You know what? I actually caught onto that little loophole when I first saw it. Yeah, how DOES the Shikon Jewel get put back together when pieces are still missing? Getting hopeful here again, but I think that after Naraku?s defeated, the ?gang? decides to break up the jewel once and for all so that no one shall ever use it again. :-?
Heh, that sounds pathetic, now all those lil demons can go search for them.
Or maybe, each jewel shard is given to certain protectors and VOILA! A whole new army of do-gooders from the feudal past (led by Inuyasha and Sango and Miroku and etc?) that is passed down through the years with the constant watch of the hanyou and possibly Kagura or Sesshoumaru... and Rin's descendants... and now those people are in Kagome?s time. But some got lost and LOOKIE HERE the quest starts all over again...
*laughs* That was pretty pathetic, if I do say so myself.
BTW, that plot bunny for Naraku being the sole survivor.

OMFG! We
have to get someone to write that story down, I?ll laugh my head off if it was made on a humorous level too.
Any volunteers?
