~A Match of Two Souls~

oO-Pulling Back-Oo

Kagome shot up from her bed when she felt a tugging sensation.

'Something's wrong,' minty eyes narrowed. She closed her eyes and concentrated on the link she had to the bracelets she made for the three girls. The link to Umi and Fuu were still strong, but the link she had to Hikaru worried her the most. The connection to her cousin wavered and flickered as if she was teetering between life and death.

'Not on my watch!' Kagome sat cross-legged and brought her reiki to the surface. Focusing the energy into the connection she had with Hikaru, she pulled on it.

Delving deeper into the link, Kagome sensed something else tethered to Hikaru's soul, something faint and on the edge of death itself draining her life force. With a growl, Kagome forced more of her own energy into the connection and formed a barrier around Hikaru's soul as strong as she could make it.

She felt the Other trying to break through the barrier, trying to get to Hikaru. With an annoyed grunt, she pulsed her energy at the Other, pushing it away. But the Other wouldn't be deterred.

It took two more lashings from Kagome's reiki for the Other to finally stay away from Hikaru and fade away.

With the glow receding from her body, the ravenette fell back onto her bed. "Seriously," Kagome panted, "When I find out who dragged these girls into situations like this, thy'd better watch out! Do they know how tiring this is?!"
