On the way back to the village everyone tried their best to avoid the angry teenage girl for fear she might use her strange power on them. The walk was quiet but awkward due to the vibe Kagome was giving off. Even Neji was on the edge but he didn't really show it. Instead he fell behind the group and activated his byakugan.
He didn't see any chakra flowing throughout her. He deactivated it and shook his head. If she didn't have any chakra, where was all her power coming from?
Kagome glanced behind her to see the young boy looking rather confused. She fell in step with him
"Everything all right?" She asked. Though she was still angry she managed to control her anger. Miroku had told her to close her eyes and count to ten slowly.
Neji thought for a moment. Should he ask how she has all that power or leave it be.
"How is it that you have all this power yet you do not posses any chakra?" Neji asked glancing at the young girl next to him.
"Well I'm not sure what chakra is but as to why i have so much power is because i am a priestess. I don't know if they exist here but I'm sure if you look in a library or ancient scrolls then you will know more," Kagome explained with a smile.
"I see... What about that arrow or yours? Naruto had said you had called it a sacred arrow..." He questioned.
"It was a sacred arrow. It channels my miko energy and releases it as i shoot the arrow. It will destroy anything evil within its path," to say Neji was surprised would be an understatement. He was actually very shocked that a girl as small as Kagome could hold so much power.
"Interesting..." He muttered and the two fell in a comfortable silence until they reached the Gates. By that time Kagome had completely calmed down.
"I'll go and report to Lady Tsunade," Shikamaru said. Everyone gave a nod of approval and he disappeared in a cloud of smoke.
"I don't think i will ever get used to that," Kagome muttered, mostly to herself but the others heard.
"Hey Kagome, what do you say about getting some ramen for dinner?" Naruto suggested in his usually optimistic tone. She smiled.
"Sure. I was getting ready to suggest that as well. I don't really feel like cooking anyway," Naruto cheered and once more she found herself being dragged towards Ichirakus.
Shikamaru knocked on Tsunades door and heard a small 'come in.' He entered and closed the door behind him.
"Ah Shikamaru, how did the mission go?" She asked with a smile.
"Im not sure. It was Orochimaru, however he had heard of our new recruit and wanted to investigate. When we arrived he was standing on the bridge with Kabuto next to him. He eyed Kagome and assumed she was weak. Well, she didn't take it so well and used those arrows of hers and managed to scratch him. He then decided he wants her and her power," Shikamaru explained with a sigh. Tsunade narrowed her eyes and slammed her fist down on the table.
"DAMN IT! This is not good. Not only do we have to worry about the akatsuki coming after Naruto, but now Orochimaru is going after Kagome and her power," she growled. Shikamaru just stood there and rubbed the back of his head.
"Lady Tsuande do you happen to have any books or scrolls containing information about priestess?" Shikamaru wondered. Tsuande was to angry to answer so instead Shizune did.
"Um you can check on the shelf over there or you can go by Mr. Tanakas house and see if he has any. I know he collects things like scrolls of the past," Shizune smiled at the young boy as he nodded and searched the shelf. He pulled out one scroll and then left to go to Tanakas house.
It was getting late out by the time he left the hokages mansion. The sun was just not getting ready to set and the stars were starting to show. Before Shikamaru realized it, he was standing in front of the old mans home. He sighed once more and knocked a couple times and then waited. The door opened and there stood a man with huge eyes and a small pony tail he also was wearing a green looking kimono.
"Mr. Tanaka?" Shikamaru questioned.
"Yes thats me, what can I do for you?" He asked looking the boy up and down.
"I was told i could find scrolls and books of information containing information about priestess," he said in his normal lazy tone.
"Indeed you can! Come on in!" The old man steppes aside and left the boy in. Shikamaru stepped inside and Mr. Tanaka closed the door. The floor was littered with different types of books and scrolls the walls were covered with many weapons and more scrolls and some even had pictures.
"Sorry about the mess," Mr. Tanaka apologized.
"No problem," Shikamaru said stepped over a book.
