She tried to ignore it.
That voice that told her she's missing something.
The part of her mind that urged her to inhale, to breathe. To fill her lungs with the something she's missing.
As the earth fell apart around them, Sesshomaru's grasp on her tight as he descended, she tried to ignore the urge to open her mouth. Gasp to relieve the air hunger.
She couldn't.
She wouldn't.
But as her chest began to spasm, a horrifying realization struck her, followed closely by true terror.
Her traitorous body would make a deadly decision.
And she'd be powerless to stop it.
