Chapter 5: A Jewel's Legend
-----
After paying for the things at Absolute Anime, Kagome was packed with a DVD and 3 manga. Sango walked away with 2 custom-made necklaces that said Kirara on one and Hiraikotsu on the other. Sango said that the one that said Hiraikotsu would give her luck when demon exterminating. They were once again sitting at the tables in Tapioca Paradise.
"So, what's with the legend and the Shikon no Tama?" wondered Kagome.
"Well," replied Sango, putting away her things, "It started exactly 75 years ago. There was a truly pure miko named Midoriko. She was also an expert demon exterminator. She destroyed many, many demons; much more than me. She was very graceful when being a miko and very brave when exterminating. Everything was well, then one day, she prayed to the gods to have 2 children while still being a virgin. Little did she know that the demons that were out there were planning to kill Midoriko."
"A couple days later, Midoriko gave birth to a baby girl. Her name was Kikyou. Midoriko was thankful and she went to thank the gods to have a daughter. The gods told her that in 15 years, she would have another daughter. The 15 years went by quickly, but Midoriko was still strong and gave birth to another baby girl. Her name was Kaede. She smiled at both of her daughters. Then she went off to the temple and she asked the gods to protect her during demon exterminating, which she did everyday before she goes out to do so. When she searched for demons around there, there weren't any."
"Did this really happen?" asked Kagome, curiously.
"If it isn't, than how do I know it so well? Anyways, suddenly, out of nowhere, hundreds of demons came out. She managed to destroy many of them, but was over-powered by them. Some threw their fangs into her, some inserting poison into her blood. Kikyou and some of the village people came to see what was the fuss. Kikyou gasped at the fact that her mother was dying. With her skills of archery and miko powers, she shot an arrow at the youkai and it burned to death. A few minutes before Midoriko died, she grabbed her heart out and the Shikon no Tama was in it. She told Kikyou, 'Keep this jewel safe, Kikyou dear. I will be watching you from the heavens above...' Those were the last words of Midoriko. And that's how the jewel was made."
"Wow... "
"But the story is over yet... Afterwards, Kikyou had the Shikon no Tama preserved in the sealed temple. From that time on, Kikyou was the main miko in the village. Though she didn't know how exterminate demons, she knew how to use the bow and arrow. With her miko powers, she can shoot an arrow at a demon and let it burn to death. Within that year Kikyou was going through, she did not know that 2 youkai were planning something simply gruesome and horrifying. The two youkai were known as Kouga and Naraku. Naraku came up to Kikyou one day and introduced himself. For 6 years, they started to know each other better and both fell in love. Kikyou's pure soul was leaking slowly, for very pure mikos were not allowed to fall deeply in love or lose their virginity... Then complete betrayal. Naraku met up with Kikyou one day and injured her badly. She managed to shoot an arrow at him and he burned out. Kouga went off to steal the Shikon no Tama with his agility, but Kikyou came back, limped and used up all her strength to shoot an arrow at him He burned wickedly and she took the jewel. She gave the jewel to 7 year old Kaede and Kikyou died. And this year is the 50th anniversary of Kikyou's death."
"And that's the end...?"
Sango nodded, "Very adventurous and amazing isn't it?"
"Yes, very... Hey... We still have time, don't we? Wanna go back to the temple and ask some questions?"
"Sure! We need information about this!"

windy x curse : Oh gods.. Boredom is killing me!
tetsusaiga 4 life : Well, ain't that nice. Keep it up, sweet boredom! Kill him!
windy x curse : Stupid... I want Pyro to go on!
tetsusaiga 4 life : I know! Where is Nyo?
windy x curse : Speaking of the girls... -smirk- How's it going with Nyo, eh? Anything going on between you two?
tetsusaiga 4 life : WHAT THE FUCK? What made you think that! (A/N: In real life, Inuyasha's blushing. How cute!)
windy x curse : Ah, so you DO have something for her!
tetsusaiga 4 life : TT I have nothing for her! She's a decent girl that I can be myself to! Nothing goin' on, nadda. I'm sure you're into Pyro.
windy x curse : Sure, you don't... Hell yeah. After all, she did threatened to kill me two times. I love women who are like that.
tetsusaiga 4 life : Right... It's either that or you're into every pretty women out there.
windy x curse : It's grand, isn't it?

