Sakura, have you ever taken off that necklace?" asked Kagome.
"No, I haven't…" I replied.
"So, you're a hanyou, just like me…" said Inuyasha rather sarcastically.
"Well, let's just see what kind of hanyou you are, take off that necklace."
"But, it was my grandmothers… She gave it to me before she-"I said with a sadness showing through.
Michiko told me never to take it off… I can't defy her like that but-
Kagome hurriedly, "its ok you don't have to-"
"Yes, she does!" demanded Inuyasha.
"Well, I don't have to keep it off… It's just for a few minutes right?" I said reluctantly.
"Yes, just a few minutes" said Kagome.
I reached back towards the clasp of the necklace, and unhooked it.
I handed it over to Kagome, and as soon as the necklace had entirely been separated from any part of
my body there was a flash of light and a swirling upward haze reverting me into the creature that I had
seen but once before.
"She has pointy ears like Kouga!" yelled Shippo.
Sakura: "And this means…?"
Kagome: "Kouga is a wolf demon… He…"
Shippo: "Just because she has ears like a wolf demon doesn't mean…"
"It does mean she is, she smells like wolf." Said Inuyasha cutting Shippo off.
"Is she related to Kouga?" asked Kagome
grrr, sniff sniff Inuyasha
"She smells like… no way!" screamed Inuyasha
"What?" I asked.
"She's from a tribe that should be dead!" screamed Inuyasha
"What do you mean Inuyasha?" asked Kagome
"They ruled the central lands and were allies of Sesshomaru; they fought battles in one of the last great
demon wars." Said Inuyasha
"I know this story, they fought so hard to protect their allies land, it very nearly drove them to extinction,
the survivors were discharged from the lords service to rebuild, they supposedly died out, however legend
has it that they left to another world" said Sango
"Well, I guess we now know were they went." Said Shippo
"They must have gone through the bone eater's well…" said Kagome obviously in deep thought.
"But why would they go through a well called a 'bone eater'?" I asked Kagome.
"Maybe they figured out the secret of the well…" said Kagome, still knee deep in her thoughts.
"But Still, how did they get through?" asked Shippo
"I don't know, how did Sakura get through?" said Kagome
"This is obviously a perplexing mystery, perhaps we should sit down together and discuss our theories." Said Miroku, absentmindedly flexing his hand.
Sango's eye began to twitch, she picked up Hiraikotsu and smashed it against the skull of that perverted monk, causing him to pass out.
"Well, it looks like Houshi-sama will be riding on Kirara today." Sighed Sango
"Yeah, and it also looks like he'll be eating his dinner through a straw…" Said Sakura holding back a laugh.
"Guys be serious!" yelled Kagome.
"You know guys after taking the necklace off, I felt funny… You know, not weird funny, but like a good kind of funny, like it was meant to be." Said Sakura.

Author's Note: Tune in next chapter for more, bye-bye kids!
Kagome: I still don't know how you could get through the well…
Sakura: Could it have something to do with my necklace?
Kagome: Could be…
Inuyasha: Something doesn't smell right here…
Sakura: Oh shut up… The only thing that doesn't smell right is your clothes, do you wash them?
Inuyasha::::GRRR:
Sakura: Kagome! He's growling at me again!
Kagome: Osuwari!
Inuyasha: AHHH!
