After the discussion, Hiko-sama appeared at the doorway and was kind of rudely awakened by the loud cheering by the 4 girls. He knew I had discussed the plans with them and foresee that we would be having 3 new buildings in the empty plot of land, which consists of a dojo, 2 storey conference building, and a 3 storey community building.
I was as if I had planned for everything in my head and worked out the most feasible plan for us to sit back and reap what we had sown in the future. I said to Hiko-sama that all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
When he asked who Jack is, I mentioned it's just a name I had thought of. A few moments later, Shippo, Kohaku, Sango, Kikyo and Inuyasha appeared at our garden area and sat down. Shippo and Kohaku walked towards the trading district to get themselves the largest sketchpad they could lay their hands on as Shippo would be doing 3 drawings together.
"You wanted to meet us, Himura? What was the matter about?" Kikyo asked.
"It's about a drawing that Shippo had drawn and it's about the 3 eyed raven Youkai. It reminded me of something and I wanted to summon all of you here so that you could try and look for yourself, if possible."
"That Youkai had been killed by Kikyo's Hama no Ya since its able to evade my hiraikotsu," explained Sango.
"What's with the bird? It reminds you of something?" asked Inuyasha.
"Yes, it's like I've seen the bird somewhere but it happened when I dreamt about it. I dreamt that the bird Youkai had grabbed the Shikon no Tama away and when Kikyo missed shooting it down with her arrow, it struck the Shikon no Tama into hundreds of shrapnel and spreads across the whole of Japan."
"Even if it is a small shard of Shikon no Tama, a Youkai who possesses it would have their powers become ten-fold at least."
"What are you trying to say, Kiddo? Do you mean to say you lost the Shikon no Tama? Since that day you took it with you, I never even see it anywhere else here in this village are you trying to cheat my Kikyo here?" Inuyasha was pulling his sleeves up to his elbows and was cracking his knuckles as if he was ready to beat the crap out of me.
"Relax... I'm going to confirm with Sensei for a while." I reassured the guys as I whispered to Hiko-sama if it's safe if I brought everyone to the Realm of Mind so that they could view the Shikon no Tama that was placed in a shrine in a stand and was in between of two forever burning incense.
"Let us all go inside the house and into the living space. We see if everyone can enter that place together. Would you be able to bring everyone in?"
"They have acute spiritual energy that can see my Third Eye. But you didn't so I had to bring you personally for the first time. Come, let's all go inside the house and I will let all of you enter my Realm and view the Shikon no Tama."
I led everyone in and we all sat down in a circle on the living room floor. I explained that everyone would enter a meditative state and I would call out their names when we are inside the Realm. Once to log off, I would need to nudge your elbows or tap your shoulders to come back to the real world.
"Please do not be alarmed when you see my Realm. So let's begin."
We sat down more comfortably with our knees touching with each other to ensure the connectivity of the constant flow of our meditative state to become as one. After a minute or two of silent meditation, I opened up my eyes first and found that everyone was already in my Realm of Mind.
"Alright, everyone. Welcome to the Realm of Mind. Open up your eyes now. Don't be alarmed when you see the item in front of you. Those are the items and equipment that Sensei and I had used to produce the Refined Steel Plates here."
Slowly everyone opened up their eyes and the first thing they saw was the huge smelting pot on top of the furnace, automated bellows and a dispenser pot on top of the conveyor belt. The sight in front of them was magnificent that they had forgotten their purpose here in the first place.
"Sorry guys, this is not the place where you should be seeing first. Hang on while I change the scenery to the place where I kept the Shikon no Tama."
I stood up and swiped the scene to my right ad it changed to an indoor area very serene with the Shikon no Tama perfectly sitting on a stand and surrounded by two burning incense that gave a nice soothing scent.
"KEH...!! Where is this place? Did you change the scene like as if its a kind of magic or illusion? What is this Realm of Mind you were talking about eh?"
"Inuyasha, calm down. This Realm of Mind exists only in my mind. The same Realm of Mind also exists in you when it is time for you to retrieve the katana that your father had forged using his fang. It was actually a sword but your father had split it into two instead and that's for you and one for your brother."
"How did you know so much about me and my brother and about the katana that my father had forged. How do you know it was n originally a single katana and was split into two for either of us?"
"This Realm of Mind is created to look back into the past and into the future. Come, Miko-sama, please forgive me for using your name instead of any honorific. Please verify the Shikon no Tama and ensure its the same one you had given to me and it is still being purified in this Realm of Mind."
