Chapter Two
"The Right Wish"
"Uhm, Kikyo?" Kagome broke the silence. "Do I really have to make this wish? I mean, can't you, instead, do it?" she blurted out.
"Why Kagome? Do you doubt yourself?" Kikyo smiled. "I believe in you Kagome. Your heart is strong and so as your spiritual powers." she continued.
"Well, I don't know. I'm just, scared…" Kagome blushed.
"I have faith in you." Kikyo said. "I have to leave you now. Please, do not speak to Inuyasha about our meeting here." With that, she disappeared.

Meanwhile, Inuyasha kept on running and looking for Kagome, when he saw a small light up ahead. He rushed to it and saw Kagome standing there, waiting.
"Kagome!" he shouted.
He ran to the teary-eyed teenager and hugged her. Kagome silently wept on his shoulder, happy to see his face again.
"I'm sorry Kagome. You must have been scared." Inuyasha whispered on her ear.
"No, not really. I know you will come for me." Kagome replied.
"Let's get you outta here." Inuyasha said.

Next time she opened her eyes, Kagome was already back in the village. She has passed out when Inuyasha fought the hellhound back there.
"Kagome, you're awake." Sango said.
"Are you feeling alright Kagome? You sure your soul is still intact?" Shippo asked, worried.
"I'm fine Sango, Shippo. Thanks for worrying about me." Kagome smiled.
Inuyasha and Miroku went inside Lady Kaede's hut.
"Are you alright Kagome?" the monk asked.
Kagome nodded and smiled. "Thanks everyone. I really appreciate your concern." she said.
"Can I talk to you for a moment Kagome? On private?" Inuyasha asked.
'He looked uneasy. I wonder what's wrong…' Kagome noted to herself. She went outside with the hanyo.
"Inuyasha? What's wrong?" Kagome started.
"Kagome, I don't think you could go back to your time." Inuyasha said, looking uneasy and concerned. "You see, part of Naraku's wish was to remove the Bone-eaters well. When you were sent in the meidou, the well --" Inuyasha was cut off.
"I know. I saw it, in the illusion the jewel showed me." Kagome smiled.
"Are you not worried?" Inuyasha asked.
"No. Coz whatever it is the jewel wants, I know there is a purpose." Kagome replied, looking at the sky, now a tinge of pink, purple and green.
"Inuyasha, can I ask you something as well?" Kagome turned.
"mm-hmm." The hanyo nodded.
"Would you still want to become a full-pledged demon? Or would you fulfill your promise to Kikyo? To become a human instead?" Kagome asked, looking in to those golden eyes of the one she loved.
"I, I wanna be with you." Inuyasha stammered looking away.
"I understand now. Can you leave me now for a moment?" Kagome replied, still looking at the hanyo.
"I, alright." Inuyasha agreed and went back to the hut.
Kagome walked into the forest. She continued deeper and deeper until all she could see is the light from the jewel and the light that envelops her warmly.
"I know." Kagome whispered.
She closed her eyes in silent prayer. 'I wish for Kikyo's life back. Not a mere clay body, but that of living flesh. And I wish for Inuyasha's promise to be fulfilled. I wish them to be happy. 'Kagome said silently.
The jewel turned from palest pink to white. And before she knew it, the jewel was enveloping her in such pure energy in form of light. When her eyes adjusted to the surroundings, she saw Kikyo standing in front of her, with the same smile on her face as when she came for her in the meidou.