"Have a seat over there and i will make you some tea and get the things you need," Tanaka led him to a table that was stacked with books. He paused for a moment before pushing everything to the floor.
"What a drag," Shikamaru thought to himself as he sat down and waited.
As he waited he watched the old guy run around the house picking different types of scrolls and books and set them next to him. When the tea was done he poured Shikamaru and himself a cup of tea and sat a crossed from the boy.
"So why are you interested in this subject?" Tanaka asked after a moment of silence.
Shikamaru shrugged, "Just curious i guess."
"Well let me tell you a story that none of those scrolls have. You ready?" Shikamaru nodded his head ready for the story that was about to be told.
"Once upon a time there lived a young priestess named Kikyo who guarded a powerful jewel called the Shikon No Tama. The jewel was said to have great power that could bring peace to the world or destruction. The jewel was also known as the jewel of four souls," Tanaka paused for a moment and seemed to space off a little. Shikamaru resisted the urge to roll his eyes.
"Why was it called the Jewel of four souls?" He asked. That snapped the old geezer back to reality.
"Oh right, it was called that because four souls had been trapped inside the jewel by a priestess warrior named Midoriko. Midoriko was a very powerful woman. She could destroy 10 demons in one swing with her powers. One day many demons went after her and they fought for seven days and seven nights when finally the young priestess was snatched into the jaws of a demon. She then forced her soul out of her body and trapped the souls of the demons inside the jewel were the battle still rages. Inside, the four souls were called, Aramitama, nigitama, sukitama and kushimatama. Before the jewel fell into the hands of the priestess Kikyo a village of demon exterminators protected it but they could not keep the jewel from becoming tainted by the evil. So they gave it to her, Kikyo, where she protected the jewel and destroyed all the demons that went after it," he stopped to take a drink of his tea and refill his cup with more. Shikamaru had actually found this story rather interesting and continued to intently listen.
"One day she met a half demon named Inuyasha,"
"Half demon?" Shikamaru question.
"Half human half demon," he explained. Shikamaru nodded and motioned for him to continue.
"Inuyasha tried to steal the jewel so he could become a full demon however he and Kikyo fell in love and she tried to convince him to use the jewel to become human. He eventually gave in. One day Kikyo found a bandit by the name of onigume. He had had been burnt badly and Kikyo attempted to heal him. Onigume soon fell in love with her as well. He heard of the half demon Inuyasha and how kikyo was in love with him and became jealous. One day Onigume was approached by many demons and told them to consume him thus creating a half demon named Naraku. Naraku then disguised himself as Inuyasha and attached Kikyo and did the same disguising himself as kikyo and attacked Inuyasha. Inuyasha then decided to break his promise and steal the jewel. Kikyo, using the last of her strength pinned Inuyasha to a tree for 50 years and Kikyo died with the jewel in her hands."
Shikamaru took all this information in as Mr. Tanaka continued.
"500 years in the future a young girl fell was dragged into the bone eaters well by a centipede demon and the well became a portal between her time and the feudal era. When she arrived she came across Inuyasha who was still pinned to the tree. She was then captured and taken as a hostage to the nearby village where she was announced Kikyos reincarnation. The centipede demon attacked the village that same night and the girl ran towards in boy pinned to the tree where he awoke. On the verge of death the Ka-i mean the girl released Inuyasha and he killed the demon after it tore open the girls side thus bringing the jewel back to the feudal era. Soon the girl and Inuyasha teamed up after she had accidentally shattered the jewel into many pieces which was spread all over the world. In their travels they met a fox named Shippo, a cursed Monk named Miroku and a demon exterminator named Sango. Later kikyo was revived and brought back into the world of the,living where she sought revenge towards Inuyasha but that soon turned to Naraku who was also collecting the Jewel shards,"
"That was an interesting story, but who was the girl? And how do you know all of this!" He asked after Mr. Tanaka finished his story.
"That, my boy is a secret," Tanaka said to him with a smile.
"Fine. I better go though. See ya," Shikamaru grabbed all the scrolls and books and headed out the door.
"It seems your adventure isn't over yet Kagome," he smiled and went to bed.
