[ X - Adult: No readers under 18. Contains Graphic Adult Themes/Extreme violence. ]
A/N: This skit scene had to be THE hardest thing I had to write because I want to go into detail for all of my readers out there. It was so hard to get a point of view, I must've watched the first episode of Inuyasha a million times just so that I could get a good idea of what I should do for it.
Without further ado: I hope you guys will enjoy this, I put a lot of work in it and I can't guarantee that it will be good :"(

The crowd had gathered behind the shrine for what they had all been waiting for, the true tale behind the Shikon. They had heard about the Shikon leading up to what was about to be acted out right in front of them. Anticipation flowed through each person as their eyes locked onto the clearing.
The lights darkened and everyone grew quiet, paying close attention to the scene that was about to unfold in front of them.
"500 years ago, there was a strong priestess named Kikyo, when she had turned of age, the Shikon Jewel of Four Souls had been entrusted to her protect and keep pure," The lights centered on a female with long hair wearing a miko garb, a jewel hanging down from her neck.
"Throughout the years of protecting this jewel, the priestess grew tired of protecting it, having lost her freedom to be a woman, to love and be loved in return; this jewel had become a burden to her, it was then that she met the hanyou, Inuyasha," a man in a red kimono with white hair and dog ears on top of his head then entered the stage.
"Inuyasha had only one objective: to get the sacred Jewel and wish upon it to become a full demon so that he would finally be revered as strong and would be accepted for he wouldn't have dirty blood,"
"Girl, give me the jewel," came his rough voice as he stalked towards the miko, his hands flexing as if poised to attack her but the miko stood her ground, her cool, brown eyes staring into his expressive gold. "You'll have to kill me first, hanyou," she spat.
"The hanyou had been shocked that the woman was not afraid of him and he disappeared from her sight but she could sense him watching over her every day as she did her duties," the lights then shown the hanyou sitting in a tree while the miko had been sitting on the ground.
"It was then that the hanyou had grown interest in something other than the shikon, he was growing interested in this miko; he had never felt anything like this before,"
"The miko had finally called him out of his hiding place and had him join her, the more time they spent together, then the more they fell in love with one another,"
"Inuyasha," the miko started, her voice soft and warm as she placed her hand on his cheek, his arms wrapped around her waist. "I love you," he whispered to her and dipped his head down to kiss her.
"Would you become human for me Inuyasha, I promise you that I will bring you the jewel without a fight, then we could finally be together and not have to hide," she whispered, staring up into his eyes with such adoring love, his eyes held the same for her as well.
"Yes, Kikyo, I will become human, just for you," he said, the scene darkened with the hanyou leaning down to kiss his beloved.
"But it seems the fates had different plans for them as an evil man hatched a sinister plot to destroy the miko and hanyou so that he could have the jewel for himself,"
The lights centered on the miko laying on the ground, bleeding profusely from her shoulder with the hanyou standing above her. "Why Inuyasha?"
"You fool, you truly believed that I would actually become human for you, I will go on with my wish to become a full demon now that I have rid myself of you," the hanyou left.
"The miko then grew cold after her love betrayed her, or so she thought; heartbroken, the miko vowed that she would die before she let the hanyou have this jewel, and she knew she was dying."
The lights dimmed and opened back up with the hanyou waiting in the clearing for Kikyo to bring him the jewel so that he could become human for her.
An arrow shot at him and he barely dodged, seeing his beloved standing across from him in the trees, stringing up another arrow. The lights went dark once again.
"The hanyou felt betrayed by the only woman he had ever loved and his heart hardened, he was going to go through his original plan and steal the jewel to become a full demon, the next day had him breaking into the shrine that held the precious jewel and he escaped with it.
The lights opened back up with the hanyou running through the thicket to get away, the jewel in his hand.
"Why did you betray me Inuyasha!?" a pained voice yelled, an arrow sped fast toward him. The lights went dark again.
