Chapter 2

The next morning JoAnna awoke and remembering what Sesshomaru told her she smiled. "Orat least I think it was me."

After lunch she headed over to the Higurashi Shine to see if Sesshomaru would be there. As she walked up the steps she contemplated on what to say to him and what he would look like. Demon or human.

When she reached the top she was greeted by a monk who greeted her with a smiled. JoAnna smiled back, "Hello. Where is the Tree of Ages?"

The monk turned and pointed to the oldest and tallest tree on the temple grounds. JoAnna nodded her thanks and made her way over to the tree. As she approached the tree she reminded herself that there was no way Sesshomaru could be there. He was just a character in a TV series.

JoAnna sat down by the tree and leaned against it.

Suddenly she heard Sesshomaru's voice, "Hello JoAnna."

JoAnna gasped and looked around but she couldn't see him. She then remembered in an InuYasha movie Kagome could speak to InuYasha through the tree. "Maybe Sesshomaru is doing the same thing."

Sesshomaru spoke again, "I am real and am living in Feudal Japan."

"How is that possible?" JoAnna asked.

Sesshomaru quickly responded, "We have met before in your dreams. You wished to meet me and want to be able to visit me."

JoAnna then recalled her dream and she wished it could come true.

Sesshomaru seemed to read her thoughts, "It is possible, but in order for me to come I have to get the Shikon Jewel. Once I am there you have to promise me that you will come back with me for a while."

Sesshomaru knew she had two personalities and if you could get both of them together in the same era, they would merge. If JoAnna went to Feudal Japan she would become Kira, and vise versa. Only with the Shikon Jewel could she change back.

Unfortunately Sesshomaru knew this and JoAnna did not.

JoAnna thought for a moment, "I'll decide when you get here for real."

They said their good-byes and Sesshomaru tells her he will see her when he has the Shikon Jewel.

Before JoAnna left, Sesshomaru told her, "Come back here in eleven days and meet me by the Tree of Ages."

JoAnna nods and smiles, "I'll be here."

Sesshomaru planned to seek out the Shikon Jewel by himself and leave Jaken behind. Sensing the jewel he headed north searching every village. Finally he found it in an old temple in a small village. Villagers stood guard in front of the temple doors, trembling as the demon approached. Sesshomaru looked at them coolly. "You're in my way."

The guards hesitated only a split second before they ran at him and shouted, "He is here to steal the Jewel of Four Souls. KILL HIM!"

Sesshomaru stood calmly and put his left and only arm up across his chest, two fingers in a "V", and slashed the guards with one swipe of his Energy Whip. In an instant they were all dead.

Sesshomaru walked into the temple and grabbed the Shikon Jewel.

Three weeks past in Feudal Japan time, but in the Modern time it had only been ten and a half days.

Sesshomaru headed back to his castle and told Jaken he never found the Shikon Jewel; though he held it in his hand.

The next day JoAnna went to the Higurashi shrine after school to ask the monk some questions.

She arrived at the Higurashi shrine and went to find the monk.

The monk turned, "Hello, can I help you?"

"What can you tell me about the Shikon Jewel and the old Bone-Eaters Well?" JoAnna said pointing to the tree.

The monk nodded, "Of course. Join me for a cup of tea and I'll tell you everything you want to know."

JoAnna smiled, "Thanks you."

They went into a hut; sat down on traditional Japanese mats and the monk served them green tea.

JoAnna sat still and listened to the monk while sipping her tea.

The monk started with the Shikon Jewel, "The Shikon Jewel is known as the Jewel of Four Souls. It is a very powerful jewel. When evil has it in their possession the evil energy inside a person will increase a thousand times stronger; corrupting the jewel and turning it evil."

He sipped some tea and then continued, "The Shikon Jewel is both good and evil. Once the jewel has been corrupted it takes a priestess to purify it."

He took another drink.

"Now, the old Bone-Eaters Well was used in the Feudal time to cast you enemies remains in there; mostly demons that were slain so they could not regenerate. Some say it is just an old well, but others say it holds some sort of power to it, to travel through time back to the old days."

He sat his cup down and smiled, "I hope I was some what of help to you, young lady." "Oh yes you have been" JoAnna said enthusiastically, "And thank you for the tea, too" she added.

They stood, bowed to each other and say their good-byes. Taking one last look at the tree JoAnna sighed deeply and headed home.

The next day while JoAnna was eating her lunch at school she heard a familiar voice, it was Sesshomaru. "I have found the Shikon Jewel."

JoAnna was surprised at first, but pleased to find she could talk to him using her mind. "Meet me at the Higurashi shrine by the Tree of Ages" she answered. "I will be wearing a blue Japanese kimono with black dragons."

Sesshomaru agreed, "I'll see you there tomorrow."

As soon as school ended JoAnna headed home and went upstairs to start on her homework. Soon she was called for dinner. Afterwards she went straight to bed.

Back at Sesshomaru's castle the powerful demon approached his servant, "I will be gone for one week searching for Naraku in the northeast corner of the lands. I want you to stay here Jaken. If InuYasha and his friends come by tell them Naraku is the southeast. And Jaken, I'll kill you if you inform InuYasha where I have gone."

Jaken trembled as he replied, "Oh yes M'Lord!"

During breakfast JoAnna told Kohashi and her parents she would be visiting the Higurashi Shine again after school.

Meanwhile in the Feudal Era Sesshomaru headed towards the old Bone-Eaters Well.

In order for someone to pass from Feudal Japan to the present time they need the Shikon Jewel or a shard from it. Holding the Jewel tightly in his hand Sesshomaru made sure no one was around before he jumped down the well.
