Misused

The jewel did its part, taunting, teasing, and giving her every reason to leave them all. It hit her where it knew it could cause the most damage—her heart. But Kagome knew well before this what the right wish was. She knew two years into fighting to get it back what it was. She told no one. It was the hardest choice, a curse, and so its taunting didn't work.

She was not like Kikyo; she wasn't Kikyo. It's power she refused to misuse no matter what it offered her. But the heartbreak was real, and she knew once she was whole again that it was a battle she would have to face alone, much like this one.

So, she chose. The future she knew she would know no more. Her choice set in motion a new future, new choices, new roads, and new battles.

A new life, a new fate. Nothing would ever be as it was for her.

Because the right wish was no wish at all, wishing on shooting stars never worked for her; why would wishing on this jewel be any different?
