Disclaimer: I can only dream about owning Inuyasha. He is so not mine.
Chapter 1: When You Wish Upon a Jewel
Inuyasha studied the glowing pink jewel in his claws. The beautiful orb was begging for a wish to be made on it. After six long years, the final battle was over.
Naraku was dead.
The jewel was whole.
He had a choice and a wish.
Kagome knew the well would close off when the wish was made. No matter
Inuyasha's choice, she would stay in this time. Shippo needed her. He was her son and she wouldn't abandon him. She had told Inuyasha that she loved him and would continue to love him no matter what he chose to do. She was much closer to her friends here than her family in the future. They would be her family now.
Miroku and Sango had gone to her old village and to the places where Miroku's father and grandfather had fallen victim to Naraku's curse, to pay respect to their ancestors.
Kagura had gone with Sesshomaru after the final battle. She had offered to look after Kohaku and Rin for the demon lord. After protecting the boy, by keeping the secret that he was no longer under Naraku's control for the past five years, she still wanted to protect him. She knew the two human children would be in danger despite the fact that they were under Sesshomaru's protection. It would be a terrible shame if Kohaku survived the hell Naraku had put him through the past six years to die at the hands of some demon with a grudge against Sesshomaru.
Sesshomaru had told her to do as she wished and Kagura took that as positive answer and followed the demon as he left the scene of the battle.
Koga and the other wolf demons had returned to the mountains to rebuild the tribe.
Inuyasha would be lying if he said he was sad to see him go. Hell, he was happy to be rid of Sesshomaru too. Naraku was dead and if he was lucky it would be a few decades before he was Koga or Sesshomaru again. Things were most definitely looking up.
With a sigh, he looked at the moon then to the jewel that sparkled in the light.
"I'm not really sure how to do this, but I guess this is how. I wish for Kikyo, the one time protector of the sacred jewel to live again."
A whirlwind of air surrounded him and glowed pink with black mixed in.
"Why do you make this wish?" A dark voice growled.
"Because Kikyo deserves this."
"Do you make this wish so you can be with a living Kikyo?" A woman asked him.
"No. I have no desire to be with Kikyo. I simply hope for her to have another chance
to live as I have had. I plan to mate with the current guardian of the jewel, Lady Kagome." Inuyasha spoke his words clearly.
There was a moment of hesitation. For a second, he thought that they would deem the wish selfish.
"Inuyasha, we have decided to grant your wish, for it is pure and selfless. You could have easily wished to become a full demon or for your mate to become a half demon, but you wished for someone that neither one of us deems worthy. For that, you have purified the jewel." The wind became more violent and the glow intensified.
"You're mate will become half demon when you perform the mating ceremony. This is a gift from us in gratitude, Inuyasha. For what you and Kagome have done for us."
"Many others helped us." Inuyasha interrupted.
"We know this Inuyasha and are grateful to them as well. We are now free. Our souls will now be at rest." The two voices spoke together and then they vanished. The light faded.
The jewel disintegrated to a fine powder in his hand. A gust of wind caused his silver hair to whip about him. He watched as the remnants of an object so many had killed and died for vanished in a pink and black eddy in the wind.
The Shikon no Tama was finally gone.
Kikyo was alive.
