Chapter 28: Strength
Kagome.
A quiet moan echoed after its owners name into the darkness.
Kagome.
Dull sapphire orbs slowly opened into the dark confines of her unconscious mind. The quiet whisper of her name echoed around her mind as she slowly looked around. Her snow white skin was pale against the darkness as she floated around her subconscious mind. Her naked form trembled in the cold as her eyes tried to focus.
Kagome. The voice whispered once more making the said person's eyes widen.
Her pupils shrunk as the frigid cold turned to scolding hot. She moved cracking her bones and muscles as her body complained of the movements. "Where?"
Strength
Kagome turned in the darkness looking for the voice that spoke to her.
Protect
Her eyes zeroed in on the flicker of light that hid deep in the darkness seeming to beg her to let it free. She crawled towards the light making her muscles tighten in discouragement. The light called her name once more before it flickered in encouragement. Come, it sang.
Kagome stared and watched the light flicker more as she moved towards it as it seemed the pressure from her muscles seemed to double ten fold. Strength Kagome. Her hands pushed against the darkness as she stumbled to her bare feet, taking timid steps towards the flashing light that longed for her.
The light flashed before dimming making Kagome freeze in place. Sesshomaru's pained face flashed in front of her followed by a brilliant picture of a sleep black and silver haired hanyou baby. The heat that covered her skin rushed to her burning mate mark on her forehead. "Sesshomaru." Her voice weakly called as her hands grabbed at the burn trying to get rid of the pain desperately.
Strength. The voice whispered from the dimming light.
Kagome's eyes welled up with tears as she watched the quick flashes of her lovers face come and go in front of her. "I…must be…strong."
Darkness turned to red as the pictures of lover switched to destruction and death. Naraku stood over Sesshomaru's dead body smirking evilly down at the creature under his feet. "NO!" Kagome screamed jumping to her feet rushing towards her dead mate. The dimmed light flashed eating up the picture as Kagome swung at the man above her love. Her mate mark glowed against her bare skin as the heat turned to warmth that rippled across her skin. She turned towards the light that beckoned her closer. Her feet touched the black making it ripple under her as if it were dark water. Her naked, pale body started to grow a pinkish color with every step.
Strength. The voice stated louder as the light flashed glowing brighter.
Kagome paused in her steps as shiver rushed up her spine. "There you are." An evil taunt rolled from the darkness that covered her. She glared as her body turned defensive. Pain gripped her feet as she was suddenly yanked into the cold depths of the dark water that had been walking on. She gasped sucking in air before her head became submerged. Her ankle's burned at the vice grip that tugged her further and further into the water away from the light that called desperately to her.
"No." She said releasing her breath in to the water as her aura wrapped around her. Naraku's face rushed towards her from the depths of darkness opening its mouth wide as if to devour her whole. Her cry echoed through the water as her aura flared pushing at the water that sizzled against her barrier. Pink exploded eating black as it scattered across her subconscious.
Pink
White
You are ready to end this war now child. You have the strength of a demon through your mate mark. You have the strength of the greatest miko. You have the strength to kill the demon that attacks what you love. The white light spoke sweetly as a brilliant picture of Sesshomaru clutching his black and silver haired child to his chest. Both beings golden orbs watching her with held out hands awaiting her to return to them.
Kagome smiled as she outstretched her pink hand to the man she loved and the child she carries. "I will save you." She whispered as her hands were gripped tightly by her family's outstretched hands.
Sesshomaru glared out the window as lightening crashed against his land once more. His demon dogs held the castle from Naraku's creeping grasp. "Sesshomaru?" He sensitive ears heard the whisper of his mate from her bed.
Warmth wrapped around her the second his name slipped through her lips. His lips crashed against hers with need and worry covering his passionate kiss. He slowly pulled away and stared at the newly shaped eyes that blinked up at him. The sapphire that once glowed from her sockets had changed during her quick healing. Her once blue orbs were now pink with black pupils. "What happened to you?" He asked his thumb gently stroking her skin next to her eyes.
She glanced towards the mirror that rested next to her closet taking in the blue crescent moon on her forehead and midnight black hair. She smiled flashing the canine fangs that came out from under her lips. Her new eyes looked back at the male in front of her smiling up towards him. "I'm ready to finish this war." She stated proudly.
