Crystal threw her hands in the air in surrender. "Alright then she is mine, but she must have a name. Now lets see." Gently grabbing the cat and looking at her she noticed that her crescent moon seemed to glow like moonlight. "I think I will name her Silver Moon. Silver for short." She held the cat close to her and asked her. "What do you think of the name Silver?" The cat gave a soft meow in response. "As for your comment Miruko I am both hanyou and a miko. My trainer said that when a high level hanyou and a powerful miko come together my kind of hanyou is the result."
"And who was your trainer?" Miruko asked
"Jane Layre, she is about 300 years old and one of the most powerful miko hanyou's alive. You do not go up against her. There are only a few miko hanyou's that ever lived." Crystal explained, "Her demon blood comes from north America. Her father was the coyote demon king of North America. Her mother was a Native American princess of North America." Crystal put her two-tailed cat down and she got up once again and started outside.
"Don't forget about me, Crystal." Shikon said to the amazement of the two new comers.
Crystal smiled at the two humans faces when they heard the jewel talk. "Yes, the shikon jewel talks. It kept silent because its creator commanded it to. It was able to speak because I came into ownership of the jewel after the death of my mother. It has been three weeks since she died. She died in an accident. Now I have family nor home." Crystal became silent thinking of the day of the accident;
She was sitting at home reading a book of Feudal Japan customs and legends, which was her favorite book subject. She was enjoying a section on the legend of InuYasha and his miko. Smiled to her because those were her parents. Although her mother gave her a first hand account of their adventures she still enjoyed reading about them. She was now reading the section of when her mother first met InuYasha. He was bound to a tree with an arrow piercing him through his heart keeping him sleeping for fifty years. Crystal's mother Kagome pulled the arrow out of the InuYasha's heart so that he could save her from being killed by the centipede demon (who pulled her down the well and into the feudal era.) InuYasha slay the demon and when after Kagome, because she had the Shikon Jewel.
Crystal would have gone on, but the doorbell rang and she had to go answer the door. She went to the door humming a song her mother taught her. She stopped humming when she opened the door to see two saddened police officers. "May I help you?" Crystal asked them as she stepped aside to let the officers in the spacious living room.
"I am Officer Kinceade and this is Officer Knight. We are from the Skylark Police Department. We are sorry to inform you that your mother has died in a car accident earlier this evening. She was hit headlong in the drivers side of the car door." The police officers said. They were standing In front of her heart broke sending stabs of pain all over her body. First her trainer turned up missing a few months before and the police came to the door and asked of ware bouts.
"It can't be true." Crystal said out of a fit of tears she wanted to hear that her mother did not suffer. "D-did she suffer?" That was all she could think of. Crystal hated to see her mother in so much pain. At night she would hear her mother cry herself to sleep.
"Is it not the duty of the trainer to take you in after Kagome's death?" Miruko asked thinking.
"No, in America I am still a child I had to go where my family was. So I was deported to Japan and forced to live with my mom's family. My mom came from a family of priest and it is a dishonor to them when my mom and InuYasha became mates. I by being born brought dishonor to the family." Crystal looked out the window and noticed the sun was about to go down. It was the first night of the crescent moon meaning she will turn into a human. Crystal didn't mind becoming human for one night because then she could go out and enjoy her home without a problem. "I will finish in the morning but I must go now." With that Crystal grabbed the jewel placed it around her neck and picked up her cat and went outside. She found the sacred tree nearby and jumped into the tree to wait out the night.
The next morningCrystal returned to the village. She returned, still a little weak from the transformation. "Crystal, don't you think you should let them know the time you turn human?" Shikon asked.
"No, my trainer always said not let anyone know when my human night was. That is the night many will come after me, in my weakened state. Although my weakened state is a powerful miko." Crystal let a smile creep over her face. "I wonder where my trainer disappeared to though."
"You will see her again." Shikon said.
"Hope so," Crystal said with worry. "It is like she just dropped off the face of the earth."
Crystal felt something very powerful coming towards the village, and it was coming fast. What is that? Crystal thought. The feeling neither evil nor good, it was just there. A shiver ran down her back as the feeling came closer. Just then Crystal turned to Sango followed by Shippo and Miruko coming up behind her. A white light flashed in front of them. As the light dissipated a man appeared before her, or what looked like a man anyway. The man had three purple strips on both his cheeks and also on various areas of the body. On his forehead he wore a crescent moon. Crystal's hand went up to her forehead where her crescent moon symbol appeared on her human night. He wore armor over his white kimono. Thrown over one of his shoulders was what liked his tail. He was definitely silver haired dog demon the look was there and very handsome at that.
