Chapter two, Accidental Wish.

Disclaimer, I do not own any of the recognizable characters. That honor belongs to Rumiko Takahashi and Yoshihiro Togashi. I'm just playing in their sandbox. ^_^ also, authors note, I know that Sesshomaru's Mokomoko-sama is a part of his pelt from his true form, but I'm altering that idea a little… You'll see Thank you Animalover205for your kind review and for helping me through this writing process, Your support and betta reading is much appreciated, not sure I could do this without you!

Kagome was only unconscious a few moments, when she came to she was still cradled in her mother's arms, the older woman kneeling on the flagstones of the courtyard to hold her traumatized daughter. Slowly, with her mother's help Kagome got back onto her feet and Mrs. Higurashi got Kagome inside, washed, and her wounds tended. Kagome alternating between tears and periods of nearly catatonic Mrs. Higurashi got a compliant Kagome into bed and left her to sleep and recuperate

Kagome lay there, her mind spinning. Images of Naraku's tentacles tearing Inuyasha apart, The desperate struggle of Sango and Kirara to fight Kohaku, and dying because Sango just couldn't bring herself to kill her brother. Miroku using his wind tunnel against Kagura and Kanna but being poisoned and then in a moment of dizziness caused by the poison a tentacle stabbed into his back, exiting his chest and ending the funny, (and always perverted) monk's life. And finally, worst of all, Shippo. Kagome herself at that time was out of arrows, bound to a tree by one of Naraku's tentacles and unable to do anything he tortured the fox kit who she thought of as her own son. In the end all that was left of her kit where blood and bones.

It was then that Kagome lost it, her Miko powers exploding out of her with her grief and rage. A mushroom cloud of crackling blue-white energy flowing out of her. The obvious shock on Naraku's face, then the brief scream of pain as he was purified to a pile of ashes. Kagome, her body moving on it's own, her mind numb walked over to where Naraku had stood and picked up his half of the shikon no tama. She held her half, and his now purified halves together and they fused, the necklace appearing around her neck as she numbly got to work digging graves for her best friends and son.

Silent tears rolled down Kagome's cheeks as she lay in bed, reliving every painful detail over and over, her mind unable to rest. In her mind as she finally sank into sleep she wished "I wish I was like Sesshomaru." She had meant cold and stoic like the Inu Daiyokai, but the Shikon no tama had other plans in mind for the poor Miko.
