The Charm
 
Kikyo felt her body brace itself as though a tremendous weight had just been dropped upon it as she closed her hand around the bauble.
 
Her eyes opened wide. “What is this charm?”
 
The demon slayer looked at her with the utmost seriousness. “It is no charm. The Shikon Jewel holds enormous power that can be used for both good and evil. Only one such as yourself has the ability to purify it and keep it from falling into the wrong hands.”
 
Kikyo glanced down at the tiny, shimmering orb on her palm. Never had something so innocuous looking felt so heavy to her heart. Perhaps, she wondered, the smallest of objects can hold the deadliest of consequences.
