Golden eyes locked on her and even though they were in the middle of war with the Spider, even though the Taijiya yelled at her to watch out for a piece of miasma laden flesh headed her way, she stopped and let the arrow loose without aiming. Its pink light sizzled out by her feet and she knew that InuYasha, Red as she'd lately started calling him in her mind, would give her one chance to purify the Spider and his Jewel, to make the Jewel her's again.
She felt her long bow slip through her fingers, it fell right next her arrow and she nodded. The youkai flesh the Taijiya warned her about screeched as it turned to ashes, slamming into a barrier she'd unconsciously put up. Oddly calm for someone surrounded by creatures out to kill her, she bend down and picked up her bow and then she and Red ran to the Spider.
One, two, three arrows she shot at Spider before realizing her quiver was empty. She dropped her bow again. This time intentionally.
Four, five, six times Silver attacked Spider with his new sword before noticing the miko-ki she was dangerously pouring into her finger tips.
Seven, eight and ni-no, only eight-did Red attack Spider before he was thrown away.
Nine, Spider's tentacle buried deep in her body and he pulled her to his face so that he could watch as the light left her eyes.
Ten, she drove her fingers into his chest and wrapped them around the Jewel, purifying the two of them. The whole of Spider's body, the very thing they were in, disappeared in a pink light and she was falling through the air. She felt it a good feeling, this weightlessness and was about to close her eyes before she saw the cursed Jewel falling with her. Not knowing why, she grabbed for it and it shot at her heart and the glowing hexagram her mother had she named for came again over her heart and she was engulfed by its yellow light. She felt the ground hit her on the left but there was no pain.
