3. Fire and Ice
"What?" Both Kagome and Korui looked at Keade.
"Are you sure Keade-baba?" Kagome asked looking at her sister. She had only seen the statue of the priestess and that was when fake shikon jewels started to apear. Now that Keade has mentioned it, She does see some resemblance between the two.
"Who is this Midoriku person." Korui asked.
Keade took a deep breath."It starts back when the shikon no tama was made. It goes back hundreds of years ago. There was this 18yr old priestess named Midoriku,who was said to have the power to purify the soul of any youkai and had never been defeated. A group of demons decided to form together and attack her. The battle went on for 7 days and 7 nights. Finally a demon tried to absorb her soul. She combined her soul with all of theirs and trapped them inside of herself. With the last bit of energy she had she forced out the jewel of the Four Souls: the soul of family/friends, love, courage, and wisdom; before they all turned to stone. It is said that the battle between her and the demons still goes on inside the very jewel. The jewel gives an emense amount of power to whoever holds it. It can be used for good or evil, though it's been used for more evil than good. The shards of the jewel are even more powerful than the whole jewel was when it was whole."
Korui just gaped at the old priestess. She had no idea what she was talking about. 'I knew I should have stayed awake in history.'
"So..."
"Can you since the jewel shards?" Kagome asked.
"Can I what?"Korui looked both confused and lost.
"Can you sense the jewel shards like me?"
"I don't know." Korui looked at Kagome. A glimmer of pinkish purple light caught her eye. It was coming from Kagome, from under her uniform shirt.
"Kagome what is that light?"
Kagome looked at her confused. "What light?"
Korui pointed at Kagomes chest. "That light that is coming from under your shirt."
Kagome looked down to see the shards glowing. She gasped " You can sense them." She took the little bottle from under her shirt. In side it was slivers of the jewel. Korui took them from her and looked at them.
"I saw the same light just before I fell into the well." She said holding the bottle to the sky.
"You did?"
Korui nodded. "Yeah I was looking for you and I looked into the well . Just as I was about to leave when a light caught my eye and I leaned too far over the edge and fell in. I then found myself here."
Keade nodded. "The time has come." She said. Both Kagome and Kouri looked at the old priestess.
"What do you mean?"
"When the Jewel falls into the hands of evil and the world is tainted with it's evil ways, Midoriku will come back and save us once again. I belive that Korui has come just in time to help us get the jewel shards and defeat Naraku. Korui, you must travel to the Shrine of priestess Midoriku."
"Why do I have to?" Korui asked. 'What now?'
"Because we need your help to save this time from the evil ways of Naraku." Keade said seriously.
"Ok so where is this shrine?"
"At the base of Mt. Hakurei."
