Luck of the Draw
Kagome died from her wounds soon after the final battle against Naraku. Sesshoumaru had already departed, taking with him the only chance of reviving her.
And so, Inuyasha wished upon the Shikon: Return her to me!
The jewel answered: In every lifetime, her soul will seek you.
He waited impatiently now, clawed fingers gripping the quiescent jewel, as the small party approached the shrine.
Pulse.
She was here. Finally!
A boy detached himself from the group, and ran to Inuyasha.
"Dog ears!" he cried, delightedly, hands lifting to touch them.
The jewel pulsed again. What...? Him?
Him?
"Fuck."