Sango and Kagome walked out from the mall and to Miya-san's temple.
"Kagome, did Miya-san mention her grandmother's name?" asked Sango.
"Uhh... Nope, I don't think so. Why'd you ask?"
"Just wondering..."
They finally reached the temple. They saw no one around. Kagome searched the rooms while Sango searched the training area.
"Any sign of her?" Kagome exclaimed, panting.
"None... Wanna go search in the garden?"
Kagome nodded and went to the garden with Sango. They came to the garden and there she was.
Miya-san with Leiko-san.
Arguing.
Sango and Kagome hid in the bushes nearby.
"Why did you give her the Shikon no Tama without telling me?" explained Leiko-san, trying to hold back her anger.
"She seemed to be the chosen one. Kagome is a skilled archer and miko, big sister," replied Miya-san, calmly.
"But we had to agree on it..."
Right then, Sango and Kagome came out of the bushes to reveal themselves to the two siblings.
"Miya-san and Leiko-san? Ano... Can we ask you a few questions?" said Kagome.
"Yeah... About the Shikon no Tama?" added Sango.
Short silence.
"Let's go inside and have ourselves some tea and I'll answer the questions," replied Miya-san.

The boys were still bored, waiting for the girls to go on...
tetsusaiga 4 life : Damn, there's nothin' to talk about!
windy x curse : Bleh, I know. And school's tomorrow.
tetsusaiga 4 life : Ugh, screw that shit. All you do is sit in the desk and listen to the teacher talk! All I hear is "Blah, blah, blah..."
windy x curse : School happens to be amusing! You learn a lot of things!
tetsusaiga 4 life : Is that so? Then SCREW YOU, TOO!
windy x curse : Well, at least Nyo likes school!
tetsusaiga 4 life : What? She does! You've chatted with her! Why the hell?
windy x curse : Haha... Just a random guess. What? You care about her or something?
tetsusaiga 4 life : Uhhh... Shut up, Monk! That's none of your freakin' business!
windy x curse : -sigh- Whatever you say..
tetsusaiga 4 life : Screw that. Anyways, what's up?
windy x curse : Just feeding my fox kitsune, Shippo.
tetsusaiga 4 life : Gods, I hate that thing! It's fuckin' annoying!
windy x curse : What? You calling my Shippo annoying! How dare you..
tetsusaiga 4 life : Yeah I'm callin' that damn thing annoying! It's hella tiny, too!
windy x curse : Argh! OK! I'm not going any farther with this argument! New subject! Uhh...
tetsusaiga 4 life : Fine... Jackass... Wanna pull another prank on Kagome and Sango?
windy x curse : Eh, I don't feel like pulling any pranks this week. I'm admitting it, I'm a lazy ass.
tetsusaiga 4 life : Aw, c'mon!
windy x curse : Don't c'mon me. I don't want to and that's that, ok?
tetsusaiga 4 life : Just one? PLEASE! (A/N: Alert! Alert! This is one of Inuyasha's rare words! PLEASE!)
windy x curse : Shit, you used the used the PLEASE word on me... ARGH, fine. But ONLY one!

Kagome, Sango, Miya-san and Leiko-san sat at the table while drinking some tea.
The room was dead silent until Miya-san spoke up.
"So Kagome, what did you want to ask me?"
"Well, it's about the Shikon no Tama. I've heard the legend today from Sango and I'm really into it. Sango, how about you ask the first question?" replied Kagome.
"Ok... Ano... Miya-san, was your grandmother's name, Kaede?"
Leiko-san looked at Miya-san, who was in deep though.
"...Yes. My grandmother name was Kaede. I think you know the rest, right?"
"Yup! That's incredible!" exclaimed Kagome, with a cheery look on her face.
"Now the legend is complete for the both of us!" Sango added.
"But Miya-san, I overheard you talking to Leiko-san before. And I apologize for that, but what do mean by 'the chosen one'?
"Let me explain that, Kagome," replied Leiko-san, "Miya-san says that you're the chosen one because she thinks that you are the reincarnation of Kikyou."
"M-Me?" stuttered Kagome, with a shocked expression on her face.
Miya-san spoke up, "Well, you are a miko like her and look like her. You also know archery and using the special arrows to burn demons! Though, you have a slight different personality than hers. You have a cheerier mood!"
"Wow... So you say I'm the reincarnation of Kikyou... How cool!" replied Kagome, with sheer amusement.
"And Sango? She is the now one of the best demon exterminators in Tokyo!" spoke Leiko-san.
"What? I'm one of the best demon exterminators in Tokyo? Oh my gosh! I'm so happy!"
"Ah congratulations, Sango!" yelled Kagome, hugging her best friend.
"You too!" replied Sango. She looked at her watch.
'4:00 already? The day is going by fast!'
Kagome and Sango left the temple with Leiko-san and Miya-san waving at them. Another day of practice and training as gone by. They went off to the arcade to pick up their little brothers. Minutes later, they reached the arcade and saw the two boys playing DDR.
"Ok boys, time to go home," stated Sango.
The game was done and Kohaku replied, "But we don't want to! One more game? Please?"
"Hey instead of us playing the last game, how about you two?" questioned Souta, begging.
"Oh please, we suck at it!" replied Kagome, but Sango contradicted, "C'mon Kagome, it'll be fun!"
"Eh.. Fine, let's go!" They stepped onto the stage. Ready? Go!
Up – left – up – down – left – right – left – up – down...
Everyone was cheering the two girls on. Even the two little boys! Kagome was even amazed by how good she was at it. After a few ups and downs and lefts and rights, the game was over.
A!
"Whoo! That was fun!"
They all laughed their way home.. It was nearly 5 and they reached the street where they had to separate and so they did. They came home and lounged around to wait for dinner. Sango and Kagome, however, managed to get some time to go online..

