Chapter four
Rin hand shot up to her forehead at feeling an intense burning sensation. Tears began to form in her eyes as the feeling intensified.
"Rin?" Kagome asked seeing the small girl in pain "Rin, are you ok?"
Rin whimpered in pain eyes closed tears still leaking through her closed eyes. Kagome got up from her seat and walked over towards Rin. "Rin are you ok?" Rin shook her head no "What wrong?" Kagome asked
Rin sobbed "My head"
Kagome couldn't see tell if anything was wrong as Rin was covering her head. "Move your hands Rin sweetie" Kagome tried to soothe thing young girl.
Slowly Rin pulled her hands away from her forehead and on the center of her forehead was a dragon. Just like Kagome's there was a red dragon on her forehead. Kagome gasped how was that possible? Kagome hugged Rin close to her trying to soothe her.
"Ryuu!" She yelled as loud as she possibly could
Ryuu was at his mistresses side in a matter of seconds "What is it mistress Kagome?"
Kagome moved Rin's hands away from her head "Look" she said showing him the dragon on Rin's head. Ryuu had much the same reaction as she did. He gasped thinking the same thing as Kagome, how? Once Kagome let go of Rin's hands the went back to try and stop the burning sensation in her head. "Why is it hurting her Ryuu!"
"I..I don't know" Never in all of his thousands of years had this happened. He didn't know what to do or how to soothe the young girls pain. Well there was on way but it involved the young girl dying. "There is only one way I know but the young child would have to die"
Kagome gasped and held Rin close to her, her eyes taking on a red dragon like look "There is no way I will kill her" her voice was not her own but the voice of the dragon within her and Ryuu took notice that it would not or ever harm the child. "There has to be another way"
"I'm sorry my mistress but I know no other way" Ryuu told her regretfully
Rin whimpered in pain again as the burning seemed to increase "Please make it go away" She begged tears becoming and endless stream down her face. Kagome increased her hold on the child and rocked back in forth. The anger from hearing that the only way known to help Rin was to kill her unknowingly brought up her miko powers and something else. Something Ryuu noticed was dragon healing powers it was the equivalent to miko healing powers. Both powers wrapped around the two women and began to pulse with both hearts. Kagome and Rin both froze as they felt the pulsing, there eyes wide opened and blank. The bubble around them began to grow in width and continued to pulse. The power growing as Kagome's dragon powers pulled up Rin's.
Ryuu watched in awe and fear that the power would destroy not only Rin but also Kagome. The power grew and grew until the whole clearing was covered a giant purple bubble. Kagome and Rin right smack in the middle of it.
The rest of the rag tag group and Sesshomaru arrived outside of the clearing after feeling an intense power. Ryuu flew towards the awe stuck people.
Inuyasha was first to speak "What the hell is going on!?" He shouted
Ryuu kept he's eyes on his mistress "I'm not sure..."
"What do you mean your not sure!!" Sango yelled
"Its Rin" Ryuu said
Sesshomaru looked at the dragon "What about Rin" he growled
Ryuu gulped "She carried the mark of the dragon"
"What?" Said Sango and Miroku in unison
"How is that possible?" Miroku asked
Ryuu shook his head "I don't know"
"Well what happened" Asked Sango
"The mark on Rin's head its was burning her I didn't know what to do. The only thing that I knew to do was to kill her" Ryuu said his eyes never leaving the two in the bubble.
"WHAT!" Sesshomaru growled
Ryuu eyes left the two to look at the taiyoukai "Kagome, the dragon in Kagome will not allow harm to come to Rin but did not know what to do and the anger from hearing that was the only known way force her miko and dragon powers out. Rin's dragon power reacted to Kagome and also came forth creating the enormous sphere of power." Ryuu explained
All eyes turned back to the bubble and watched as Kagome and Rin's hair began to whip around there eyes remaining vaccant. Then a white orb flew out of both females and began to dance around them and then flying and whipping around the bubble pf power. Two more orbs flew from the bodies this time blue and began to dance around them and fly around. Then one orb came out of Kagome this orb was pink. All the orbs whipped around the bubble before they merged into one orb and split back but instead of splitting into five lice there were they split into six. Three orbs went to Kagome and three went to Rin the bubble began to surge.
"DUCK!!!" Ryuu yelled as the bubble of power exploded. Inuyasha hurried to cover Sango and Miroku and jumped away from the blast.
The blast was so large everyone in a ten mile radius felt it. It shook the earth like a giant earthquake mixed with the eruption of a volcano. The entire clearing and everything around the clearing was destroyed.
Kagome and Rin laid on the grown the heads face down and Kagome's body sheltering Rin's. Slowly and cautiously everyone approached them but were stopped by a threatening hissing growl from Kagome. Kagome head turned toward them revealing her red eyes her lips were curled into a snarl revealing her fangs.
"Stop don't get any closer!" Ryuu said
"Whats wrong with Kagome" Shippo asked as he looked at his adopted mother
"Kagome and Rin were right in the middle of the blast" Ryuu exlpained "Kagome's dragon most likely took over her body to save them from being destroyed"
"Then why wont it let us near her?" Sango asked as Kagome continues to issue threatening hisses and growles
"Most likely it doesn't recognize" Sesshomaru said
Sango nodded "But why?"
"Kagome was born a dragon mistress her dragon had laid dormant inside her all her life until the dragon moon when it first awakened it does not know anyone of you but Rin" Ryuu said
"Why does it only recognize Rin?" Miroku asked he suspected the answer but he wanted to know for sure.
"Did you see the pink orb that left Kagome?" Ryuu asked Miroku nodded "Then when the orbs merged there was two pink orbs this is because Kagome gave part if herself to Rin"
Inuyasha looked at Ryuu "What?"
"Its an ancient ritual of power sharing in order preserve someone's life" Sesshomaru said
"What does that mean!" Inuyasha demanded
"Can't your hanyou mind understand?" Sesshomaru said
Ryuu huffed "Its means Kagome sees you as a threat to her young" He said annoyed the hanyou could not figure it out by himself
"Shouldn't Sesshomaru be able to approach them though?" Miroku asked
"Why should he be able to!" Said Inuyasha
"He might be able to because Rin sees him as a father so Kagome might not see him as a threat" Ryuu said
Slowly Sesshomaru approached the two, Kagome hisses and growls began to stop as he got closer. She obviously didn't view him as a threat.
