The origin of this shrine's Sacred Jewel Huh? The origin of this Sacred Jewel is Hey Gramps! Remember what day tomorrow is? Oh, how could I forget my dear granddaughter's birthday? A present for me?! The mummified hand of a water imp is sure to bring happiness.
In fact, the origin of that is Have a snack, Buyo.
No, don't give it away! "Origin.
" Origin, huh? My family has been the caretaker of a shrine for generations.
Now then, the origin of these pickled vegetables is They're donations from a shrine-visitor, right? Huh!? The thousand-year-old sacred tree.
The legend of the Hidden Well.
Everything has some origin.
I've been told the stories countless times.
Yet I never paid any attention to them.
Until todaywhen I turned fifteen.
Kagome! Phone call! The review notes? Sure, I'll bring them today.
I know! I'm off! Huh? Sota? Sis You're not supposed to play around here.
But Buyo Did he go into the Hidden Well? Buyo! I think he's at the bottom.
Why don't you go down? This place gives me the creeps.
Such a scaredy cat! Be a man! Something's down there! Yeah, the cat! Aw, man That sound? From inside the well? Buyo! You scared me! Don't scream so loud, Sis! Watch it!

The Sacred Tree! What a relief! I'm close to home! A boy? Hey, what're you doing? These aren't human ears.
I want to touch them Though maybe I shouldn't be doing that.
You there! What're you up to?! Hey! Why am I tied up?! A young girl in strange clothing.
From a foreign land? Will there be war again? Just before rice-planting season? We're so short-handed as it is! Perhaps she's a fox in disguise? Better a shape-changer than another war.
Topknotstopknots All of them have topknots! Where is this place?! Make way for High Priestess Kaede! Great.
Here comes ANOTHER weirdo.
Hey! What're you doing?! They told me a demon was found in the Inuyasha Forest.
I thought some ritual purification was in order.
Then could she be a foreign spy? Yes, but to spy on what?! We can barely feed ourselves in this village.
You there.
Let me take a good look at your face.
Look clever, girl! You! Such a likeness to my sister Kikyo.
Looks delicious! Thank you! Forgive us.
With so many wars these days our young ones have become rash.
Even if I tell them we've no business with wars they refuse to listen and only give me more to worry about.
This, uh isn't Tokyo, is it.
"Tokyo"? Never heard of such a place.
Is that your homeland? Yes, well I'd like to go home soon.
Not that I know HOW, exactly Sister, we must tend to your injury! Take the Sacred Jewel and burn it with my body.
Fifty years have passed since that day.
What's going on?! An evil spirit! That again! Hand me the Sacred Jewel! The Sacred Jewel? Do you have it? I don't know! I don't know about any Sacred Jewel! Give it to me! Give it to me! That demon! It's coming after me! Our spears and arrows have no effect! We must throw her into the Dry Well! A dry well? The well in the Inuyasha Forest.
That's the well I climbed out of.
Which way is the forest? Where the light is shining? What did you say?! It'll pursue me! That girl! How can an ordinary girl see the foul vapors that rise from the forest? Priestess Kaede! Will I be saved?! Will I? Gramps! Mom! Save me! Someone help! Someone help me! I can smell it The scent of the woman who killed me! It's approaching! Damn! Give me the Sacred Jewel! I don't have any such thing! Oww! Hey, Kikyo! Why are you wasting time with the Centipede Monster? Did I just heartalking?! Are you alive? Kill her in one strike, Kikyo.
Just like the time you killed me.
Huh? Don't look so dumb! Lost your mind already, Kikyo? Kikyo? Kikyo? Who's this Kikyo?! You listen here, my name is She's coming.
All right! Heave! Right! I'm saved So hopeless, Kikyo! Hey you! Don't mistake me! I said I'm not Kikyo! Shut up! Who else would give off a scent like you? Huh? Or maybe not.
Finally! My name is Kagome! Ka-go-me! Kikyo seemed smarter.
And she was a beauty.
Let go of me! Ouch! You let go of me! Priestess Kaede! The Inuyasha! The Inuyasha has awakened?! The spell that was cast was eternal! So why ? - Give me the Sacred Jewel! - Let me go! The Sacred Jewel?! Stop! That's right! Something like this happened in that well But why can I do these things? Something is shining! From within me Is that the Sacred Jewel? Give me that Jewel! Huh?! Hurry! I heard that a half-demon brat was after the Sacred Jewel.
So you're the one? A half-demon? What is he anyway? Don't underestimate me, Centipede Monster! I can take care of you if I really get down to business.
You! You're awfully arrogant.
Are you strong? Huh? Well, are you? What can he do, strapped down like that? He's under a powerful spell.
Just stay where you are and watch! Damn you! It swallowed the Jewel! No! What will happen, Priestess?! Its arms are growing again.
Rejoice! My power is being restored! It's got me! Hey, can you pull out this arrow? Huh? I'm asking if you can pull out this arrow! This arrow? This one? Do not remove it! That arrow secures the spell on the Inuyasha! You must not free the Inuyasha! You old hag, wake up! Do you want to become fodder for the centipede?! Once it completely absorbs the Sacred Jewel, it'll be the end! Come on! Do you want to die here, too?! l- I don't understand, not any of it! But I know one thing I DON'T WANT TO DIE! It disappeared the arrow that held my sister's spell.
Inu yasha? You brat! Shut up, old hag! Iron Reaver, Soul Stealer! Wow He really is strong.
It's still moving! Do you see the flesh that shines? The Sacred Jewel is embedded there! You must remove it, else it will keep rejuvenating! N-N-No way! There! I can see it! Only you can possess the Jewel.
You, who seem so like my sister, Kikyo.
Why was it inside my body? This jewel which can empower such a demon? Exactly! Which a human has no possible use for it! If you don't want to feel the pain of my claws just give me the Jewel and get it over with.
But But! But isn't he supposed to be the HERO?! When you say "half-demon" you also mean "half-HUMAN," right? So why isn't he fighting on the side of the humans, then? A "yôkai"demon is after the sacred "Jewel of Four Souls" Why would it be inside ME? And who's this "Kikyo" I supposedly look like?! Would someone please tell me why I'm stuck in Feudal Japan? Next time.
"Seekers of the Sacred Jewel" See you soon!
