The Treasured Soul

by FallenxAngel321

The story of a miko who believes she has lost her soul and the youkai lord who doesn't understand why she believes so, because he knows for a fact that she has it. And it is utterly, infuriatingly confusing that his curiosity won't leave it alone- leave her alone. Yes, only his curiosity. What else could it be. Set after Naraku's defeat. Told in 100 words chapters.

25. Manabu, the Takayoukai

Note: words in italic are thoughts.

Note: according to Google, "taka" means hawk in Japanese.

"Eek!" she yelped as she barely dodged an attack. She looked up and saw the walls. Just a few more steps! She picked herself up and started sprinting faster.

"You cannot escape me, Kagome."

A gust of wind and a shadow fell over her and Kagome glanced back, afraid of what she might see.

A demonic hawk loomed over her and screeched triumphantly.

It beat its wings and Kagome shielded herself against the dust.

"I never lose sight of my prey." It crowed.

"M-Manabu-san?" Kagome stuttered.

The taka-youkai launched into the air.

It screeched again.

And it started to dive.
