Kagome smiled at all of them "The story of the jewel is that of a complicated tale of a battle for good and evil. Though no one really know what the jewel looked like-" Here Kagome smiled "The most common remake is this –" She touched her necklace drawing their attention to the jewel. It was inactive, so even Kyoya had no idea it was real. There was no way to tell without the power throbbing through it. "As the story goes a great priestess Midoriko ended up creating the jewel forged from her own soul and that of a fierce dragon she was battling. It was believed that her soul and the dragon's soul still battled inside the jewel fighting for dominance. Only a priestess with a pure soul could handle the jewel… Otherwise it became tainted and increased a demon's power. This of course caused many wars, as demons, as well as half demons, hungered for the jewel. The jewel was created in cave where a small slayers town had been established" Kagome added. "Finally the jewel came back to slayer's village by chance. Realizing what the jewel was after they had freed it from a demons body they headed toward a town that they heard had a powerful enough priestess to purify the jewel. Her name was Kikyo" Kagome added smiling at Inuyasha nodding for him to take over.
Inuyasha opened his mouth to take over the story, but Honey spoke up. "Whoa! How do you know so much 'Gome-chan?" Honey asked.
"The story has been passed down in my family for years. I was actually named for another priestess who protected the jewel" Kagome explained, thinking on the spot. After all that would take care of using her name for the other miko in the story.
"Really? But why does your family know so much then?" Honey asked again.
"I'll explain that a little later in the story," She assured him before Inuyasha continued.
"Kikyo was beautiful, or so everyone said. Her beauty was also her downfall. Many men and demons a like lusted after her. But she cared little about anything other than her duties, and her younger sister Kaede. However, a half-demon caught her eye one day. It was said she threatened him, telling him to stay away from the jewel or she'd kill him. But Kikyo was getting tired of being a priestess and guarding the jewel. She managed to become friends with the half-demon-" Here Inuyasha paused as if thinking, but Kagome realized he was trying to think of a name he could use in place of himself. "Inuyoshiro. It was a trying relationship though. She talked him into to using the jewel to become human so they could live together and marry. But another man wanted Kikyo. He had been badly burned and she took care of him in a cave. The bandit wished to have Kikyo as his own so he offered himself to a hundred demons so he could have a new body. The great demon Naraku was born. He somehow learned of Kikyo and Inuyoshiro, and spilt the couple up by making them believe the other betrayed them. Kikyo sealed Inuyoshiro to a tree where he stayed for fifty years" Inuyasha said looking back at Kagome.
"Wow this is incredible! How do you guys remember all of this stuff?" Honey asked again.
"I met Inuyasha when I was sick at home last year. He had come to our shrine looking into legends about the Shikon no Tama. My grandfather advertised knowing about it. It's actually how we met. I told him the legend and he told me what he knew. We became friends and he brought Sesshomaru over one day. Sesshomaru tested my knowledge and deemed that if I was able to get healthier he'd make sure my schooling was taken care of," Kagome invented.
Sesshomaru nodded "Hn that is correct. Of course I didn't want my idiot brother's fascination with the jewel to get out or we'd have a bunch of nut jobs trying to sell him crap. So of course I asked the owners to keep quiet. They happily obliged" Sesshomaru added.
Kyoya's glasses flashed in the sun and Kagome wondered if he really believed their story. The rest of the club seemed to believe it easy enough.
"The real story begins fifty years later though, with the young priestess Kagome. She was the reincarnation of Kikyo, or so the legend said and looked very similar to her dead counterpart. She came from a faraway village and happened to stumble upon Inuyoshiro stuck to the tree with the arrow. Actually," Kagome said thoughtfully her hand going the God tree by the well house. "It's said that this is that very tree" She murmured her eyes in a faraway place as she remembered her very first meeting with Inuyasha. "She was very confused you see, because where she had come from no demons seemed to be around. At least none that she actively knew of…." And thus Kagome told of her many journeys. Editing the names of her friends so none were the wiser; Shippo was Shou, Rin was Rina, Sesshomaru was Kiruban, Ayame was Sayuri, and Kouga became Chijinyatsu. The group all took turns telling the legend, even Sesshomaru took place in the long explanation of the groups all too real adventures.
