Chapter 7
Sorry for the long wait, just had a bit of writers block. This is kinda short, so, bear with me.
Chapter 7
Sango awoke to a hanyou's loud shout of panic.
Now, she was used to the temperamental half-demon's mood swings, but he had never yelled like this. Unless, of course, it involved a certain black-haired miko.
Her head started to pound and she gave an unconscious groan of pain. Memories flooded her then, both painful and unwelcomed. A horrifically loud roar. The trembling of the earth. A giant bear yokai; probably the parent of the younger bear demon they killed earlier that day.
One memory came to her clearer than the rest though, the memory of her best friend standing alone against a demon that she – a fully trained demon slayer – would have had difficulty slaying.
She was actually afraid to open her eyes then, Inuyasha's shout of panic had told her all she needed to hear. Something terrible had befallen Kagome, and she couldn't take the loss of anyone else she cared for.
She opened her eyes, only to find that she was staring up at a cloudless blue sky, the smell of the earth overpowering everything else. Her head still hurt, so she slowly rolled onto her side to assess the damage, her panic rising when she heard Inuyasha shout for Kagome once more.
The first thing she saw was Kirara, the cat demon had awoke and was fully transformed and standing in front of her protectively, making sure that the threat was gone before nuzzling her master's leg in a comforting manner.
"Kirara," Sango whispered, moving her hand up so she could pet the neko's side. "It's alright, calm down."
Kirara physically relaxed as a result from Sango's reassuring words, and turned once again into a small two-tailed kitten. Now Sango could see beyond Kirara, and she gasped at the sight in front of her. The pure white bear yokai's body was now lying on the hard earth, its head quite a few feet away from its body. It was sprawled out in a pool of its own blood, clearly dead, and expertly slain.
I was sure that Kagome was the only one of us left standing, thought Sango, but how did Kagome do this? She only then noticed the absence of her hiraikotsu, which she was sure, had fallen with her once she lost consciousness.
She propped herself up so that she was leaning forward with her elbows on the ground behind her, surveying the land trying to locate her beloved weapon.
As soon she tried to get up on her own, Kirara made a low growling noise in the back of her throat, and transformed once more to act as a crutch for Sango. This of course, caught the now frantic Inuyasha's attention.
He wheeled around to look at her, and she saw full blown panic and worry in his eyes. "Inuyasha?" she questioned. She then motioned to the dead yokai. "Who –"
"Kagome." He answered gruffly, obviously trying not to let his emotions control him. "I woke up and she was fighting it with your hiraikotsu." He roughly pointed to the discarded boomerang over to his left. "She had it glowing with some sort of miko power. It sliced clean through the bear's head." Sango opened her mouth to ask another question, but Inuyasha started to talk again.
"D*mnit!" he yelled. His fists clenched and his eyes alight with hatred. Hatred for what she didn't know. "If only I had been stronger, I could have stopped her form using all of her energy, and –"he stopped abruptly. She now knew that the hatred in his eyes was towards himself. But now there was something else in his eyes, something more unidentifiable. "D*mnit!"He yelled again. He bent down and punched the ground, furious at himself and the world for once again letting Kagome slip through his fingers.
Sango put a comforting hand on his shoulder. "Inuyasha," she said calmly. "We can get through this, but I need to know, where is Kagome now?" He lifted his head and looked up at her. She saw sadness in his eyes, and that unreadable emotion.
"She's gone." He whispered, sounding defeated. "She disappeared into thin air."
Sango had no response for that.
So, I guess that it wasn't that short, but still. I know it wasn't very good, so go easy on it.
So I feel that Sango is overlooked a lot, even though I didn't like her that much when they first introduced her, she grew on me.
I'm not that comfortable with swearing, even though Inuyasha does do it a lot, so if there are ever swears they are going to look like that.
There is no review limit on this, so review all you want, I'll update sometime in the next week, I promise.
So,
REVIEW! O.o
