Previously on - Shikon No Tama of Four Worlds:
Back in Modern day Japan, Kagome runs into InuYasha who is waiting for her by the well. He tells her that Shippo is sick and asking for her, but she reveals that some old friends from different parts of the world are coming to visit her. She brings InuYasha inside of her home, and shows him pictures of the three girls. After showing him, Kagome gets a phone call stating that one of her friends have arrived early and headed on her way to Kagome's house, and InuYasha leaves to go back to Feudal Japan.
Now…the continuation of: Shikon No Tama of Four Worlds
(Feudal Japan – Morning – Friday)
InuYasha exited the well with a lot of unanswered questions. 'She still didn't tell me why she would keep something that important from me.' He thought to himself. Walking back to Kaede's village, he wondered if Shippo was alright. "Damn it all, Shippo...making me worry like this!" He growled to himself. He was half-way there when he felt a strong wind pass him by. He noticed that it was headed toward the well, but he wasn't too worried knowing that demons, besides himself, could enter into Kagome's time.
Flashback
After the group "defeated" Naraku, Kagome took back possession of the Sacred Jewel that was now whole. It was one major difference, however. The Jewel looked paler for some strange reason, and Kagome said that it didn't feel as powerful as it once was. Miroku's wind tunnel had disappeared; Sango's brother came back to her; and finally, InuYasha could wish to be full-demon if he wanted! While Kagome was ready to accept the decision that InuYasha was about to make, she gave him the jewel so that he could make his wish.
"I wish to be a full-demon at last!" InuYasha burst out loud. The ground rumbled around him, but the jewel didn't turn him into a full-demon. Instead, the jewel summoned someone, who happened to be his father, InuTaisho. He told InuYasha and the others that Naraku was far from dead, but his power is very limited now that he doesn't have the Sacred Jewel. He told Sango that it would be best to end her brother's life now, because Naraku was never going to truly release him. He also told Miroku that his wind tunnel will re-occur faster and stronger than ever before.
But the most mystifying thing that he said was that the jewel has been separated from the other three main traits and that it was the reason why InuYasha's wish did not come true, and it summoned him instead. The rest of the conversation was revealed only to Kagome and not the others, but he told her something that she will have to take into consideration from that point on. The last thing InuTaisho said was to his son. He told him to protect Kagome, no matter what, because, what lies ahead of them is ten times worse than what they have been going through.
End Flashback
'I will remember…father.' He thought to himself. He finally reached the village, and entered into Kaede's home to check up on Shippo. He was lying down on the futon with a wet towel on top of his head. From the look of the scene, InuYasha would have to say that he was running a fever. "Shh…do not wake him, InuYasha. He has finally gone to sleep. Is Kagome with ye as well?" Kaede asked. InuYasha turned to face Kikyo's little sister and told her, "No, she had a previous engagement and she wasn't able to get away from it, but she did send me back with this." He handed Kaede the medicine that Kagome gave him.
"Well…if "ye" need me, ill be somewhere close where "ye" can find me…ok old woman?" Kaede nodded her answer, and InuYasha left and went to his forest to lie up in a tree close to the well.
(Modern Era – Evening – Friday)
Kagome hurried to get the guest rooms ready for her friends that would arrive any minute now! Her mom and Souta even decided to help her with the beds and preparing to food. Grandpa was, of course, running around the house making sure that all evil spirits were gone before Kagome's guest arrived. As soon as Kagome was about to pick up the dirt from off of the floor, they heard a soft knock at their front door. Souta said that he would take care of the floor while she went to go answer the door. "Well, well, well…KAGOME! You have certainly grown taller!" Kagome gave the stranger an "I don't know you" look, until the young girl said, "Don't tell me that you don't recognize this smile!" Kagome felt like hitting herself! 'How could I not have know?' she screamed inside her head. "Kida…KIDA! It's really you! You look so different…my goodness…what are they feeding you in Brazil? Growth hormones?"
Kida gave her a friendly push, and they hugged each other for what seemed like an eternity. They entered into the house, and Kagome's mom was just placing the food on the table. Kida ran up to her, and gave her a very tight hug. "It's so nice to see you again, Ms. Higurashi!" Kagome's mom was not expecting this, but she happily responded to the hug Kida gave her. "It's a pleasure to see you again as well, Kida…I hope that your family is alright?" Kida smiled at her, "Oh yes! Everyone is fine, and they send their love." Kagome was about to show Kida her room for the week, when they heard another knock at the door.
Kagome and Kida both ran to the front door as if they were still little kids. Kagome opened the door, and it was none other than Natasha. They stared at each other for a moment, and then, all of a sudden, they all… "SCREAMED!" Natasha looked even more different than Kida did. Natasha was the oldest out of all four of them, but she looked as if she was in her early twenties. "Sven Hein…Hitler!" Kida burst out. Natasha gave her a look of death if she ever repeated those words to her again. "I'm only joking Natasha…don't have a cow!" They heard footsteps approach them and then they heard someone say, "So…are you guys gonna scrap, or give a hug?"
