Kagome nodded her head to the ancient miko and thought... and thought, and thought some more. Worrying her bottom lip with her teeth and starting to sweat under the intense gaze of Midoriko, she finally snapped.
"I don't know what to wish for! It's supposed to be a pure wish, but everything I think of can be construed as selfish in some way. I could wish for my friends to all have their happy endings but that would make me happy so that wouldn't work. A truly unselfish wish would probably be helping one of my enemies, I guess but..."
"Kagome," Midoriko started the younger miko out of the beginnings of her tirade. "you're over thinking things. I cannot tell you what to wish for, but I believe that the simplest answer is usually the right one"
At that, Kagome suddenly had an epiphany. Midoriko almost laughed at the comical "Oh!" look that came over the young woman's face.
"That's it! Thank you, Midoriko! It was so obvious. I've been wracking my brain ever since I found out the Jewel needed an unselfish wish and could never find an answer but it was right there the whole time! My whole journey has been about putting the Jewel back together and ridding the world of it so that everything could be the way it was supposed to be." Kagome explained triumphantly.
Nodding, Midoriko smiled. She was proud of the young miko in front of her. She set her hand on the girl's- no, woman's shoulder, honestly but pleasantly surprised that one so young had managed to accomplish so much.
"Now Kagome, since we are not actually in the living realm with the Jewel, you will need to call it to you to make the wish. Use your ability to sense the Jewel and command it. Tell it to come to you. It must be an order with no give behind it, as the Jewel will sense your will to destroy it and will seek to fight you and convince you to reconsider. Do not listen to the pull, order it here and make your wish quickly before it has a chance to try anything" Midoriko explained, trying to convey the gravity of what she was saying. This was incredibly important; if Kagome failed to command the Jewel, it could take control of her spirit and try to force a different wish from her.
Eyes flashing with ferocity, Kagome took a step back. She closed her eyes and reached out for the oh-so-familiar feel of the Jewel. It took a couple moments since she wasn't used to having reach from a different plane of existence but found it quickly enough. Now that it was whole, the pull of the Jewel was stronger than ever and was honestly kind of hard to miss, even from a different plane. Quickly, she "grasped" the Jewel with her will and commanded it with every ounce of her being.