"Who is he?" Crystal asked after taking him in.
"That, my dear Crystal, is InuYasha's older half bother Sessomoru." Miruko said in his priestly term.
"Sessomoru," Crystal said. "He is neither good nor evil."
"What do you mean?" Sango asked.
"He has very protective instincts like my father but chooses to ignore them." Crystal explained.
"I see," Miruko, said, "You have an interesting way of putting it."
"Now, if you are done," Sessomoru said in a bored tone.
"What do you want Sessomoru," Crystal asked.
"I came to see what the enormous amount of power was coming from." Sessomoru said. "Now I see where it was coming from. It is coming from you half breed."
"I am not a half breed, I am a miko hanyou," Crystal said defensively. "I am the daughter of InuYasha and Kagome, a high-powered hanyou and an extremely powerful miko. My name is Crystal Higurashi." Crystal's trainer had always told her to go right to the point when dealing with a demon lord. They hated it when you beat around the bush.
"Interesting," Sessomoru said raising one eyebrow. Just then Sessomoru took out his sword "Prepare, to meet your doom." He yelled while running right towards her with his sword.
Crystal easily dodged the attack and jumped a made her way into a high somersault. She landed in back of him, "I really don't want to fight you," She said as Sessomoru skidded to a stop and turned toward her. Crystal then raised her hands in the air and out of nowhere appeared a bow in her hand. "I must warn you have trained and battled demons since I was three. I am very skilled in what I do." She said as she readied her bow to shoot. She aimed for Sessomoru's cheek; all she wanted to graze his cheek and cause a little pain. Crystal then hit her target and let the bow disappear the way it had appeared.
"Um interesting," Sessomoru said while touching his cheek. "You are an excellent opponent but your morals get in the way." He placed his Tokijin back. The he turned around and walked away.
Crystal turned to her companions, "What was that about?" she asked them.
"I don't know," Shippo said.
"I wonder why," Was all Sango could say.
"It almost seems as though you have just gained his respect." Miruko said
With SessomoruSessomoru made his way open the side of a volcano where molten lava was everywhere. The place was dark and dreary only demons and hanyou's could pass through the land to get to the sword maker, Totosai's home. Totosai was known all over Japan for his swords. He was the one that InuYasha and Sessomoru's father had commissioned to make the two swords that the brothers held the Tessaiga and the Tensaiga. Both swords were made from fangs of their father.
"Totosai," Sessomoru called, "My father had entrusted you with the silver dog Crystal"
"Yes," Totosai said, "Why do you inquire about the Crystal?"
"InuYasha's unborn pup is alive and is here in this era."
"She is"
"She carries strong powers within her."
"But is she strong enough to bear the crystal?"
"Yes, and she possesses her mother pure miko powers. She will not fight unless provoked."
"The Shikon Jewel does it protect her?"
"No, it did not need to she did well on her own. She knew how to stop me from attacking her." Sessomoru said as he absentmindedly brought his hand to wound on his cheek. It has been two days since the battle with Crystal and the wound still hasn't healed.
"Did she place that wound on your face."
"She could have easily killed me with the arrow but only choose to hit my cheek. I know she is worthy of the Crystal."
"I must go to her then and give her the jewel. And take the Shikon Jewel to make the sword."
Sessomoru nodded then got up from where he was sitting and started to leave. But before he left he reached into kimono and took out a silk bag. "For the sword."
Back at Keade's VillageLater that night Crystal was sitting underneath the sacred tree looking up at the stars as they twinkle brightly over the green of the land. What could I have done to gain the respect of the Lord of the Western Lands? What went on that day? Crystal wondered. She thought back to the night she came against Sessomoru. He just came right at her without being provoked. His sword was drawn and ready for the attack. Miruko told that he doesn't fight unless angered of provoked and Crystal did none of that.
"Crystal," A voice said breaking into her thoughts. Turning she saw that it was Shippo as he came and sat down next to her. "Is anything the matter? Everyone is worried about you. You have been gone so long."
Crystal looked over at Shippo, "I am fine Shippo just thinking."
"About what happened with Sessomoru?" Shippo asked.