"This was no normal arrow though, Kikyou put the last bit of her energy into sealing the half-demon to the Tree of Ages, never to awaken again.
The lights opened back up with the hanyou being pinned to a tree, his hand reaching out towards Kikyou as the jewel rolled on the ground.
"Ki....Kikyou..." was the last thing he said before he lost consciousness.
The lights dimmed and opened back up with Kikyou holding the jewel in her hand, a young girl next to her with a bandage over one of her eyes.
"Kaede, take this wretched jewel and burn it with my body so that no one can use it for evil ever again,"
"Those words were Kikyou's dying wish, Kaede followed through with her sister's wishes and burned the jewel with her beloved older sister's body.
The lights turned out.
"But it seems that was not the last Kaede would see the jewel because 50 years later, a young girl climbed out of an old well, confused and lost in an era that wasn't her own,"
The lights centered on a girl in a high school uniform in front of the sleeping demon.
"This girl had fallen down the well at her shrine because she was dragged down by a mysterious demon. The girl was only 15, as she was being attacked by this demon, Inuyasha had woken up, still sealed to the tree but he could sense the soul of the woman who betrayed him."
The lights dimmed and opened up to a girl being crushed against the hanyou.
"Girl, if you don't want to die, pull this arrow out of my chest," he ordered her
"The girl had done as he had wished, The hanyou, Inuyasha, was freed from his sentence and wreaked havoc on the centipede demon that had swallowed the jewel. After saving the girl, Inuyasha decided it was well time that he took the jewel for himself. He decided he was going to kill the reincarnation of his beloved and become a full demon as he had always wished,"
"But this girl was not meant to die for he was not able to kill her, when he was about to, she used a word of subjugation to subdue him from the beads that Kaede had enchanted and put around Inuyasha's neck. The hanyou and young priestess had begun traveling together because the priestess had shattered the jewel."
"Unfortunately, a witch had decided to bring Kikyou back to life but she needed a soul to do it, this is why she ended up kidnapping the miko from the future. Upon seeing Kikyou floating in the air, Inuyasha called her name and the poor young girl's soul shot out of her body but lost only part of it since Inuyasha had called her name as well."
"As their travels grew, they gained more companions and the young girl found herself falling in love with the brash hanyou, and he was confused as to what to do, he owed Kikyou for betraying her but he wanted to be with the girl he had grown to care for. Kikyou had other plans, bewitching the young girl, she made her invisible to Inuyasha and the older miko kissed the hanyou who had come to her, intending on dragging him to hell with her.
The lights opened all the way up with the full cast standing in front of them.
"The girl is still in love with the hanyou and still travels with him but each and everytime she sees him with her incarnation, her heart breaks little by little," the woman ended her narration.
The crowd stood up and cheered, most of them had tears flowing from their eyes from the impact the story of the jewel had on them.

Kagome sighed with relief once most of the crowd was gone, she had gotten out of the miko garb and settled on a pair of pants and t-shirt. As she left her home once again, she was startled by Saito jogging up to her, the gold contacts still in his eyes.
"Kagome-san, that was amazing, I was so close to crying even though I was in character, and you were phenomenal; you played the parts very well of the miko and the girl from the future," he huffed breathlessly. Kagome smiled at him, "you were great as well, if it hadn't been for the acting, I really would have thought you were a demon," she said with a laugh.
"Ahaha yeah, I am totally a demon Kagome-san," he growled at her and then winked before laughing once again. "Oh I believe it, look how ferocious you are with all the sweat and the contacts," she joked and patted him on the shoulder when he sulked. "You wound my pride Kagome," he teased, "I cannot wait for our date tomorrow," he said with a smile and took her hand, pulling up to his mouth and laying a sweet kiss on it, "until tomorrow, goodnight Kagome," he said and left.
Kagome let out a breath she was holding and watched him leave the shrine before she headed back inside to shower and go to bed.
