This time...
Defeating Naraku was a big deal, but the group of friends and one demon Lord didn't even have time to adjust to the fact that it was all over because, for one Miko, it wasn't. Kagome had been engulfed in darkness for three days. Kikyo explained that Kagome would have to make a choice.
Wish and return to a time unknown to them or become the jewels vessel.
It was such a big deal that even the demon Lord stayed close. He wondered just what her choice would be. Even though he did have a new speck of respect for human life, he did not fully trust she would make the right choice after all; she couldn't even get over his foolish half-brother, even with the other Miko standing right in front of her, clearly not going anywhere. He could smell skin and blood now running through her veins.