It was when she came to the final battle that Kagome felt herself crack. She had to take a moment to collect herself as she told the events that happened as they defeated Naraku once and for all. Though none of her friends died, many of the people that insisted on helping them had. So many innocent people died, and they didn't have to. Kagome and her friends could have easily defeated Naraku without them. Finally her story was over, editing out the part about the rose and how Kagome left them. Instead Kagome ended up with Inuyoshiro and how the story is normally told.
Finally her tale was done and she gave a watery smile before adding "The legendary bone eaters well is actually in our well house" She told them opening the door for them all. It was dark inside and no one really wanted to go into the well house so they all decided to walk back into the house.
Except for Kyoya. He pulled Kagome aside when nobody was looking.
Kagome blinked as he did so looking at him exasperated. "What?"
"That was a touching story. Ka-go-me" He murmured smirking as he held the now stiffened girl against his front. He brought his hand to her neck where the jewel set nestled at the base of her throat, smirking as he felt her heart rate speed up. If he had been using his demon senses, he would have smelt her fear and curiosity.
"What are you getting at?" Kagome asked, forcing the question through her suddenly dry mouth. As he touched the jewel she could almost swear she felt it awaken, as if it was stretching just waiting for the right moment to spring alive. She couldn't let that happen. She'd have no way to explain that! She pulled away quickly and felt the jewel become lifeless, as if it were disappointed. She just hoped to Kami the demon behind her hadn't noticed.
"I think you know exactly what I'm getting at" He said smirking just before the door opened and revealed Tamaki.
"What are you two doing out here? Kagome your mom wants your help in serving everything!" Tamaki added oblivious to what had just happened.
Kyoya smirked as looked at Kagome and offered his arm to her. "Shall we?" He asked, making Kagome glare at him and walk away. The male chuckled to himself and followed behind her with a very confused Tamaki.
Kagome had no idea what Kyoya was playing at, but whatever it was she needed to find out. It wouldn't be good if her secret was found out…Not by him at least. She had no idea what he would do. But she knew whatever it was, she wouldn't like the consequences. And to top it all off she had to find her soul mate before the rose wilted or live alone for the rest of her life…
As she helped her mother serve the group and then sat down Tamiko smiled at her. "So where did you get your necklace Kagome?" She asked.
"My grandfather actually had replicas of the jewels in his shop. I'm sure we could give them to you guys-"
"No! We'll pay for them! Right girls?" Tamiko asked practically jumping up and down. "Your necklace is so cool! I want one!" She added unnecessarily.
Sesshomaru rolled his eyes making Kagome smile. Until she saw Tamaki's look.
"Say! If you girls liked the story so much…We should make it a theme for the host club! Kagome you could help us authenticate things along with your family and we could sell the jewel replicas there!" He said happily making Kyoya smirk.
"That's a great idea, but I don't think you should really involve-"
"Nonsense! Kagome will do it!" Her grandfather decided for her. "And Souta can help you guys out as well!" He declared.
"But grandpa!" Souta whined.
"Hn. If you are doing the legend of the Shikon no tama we will also be of your assistance" Sesshomaru said, making Kagome blink.
"This is going to be so cool!" Tamaki exclaimed.
"And we can all be characters from the legend!" Honey added enthusiastically.
"Yeah" Mori agreed.
Kagome looked at them and shrugged. "I guess so" She muttered unsure. She had a feeling this wasn't going to end well. At the end of the night each girl ended up buying a necklace, and Tamaki bought one for Haruhi. Of course Tamaki wouldn't give it to the female until after they were alone with the club. Kyoya had made arrangements for Kagome to stay after school for the next week and help out with the club, along with Souta. This was going to be a long week.
A/N So….What do you think? Yes I did give up retelling Inuyasha because I got lazy, and didn't feel like it. Besides, that's really all you have to know…Eh whatever. So I'm still taking suggestions for characters and ocs to add into the story ^^ And I updated twice in one day! Go me! Oh! And now I would like for you to tell me who should be who in the host club theme =D … I can't wait to hear from you all xD! Bye for now!
