Daniel's Disclaimer: Ah, you know the drill. I own nothin'.
This idea has been stewing in my brain for a while, and I finally decided to see if I could express it in 100 words.

Finally.
The battle concluded, Naraku defeated, the jewel whole.
...Kikyo at rest...
Finally, the jewel, the wondrous jewel lay uncracked in his hands, a perfect glowing sphere.
Inu-Yasha looked towards Miroku and Sango. They were absorbed in his hand, finally whole.
Inu-Yasha looked up at Kagome.
"Go on, Inu-Yasha." She smiled. "It's yours now."
Inu-Yasha held the jewel up reverently, gently polishing the completed surface.
Purple smoke exploded upward, and the startled friends watched as Midoriko floated mid-air, dressed as an Arabian prostitute.
"I am the genie of the jewel, and you will recieve three wishes!" She announced loudly.
"..."

When you stop to think about it, the concept of the jewel granting a wish is pretty silly. The whole concept of the jewel being treated as anything other than a "D-Cell of Evil" contradicts a lot of stuff in the first manga. It bothers me most in "Hero in the 21st Century," where the jewel does some stuff that goes against the basic cosmology of the Japanese mythos.
Anyway, that's probably way too much whining on my part. As always, reviews are appreciated to an almost pathetic degree.
