Six
...bewitched…
It hurt. It was an overwhelming feeling, twisting, devastating. Waves of nothingness passed through her body, taking her light, her power. It perused her mind, searching for the slightest taint, to connect with and overcome her.
She hadn't succumbed yet.
If she hadn't met Sesshomaru, perhaps she would never have come to realization. Then only dark part of her heart, her secret envy of Inuyasha's love for Kikyo, would then have expanded into the rest of her being.
Did that mean she was no longer jealous? So it was true.
She grasped this comforting thought like a drowning child's last straw, flooded by Magatsuhi's dark aura. She must have felt what Midoriko felt, when she fought the evil spirit in unrelenting darkness.
What caused her to cast away her envy? Inuyasha and Kikyo had mutual love. Kagome was lonely, unloved. Or was she?
The moment she had realized the reason of her heart ache, she had felt freedom, felt elation.
Why? And why had this thought come to her when tending to Sesshomaru?
Euphoria once again pumped through her veins, freeing her consciousness to return to her body. Chocolate eyes snapped open, dazed by the scene before her.
He gazed down at her, unreadable gold eyes filled with unmistakable concern. His aura illuminated the blood soaked earth. A god. A silver moonbeam god. But his aura shone brighter than the sun.
Could Sesshomaru be the one she loved all along?