Inuyasha was on all fours and he reached the spot first while Kikyo had only reached him by 3 strides.
"Inuyasha, don't do anything foolish or you won't be able to get back to the real world." I gave out a warning as a precautionary measure to ensure Inuyasha won't grab the Shikon no Tama and brought it back to the real world for himself.
Kikyo reached out and placed it in her hands and it became clear and purified once again after not been handled by Kikyo for a very long time.
"Himura, you had never gone to the shrine where I had placed this Shikon no Tama on a prayer stand and yet you could conjure up the similar stand and scene that I had personally made for it. How do you that?"
"Miko-sama, as I've mentioned before, this Realm of Mind is a place where it holds many secrets and also my past, present and future. What you see here and experience is all part of my construction of the present time I had been. I hope that whatever I mention here would be kept as a secret and no one else is supposed to know it."
"Not even Kohaku, Shippo, Hachi and Miroku?" asked Kikyo when I mentioned that this would be a secret among the 3 of them.
"Do you know the actual reasons why I brought everyone together? Ok, about the bird. Before that remember I told you that someone impersonates Kikyo and tried to kill Inuyasha and impersonate Inuyasha to give a mortal wound to Kikyo on one incident? That person's name is Naraku."
"I personally haven't seen how he looked like and I know that he is a difficult person to deal with. He made himself an impure Shikon no Tama which was black in colour and thus made his demonic power to be a thousandfold!"
"Miko-sama, before your demise, you had nailed an arrow on Inuyasha on a tree and you later was created together with the Shikon no Tama. I'm not sure how it got into the hands of the raven Youkai you had successfully killed, but it happened somewhere after 50 years after your demise."
"A girl by the name of Kagome Hugarashi had entered the Bone Eater's Well from her present time which is mine too and she appeared out of the Bone Eater's Well after the bones of the caterpillar Youkai had been thrown inside there."
"She was born with a shard of Shikon no Tama in her body and easily go back and forth through this era as well as her real world. She was the modern-day Miko like you. She saw Inuyasha stuck on the tree and pulled out the arrow. Inuyasha at that time mistaken Kagome as you, Miko-sama."
"Back to Naraku, he had disguised himself as a Youkai and one day everyone was killed except for Sango who had been mortally wounded by Kohaku this was killed by Naraku and brought back to life to assassinate everyone including your father, Sango-Chan."
"As for myself, I had been reincarnated into this 11-year-old body and you can see that even if I had a young body, but my mind was that of a 47-year-old man... I can show you how we started making money and build up this Fasuto Japan KabushikiGaisha by starting from humble beginnings."
"Please keep this to yourself because I had managed to change history along the way. Just like Sensei, he was the 12th Hiko Seijuro and supposed to hand down his Hiten Mitsurugi-Ryu sword skills to a person named Shinta and then later changes his name to Himura Kenshin."
"But later, Himura defied Hiko-sama and went to war along with the Imperialist, killing hundreds of lives as a Hitokiri and lastly there was an incident where later part, Sensei was killed when he was shot 4 times, three bullets entering his body and 1 stopped by the pocket watch that he had hung directly over his chest."
"Are you satisfied with the Shikon no Tama, Miko-sama?" I finally asked and she nodded and led Inuyasha away from staring at the Shikon no Tama with a greed intent to steal it again.
"Come, I show you our humble beginnings... We could be here for 3 hours and that equals only 1 hour in the real world." I said that as I swiped the scene to the left and changed it to the Blacksmithing area.
I explain how we used to drop in junk in the smelting pot, remove the slag and then used a dipper to manually fill out the fillings in the moulding tray. Then we upgraded to a much modern technology to make Refined Steel and how it became automated in order for us to make about 2,000 on 3 hours on the Realm of Mind.
Next, I swiped the scene and showed them how I used to make the Essense extract and the bunsen burners, the blenders were all shown as an example.
"You can't bring all these back to the real world?" asked Sango as she looked at the gigantic mixer that uses the generated power from the air around it.
"I can't, it may produce an adversely affect, or a butterfly effect or simply disintegrated when it reaches the real world. Even this sharpie that I am holding is from the future and it only existed here in the real world as a reed pen."
Everyone was astounded at what they had seen before their eyes and everyone was milling around the equipment that was laid before them. I explained the distillation that I had done with the flowers, herbs and resins by using the slightly modern manual technology that I could materialise on this Realm of Mind.
