...
For a moment, the world faded away.
No cursed trinket to search for.
No demented half demon to hunt.
No one trying to take her soul.
There was only her.
And eyes that burned as bright as the sun.
Kagome was unable to speak, thoughts failed her.
In that moment she knew she was doomed, whatever he wanted from her, whatever he had planned, would be her total undoing.
Never once had she felt fear in his presence, but she did now.
He was the predator, she the prey, completely ensnared.
Someone screamed her name, and the spell was broken.
