Naraku was finally defeated. Dead, lying in front of Kagome. She reached out and grasped the stolen Jewel Shards. Kagome could feel the evil aura reflecting off of it.

She took out the shards Inu-Yasha and all her friends collected.

She gently pushed them together, and a light purple light burst out of Kagome's body. The Shikon No Tama was in her hand, finally after 3 years it was over! The sphere was now cold, and didn't have an ounce of evil in it.

Inu-Yasha limped over to her and smiled, to weak to talk. Kagome just nodded and grinned loudly. They had done it! They had defeated Naraku!

Kagome shoved the Shikon No Tama into Inu-Yasha's hand and frowned.

"You deserve…it"

Inu-Yasha placed it in Kagome's and limped away, walking toward Miroku.

'Why did he give it to me? He wanted it in his possession!'

Inu-Yasha's ears twitched. Kagome looked toward the forest, that they were close to.

"Inu-Yasha…you have defeated Naraku, now you can come to hell with me!"

Inu-Yasha nodded and walked back to Kagome.

"I…I…I…lo…I'll miss you so much, but I must do it…"

Kagome felt hot tears prick her eyes. She backed away from Inu-Yasha and ran, ran away.

She heard Inu-Yasha yell for her, but ignored it.

'I wish I could be Kikyo, I wish Inu-Yasha would love me, so I would know how it felt…'

Kagome gasped and dropped the jewel, and remembered Kaede's words.

"Once the Shikon No Tama is complete, one wish can be set upon it. Once the wish is made, you must let go of the jewel and wait."

"Oh no…if that's true…then…"

Kagome felt her insides twist, and she fell to her knees. She was going to be sick.
