It felt like she was ripping out her own heart when she pulled her hands away from Shippo's body.
She wished she hadn't froze when she saw the tentacle headed his way. Wished she had forced him to stay with Kaede. Wished she had told him she loved him too.
She wished he wasn't dead.
Something snapped and crackled like lightening beneath her skin, and rage like she had never known it rose up and flooded through the clearing.
Blue eyes narrowed on her kit's killer, and she released her reiki in a form of revenge that had everyone in the clearing flinching at it's magnitude.
