Just a short disclaimer: I do not own thing 1. Or thing 2.
"She's gonna be okay. She's gonna be okay. She's gonna be okay."
Chanting those words over and over, Damia quickly ran through a mental check-list.
Heart beating, yes.
Breathing, yes.
Eyes, glassy and dilated.
Skin color, pale and rapidly cooling.
Pinching the ends of Nariel's fingers, she noticed it took longer than normal for the color to return indicating a slowed blood flow.
Turing wide eyes to the sky, the forest, she vaguely realized she was searching for someone.
"Oi, woman."
At Inuyasha's hoarse voice she turned her attention to him.
"Yeah?"
"Rin is gonna be fine, but whatever that smell is it's on your friend too. It's different because it's only half, so she's got the worse part. Kagome was saying something about how your friend and Rin shared a connection to save her from the darkness, so now that the darkness is leaving Rin the only place left to go is-"
"Nariel."
Placing his hand over his nose, he slowly got to his feet.
"The smell is so strong that Sesshomaru can't get close. I'm only a half-demon and I can't stand it. So, I can't help you."
Damia swore as the feeling of helplessness set in. Tears started to gather at the corners of her eyes as she struggled to control herself.
"Thank you, Inuyasha. Sesshomaru is probably freaking out, so go tell him that Rin will be fine and . . . and everything is gonna be okay."
For half a second he looked like he was about to protest, but he quickly shut his mouth. Nodding once, he sprinted towards the river.
Returning her attention to sister, she made herself comfortable on the ground and moved Nariel's head into her lap. She could no longer see clearly as her eyes were swimming in tears. Gently stroking her hair back she softly started to sing.
"Watasha hana ka? Chouchou ka oni ka?
Aware mi mo yo mo, araryou mono ka?
Beni no kawari ni, sasu o wa yaiba ja.
Tanto homete kudashans?"
Clearing her throat, she continued.
"Watasha saku hana, saite ureshi ya.
Aware itsuka wa, chiriyuku mo hana.
En wa kireru ga, ano ko wa kirenu.
Kirerya jigoku ga fueteyuku.
Watasha karehana, oni no tsubomi ja .
Tomete tomaranu, irozuku chiiro ja.
Beni mo ano ko mo ,washi ni wa iranu.
Itsuka, tsubomi ni modoryanse."
Wiping at the tears that rolled down her cheek Damia cracked a smile.
"You remember when we first heard that song? Otome Youkai Zakuro. We immediately memorized it, and that became our favorite song. We even made our own version of it. Do you remember?"
"Gods, Damia?"
Lifting her head at the sound of a voice she immediately recognized the boomerang-wielding demon slayer and the perverted monk standing behind her.
"Oh, Sango. Miroku. I think she's dying. And it's the first time it's happening but, I don't know what to do. Hey, tell me what to do okay? Please?"
