7. The Shikon Queen

Chapter Seven: The Shikon Queen

"Who is the Shikon Queen and what is this pendant he requests?" he asked as he watched her pace back and forth.

"The pendant is the artifact of the legendary Queen of the North, Midoriko, and she was known for her kindness and bravery. She saved the Kingdom with a selfless act and left behind the Shikon pendant that grants the wishes of the holder." Her eyes flashed with worry as she looked up at him.

"Where is the pendant now?" he asked. He knew he couldn't get too involved because of their statures. Unless it directly involved the West, which it would if not stopped, he was not to intervene. The people of the West believed themselves better than the people of the North. The people of the West were pure bred dog demons and the North were humans, therefore lower.

"The pendant was passed down to my father," she replied. "It's hidden."

"I do not believe I can help you, Princess," he spoke honestly.

"Please, Prince Sesshomaru! Please help me!" she said frantically, on the edge of hysteria.

He grabbed her wrist and pulled her close to clam her. "I cannot promise you anything, but I will try."
