Nonsense
 
 
 
"Please! Pierce the jewel!" The arrow arced toward the blackened gem; everybody held their breath.

Light sparkled. Air swirled.

Kagome gaped. `Did I do it?!'

When the wind died down, Naraku's severed head floated above the well... below it sat the jewel. Skewered neatly on her arrow.

No way.

No. Freakin'. Way.

"Hmph," Naraku chuckled. "At that time... I made a wish... on the jewel..."

"Okay, hold on a second!"

The dramatic music came to a scratching halt. Naraku's mouth shut with a click, his eyes narrowing dangerously at the hanyou who dared interrupt his last words.

"What the hell is this?!" InuYasha motioned toward the shish-ka-bobbed jewel. "We spend 500 freakin' chapters putting this thing together after it's broken by an arrow or a crow's foot or who the hell knows what. We go through all this drama and death and destruction and in the end the answer is that Naraku's all whiny because his wish never got granted? And so... Kagome skewers the jewel and everything's all hunky-dory?"

"Oh no," Naraku reassured him, "There's still a bit of drama to go."

InuYasha waved. "I don't care. The jewel. Is... is just sitting there. On the arrow. WHY? HOW?! Is it supposed to be some symbolic thing? Does anybody get the feeling that the powers that be have no clue what they're doing?"

"Hey, can we get back to things? I need to die here," Naraku said irritably.

"Whatever. I'm sick of trying to make sense of this."
