Kagome groaned as she opened her eyes and looked around.

'Where am I? The last thing I remember is Naraku pulling me with him over the cliff and losing my strength to fight against the rapids.'

Kagome thought to herself as she saw she was lying in a field of wildflowers and the wind was softly blowing her hair about her face.

"It's good to see you're finally awake."

A voice from her left said and Kagome turned to see a young woman in a priestess outfit with armor over it. She had black hair to her waist like Kagome used to.

"M-Midoriko?"

Kagome asked and the young priestess nodded.

"Hai. You have done well Kagome."

Midoriko said and Kagome just stared at her.

"Where am I?"

Kagome asked and Midoriko laughed.

"You are inside the Jewel of Four Souls. You killing Naraku has purified it and the world within. You can now make whatever wish you desire."

Midoriko said and Kagome frowned.

"Am I dead Midoriko?"

Kagome asked and she shook her head.

"No, I pulled you out of the rapids and you are unconscious on the riverbank."

Midoriko said and Kagome nodded.

"What is your wish?"

Midoriko asked and Kagome thought about it. A selfish wish would corrupt the jewel, but a selfless wish would make it disappear. But was there truly such a thing as a selfless wish? Then Kagome smiled as she realized something she could wish for that would be selfless.

"I wish…."

Kagome said and Midoriko looked at her expectantly.

"I wish that everyone, human, youkai, and hanyou, could all learn to live in harmony with one another and that everyone can live happily."

Kagome said and Midoriko smiled at her.

"That is indeed a selfless wish."

She said before Kagome was surrounded by a bright light and she had to sheild her eyes.

"Thank you Kagome."

She heard Midoriko's voice before she woke up on the riverside.

Kagome looked around and could tell that everyone was gone.

'Why did they leave?'

She wondered as she got to her feet and started to head home.

'Think about it. You fell and no one could catch you, and there were jagged rocks at the bottom as well as the rapids we were almost lost to. Wouldn't you have thought the worst if someone else had fallen over?'

Kagome's beast asked and she understood what she was saying.

'In that case I suggest we get back home soon.'

Kagome said and her beast nodded in agreement as Kagome sped up and ran at full speed back towards her home.

"Are you certain? Did you not stay to find out?"

Cyan asked and Sesshomaru simply shook his head. He knew her parents wouldn't take the news very well, but he himself was having trouble dealing with the reality that he had lost Kagome. He'd finally found someone worthy of being his mate, someone he could love and he lost them. Yes, Sesshomaru had no doubts in his mind that he did indeed love Kagome, but now it was too late to tell her.

"I am sorry."

Sesshomaru said before bowing to them and leaving for his room. He'd stay for the funeral they had planned though they had no body to bury, then he and Rin would leave. Shippo would stay to comfort Cyan and Theron. Inuyasha had gone back to the village of Edo to tell a priestess named Kaede of her sister's fate. The monk and demon slayer left for her village along with the young boy named Kohaku and the fire neko. They said they would marry since the curse had been lifted from his hand.

'Miss mate.'

Sesshomaru's beast said as he reached the room he'd been staying in.

'Hai, but there is nothing we can do about it. She is gone.'

Sesshomaru said back as he fell onto his bed, not even bother to strip down for the night. Lord Sesshomaru was broken, and the only one who could help heal him was dead.