tetsusaiga 4 life : Ok... I was thinkin' like you staying in the bush again. There's a bucket of red paint on the branch of the cherry blossom tree and the handle of the branch has a string tied to it. You hold up other end of the string. The girls, I know it, will be sitting under the tree. I'll approach them and talk to them a bit about Bloody Mary and try to get them interested.. Once they yell out Bloody Mary three times, you pull the string and the girls will be all covered in "blood"! Waddyah think? I got it from my bro.
windy x curse: WHOOO! Looks good to me:D Speaking of your bro, Sesshoumaru, where is he?
Then Nyo and Pyro signed on.
tetsusaiga 4 life : Swt! Nyo's on! And my bro's in the Kyoto University right now.
windy x curse: So is Pyro! Ey, wanna tell them about the prank?
tetsusaiga 4 life : Lol yeah! We can get their opinion on it! And gotta ask them if they have any connection with each other!
---
nyo nyo xD : Fang! What's up? Btw, I can only go on for a bit.
tetsusaiga 4 life : So glad you're on... Even a little bit. I'm doin' nothing much really. Can I ask you a question?
nyo nyo xD : You just did. :P Lol, sure go ahead.
tetsusaiga 4 life : Haha... Do you have any connection with Pyro?
nyo nyo xD : Yup! She and I are both best friends.
tetsusaiga 4 life : Really? Awesome! Vortex and me are best friends, too! Oh and before you go, I need your opinion on something..
nyo nyo xD : Spill it.
tetsusaiga 4 life : Ok you know I'm a prankster, right?
'Nani? A prankster? That reminds me of Inuyasha.. Eh, there's tons of pranksters out there.' Thought Kagome, contently.
nyo nyo xD : Hehe, now I do.
tetsusaiga 4 life : Ok, I'm planning to pull a prank on someone and here's the plan.. Vortex will be in some bushes nearby with one end of a long string. A bucket of red paint will placed on a tree branch with the other end of the string tied to the handle of it. There's usually a small group of people under the tree so I'll approach them telling them a legend about Bloody Mary. I'll persuade them to say Bloody Mary 2 times and Vortex in the bushes will pull the string so the people under the tree wil be covered in "blood"!
nyo nyo xD : LOL, I think it's great! And I'm not even a fan of pranks! Love it, Fang! Hey, I g2g! So happy to go online and chat with you! ;D Bye!
nyo nyo xD signed off at 7:40:32 PM.

windy x curse : Pyro! How ya doin'?
pyro kittie x : I can only go on for about 5 minutes or so but I'm doing fine! And you?
windy x curse : Good as always. Hey, do you know Nyo?
pyro kittie x : Yes, I do! She's my best friend since I was little!
windy x curse : Cool! Fang and I are best friends, too! Btw, did you cook dinner yet?
pyro kittie x : Don't start. TT
windy x curse : EEP... uhh.. Can I get your opinion on something, too?
pyro kittie x : Sure! Tell me before I kill you. :D
windy x curse : GAH.. I'm planning to pull a prank someone later this week..
'Wah? A prank? This sounds like Miroku or Inuyasha! ...Neh, that's impossible. They don't even have AIM! Freakos.'
pyro kittie x : Yeah? Go on...
windy x curse : And here's the master plan... Ok, I'm gonna be in some bushes nearby holding one end of a string, right? A red bucket is in a tree with the other end of the string attached to the handle. Fang will go up to this small group of people and tell them a legend of Bloody Mary. He's going to tell them to say Bloody Mary 3 times and I pull the string! The people will be covered in "blood"!
pyro kittie x : Haha! Very evil if you ask me. X I g2g now! Hope it works, Vortex!
pyro kittie x signed off at 7:42:52 PM.
After the girls signed off, Inuyasha and Miroku both had the same thing on their mind.
'This is going to work PERFECTLY!'

So? What do you think?
I'm evil, aren't I:D I had to write the prank 3 times! XD Sorry if I annoyed you by writing it so many times... GOMEN!
The legend was good, wasn't?
