FLASHBACK

Naraku has been defeated and the tainted jewel was purified by Kagome's arrow. However, before he was sent to his demise, Naraku made a wish that will only come true if he dies, since the jewel did not grant his true wish.

So Kagome was sent to hell by Byakuya's meidou, which he stole from Inuyasha.

While Inuyasha followed Kagome through his own meidou, Kagome was given an illusion of a world without Inuyasha, Kikyo, Naraku, without everyone. But upon seeing the tree where she first found Inuyasha, bound by Kikyo's sealing arrow, she remembered, and woke up in hell, with the purified jewel beside her.

END FLASBACK

"Now I remember." Kagome said to herself. "Inuyasha can't save you here. Together we'll suffer in hell, Kikyo's soul, and you." 'That was Naraku's voice' Kagome thought. 'Will I be really doomed in hell? Just to save everyone else, I have to die? No! Naraku must be playing tricks on me! Even in death, he doesn't want the jewel to remain purified.' Kagome told herself.

"Help will come. Have faith." a resonant voice filled with heartwarming kindness rang in the dark. 'That's Midoriko's voice!' Kagome thought.

Everything around her was dark. The only source of light was the purified Shikkon no Tama. Kagome began to get scared. However, she have faith that Inuyasha will come. That slight ray of hope is what keeps the jewel pure.

'What's taking you so long Inuyasha?' Kagome began to doubt once more.

Then, the light from the purified jewel grew brighter. When her eyes adjusted to the light, she found Kikyo, smiling warmly at her.

"Midoriko sent me here for you." she smiled. "I wanted to congratulate you for defeating Naraku. And, I wanted to thank you. You saved my soul from burning in hell. You purified the jewel with your own light. It's now rightfully yours." Kikyo continued, still smiling.

"Once you got out of here, use the jewel. If you made the right wish, the jewel will cease to exist. Only you could do it." she ended.

"The right wish? What is it?" Kagome asked.

"The wish of a pure heart. Without greed, malice, and evil. A wish full of kindness and love, powered by a strong will." Kikyo replied.

"A wish of pure heart?" Kagome repeated. 'I wonder what kind of wish will I make.' Kagome thought.

"Don't think about it for now. Let us just wait for your savior to come. I will wait with you here, as a return for calming my soul." Kikyo smiled.
