Title: A Spider's Poison

Chapter8 : Wish Come True

Author: LightningRose

Everything was so dark; she could feel her entire body being pulled in so many directions. She knew she couldn't have been dead, for she was in too much pain. She felt her chest burn and squeeze, there was just so much pain…

"Kagome…"

She heard a voice calling to her, a man's voice. It sounded so familiar but no matter how much she tried, she just couldn't put a face to the voice.

"Kagome!!"

Why did they sound so desperate? She felt her eyes start to burn, her heart ache, her need to get to them rise. Who was calling her? Why were they calling her?

"Kagome please…please open your eyes, don't leave me."

She wanted to stay, wanted to go to them to let who ever it was know that everything would be ok, she was right there. But where was she? She couldn't see anything, and it was so cold. The voice sounded distant now, were they giving up on her?

"Come back!! Don't give up, please!" She tried to scream as loud as she could but her throat tightened, her chest burned so bad. Maybe she would just rest a moment, close her eyes and let the pain go away.

Naraku looked down at the small woman in his arms; he wouldn't let her die, not after everything. Her breathing was shallow, and her heart beat almost non existent.

"Kagome please…please open your eyes, don't leave me." He hugged her body close, trying to warm her up. She felt icy to the touch, so pale and lifeless, nothing like the Kagome he knew.

"Is Kagome dying?" Everyone turned towards the small fox child. How could they tell him his mother was dying? They didn't have to though; he could see his answer in their eyes. This wasn't how it was supposed to end, Kagome wasn't supposed to die here, not like this. Sango would have fallen to her knees if Miroku wasn't holding onto her so tightly. She couldn't even look at Kagome's face; it was too much to bear. Inuyasha was standing off to the side away from everyone, he couldn't accept that his best friend was dying, and it was his entire fault.

"There is one way to bring her back." All eyes immediately turned to Kikyo's. She was just standing there, looking tired and sad. Naraku looked at the priestess that once held his heart and then back down at the woman that held his heart now. He would do anything to bring her back, even give up the shikon jewel. His eyes widened, that was it, he would wish upon the jewel!

"The Shikon Jewel! It can save Kagome, it has to work."

The group could only look at their sworn enemy with shock. That was the last thing they expected from him. Naraku was supposed to be an evil, cold heated demon, not a man whose heart was breaking. But suddenly it didn't matter, because he was right, the jewel could save Kagome from dying, it was an unselfish wish right? It had to work!

"Unfortunately there is a price to that wish." Kikyo stared into the red eyes of Naraku. She knew not what the price may be; only that it would be a severe one. The jewel only under pure thoughts would grant a wish with no consequences. However, because of who Naraku is, even if his wish was pure it would still require a price, because even the jewel has a price for life.

"I care not if that price be my life! If it means Kagome will live then so be it." Naraku stared down at the woman in his arms, how amusing that this human could bring forth so many emotions in him. That she could melt his heart and cause him to set aside all his dreams just to see her open her eyes and give him one of those amazing smiles of hers.

"I can not say what that price will be, but I do know it will affect everyone." No one was prepared for what was about to happen, they each had their ideas of the outcome, but when the wish was made…

AN: Hmm...I have a few ideas of what should happen but I think I'll let some of you throw me some ideas and I'll see which one I like best. So give me a few Scenerios!! Thanks and I hope you liked it.
