Chapter 37: Rescue
The butterfly glided swiftly through the night. He was practically invisible as he flew over the trees. He flew fast, and had a determined gleam in his beady eyes. The princess Kagome was counting on him.
He flapped his wings even harder, knowing he would not collapse from exhaustion. He flew, determined to make the princess proud. He was determined to help her in her quest to help the prince Sesshomaru. For that he would fly. Kikyo had informed them of the cave. Now all he had to do was find it.
From the light of the moon, he saw the mountains and the tiny glimmer of orange light that shone from what looked like a cave.
The butterfly flew faster. Once he swooped inside the cave he slowed until he was hovering over the witch known as Ashikaru. There was a small glass bottle hanging out from her robe.
If the butterfly could smile he would have. He gingerly attached himself to the bottle, and used his front legs to untie the bottle from the string.
Then he flew back to the princess.
"Okay, butterfly. Let's hope this works," Kagome said to the butterfly on her shoulder. She gripped the cork in the bottle and pulled. The light pink mist inside floated out, and glowed brightly before shooting out the window.
In the cave of Ashikaru, Kikyo's body lifted from the ground. As it began to glow with a bright pink light, Ashikaru awoke.
Her eyes widened as her hand flew to her neck where she held the soul of the priestess, "NO!"
Kikyo's body flew from the cave.
Betcha didn't see that one comin'!