They turned around and saw Tanis walk up to them. All three girls started to run toward her, and Tanis knew what was about to happen, '(Sigh)…well…here comes the infamous group "squash"' and prepared herself for the impact. They all literally jumped on her, in the tightest, squeeze hug imaginable! When they finally let go, Kagome, Kida and Natasha gave her a look of bewilderment. "What's up, you guys? What are you staring at?" Tanis said out of curiosity. Kagome was the first to answer, "Where in the world were you able to get your breast to be that big and not hang low to the ground? I guess what they say about America must be true then…everything there comes in large quantities!" The other girls laughed, and so did Tanis. They were expecting her to get really upset, but were happy that she realized that she was just joking around.
As they all walked back inside of Kagome's house, she showed them all to their guest rooms, and then they all went to the dining room to eat all the wonderful food that Kagome and her mom made for them. Souta sat down next to Natasha, and he seemed to be kind of quiet, and Kagome knew that that wasn't him at all! Kagome went down the line of friends to introduce them to Souta. "Souta…this is Kida. She is from Brazil, and this is Tanis…from America, and finally, this is Natasha who is from Germany." He said quite hesitantly back, "N..nn…ice to me..eet you all…I'm Souta." Souta felt his face flush when he looked at Natasha. 'She's so pretty' he thought. Natasha knew that Souta might have a "crush" on her, so she reached over, and grabbed his hand. "It's very nice to meet you Souta…maybe you can show me around sometime during the week…would that be ok?" She said nicely. "SURE! (clears throat)…sure, that would be fine." He answered back.
After they were finished eating, they all got together in Kagome's room to catch up on things. They talked about what they have been through since they last saw each other, and the boyfriends that they used to have. Kagome looked at he friends who looked so much more mature than she was. Yes, she was the youngest out of them all, but Tanis was the second youngest, and she was built like she was a grown woman. She felt like she was behind them all. Natasha had beautiful pale, white skin with fiery, medium length, red hair. She is about 5'6 and she dresses like she is some sort of supermodel. Kida has much more of a red tint to her skin because she is mixed with Caucasian, Indian and African. She is about 5'8 and has short, blonde hair that makes her absolutely stunning. Her dress is more on the casual side, but maybe a little too revealing.
Tanis was in a class of her own. She had flawless honey-brown skin, with a beautiful head full of thick, straight, long, black hair with honey-brown highlights. She is about 5'10, (if not taller!), and her style is sexy and but not TOO revealing. It seemed to Kagome that all of them could wear anything they wanted to wear and would make it look good.
In the middle of their conversation, Kagome was going to ask them if they ever had sex before, and if they did, how did they know that it was the right time, when she felt something strange located at the Bone Eater's Well. "Umm…would you excuse me for just a minute…ill be right back." She hurriedly said. "I hope that everything is ok…did you guys feel that just now?" asked Tanis. "Yeah …I did feel something, but I thought that it was just my imagination going haywire again." Natasha responded. "What do you mean "again" Natasha…are you telling us that you have had this feeling before?" Kida asked out of wonder. "Well…yeah…all the time. I felt as if something or someone was drawing me back to Japan. All kinds of obstacles were preventing me from coming, but something always worked out the right way. Do you guys find that strange?" Natasha commented. "No…not at the least. I have had the same feeling, and everything seemed to work out for me to come back." Tanis answered back. "You guys…I think we should go check on Kagome…I have a very bad feeling!" said Kida.
In the well shrine, Kagome found out what it was, all right! She didn't think that it could be done, but a demon, Kagura no less, actually came half-way through the well! As soon as Kagome was about to turn around to warn her family and friends, Kagura grabbed Kagome by the arm, and pulled her down into the well with her. "So this is your secret…this is why we couldn't find you, and now…ill be taking that jewel back if you don't mind!" Kagura yelled in victory." Keep your hands off of me!" Kagome screamed. "Sorry…I can't do that! Naraku wants to see you, alive, and well…it's really none of my business what else he would want from you. But who am I to question him?" Kagura said smugly.
Kagome and Kagura went through the time laps, and ended back up in Feudal Japan. Kagura flew out of the well with Kagome in her arms but was interrupted when she heard the famous words, "WIND SCAR!" InuYasha saw the whole thing from the tree he was lounging in, and came to Kagome's rescue once again. Kagura, having gotten what she really wanted, dropped Kagome, and ran away. InuYasha ran, and grabbed Kagome before she could hit the ground. Kagome felt her eyes fail her, and she passed out by the well.
When the girls finally reached the well, they had no idea of what could have moved everything around like a tornado hit it! Kida noticed blood next to the well and informed the others. "Look you guys…fresh blood, and I think its Kagome's!" Natasha felt her heart drop in her chest. 'Please God…let her be alright.' She thought. Natasha looked inside of the well, and wondered if Kagome had just fallen inside of it. "Hey, you guys! Let's go and take a look inside of the well." Natasha commented. "Are you crazy! We might hurt ourselves if we just "jump" in! What a dumb suggestion!" Kida yelled back. "Look…whether you want to or not…HEY! Look over there!" Natasha said as she pointed outside. Tanis and Kida looked back, but it was all a trick! Natasha grabbed them by their arms, and fell backwards into the well, taking both of them with her. Tanis and Kida screamed, "NOOO!" all the way down.
