Fear, unmistakable and unimaginable fear. That's all there was in the dark abyss that was the inside of the shikon jewel. She had her family back, a normal life, but the blasted jewel ripped that away. Proving it to be nothing, an illusion. Now the jewel taunted her with it.
Her pain was not physical as the shikon needed her to battle Naraku once she made her selfish wish to be free of the darkness. Instead it continued to haunt her with images of the past and the supposed future she could have.
She had long given up home that Inuyasha would come for her. She had heard him once calling out to her. Telling her not to make any wishes. That had been months ago, or at least as far as she could tell. Time was slowly becoming a mystery to her. She believed it to be another piece of emotional abuse set upon her by the Shikon. She dared not believe the alternative, being that it truly was Inuyasha. If it had been then he was surly dead by now.
The dark was shifting now blurry images starting once again. Her home appeared before her. She glared at it knowing it was not truly hers. Just another picture being played out before her.
Her brother sat in the dust before the well, looking a few years older than she remembered. As he sat he glared at it. All of his hate and anger going through his gaze directed at the well. Their mother appeared behind him. Looking worn and gray even though she should still had many years before she should have been graying.
"Come sota, standing here will do nothing for her." Their mother spoke pain evident in her own voice even though she was trying to stay strong for her son. Just as she always did for her Children.
Sota's look softened a bit as he turned to his mother. "I know I just hate that she's missing"
"Me too dear, but all we can do is be ready to welcome her back with smiles when your sister returns."
Sota went to his mother giving her a hug. The two held each other, both the others strength in this time.
That's how the image ended for her, tears fell as she thought of her family. She knew what she saw was not true. It very well could have been though. She knew her family had to be worried out of their minds for her. Surly they were grieving; she truly wanted to see them again.
"You can." A voice interrupted her thoughts. It was a voice she had gotten used to knowing. The voice of the shikon.
"Simply wish to be with your family again."
"No." was her simple answer. She knew that a wish on the Jewel would not send her home. Only an unselfish wish could be made even then she was unsure about ever being set free from this place.
"Surly you won't let them suffer anymore." The voice continued. "Your own family left never knowing. What about the others in the feudal era you'll abandon them as well. "
Closing her eyes tightly she let some tears fall her hands over her ears trying to block out the voice.
"No!" she yelled at it.
The voice finally faded leaving her to the darkness once again.
