What Wish?

Kagome froze," Who-who's there?" The water started to ripple and a bright light seemed to be getting closer to the surface. Kagome tried to inch herself backwards as the water split. There, in front of her, was a beautiful shining…what was she?

"Do not be afraid my child, I have seen the way you suffer and have come to offer you a wish. What is it that you truly desire? What is your dream?" It, she said as she moved closer towards the bank.

"Who are you? What are you?" Kagome asked her eyes wide with fear and distrust. "I am a wish giver. I grant wishes to people that I see fit. My time here is limited and I want to grant one last wish before I leave this world," it said as it aged before Kagome's eyes. "But you, you seemed so young a second ago."The woman smiled," Yes I suppose I did didn't I? You see the longer I am out of the water the more my appearance ages. You must hurry and make a wish before my time is spent girl."

"Fine, I wish-I wish that everyone would finally see me for who I am and not just as some shard detector. That is what I truly wish," Kagome said decidedly. "If that is truly what you want then it is granted to you," it said, then it became water and mixed in with the stream.Just then, Inuyasha cam busting through the trees and grabbed her arms," What's wrong with you? You could've been hurt, are you ok?" Kagome pushed herself away from him," I'm fine, like you care." "Stupid wench, you have problems," Inuyasha turned towards the forest," come one lets get back to camp."'I thought he was going to be nicer to me. Oh no, maybe I waited to long, what if the wish giver was to weak to grant my wish?' Kagome thought to herself sadly. She truly cared about Inuyasha, and to him she meant nothing, or did she?Truth is that Inuyasha doesn't just see her as a shard detector, but of course he would never say that to her. He was to macho to admit that she was his friend, and that maybe he liked her as more than a friend.

(I almost feel sorry for him…lol… nah)

Back at camp

It was dark by the time that they got back and everyone had already started getting ready to go to sleep. Kagome unrolled her sleeping bag and stared longingly at Inuyasha who was staring off into space on his branch. 'Oh what I would give to be with him. Or to be in his arms.' She laid down and started to slowly drift off to sleep.

Later that night she woke up to hear arguing voices coming from somewhere in the trees. She saw the glow of Kikyo's soul stealers(that's what their called right?).'Why? Why does he have to be with her?' Kagome had to go see for herself, she didn't want to believe that Inuyasha could be with Kikyo. She crouched in the bushes hoping that Inuyasha would not hear her.

Inuyasha & Kikyo

"Come with me, come with me to hell. You couldn't possibly love that- that human? She's weak and can barely take care of herself." Kikyo was holding onto Inuyasha's robes clinging to him begging him not to go.

"No Kikyo, I might not love her that way, but I have a reason to live. I have a reason to not go with you. I-I"

"Don't you love me Inuyasha? Didn't you say that yourself? And, what is your reason? Can you even think of one? Can you? I thought not. Give it up Inuyasha, come with me admit it, you have no reason to stay."

"Your right, I don't I'll go with you, I will follow you wherever you go," and with that Inuyasha pulled her into an embrace.

Kagome got up and ran to a clearing a ways away, 'this isn't happening, this isn't true. Oh please let this be a nightmare, didn't I wish for him to see me in a different light? Oh whats going on?' She fell to her knees and cried."Get up miko," said a voice that came from the dark shadows of the trees. It was a cold uncaring voice it held no emotion. Kagome rubbed her eyes and quickly got up dusting off her blue-green pajamas. "Sesshomaru what are you doing here? Did you come just to watch me cry over you brother, do you enjoy the pain of others that much?" She said bitterly. "Quite the contrary, miko. I have come to take you away. I want you-uh I mean Rin wants for you to live in my castle."

"And if I don't want to go? What then?" she said, anger lacing all of her words,' Why can't he just leave me alone? Why can't they all just leave me alone?'

"Then I," Sesshomaru said," will take it upon myself to make sure that you come with me." He walked up to her and knocked her unconscious with one quick blow to the head. He carried her back to ah-un and together they went to his castle.

Meanwhile with Inuyasha & Kikyo

"Oh Inuyasha I knew you would see it my way." Kikyo said as she held him tighter.

"Stupid clay pot," he drew his sword and drove it through Kikyo's stomach," did you actually think that I would follow you? Fat chance, I love Kagome. Got that Ka-go-me. Not you."

"Inuyasha why? Why her?" Kikyo said as she started to turn into ashes and was carried off by the wind.

So, what d'you guys think? Its sorta confusing I know, but it makes sense later on...I think. Well, I have it written down and it made perfect sense to me. Be back later with the third chapter. R&R please
