Something that popped into my head. Double zeros are break thingies

Nobody expected Shippou to end up with the Jewel. But there it was, in his tiny clawed hand after it had rolled so innocently to his feet, making small tinking sounds when it hit a rock or pebble. Sesshomaru had made the cut in Naraku shortly after it was completed and absorbed by the hanyou that gave the Jewel a leeway to just...escape.
Nobody had expected Sesshomaru to join their forces either. But that was a different story. Here and now there was the Shikon Jewel ripe for wishing in the hands of the least likely member of the Shard Hunters. While the rest had somewhat recovered from the shock and activity had resumed tenfold, the little kitsune stared at the palm of his hand.
Naraku's tentacles had begun to stretch toward him.
Miroku's air rip widened and he screamed.
Sango wept.
Inuyasha shouted unintelligible things to both Naraku and the fox.
Sesshomaru kept fighting, slashing.
And above all of that, the voice of his mother.
"Shippou! Make a wish!"
Abruptly he started and then thought of the only thing he would ever wish for. After the nights when everyone thought he was asleep. The innocence they all thought he posessed. The tears that she tried to hide from him.
"I wish for Kagome to be happy!"
The Jewel crumbled into dust and the fine powder took off into the wind along with Naraku's howl of incredulity. But after that, he crumbled into dust and disappeared into the wind too.
Miroku stopped shrieking as the Kazana stopped and closed up.
Sango wept still, but this time it was for joy as Kohaku rose from the dead.
Inuyasha seemed to grow with power and markings appeared on his face, but there was no madness.
Sesshomaru's arm grew back.
Kouga breathed again.
"What the hell was that you stupid kitsune!"
Inuyasha had grabbed him by the tail and shook him.
"I...I..."
"Why the hell would you wish for Kagome to be happy!"
Shippou started crying.
"B...Because she deserves it more than anyone!"
"Why then did all of our wishes become true?" Miroku addressed no one in particular.
"Because the only way Kagome would be happy, is if we were all happy," Sango said quietly. By this time, Kagome had strode over to Inuyasha and cradled Shippou in one arm. With the other, she slapped Inuyasha across the face.
It was neglected, the information about these last couple of months. Things had deteriorated between Inuyasha and Kagome to the point that even friendship between the two was questionable. It is a private matter, between the two of them, but now it only causes digression.
It was unexpected, the way the black pearl in Inuyasha's eye just popped out after the blow to his face. Even more so when it glowed and shifted shape into a humaniod figure. After the light had faded, the one left standing there was Inutaisho.

So, continue? Actually, I'll continue it even if you hate it. So ha!
