A/N: Hi guys! Enjoy!

Chapter One

Filthy, but victorious, Kagome smiled brilliantly at her mate-to-be. They had defeated Naraku and his lackey's. It was finally over.

Giddy, she latched onto Sesshomaru, squeezing tightly and smiled his light hold. Victorious cries rang all around them, everyone just as excited as she was. "Finally."

The Taiyoukai nuzzled his nose into her hair. Disengaging for a moment, he pressed the rest of the Shikon Jewel into her hand, closing his fingers around hers. "You did well, Miko."

She smiled and reached for her necklace, where she kept their shards. Their group formed a loose circle, watching as the finished jewel shone brightly in her palm. Kagome sought out Inuyasha's familiar face, a silent conversation passing between them.

The wish had to be hers. There was no other way.

Blue eyes closed and Kagome raised the jewel to her face. "I wish that the Shikon No Tama would cease to exist."

At her words, the air pulsed around them in waves of pure power. Sesshomaru's arm tightened around her as the jewel lifted in her palm and began to shine bright, white light.

The Miko was not prepared for the jewel to race towards her, faster than the eye could see. Kagome gave a pained gasp as the small bulb buried itself in her chest. Oblivious to the yells of her companions, Kagome could only focus on the blinding pain as she was also enveloped in light.

The white light faded and she was gone.

The haunting, pained howls of two inuyoukai were heard for miles around.
