So it turns out it is tiny Inuyasha trapped in the jewel trapped in the meidou.  Weird.

For everyone who thinks Kikyou is going to show up in the jewel, sorry guys, I really think she's done.  I am excited to see if Midoriko is going to show up, though.

Okay, so how did InuYasha get into the Shikon no Tama? He used his Meidou Zangetsuha to follow Kagome… but doesn't that go to Hell? He didn't go through the same Meidou as Kagome… so… I'm confused.

Wait how does this all tie into Naraku's wish? And is Kagome in hell or in the jewel? If she's in the jewel than who's the thing talking to her??? Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh I have like 100 questions and maybe 2 will be answered in the next scan… >.<

Inuyasha: DON'T MAKE A WISH UNTIL WE SEE THE NEXT SCAN KAGOME!!!!!!

Wow…that was extremely enlightening.

I had a sneaking suspicion that there was a definite cycle with the Shikon no Tama. And I would bet that we'll see Midoriko. Perhaps she will give either Inuyasha or Kagome some aid, though I suspect the latter is a more possible expectation. We'll let Inuyasha do what he's good at for a little while to keep busy…kicking ass and cussing all at the same time! That's what I call multi-tasking!

I'm a little annoyed of the 'wait for me until I get there, Kagome!' Whenever he says this something bad usually happens to her…not to imply bad omens or anything…*cough*.

I hope this all ends well, and I have no idea at this point where it will go. I am positive now that there will be a Volume 57. If the battle with Naraku took over five chapters (not including the extra plot twists engrained in the arc, of course), then I'd say that the new villian, Mr. Shiny Purple Orb himself, would have a colossal battle that will leave us in tears. This cannot physically or mentally be done in four chapters…I don't think.

Well, have a great week everybody, and cross your fingers because it's looking good!

P.S. Whenever the Shikon no Sexiness, or 'Sexy no Tama', I feel like laughing and crying at the same time. Provided they continue the anime, he will be hard to cast…or perhaps, have we thought, that it is a she?

Who knows, perhaps Midoriko herself was corrupted, and has been the evil force inside the jewel for hundreds of years…being reincarnated twice…?

Just a theory!

There are two doors here, Neo. Choose one. We know which one you will choose, for this has already happened before. There were already 6 meeko's, er, I mean Neo's before you, and the cycle has always repeated.

"Who knows, perhaps Midoriko herself was corrupted"

A-ha! Sounds like the story of Hakushin and Mount Hakurei will be relevant for the next chapters.

MERRYMISSROO – Inuyasha asked Tetsusaiga to take him to Kagome, and Kagome is practically close to the jewel, if not in it and the jewel is a manifestation.

I'm a little worried now about where this is going, and every week i get more tense about the next chapter.

And what you're saying about a character death – DON'T TELL US THAT!!! WE DON'T WANNA SPOIL THE CHAPTER BY A CHARACTER DEATH, BECAUSE YOU'RE GONNA MAKE US CRY!!! (Well, I guess either way we'll cry, won't we). But if you tell us before, we'll be crying all day and I know I'll be afraid to read said chapter(well, it depends on who the character is…)

RUMIKO! QUIT TORTURING YOUR FANS!!!

I knew it, I knew it. Naraku's last wish was to seperate Kagome and InuYasha forever. With the well gone the connection to kagome's world is broken. The Jewel's plan is to trick kagome into choosing here world over InuYasha and then trap here inside in Shikon no Tama like Midoriko.

However InuYasha is now inside the jewel so that complicates things. I am unsure of what is going to happen but what ever it is it is going to be intense, and on a lighter note I feeling fairly certain that InuYasha and Kagome's feelings for each other are going to be coming out very soon.

The story is reaching it's climax and I can't wait to see what happens. Next Chapter please!!!!!!!!!

Sooo, Naraku wished Kagome to spend eternity in the jewel or something? Maybe I'm missing something. But this was a good chapter! I'm going to run around and rejoyce.

Ooh! I got a new idea thanks to Johnnyboy61887!

Naraku could want to split Inuyasha and Kagome up, and break Inuyasha's heart at the same time? What if the youkai that Inuyasha is battling put out something like Kanna's mirror or something so he could see Kagome make her final wish. And if she wished to go back to her world, Inuyasha would lose hope in getting her back, breaking his promise to her about protecting her with his life, and thus breaking his heart. But if Naraku's plan BACKFIRED, Inuyasha could see Kagome, and she's speaking to herself, about to do, and he hears her say that she loves him.

Wow…you know, that would be a little weird…

Johnnyboy61887…. I really like your theory as well.

So because Naraku couldn't end up with Kikyou, he doesn't want Inuyasha and Kagome to become separated forever? Wow. He really knows to hit where it hurts. Although, he could have tried this a long time ago. 

 Oh poor Kagome. Don't give in to the darkness, girl. Fight!

Correction. He wants them to be separated forever. Ebil Naraku and ebil shikon no tama.

yeah im not sure if im too excited about where this end seems to be heading what about anyone else?

i think i had something totally different envisioned in my mind and this deffinatly aint it.

but i guess i will just have to see where rumiko takes us who knows what she got up her sleave.

oooooh! kagomeeeee! i feel very bad for her. prolly cuz imma chicken and am terrified of the dark. id be freakin out way more than she is right now. that and i hate being alone,i hate big spaces, and the dark only makes it worse.

but i wonder what happened to Midoriko. i know the jewel came out of her body from hr power n stuff. but does that mean she is in the jewel or that she IS the jewel. hmmmm -3- i think it will be revealed soon. rumiko always got somthing round da corner.

OH BUT ITS TRUE! THE STORY IS SOOO AT A CLIMAX!! i mean not like one of the other small fooling climax's that just ened up in them NOT getting a shard and Naraku escapng. NARAKU IS DEAD AND IT ACTUALLY GOT SOMTHING TO DO WITH THE JEWEL! but i agree with you starks. where is that awsome blood and gore that used to be in the manga.  maybe she just doesnt feel the need for it anymore (PFFT!)

AND YA KNOW how come whenever kagome gets hurt. its always just some cut on her arm? its happened countless times and its always such a BIG DEAL! i love kagome but…I REALLY WANNA SEE HER WITH SOME SERIOUS INGURY! ya know?..ehehe i think it would just lead to a bigger Inuxkag moment.

like when he went crazy n turned demon. i wish i woulda done more than just scratch her arm. eheh that makes me sound demented ur somthing. but dont ya see where im comin from?

oooh gawd these few weeks chapters ive just been SO exsited for!! i check all the time to see when there up!

GOO STARKS!! CANT WAIT FOR NEXT CHAP!
