Finally, we've discovered the entire origin of the Shikon Jewel. It truly resembles a curse that repeats through several generations until someone manages to break the cycle. Meanwhile, it will indeed continue to control the destiny of all. Kikyou's plan was very clever, leading the jewel to find Kagome and forcing her to return to the past. This was a great chapter! I loved the original Priestess. It would be nice to have a chapter dedicated solely to her.
