Well I decided to write by reading some old stories on here. If you think I'm an awful writer just don't read this, if you actually like this please tell me so I continue. I'm trying to stick to characters, but I know it'll be a little weird. ALSO I DON'T own InuYasha

Chapter 1: The Wish

Everything was peaceful, a word you never used to often around that time. It seemed as though things could settle, and that the world wasn't causing chaos. This only ever happened after a big war, but could it be... Naraku was finished.

Kagome looked up from her spot at the Sacred Tree. Even now with the complete jewel in hand she couldn't believe they had done it, there was this long lingering feeling that something just wasn't right. She could since a demonic presence to her right, but it wasn't InuYasha, but it also didn't seem to have an ounce of evil around it.

"Kagome." The low voice whispered out making Kagome look over to see the handsome wolf demon: Kouga. (AN: I understand you spell it Koga, I just prefer it this way.)

"Kouga, why are you here?" Kagome questioned as the wolf prince neared her. 'What does he want? I thought the reason he wanted to be around was to complete the jewel?'

"Kagome, love, I was checking on you, I could sense a sorrow in you even though Naraku is gone," Kouga answered. He always wanted to take care of Kagome, he was truly in love with her, even if she didn't want to love him.

"Kouga, you don't need to worry about me," she sighed looking off in the other direction thinking Kouga would leave, but instead he took a seat next to her.

"I do need to worry about you. You are my future mate." Kagome couldn't tell if he was joking or serious, but it made her blush. Kouga was constantly fighting with InuYasha over her, even though InuYasha only ever said she was a jewel finder.

"You understand we'll never be together?" Kagome asked looking him straight in the eye. Sadness over poured the wolf's icy blue eyes. He had heard this many times, but he never would give up, she'd come around eventually.

"I will never stop loving you."

"Why don't you just marry Ayame?"

"She's not my true love you see-" Kouga wanted to explain more, but picked up InuYasha's scent. "Just I won't give up not until you're mine!" With that Kouga was gone, and InuYasha appeared.

"Did I smell a mangy wolf?" Kagome rolled her eyes, she didn't want to be interrupted, she was trying to come up with a wish to make. "Kagome, are you still thinking about that wish?"

"Yes, I want this jewel gone! It has destroyed so many innocent lives. I wish that those innocent lives taken by Naraku and his deceptions be given back." Kagome began crying, and didn't notice that she was turning purple and beginning to float.

"Kagome..." InuYasha watched in amazement as the young miko floated in the air oblivious to what was truly happening.

"Kagome is that truly your wish?" asked Midoriko. She was a ghostly figure with a tint of pink to her as floated in front of Kagome's purple lit body.

"I think so." Kagome swallowed hard not knowing what this would bring upon them.

"As you wish, but this won't truly destroy the Shikon no Tama as everyone believes. The jewel will actually become a part of your heart, no one will since it around, because you will be the undetected jewel. You will still have the power." Kagome looked in bewilderment. She had always been told with the wish the jewel would be destroyed. "Also Kagome if you remember it's the jewel that ties your worlds, with out it embedded in you, you'd have to choose a world." With that she was gone and Kagome was unconscious on the forest ground. InuYasha quickly helped back to the village needing to know what was happening.

"Kaede! Help!" he busted into the small hut and the older woman was quite frightened, but then she saw the limp miko in his arms.

"Ye made the wish?" The old priestess had sensed the wave of life.

"Um well she was crying and..." He explained the forest scene, and Kaede took to caring for Kagome.

"It seems as though that was the new wave of life then not a child." Kaede whispered laying a warm rag on the miko's forehead.

"What..." InuYasha looked to the now opened door to see... "Kikyo?"

"InuYasha!" she cried hugging the half- demon. Kaede watched the scene before her, thinking of the heart break it would send the powerful girl that she was tending to. She knew it could possibly send Kagome home for good.

…...

"Sango did you feel that?" Miroku asked. They were in Sango's village with Kohaku wondering if the village could ever be restored.

"You didn't touch-"

"No Sango it was a feeling of new life..."

"Monk what are you talking about?" Kohaku hated eating lunch with the two of them. Either they were on decent terms and having somewhat decent conversations, or Sango was ready to kill the monk for a simple touch to her bottom.

"It's just something weird is up." Miroku shook the thought away 'Could Kagome of used the wish? But she said she'd talk to them first...'

…...

"Kouga you're back!"Hakkaku cried out as he a Ginta sprinted to their leader.

"I told you I'd be back soon I was going to see my love!" Kouga growled at the idiots before him.

"But when you see Lady Kagome it takes forever usually-"That earned Ginta a knock to the head.

"Wolves?" Kouga muttered smelling an overcoming sent of his pack to the west. "Did men leave out with out me knowing?!" Kouga demanded to know.

"No!" Hakkaku answered. Kouga left immediately to find 50 or so of his men running in from the west, and then he noticed these weren't any wolves these were ones killed by Kagura.

"How?" Kouga asked himself. 'Did Kagome use the wish?'

…...

Kagome slowly opened her eyes to see Kaede fussing over a stew.

"Kaede how long have I been out?" Kaede was shocked by the voice and was immediately at the young miko's side.

"Around five days, young one, you used a lot of power in that wish."

"So it worked?" Kagome muttered sitting up slowly. "Where's InuYasha?"

"Well- he's- umm," Kaede didn't want to be the one to break her heart. For the past few days InuYasha and Kikyo had completely forgotten about the girl who brought them to each other. She really had thought after these three years that InuYasha would've pick Kagome over her sister, but alas he never had truly loved Kagome after all.

"I understand, but Kaede can you please let-"

"KAGOME!" Into Kagome's lap was a little fox kitsune.

"Shippo!" Kagome smiled at the little fox holding him close to her.

"I stayed by your side the whole time, I want to stay with you even if my real parents are alive." Shippo had always looked at Kagome as his mom and never wanted to give that up.

"Well Shippo I need to go home for a little while." It broke her heart to tell him that, but she needed to see her family and get away from the feeling of heart break herself. She realized during her days of dreams that Kikyo was back, and that InuYasha could never be hers.

"That's okay I'll just stay with Kaede while you go." Shippo smiled. He wanted Kagome to be happy and knew she wouldn't be watching the half demon and revived priestess.

"I love you guys but I'm going to head out." Kagome gathered her things and ran to the well with tears filling her dark brown eyes. She didn't look back and hopped in the well.

…...

Shortly after Kagome left Shippo saw a mini tornado headed his way and he knew it could only be one person or well demon.

"Kouga?" The fox demon asked when the wolf got to him.

"Hey little guy where's Kagome?" Kouga knew Kagome had a connection to the fox and made sure to treat the kid well.

"You just missed her," Shippo sighed.

"Wait she left with mutt face didn't she, my love is gone forever!" Kouga growled over thinking the situation.

"Stupid wolf Kagome just went home for a bit."

"Home?" Kouga always assumed her home was in that village.

"Uh I'll let Kagome explain it one day." Shippo didn't want to give away Kagome's home if she didn't want him to. Even if he knew Kouga loved Kagome with all his heart he knew Kagome didn't know her feelings.

"How long will she be?"

"She didn't really say, she just needed to escape for a bit and feel normal again." Night was beginning to fall and Shippo had started a fire which he was sitting close to as the wolf demon stood over him.

"Thanks kid you know always protect her, she may not accept my love, but I care about her with all my heart, and I know you feel the same, so keep you're mom safe." With that Kouga was gone and Shippo thought about the idea of Kagome falling for Kouga, 'would Kouga think of me as a son?'

"Kagome open your eyes and let him in," Shippo sighed a loud.
