AFTER THE SHIKON NO TAMA
By Crazy-Mango-Chick
Chapter 1
The Shikon No Tama, Finally Completed
~Feudal Japan~
Kagome stared at the incomplete Shikon No Tama in her left hand. After having a weak demon swallow it, it had reconnected itself. But there was a single shard missing. She absently rolled the object in her right hand around between her fingers. The object was the last shard.
InuYasha and the others stared at her. Finally, InuYasha got impatient and shouted, "Are you going to do it or do I have to?"
Kagome frowned at InuYasha's impatience and said, "Alright already!" Impatient jerk She slowly put the jewel shard in the little dent. Please, let us make our wish now; Before someone interferes. A white light came around the cracks until the cracks disappeared entirely. Suddenly, the white light burst out from the now completed jewel and formed around Kagome and everyone around her. What the--? What's happening?! Thought Kagome.
CHIKUSHOU! Thought InuYasha We've already had to go through all this trouble of putting the jewel together! NOW what do we have to do?!?!
~White Nothingness~ (A/N I had no idea what to call it ^_^;;)
They all look around. Everything around them is white. But they cannot distinguish boundaries. They didn't know where the ground ended and the sky began. They seemed to be floating in the air.
Miroku put on a mischievous grin and thought to himself I wonder if our senses or still intact…I'll just check. He walked over to Sango with an innocent look on his face before he groped her. At least THAT sense is intact "Itaii" @_@ Ouch, that sense is still intact. Miroku has a large red handprint on his face while Sango has a perturbed look on hers. "Miroku you BAKA!" She shouted.
-_-;; "Hopeless lecher…. when will he change his ways?" InuYasha sighed. Shippou walked around, "What is this? Where are we? How are we going to get back?" He sat down with his little tail drooping and started to cry.
Kagome sat down next to Shippou and started patting his back in a motherly way. "Don't worry; I think we'll be ok."
The Shikon No Tama appeared in front of them all, floating midair. A loud voice filled the room. They could not tell where it was coming from. It was a monotone voice, and it was expressionless. The only thing they could truly distinguish was that is sounded like a woman's voice. "You five have put me, the Sacred Jewel (A/N another name for the Shikon No Tama) back together and you want your wish. Whatever it is that you wish for, remember. There will consequences. Now tell me, what is it that you wish?"
Everyone in the group knew what was to be their wish but none had the courage to speak. Then, Kagome stood up and with a smile on her face she said, "Our wish is to have the Shikon No Tama destroyed, permanently."
The voice chuckled, which was eerie since it didn't show any emotion. Laughter is supposed to be filled with joy but this one was filled with nothing. "It can be done, but at a cost. And only one of you can pay the price. The one person is Kagome. She is the only one among you who carries that wish only. Sango wishes to use me to get her brother back. InuYasha wants to be full demon. Shippou wants to get his father back. And Miroku wishes to be surrounded in women."
I wonder what the "cost" is. Could it really be so high that Kagome is the only one able to pay it? Everyone but Kagome thought. Kagome took a step forward with not even the slightest hint of fear on her face. It must be destiny. I have to pay the price, no matter what it is… but what IS it? "What is the price? I will do anything but I want to know what it is."
There was a silence that seemed to last forever. Then, the voice spoke. The voice said, "The price is….."

I hope you like the story so far. This is only the beginning though. I just had to put down a cliffhanger. I wanted to see what people thought of me so far and if I should just give up (even though that'd be AWFUL). I think I wrote the right things for each of the characters. Like Miroku's little scheme ^_^ Feel free to send reviews. It'd be nice to know someone is reading this. Tell me what you like and don't like. And also put down some suggestions. I need encouragement!
