(Authors Note: I've just realized that Kikyo plays a very important role in the story that effects almost everyone. Like if it wasn't for her, Inuyasha would never have been pinned to the tree. And Omnigumo would never have fallen in love with her and sold his soul to the demons. And Kaede would never have lost an eye. () Kikyo is the Miko that started the story after all. This is in her honor.)
Chapter one
'The Wish'
"Stupid Inuyasha!" Kagome busted into her bed room and slammed open her window, "Stupid, Stupid Inuyasha!"
Sota came up beside her casually, "Hey sis, mom asks you what you want for dinner…." He froze the minute he saw Kagomes face, "Okay, okay, I'm leaving," he backed away out of the room cautiously.
Kagome returned to her gaze outside the window. She felt like her heart was shattered once and for all. He'd spent the whole day with her, the whole day! I don't mind if it's a casual visit once in a while but the whole day? They must have really enjoyed each others company. Kagome leaned again the window frame. This is where he used to visit me. I bet their still together, in the time both of them belongs. How did this happen? How did I get this jealous? She could feel hot tears roll down her face. Whether it was from hatred or sadness, she couldn't tell.
Kagome reached into her pocket and took out the jewel shards they'd worked so hard to collect, her and the gang, and clutched them in her hands. The jewel of four souls, it was suppose to keep us together, Inuyasha and everyone else, why did Kikyo just have to get involved in this? Inuyasha didn't even take notice of my existence even though I was only a few meters away. His eyes were on Kikyo, and didn't leave her. She looked down at the shards and squeezed them tight trying to exert all the hurt in her heart into the shards. I wish…..I wish Kikyo would just go away! I wish she'd never existed!
The stars in the night sky twinkled reacting to her wish in her heart. She fell asleep that night with the shards still clutched in her hands.
"Kagome!"
Kagome cracked open her eyes. Her mind ached pushing away all her thoughts. I have to go back today, I have to go back and deal with Inuyasha. I wish I could stay here though, just for a few more days, but I left without saying anything to Sango or Miroku either. She got dresses waddled her way down stairs, "Mom?"
Kagomes mother greeted her with a smile, "Come on, you're going to be late for school. I'll warm up your dinner from last night. You fell asleep so I didn't want to wake you."
But Kagome was already out the door before listening to her mothers words. As she passes the sacred tree, something was different but Kagome didn't take notice of it. I'll return to tell them that I'm staying here for a few days, to get rest. Best if I can avoid Inuyasha though. He'll just make up excuses as always. She flung open the shrine door and jumped into the well, expecting that same familiar glow that takes her away. But instead, she hit rock bottom.
Kagome whimpered in pain. Her knee caps here scraped. What? Why isn't the well letting me through? She took out her jewel shards making sure they were still there. They were, but there was no aura coming from them. Kagome closed her eyes but couldn't feel the shards in her hand anymore. It's as if their power was all used up.
She climbed back up the well to back to the house and patch up her knee. A dozen questions were flowing through her mind but she couldn't answer any of them. It was only when Kagome passed the sacred tree for the second time when she realized what was different. She gasped and felt on overflow of fear. The patch on the sacred tree, where the bark had been worn away because Inuyasha was pinned to it, it was gone.
