      One year has passed since the downfall of Naraku, yet things have not gone as the InuTachi have predicted. In being trapped inside the Shikon Jewel along with Kagome’s soul, Naraku did not place as much faith in the young Miko wishing selfishly. Poisoned with his Miasma, the Jewel of Four souls, in its conflict, granted Naraku’s cunning wish. The small light the Kagome had left behind upon finding her way out of the Jewel, as Kikyo had done, had provided little relief for the dark cloud that has now settled on the world.
And Naraku’s wish, you ask? His true wish had not been to stay by Kikyo’s side, having a simple, base lust for the deceased priestess. The grudging souls that had been vanquished by Inuyasha and the group have been revived, stronger than ever. Naraku is no longer alive, suffering death from Kagome’s purifying arrow, though the region can feel the blanket of hate that has settled upon the land. Demons arrive in their droves, stronger and much more powerful than they once had been. Naraku had wished for the power of the Shikon Jewel to be given to all demons who sacrifice one drop of their blood in his name alone.
Perhaps the most troubling effect of the half-demon’s wish is that it has even had consequences in the future. Demons, which were once in hiding and fearing the power humans held, are no longer afraid. Every decision made affects the link between the future and the past greatly, so much so that the Sengoku Jidai now has an even more troubling danger; mankind. [/size] |
