Journey of the soul

Chapter 2: Jason and the Jewel

"Izayoi, would you like to go to the park today?" Kagome asked the young girl at the kitchen table.

The white-haired and blue-eyed girl looked at her mother and gave her a smile.

"Otay mama." The girl said and went back to her lunch.

Kagome gave the girl a smile as her younger brother entered the kitchen. He walked over to Izayoi and messed her hair.

"Hey shorty." He said to her.

Izayoi stood up on her chair. Still falling a few feet short, she bent her neck backwards to look her uncle in the eyes.

"I AM NOT SHORT!" she screamed at him.

Souta laughed at her and smiled.

"Okay you're not short." He agreed.

Izayoi smiled and took a seat again. "Mama is taking me to the park today, I get to climb trees and go on the jungle gym and stuff." She replied with food in her mouth.

"Iza don't talk with food in your mouth baby." Kagome said as she finished the last of the dishes.

"Sorry Mama." Izayoi said and finished her food bringing the plate to the sink. "Can we go to the park now?" She asked and gave her mom the innocent smile.

"Of course but first I want you to was you're face, you have food all over it." Kagome said and watched her daughter walk up the stairs to the bathroom.

"She's just like him." She said to Souta who was making a sandwich.

"I can see that." He replied to her. "Are you still having the dreams?" He asked.

Kagome simply nodded. Lately she had been having dreams of Inuyasha. It was strange because every single time she couldn't hear anything he was saying. It was if he was trying to reach her, but the distance was too far for even a soul to travel.

"Still the same thing?"

"Yes, I still can't hear a word."

"And have you tried the well?"

"No, I'm not sure I want to."

"Kagome, what if he needs you for something, what if something has happened? Don't you want to try and help?"

Kagome looked to her younger brother. He was so mature now it was scary. He was also a lot like their father in looks and personality.

"I do, but I don't want to be tangled up in something again. I love him, yes, but I have a life now. I have a beautiful daughter, a nice job, I'm busy with school and I could never explain that to Jason." Kagome said.

"If Jason is really your best friend like he says he is he would understand."

"But Iza." Kagome started.

"She has the right to know her biological father Kagome, It's not like Inuyasha just up and ran out on you like many other fathers have done. He just had no way to get to you. And now there just may be a chance that you can see him again and you're just letting it go."

Kagome turned to him and now had tears in her eyes. She didn't know what to do. She loved him, wanted nothing more to see him again, however, she didn't want to intrude on Izayoi's life as it was. Bringing Inuyasha into it may turn the poor girls life upside down and she did not know if it was the best thing to do. However, Souta made a point in her having the right to know her father, and since she was only four (almost five) she may not even care. She may accept him now, rather then a few years from now. But that left one thing was she ready to go back? And what if the well wouldn't work? It would break her heart all over again.

"Kay Mama I'm ready!" Izayoi said grabbing for her red cover-up.

"Honey, would you mind if Uncle brought you instead, Mama's not feeling to good." Kagome said.

Izayoi looked at her mom and nodded. "Otay, but Mama will take me tomorrow?" She asked trying to compromise.

Kagome smiled and nodded, and then walking over to the young girl, she helped her into her red cover-up.

"Okay sweetie." Kagome whispered in her ear.

Souta stood and walked over to Izayoi. She reached up her clawed hand for her uncles human one.

"Are you all ready?" He asked her.

"Iza ready." She replied and the two went off to the park.

Kagome looked at the well house. She held the jewel in her hand. Yes, she still held onto it after so many years. She was going to just leave it in the well, however her grandfather stopped her. He told her it could regain it's power at any moment and travel through time where a demon could once again get a hold of it and change the future as they knew it.

Who am I kidding? This isn't going to work…

Kagome stepped closer to the well house and to her surprise the jewel responded slightly.

Okay…maybe…

"Kagome!"

Kagome spun around to find Jason walking up the steps of the shrine. He was an American. He had come to Japan to study, and Kagome had met him in college. He was handsome she would never deny that. His green eyes were the same shade as an emerald and his brown hair was to his shoulders, today it was tied back into a ponytail. Since he was in fact American he was quite a bit taller then her.

"Jason." Kagome started with a smile.

Jason walked right up to her and lowered his head to kiss her on the cheek. Jason and her had been best friends for almost a year now. He was one of the nicest people she had ever met and he thought Iza was the sweetest little girl on the face of the planet.

"How are you?" He asked after pulling back from her.

Kagome smiled. "Fine, just feeling a little off is all."

Jason nodded as if her understood everything. That's what she liked about him, he never judged her for anything.

"Ahh well, I picked this up when I went back home to visit the folks. It's a present for Iza." Jason replied and handed Kagome a small white dog toy.

Looking at it made Kagome laugh. It was a fluffy white dog with golden eyes.

"Oh, she'll love it." Kagome said almost crying. "Dogs are her favorite animals."

"And this one I got for you." Jason smiled handing Kagome a small plushy cat.

Kagome smiled. "Thank you Jason, you're the best friend a girl could ask for."

He smiled and they walked to sit under the tree. "So did you tell you're parents?" Kagome asked.

"Tell them what?"

"Well that you're umm…"

"Gay?" He asked with a smile. "Yeah, my mom took it well but my father on the other hand…well he went ballistic. They were all what about that nice Asian girl Kagome? Weren't you dating her?"

Kagome giggled. The thought of her and Jason dating was something she found rather funny. If anyone had an eye, they could tell Jason was gay. He wore a rainbow shirt that said "I'm Gay, get over it" on it at least once a week.

"I'm sure Hero would not like that." Kagome said.

"No, I think if I told him I liked girls all the sudden he would freak out just a little bit."

Kagome was about to reply when she looked down to the jewel that was glowing very brightly in her hands.

"Whats that?" Jason asked her.

"A jewel from an old friend of mine." Kagome said in shock.

"Why is it glowing like that?" He asked her, and then remembered something from his history course in school. "That almost looks like the Shikon no Tama."

Kagome gasped at his comment. Jason was a history major, so it was to no surprise that he would know that, but even so, it was shocking to hear the name come out of his mouth. Kagome giggled and tried to pass it off.

"I don't think so…" She replied.

"Do you remember who gave it to you?" Jason asked reaching for the jewel.

"An old woman who was a friend of the family."

"Kagome, I think this may be the jewel. They did say they never found it after the warring era was over!" Jason shouted with excitement.

He handed the jewel back to her and Kagome knew he was really going to stick to the Shikon no tama story, and even if it was true, she felt like no one needed to know that.

"Do you know how much of an impact this discovery will make, and to think my best friend had the jewel all a long sitting in her little pink jewelry box."

Kagome stood up. He was getting so worked up over this.

"Kagome you must let me study it!"

"I don't think that's a good idea Jason, It's really important to me."

Jason ran over to her hand grasped her hands. "Kagome please give me the jewel!"

Kagome didn't even expect what came next to come next, but in one single second someone very familiar was standing between them, someone clad in all red with long white hair and puppy dog ears.

"I don't think so buddy, you ain't touching that jewel not after I went all over the place trying to get it back together again." He said in a voice that was all too familiar to her.

Kagome didn't even realize it when her vision went black and she fell to the ground with a thud. The last thing she heard before completely blacking out with the shrill scream of a little girl.

"MAMA!"
