A/N: For the sake of the story and so I can have free reign, the soul that escapes from the jewel has already and has been dealt with a couple of months before the story starts. I'm not sure I will follow the anime or anything.

Chapter 1: Strange occurrences
'Ok, this is getting really weird...'
It was starting to happen more and more. The jewel shards were crying to her, crying to her, as in a real voice in her head. The tainted ones were even louder. How was she supposed to concentrate on the battle when she couldn't hear over them?
And now this.
It was the middle of the night, and all the member of her little family was asleep. She, however, couldn't at all. Not with the voices...
'I think I'm going crazy...' she held the small glass bottle in her hand and stared at it. She had, moments before, put the bottle down a foot or so away from her. It helped quiet the voices. However, seconds later she felt a bump against her leg. Looking down, she was shocked to find the bottle nearly pressing against her leg.
'How in the world..?' she set the bottle down again and scooted back a few feet.
'No way... this can't be possible.' She watched, completely amazed as the bottle seemed to be pulled to her, moving with a mind of its own until it was pushing against her knee again.
'No way.' In the morning she was going to tell the group; Kagome just couldn't figure this out on her own.

Kagome slept little that night, but she was up anyways when the rest of her family was waking up.
'How do I tell them this? Hey guys! So the jewel talks to me and follows me around like a puppy. Who wants breakfast? Yah that would go over so well...' Deciding to just jump straight into it, she called the attention of the group.
Once they were all seated she started, "Ok, so I have been keeping a small secret but last night, I decided I couldn't keep it anymore." She paused for a moment, hesitating.
"Please, Lady Kagome," Miroku encouraged, "Tell us what is bothering you."
Kagome smiled thanks and continued, "Since Magatsuhi was destroyed, the jewel, well... the jewel has been crying to me." She stopped to gauge their reaction.
"Watcha mean, Kagome?" Shippou voiced when no one asked.
"I mean that I can hear the souls in the jewel shards. I know it sounds crazy but it is true... I didn't think it was a big deal until last night."
Sango moved from her place to sit next to her sister and put an arm around the fidgeting miko. "What happened last night?"
"This." The miko stated. She got up and placed the shards on the ground then scooted away like she did last night. And like the night before, the shards moved with a mind of its own until in pushed against her knee.
"What the hell?" Inuyasha voice everyone's thought. "How the hell is it doing that?" He crouched next to Kagome and picked up the bottle.
His eyes widened slightly, "I can feel it pushing against my hand." He looked up at the futuristic miko, "like it wants to be with you."
