A/N: Rated T,

A Perfect Wish

Naraku lay dead and the jewel was complete. The whole gang, plus Kouga and Sesshomaru, watched the last bits of the spider dissolve before they turned to face Kagome had the jewel in the palm of her hand, giving it an uncertain look. It had taken years to complete this quest and now they were at the end of it. She felt a bit unsure what to do. And what to wish for.

"So…" she started. "Now all we have to do is to come up with a perfect wish…"

Silence hung over the group, everyone trying to come up with an idea that would be the solution to the problem at hand. It had to be a perfect wish. The one and only true wish.

The issue was big, because it was known to all that the jewel would seek a way to warp the wish. One could wish to end world hunger and end up with the entire population of the globe missing innards. Or something like that.

And then the jewel would disappear, to resurface after unnumbered years and be a problem of - hopefully - other people.

Inuyasha looked around his friends and kinda foes. He growled impatiently. He was itching to wash off the blood of Naraku and just to rest for a while. He wanted to get away from Kouga's stink and didn't appreciate at all the tense atmosphere around him. He wanted to lay down and rest after the battle and after so many months hunting the jewel shards and the bastard Naraku. He deserved to be left alone in peace, dozing off on a tree limb.

He also couldn't stand it anymore seeing various 'thinking faces' around him. It looked as if everyone was trying to hold in a decade of farts.

"Oh, fuck it!" he finally exploded and snatched the jewel out of Kagome's hand. The miko gasped and reached for him to give it back, but he lifted the jewel high in his fist.

"Inuyasha…" she started.

"It's not that hard to come up with a wish, damn it!" he exclaimed. "Any wish will do, idiots, there's no perfect solution to this riddle!"

"We have to make a wish," Miroku pointed out.

"Then make one already!"

"You're holding the jewel," the monk used his most patient tone of voice.

"Fine! I wish to be the best lay in Japan! Here, done!" the hanyou exclaimed without thinking too much.

He felt the jewel slip out of his hand and out of existence altogether as he beheld the stunned faces around him. He smirked smugly. Hell if he would wish to be a full youkai!

"Inuyasha…" started Sango in a slow manner.

…And that was when he realized what he'd just said. Oh, crap.

"I meant fighter!" he hurried to amend his wish, but knew perfectly well that it was way too late for that. The bloody gem was long gone.

Kagome reached and grabbed his hand, smirking.

"I think that this was a perfect wish, Inuyasha. Now, let's go see if it comes true."

Oh, cra- wait, well, maybe it wasn't that bad…?
