Well nothing new to say really. Since I'm updating this chapter with the other one same notes apply for both.
Small Note: As you will notice, Myouga is not in this chapter, though its not mentioned. He took off right after talking with IY. Just thought I'd tell you that.
Disclaimer: I don't know Inuyasha. Now leave me alone. If I stole him, I wouldn't be telling you in the first place.
Chapter 3: I Want the Jewel
It was shortly before dawn when the group had gotten up and was ready to leave. Kagome and Sango had gotten a bath early while everyone was still asleep. Unfortunately for them, Miroku happened to wake up before they finished and sought them out. He was rewarded with a rock to the head since Sango had left Hiraikotsu behind at camp. When Kagome got back to camp she decided to ask something that had been on her mind, "Hey Inuyasha, why did you let us sleep in? You usually wake us up at the crack of dawn."
Inuyasha, who was still laid back in his tree, huffed at the question, "So you wanted to be woken up early?"
"No, it just not like you," Kagome said.
"Well usually we were hunting jewel shards. Are there any more jewel shards?" Inuyasha asked knowing the answer.
"No. At least I don't think so," Kagome said as she pulled out the jewel they hard gotten from Naraku and the shards they had. Everyone watched as Kagome carefully placed the jewel shards into the jewel. The jewel glowed anew as it was whole once again. Kagome held it up for everyone to see, "Nope, the jewel is complete."
"I guess the question is what do we do with it now?" Sango asked. There was silence all around for a little bit. They hadn't really thought what they would do with it once it had been completed.
The silence was cut down by a single voice, "I want it." Everyone looked at Inuyasha after he spoke.
"You still want to become full demon after all that's happened and what you know?" Miroku asked as he thought back on the previous conversations he had with the hanyou on the subject. He wasn't sure if Inuyasha didn't care that nothing good ever came from it or if he had something else in mind.
"Hey don't forget, you all know why I was on this quest. I want the jewel." Inuyasha said.
Kagome looked at Inuyasha. She could tell he wasn't going to give up on this, but what caught her eye was something in his. There seemed to be something there that she couldn't tell what it was. Before she could look harder, Inuyasha diverted his face away from her.
Inuyasha started to think that she was going to reject giving him the jewel. "If she doesn't give me the jewel, I can always just take it from her," Inuyasha thought to himself. He hoped though that she would give him it. He didn't really like to force anybody especially Kagome but he had to do this.
"Here Inuyasha," Kagome said as she held out the jewel to him. "You did a lot of the fighting along the way, so I guess you should get what you came for as well as the rest of us did."
Inuyasha was surprised that she actually let him have it. For a second he wasn't sure if he should be then decided that this was his one chance. He quickly took the Shikon no Tama from her.
"Shouldn't we be worried that if Inuyasha wishes to be fully demon, he might go crazy and try to kill all of us?" Shippo asked. When Inuyasha grabbed the Shikon Jewel, Shippo decided to get some distance between him and Inuyasha just in case. He took off to the nearest forest. Miroku pretended to chase after him but in actuality Miroku was running for cover too.
Inuyasha closed his fingers over the Shikon Jewel and closed his eyes. He seemed to think hard for a bit and the jewel seemed to be glowing. After a second, he opened his eyes and the glowing had stopped. Inuyasha sighed and turned to Kagome. He handed her the jewel, "Here you take this, I'm going after the kid and perv before they get too far." With that Inuyasha leapt after Shippo and Miroku.
Kagome just seemed to watch him in confusing as he left. "Do you think he made a wish?" Sango asked Kagome.
"I don't know. I figured that when the jewel glowed it was granting his wish. Maybe it couldn't or wouldn't grant his wish?" Kagome asked part question, part guess. The jewel seemed to look the same as before. It hadn't disappeared. The color hadn't faded as they expected to happen when a wish was made. Maybe Inuyasha didn't make a wish. There was a bit of silence between them before Kagome said, "So why did you stay? Why didn't you run off with Miroku and Shippo?"
"You guys were always there for me no matter what I did or Kohaku. You continued to help me try to save him," Sango said. "I told Miroku once that even if Inuyasha decided to become a full demon. I'd stick beside him and the rest of you. What about you?"
"Well for one, I told Inuyasha I'd follow him no matter what he decided. Not to mention, all I have to do is say 'sit'…" Suddenly Kagome and Sango heard a crash into the ground followed by some loud cursing. Kagome just turned to Sango with a smile, "well you get the picture."
It wasn't long before Inuyasha came back with Miroku and Shippo in tow yelling at Kagome, "Why the hell did you sit me?"
"It was an accident. I didn't mean to," Kagome said. She quickly turned the tables on him though as she changed subjects. "So what's up with the Shikon Jewel? Didn't it grant your wish?"
Inuyasha just huffed in anger and replied with a simple, "Feh!" With that he turned around and started walking away, "Let's get moving back to Kaede's. We were supposed to leave yesterday so I don't want to hear any complaining or you needing a break."
Sango and Kagome looked at each other and both whispered, "He didn't get his wish." No one decided to push the issue any more, everyone turned and followed Inuyasha.
