Here is Chapter Three. Please review and enjoy!

Kagome was excited to be speaking to someone other than the jewel. She fired question after question at Kuwabara. He for his part tried to keep up. The others had left the artifact room in search of Genki. Hopefully she would have some answers about the jewel.

Kagome was enjoying her conversation with Kuwabara She had learned that the jewel was currently only ten years into the future from when she had last traveled down the well. She was a little conflicted by this news because it excited her that her family could still be alive but surely by now they had presumed her dead. She couldn't help but ask really there was no point in keeping secretes from him at this point anyway.

"Kuwabara, how far are we from Hurigashi Shrine? Is there still a family living their?" Kuwabara having grown used to hearing kagomes voice as he held the jewel answered as if she was just standing next to him.

"I don't know there are a lot of shrines all over the place. Why ask I thought you were from the warring states era. Was this shrine around back then?"

She sighed knowing he would ask. "No it wasn't. Just a village was there. But my family lives there." She was not disappointed when he had an awkward pause before replying.

"You got trapped in a jewel before you family lived on a shrine that wasn't built yet?"

"It's a long story." Kuwabara at this point had given up standing and sat on the floor in a cross-legged style. Kagome explained her story starting from when she turned 15 to the final battle three years later. Getting trapped in the jewel, hearing Inuyasha only to have him never arrive. Kuwabara was so entrapped in her story. He really wanted to help her out. His code of honor demanded that he find a way to save the damsel in distress.

This was how the team found him again sitting on the floor staring at the jewel with a determined look on his face.

"Kuwabara," Kurama caught his attention. "Genki needs to take a look at the jewel." Kuwabara nodded and spoke back to Kagome

"Kagome I need to give you to a friend Genki for a minute ok." Kagome really did not want him to leave. After all the time she had spent in the jewel she feared being alone. What if he did not come back? After all she had heard Inuyasha once but he faded away and never came back. What If that happened again?

Kuwabara handed over the jewel to Genki then started to explain Kagomes story to the rest of the team. They felt for her as well. To go through all those hardships just to end up alone.

Genki held the jewel feeling the fluttering energy almost like this kagomes that was trapped inside was trembling. "Calm down girl." She told the jewel. "I'll have you back to your friend soon." Genki wasn't sure if she could be heard like Kuwabara she with her words she sent her own calming aura to the jewel. The trembling faded a bit and Genki went on with her study of the jewel.

Kagome's worried faded a bit as a mumbling was heard. Accompanied by a calling aura. This Genki must be trying to calm her down in her own way. Kagome reigned in her own fear and waited to be returned to Kuwabara.

Genki looked back up at the team. "There is defiantly a person trapped inside. Her Ki is that of a Miko. Here Kuwabara her energy is nervous she seems calmer when in your presence." She handed him back the jewel.

"So… why not just make a wish for her to come out? That's what her story said right this jewel grants wishes." Yusuke asked

"Yes but she also said that the jewel will twist any selfish wish to its own gain. And obviously it doesn't want to let Kagome go." Kurama stated.

"That's pointless then" Hiei pointed out. "All wishes are selfish, that's why there wishes in the first place."

"It does seem like it. Genki how did you get the jewel in the first place?" Kurama asked.

Genki looked over at Kurama and answered very simply "A friend from Higurashi shrine gave it to me. Apparently he had no one on his shrine that could protect it. At least that's what he said. He was very reluctant to let it go at first."

"Higurashi?" Kuwabara asked and Genki nodded. "That's where she said her family lived on this side of the well."

"Yeah well, we know where's she's from and how she got their now we just need to find a way to get he r back out right." Surmised Yusuke as he opened up his communicator. "Let's see if the toddler has any ideas"

Kuwabara relayed their conversation to Kagome. Kagome was silent for a while before tearfully replying. There could be an end to this hell she was in. She might be free again.

"You mean you're going to help me?" Kuwabara smiled a bit and gave a little hug to the jewel hoping she could feel his intent to comfort her.

"Of course were going to help you. It's what we do."