"Could you show us what it is like in your real world? I mean the time where you came from before you said earlier being reincarnated into this body?" Hiko-sama asked since he had been wanting to know what it was like in the future.
"Sure, I will let you see from my point of view. But what could I let you see... Hmm. Maybe a motorbike..."
"What's a motorbike?" asked Sango while I swiped the whole scene to the left and it became a clear scene. I visualised a simple automatic scooter, a moped actually since it was easy to visualise. It was a Honda that I ride on in Thailand and after visualising it, it slowly integrated into shape.
Everyone gathered around to see a black coloured machine in front of them and it had a Japanese name in it. I sat on it and asked Hiko-sama to sit across it like a horse and hold on to my shoulders. I switched the ignition on and it purred to life and I gunned the gas and it began to move and I ride it around the empty space.
Hiko-sama was feeling scared at first and as soon as he felt the air blowing in his face, he raised his hands, whooped and nearly lost his balance. I stopped near them and told Hiko-sama to dismount and asked anyone who would want to give a try.
Inuyasha sat on the rear seat in his haunches and held my shoulders with support. This is the first time I felt his strength and his long sharp claws on each finger as he held tightly and I ride around in circles. He seems to enjoy this piece of machinery and called it a horseless carriage.
Soon I visualised a few more things like a desktop computer, a soft and cushy high back office chair and a computer desk to come with it. I had visualised a bookshelf and some books on it, in which the language seems alien to them.
I even visualised an outdoor jacuzzi which would be large enough to fit 8 people in them and a large screen flat Led television that I explained the uses if it to watch the news and so on. Lastly, I visualise smartphones that would change the way we communicate with one another from places very far away.
I turned on the smartphone and received no signal but the icons could be manipulated and I passed it to Sango and showed her how to use the camera to take photos.
I explained the these are the comforts of life in my time, and cars that would replace carriages, trains that could carry thousands of people from one point to the other as well as living spaces apartments that were up to 40 storey high. I can't visualise these because it might disrupt the Realm of Mind of having too much cumbersome items in it.
I soon visualised them out of the scene and one by one disintegrated with it.
"Alright, time to go back to the real world. Everyone gather around and I would be the one to log off from this meditative state and wakes everyone up in the real world ok?"
They all nodded and soon I'm back at the house sitting on the floor and I touched everyone's shoulder and each of them opened up their eyes and soon found that the whole trip only lasted a mere 10 minutes of the real world.
Since it was nearing lunchtime, everyone went outside and waited in the garden as they were discussing the Honda that they rode with me and wished they could bring it back here and they could ride it anywhere and cover long distances in mere hours.
They were chatting busily outside while I was sitting on the floor watching them. Suddenly I saw a familiar movement at the corner of my eyes and turned around.

"Hiya, Sam. Ohaiyo to you. It's been a very very long time since I last met you." Max popped his head when he materialises at the corner near the storage room.
"Yo Max...!! I hope you didn't miss those cold Starbucks Frappuccino that I had taken from your trailer. Its been 4 months here and I never had much coffee intake and I'm craving for it ssoooooooo much...!"
"Hahaha... No wonder. I thought it was the fat bastard who drank my stash from the cooler. So, Sam... You know what's going to happen next right after this?"
"You mean it's time to leap? That's it? How about the Shikon no Tama?" I asked Max as he was ready to knock his cane in the floor indicating the start of the blue light that would be enveloping me soon.
"Don't worry, let the actual Himura Kenshin settle it on his own. It would be in his hands once we leave this place and continue our adventure to another faraway land... Hehehe."
"Heh...! Easy for you to say that. Well, the best part is that I had made known of my existence to those 4 in the garden area. Means that part of my identity is blown right? Tell me, after I made the Leap, what happens to this corporation? Did it go by the Plannings I made and how about the future?"
"I'm not sure Sam, just like before when you received the public citation in the police station, you were smiling to the cameras and then POOF! You made a leap and ended in the Edo period. So right... Without further ado... Let's do it, Sam!"
I looked at them who were busily chatting and finally made a decision to make the Leap that I had thought that I had made the best decisions for the residents of this town.
I stood up and walked to the doorway, for the very last time before I made my leap. They all looked at me and I raised my hand to bade them farewell and called out to them, "Take care guys! I'm going to miss you, Sensei...and Izumi too..."
I turned my head at the direction of Jiyu Residence and suddenly the familiar blue light slowly emitted from the centre of my body and soon enveloped me, making the whole place in dazzling blue light as I mentally prepared myself for my Leap...
