#10: Inuyasha (Sesshōmaru & Kagome)
Prompt: Pearl
Prompt: Pearl
...xXx...
The Shikon demanded a magical, white pearl, similar to the one his half-brother had within his right eye that had the ability to open the portal to the netherworld. The requested pearl, however, would have the ability to open the gate of dreams. Since Hosenki was no longer around, he had to track down his son, who he found shared his father’s name. Hosenki, unlike his sire, was such a coward, so it was hard to find him, and after three days of fruitless search, he had no choice but ask his men to look for him.
Much to his dismay, after finding and talking to him, forging such a magical pearl within days was impossible. Hosenki would have to meditate for many years before he could start and not to mention he had to gather several rare items to get the job done. He was not pleased to hear that but had no choice in the matter. The fastest Hosenki could finish the pearl would be within a hundred years. As much as he hated it, he let him do the work immediately as he wanted it as soon as possible.
Over three weeks ago, after he took the lapis lazuli to Bokuseno, the tree demon guided him to a hidden path of his forest. When he reached her resting place, that was a clearing, he saw nothing but a young magnolia tree.
When asked where she was, Bokuseno only said, “The tree is her home, Sesshōmaru-sama.”
For once in his lifetime, he looked at Bokuseno as if he was drunk. Regardless, he did not question it further since Bokuseno was telling him the truth. The tree demon was too mature to lie to him. Even when his sire was born, Bokuseno had lived for five centuries. Besides, after he approached the tree, he had heard the Shikon’s voices that asked for the item he brought.
He had watched the magnolia tree absorbed the pure lapis lazuli before spitting it back to him in another shape. The size was just exactly the same as the pearl. Afterwards, the Shikon asked him to keep the lapis lazuli and bring it along with the second item.
Keep it coming.
