I'll try to update as soon as I can. Till then here's something.
Chapter 12 Preview:
Exhaustion and worry took control of Kikyou and she supported herself with a tree before slowly collapsing on the ground and burying her face into her palms. She wasn't a woman who gave up and stopped when everything seemed hopeless, she was nevertheless the village's priestess. Still, the fear of losing Kagome made her almost feeble and she knew that she needed this small moment to gather her strenght and calm down, or else she would break down completely in front of the others.
Kagome had to be unharmed. There simply couldn't be any other option - Kikyou repeated those words in her head over and over again till she completely believed in them again. Her sister wasn't very experienced but she was strong and could surprise people when it was came to surviving.
Kikyo sighed softly before standing up and once again continued looking for Kagome in the thick forest. She didn't have time to walk very far though until she had to stop and narrow her eyes at what she was seeing. A woman was coming towards her. Her kimono seemed dirty but Kikyou didn't pay much of attention to it - the woman was her sister, her black hair swinging in the wind.
"Kagome?" Kikyou called out and started walking again, this time faster. She could now see her face more clearly. Unharmed. "Kagome!"
"Onee-san!" Kagome yelled back but when they met the relieved smile disappeared from her face as Kikyou grabbed her shoulders and shook her.
"You fool! You brat! Where have you been?! Do you have any idea how worried... " but she had to stop and bite her lip so that she wouldn't start to cry. "Kagome."
"Onee-san. I am so sorry," Kagome said softly and wrapped her hands around Kikyou's neck, giving her a long hug. "You don't know how good it feels to see you," she whispered into her ear. Kikyou only stayed quiet and squeezed her sister's kimono. She just couldn't answer nor be mad at her at that moment.
