Blood

Kagome looked around her surrounding with a somber expression. So many people dead; over what? A small fragment of a jewel and its false promise of power. She hated it the feeling of being so useless of not being able to save anyone. Her nails dug into her palms deep enough to draw blood.

"I want to prevent this!" she cried eyes clenched tears budding at the corners of her lids. Then she felt it, the world come to a complete stand still a foreign power pulsing inside of her. Her eyes snapped open she watched as the demon she just killed regains her life and in slow motion she watched as every villager that was slain be brought back.

She felt the jewel shard in her hand disappear. Her eyes went back to the demon watching it retreat into the forest. Her eyes turn to the villagers seeing their panic expression shift back to one of minor everyday life.

She felt the power pulse inside once again stronger than before. The village came back to life as time set itself right. Kagome gazed around the village in horrid fascination. She brought them back. She felt bile climb up her throat before she quickly stops it before she could throw up. Grabbing her bow and arrow she speeds walk not to alarm any of the villagers of incoming danger.

Once she hits the outskirts of the village, she rushes towards the pull of the jewel. She draws her bow and arrow and prepares to fire once she reaches the clearing only to suck in a breath at the sight before her. She watches the demon cradle a small child a hanyo the blood, around the demon makes her sick because she knows where all that blood came from.

She takes a step forward waiting for the demon to take notice yet she doesn't. The moment she steps on the blood on the floor she feels time shift again rewinding further back. She sees the demoness gently place down the child and rush backwards further into the forest. Kagome feels her stomach twist itself was she watches the blood seep back into the child than a whimper escapes her lips as she watches young hunters from the village kill the young child.

The moment she sees the weapon go back from its first strike, she lets her self-cry. "He was only a child!" she cried rushing forward embracing the child as she felt time start to play itself. A whimper leaves her mouth as she feels the weapons penetrate her back. A howl leaves the child's mouth and thundering roar answers back.
