Her grandmother said nothing but with the sigh that she heard she knew more then anything that it would be best. "I will leave then bye." Crystal knew that she would never belong anywhere. The only place she knew to go was five hundred years in the past.
Just then she felt the box pulsating. Crystal lifted the lid of the box and saw the Shikon jewel shining brighter then it had shown before. What is going on here? She thought as she stared at the jewel. "My child," A voice said. The voice seems to be coming from the jewel it self. "Go to the well and jump down it just as your mother did so many years ago. A family is waiting for you there." Crystal lifted the jewel out of the box and placed the jewel around her neck.
"Who are you?" Crystal asked, "I am the spirit of the Shikon on Tama jewel. I guide the jewel to its rightful owner, to
the one that will protect the jewel with her life. It in turn will protect her. And I speak only to the one that carries the reincarnated soul of its creator."
"You mean Moridico." Crystal asked confused.
"Yes, Crystal, I am speaking of her." The voice jewel said. "When you get their head to the sword smith that created your father's sword. Have him make you a sword from the Shikon jewel. "The sword must be a binding sword to keep your demon blood in check."
Crystal grabbed her backpack and the box with the jewel. She then walked past her grandmother out of the room and downstairs. Then she went to the front door and headed toward the well house. Crystal's mother told her where it was located. She then went and opened the doors of the well house. Inside she saw steps leading down to the well. She ran down the steps as fast as she could to the well. When she reached the bottom of the stairs she jumped into the well.
Crystal was surprised to see her being swallowed up by a bright blue light. After a few minutes she found herself looking up at a bright blue sky and a built in ladder that lead to the edge of the well. I wonder who made the ladder. Crystal thought as she climbed the ladder and placed her hand on the wells edge.
As Crystal pulled herself out of the well she saw the sacred tree a few yards away. Bright green grass surrounded her; She looked past the tree and saw a path. "Follow the path" Shikon said to her as she took in the lush green scenery. Crystal walked down the path as she listened to the sound of birds chirping in the trees. That was the best sound she could ever hear with the sensitive ears of hers. Her nose told her that she was getting close to a village. Crystal could tell from the smell that they were all human but a few demons lived in the village.
Crystal noticed the huts were small and made of wood probably gathered from the forest. Each hut represented one family and many hopes for the future and long lives spent. Crystal wanted a hope for the future but for her there was none. A hope to passed down from one person to another. As soon as someone saw the people became frightened. "There's a strange demon in the village!" Someone yelled out. Another screamed, "Get out."
Before Crystal knew it she saw arrows pointed at her. Behind her she heard someone yell out "Fox fire!" as a blaze of blue flames came at her. Crystal dodged the attack with the speed and agility. Another attack ensued; she also dodged that one with ease. Soon a huge boomerang came bearing down at her. She made a graceful somersault and jumped right on to the boomerang. Then she jumped onto one of the huts grass roofs. Just then she saw a sacred arrow heading right toward her. Crystal made a flying leap into the air and dive onto the ground and landed on her feet.
"Please, I am not here to hurt any of you." Crystal said as she dodged yet another arrow and fox fire attack. "My name is Crystal, I am not here to hurt you. I was told to come here. Shikon, I can't hold them off much longer. What am I to do?"
"Let the attacks hit you." Shikon said softly. "Trust me they won't hurt you."
"You had better be right about this." Crystal said sitting crossed legged on the ground. She sat there and waited for the attack to come and it did. Crystal put up a miko barrier and deflected the attack. Everyone around her looked amazed as the attack withered away into nothing. Another, blue flame was thrown at her but again the attack died. "See" She said, "I mean you no harm." Finally the villagers ceased their attacks and let her be.
"Why is ye not afraid?" Asked an older woman. She looked to be in her sixties with her silver hair pulled back into a ponytail. She wore an eye patch over one eye and a miko's outfit. On her back she had hung a bow and arrows. As Crystal looked the woman over she saw gentleness and a great love coming from her uncovered eye. But she was she was wrong before with her own grandmother. "What is ye's name?" The old woman asked as she looked upon Crystal with keen interest.
"I already told you. My name is Crystal." Crystal answered now a bit annoyed. "I came here through the Bone Eaters Well."
"That can not be true. Only two people could go thru the well. A Miko named Kagome and her mate InuYasha. No one else could. Ye must be lying." The woman said.
"Lying, you think I am lying!" Crystal yelled at the top of her lungs. "Look Lady, I happen to be born of both times. Born both miko and hanyou, I was trained under one of the most powerful mikos that have ever lived." Crystal huffed, "You, know nothing of what I have been thru." Crystal's face was turning beat red from anger.
"Crystal, calm down. Your demon blood is about to take over." Shikon said from her neck. "You must calm down or you will loose your sanity."
"Their all the same." Crystal said sadly while turning around and starting to leave. "They don't know me. All they are doing is judging me by the way I look. I don't want to be here."
"This is where your family lays, Crystal. Do not forget I was here before I know." Shikon said gently calming Crystal down. "You must stay here."
Crystal took a deep breath before turning to the older woman, "I am sorry for yelling at you. I have just lost my mother three weeks ago."
Just then a young woman came walking into the village also dressed in a miko's outfit. This woman was younger and smelled of rotted flesh and burial herbs. Crystal knew exactly who she was. "Kikyo," she said under her breath.
"My reincarnate is dead. She died three weeks ago. I have my full soul back." Kikyo said with no emotion in her voice.
The old woman looked at the younger woman, "K-Kagome D-Dead" she stuttered with a great sadness. "I-I can't believe it"
Without a word Crystal ran out of the village and into the nearest tree she could find and jumped onto the highest branch she could see. She placed her backpack on her lap and then she took out the photo album and started to look thru it. There she cried and cried. She let the tears flow like a great mighty river. "Why did you have to leave me alone, Mom, why?" She cried out loud as she ran hand along the picture of her mother and friends. "I have no place here" Her world was turned upside down and she had nowhere to turn. She was alone in her sorrow. The tears fought to take control of her. "No, I have to be strong." She said to herself.
Just then she smelled the smell of rotted flesh and burial herbs. "You have the shikon jewel, do you not?" Kikyo asked as she looked up into the tree.
"So, what of it." Crystal answered knowing full well she could sense the Jewel.
"Hand it over and I will let you live." She said.
Crystal jumped from the tree, "Try taking it, I dare you." She challenged, "I am as powerful if not more powerful then you will ever be. The Jewel belongs to me and me only."
With that Kikyo pointed her arrow at her, and the Shikon jewel placed a barrier around Crystal. The arrow bounced off of her just like the demon attack before. Kikyo looked at her in surprise and then stopped and bowed to her. "You are truly the reincarnation of Moridico." Crystal was dumbfounded when she saw the change in her look. "Shikon jewel will only protect its creator."
