The Jewel

A Naruto Inuyasha fanfiction

Chapter 3

 

Kagome blinked up at the stars. She tried but sleep eluded her. It was nearly dawn and her brain was tiered. She had a wish in mind finally. Not a wholly unselfish wish because as said before that was impossible but one that would benefit mankind she hoped. She turned on her side once more.

“Miko, why do you not sleep?” Sesshoumaru asked. He was getting irritated with watching the disquieted rest of his temporary companions. He truly wanted to be back at home patrolling his lands once again.

“Too much on my mind I guess.” She laughed a little as she sat up and stretched.

Shesshoumaru would have rolled his eyes if he was given to those sorts of gestures. “Have you thought of a wish yet miko?”

“Actually Sesshoumaru I think I have thought of one, but I'm not sure about it. Do you think you could give me some input that might help?”

He lifted an eyebrow as if slightly surprised to be asked then nodded his head once.

“OK” Kagome began “I've been racking my brain all night and I couldn't come up with any wish that was purely unselfish. I mean who could possibly do that right? So I thought maybe a wish that would benefit all mankind…. or demon kind or whatever just might be pure enough so I thought maybe I could wish for like world peace or something along those lines.” She raised her hand as if to forestall him. “I know, I know it sounds so beauty pageant contestant but. It sounds fairly pure to me what do you think?”

Sesshoumaru stared at her as if she had grown another head `beauty pageant?' He looked down at his ward, still nestled in his lap, to clear his head she looked up at him with wide tired eyes

“I like Lady Kagomes' idea Lord Sesshoumaru peace sounds good. No one would have to die anymore” She sniffled.

He brushed her hair off her forehead and gave her a minute smile that was all in his eyes. Then looked back up at the miko and sighed. `Stupid humans' he thought. “Your wish would not work miko.”

Kagome's face fell. “Why not?” she asked upset “I know it's not wholly unselfish I said that but it's something that could benefit everyone. I thought it was a very good idea.” She glared at Sesshoumaru

They heard Miroku laugh he sat up with Sango and Kohaku.

Kagome turned her glare to him “What?” she nearly shouted. “It was a good idea for kamis sake Miroku you're supposed to be a monk and don't all monks want peace.”

Inuyasha looked down from his tree “Tch Kagomes' right all I want right now is peace it's a good wish.” He leapt out of the tree sat next to her, putting his arm around her.

They herd Koga growl behind them. “Get your hand off my woman. “He bellowed.

“She ain't your woman.” Inuyasha growled

“Both of you stop it” Kagome shouted between them but to tell the truth she was a tiny bit glad for the normalcy of the argument. It lifted her heart a bit made her feel that everything would turn out ok. “We have more important things to discuss.” However she did give each of them a smile and they returned it even if they were shadows of what she had seen them do, but they were at least there and if made her happy to see them.

“Now,” she turned back to Miroku and Sesshoumaru “What's wrong with wishing for peace.”

Miroku spoke first. “Kagome my dear you have to understand that wishing for something like that would greatly limit both the demons and humans. It's in both there natures to fight to conflict with both themselves and each other. Wishing for world peace would be cursing them not helping. We all need conflict to move forward, to create and yes sometimes we even need it to fix what's wrong in society and even within ourselves. Without conflict we cannot grow.”

Sesshoumaru looked at the monk; perhaps not all humans were as stupid as he thought. He gave the monk a slight nod in acknowledgement.

Kagome looked on in thought `would I have limited the entire world by making that wish?' she shrugged her shoulders and looked to Inuyasha he was staring blankly at his toes. Kagome rolled her eyes.

Koga's hand landed on her shoulder “He's right Kagome a world without conflict would not be a good world to live in.”

Inuyasha glowered at Koga.

He slid his hand down her back and off. Kagome gave a slight shiver before Inuyasha picked her up and moved her away from the wolf, then sat down between them still glaring at the annoying wolf demon.

Kagome ignored them and turned her attention back to the monk and demon lord before her.

“Have you guys thought of anything to wish for then?” she asked a bit leery at what Sesshoumoru, the killing machine or Miroku the ultimate hentai would wish for.

They surprised her.

“Instead of wishing for peace miko perhaps you should wish for help to those who are truly in need of it. Instead of taking away their chance to grow and learn give them the assistance they need to get through.” Sesshoumaru spoke.

They all gawked at him.

This time he couldn't help but roll his eyes the urge was just too great `stupid humans'.

Miroku recovered first. “That would work wish for help to aid those who really need it,” he nodded “but I would take it a step further and wish for those deserving of it too. I would not want to have another Naraku turn up and received aid just because he needed it.”

