Another peaceful day, same mountain standing,
it seems; where Ears Pup stole the Shikon no Tama and got thumb-tacked to
a tree.
|
Ah, but in modern Tokyo.
|
At a shrine-ground place, a girl asks, Shikon no Tama? |
Her reply is from an old man- Yes! As long as one has this, their family will be secure and business
will prosper! |
|
|
|
|
It's a different jewel.
Swinging it, the girl asks:
Selling these glass balls? Keychains aren't popular anymore.
|
Grampa:
In the past, a jewel called the Shikon no Tama was this
temple's...
|
She finds it a good kitty toy.
|
Grampa tells the girl-Kagome- to listen,
but Kitty bat, bats, interrupting the story.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Kitty falls, and the story continues:
This Shikon legend is...
|
Leaning in, she asks:
Hey, Grampa, remember what day it is tomorrow?
|
Grampa:
Oh, I wouldn't forget my
granddaughter's birthday! |
This mummified goblin
hand will bring fortune.
In fact, its origin is...
|
|
|
|
|
Truly a toy for Kitty.
|
Kagome lives on a very old shrine, with
a lot of history.
[boxes of keychains!]
|
Even a legend of pickles!
Well, as Grampa says...
|
A 1000-year old temple, a well with a
history...
Everything there has some legendary information.
|
|
|
|
|
People've asked Kagome about it, but
she never thought about it much,
|
until her 15th birthday.
|
A city's busy life.
|
With a click of her shoe, our girl is
off!
|
|
|
|
|
Seeing her brother,
she stops.
|
What's Souta doing?
Well-
|
Kitty ran into the well. |
Souta:
It feels so creepy.
|
|
|
|
|
Creaking sounds sound within the concealed
well.
|
Rather... murderous sounds.
Souta hides behind Sis:
Something's down there!
|
Kagome:
It's just the cat! Sheesh.
|
Stepping down,
she wonders: |
|
|
|
|
From inside the well?
|
Ahhhh!
|
|
Just Cat.
|
|
|
|
|
Souta:
You scared me!
Don't scream so loud, sis!
|
Kagome:
Watch it! I'm down here 'cause you're scared!
|
Souta looks beyond her,
|
seeing a bright blue incandescence of
light ...
|
|
|
|
|
beyond the well unsealed.
Too late he warns her.
|
A surging force bursts through...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Souta:
Sis!
|
|
What creature has
so many arms?
|
One like this! |