They all nodded.

“So is that what we will wish for, to have help given to those who are worthy and truly in need?” Kagome asked.

Sango looked at her. “That sounds good to me.” She said.

“Tch it's all right with me.” Inuyasha said.

Koga turned to Hakkaku and Ginta. “You guys head home let the others know I'll be there soon.” As they ran off he turned once again to Kagome “Kagome my love that sounds like a plan to me.” He smiled devilishly at her, excited to finally have everything over and to be carrying his love home in his arms.

Kagome cleared her thought not exactly liking the look in the wolf demons eyes.

She turned to Kohaku. “What do you say Kohaku?”

Kohaku shyly looked at the ground feeling that he really didn't deserve a say in any of this but he answered anyway. “I guess it sounds good so yeah.”

His sister rapped and arm around him and ruffled his hair which made the boy smile bashfully.

Kirara walked forward and meowed putting in her two cents.

Shippo followed her and cuddled up in Kagomes' lap “I think it's a great wish Kagome.” He said

“Rin agrees.” Rin said.

“Ok then.” Kagome said hugging the kitsune. She pulled the jewel out from under her shirt. “Do we wish now or should we eat first?” She asked the group.

“Miko make the wish this Sesshoumaru does not have the time to waste hanging around with you.” Sesshoumaru snapped. `Kamis save me from the stupid humans' he thought.

“Alright jees oh high and mightiness.” She plucked the jewel from the jar and wet her lips. “Ok here it goes.” She said nervously. She held the precious stone away from her and closed her eyes and drew a deep breath. “I wish for help for those who are truly in need and worthy of it.”

The moment it was said a bright pink swirling light encompassed the area. The jewel began to crack they could hear it tearing itself apart. It broke into shards but not as many as before some of the shards just disappeared leaving no trace behind. The shards that remained began moving to each of the members of the odd group. They hovered a moment before there wide eyed hosts before plunging deep within their chests and dissolving. Letting the body's absorb them. The ground fell away beneath them and they hovered in the pink light.

Kagome clutched tightly to Shippo and turned wide frightened eyes to the others around her. “Wha...What's going on?” she asked anyone in general.

Sango had her arms wrapped tightly around her brother and Miroku held them both as close as he could. Kirara had transformed and was hovering around them.

Koga and Inuyasha both tried to move toward Kagome but without purchase they were not making very much headway.

Sesshoumaru was practically smothering Rin not wanting to lose his grip on the child `Kamis be damned stupid humans' he thought as he tried to shield his eyes against the light.

A voice spoke that sounded like many in the pink. “My children you have come.”

“Who the hell are you?” Inuyasha shouted.

The many voices that were one chuckled. “My impatient boy, so brave so strong and with such a good heart, I am the jewel of four souls. I have waited a long time for this day my beloveds. I have been anticipating this very moment for such a long time.” The voice spoke as if very relieved.

“Umm…. Excuse me. What is going on?” Kagome asked holding a whimpering Shippo.

“Kagome my dear girl you made the wish. The one you were destined to make the one in which you all will fulfill. Let me start from the beginning.

A very long time ago, before I even came into being, the kamis sat down and looked upon the world's woe. They shed tears for the beings of earth and beyond. They tried many ways to mend the problems of the ones below them the created many paradoxes, many disturbances, by trying to help the ones they loved so but in the end nothing worked, in fact it sometimes made things worse. So the world continued to move on more and more problems arising the kamis fearing intervening anymore. In the end they admitted they needed help so they traveled to other worlds and met other gods and yet the problem was the same for them as well.

Eventually the gods from the other worlds decided to all meet and come up with an ultimate solution. They spent years discussing and quarreling but they could not find a way to stop the evil that spread through their homes without causing great harm to its inhabitance. Until one day they looked down on this very earth and heard a child's prayer. He was begging the Kamis for help with bandits who were robbing his village and killing its people. He cried “Oh great Kamis I know that we learn from our trials and grow from our love but please, please send us help someone to show us the way someone to teach us to defend ourselves better someone to help us defeat what we cannot on our own.” And the gods sighed that was the solution a group of dedicated, honest, courageous individuals who could travel from place to place helping those in need. Then I was thought up I would be created in turmoil on the very earth that the boy prayed I would chose my champions and test them to their limits. Then I would give them the power I have to give and then I would die.

And this children I did. There will be others to join you as you move through the worlds whose strength and determination I have tested from afar. There will many battles to be fought and many hearts to be won. So before I go I have one last gift for you. You all have been given my strength and power, but I also give you the new Jewel immortality. Good luck to you all, and take good care of each other.”

And then there was nothing but darkness.
