Always My Soul

Kee had been more then prepared to die in this battle against Ferlias. She had always been ready to fight with even her last breath in this body if need asked for it. She was unconcerned that it was not her body that it was not her life to sacrifice for the greater good. These thoughts had never once plagued her. It had also never occurred to her that it might be someone else's life that was sacrificed.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kee was sent stumbling back by a backhand from Ferlias, her eyes clouded with pain. Her body was a nimbus of agony and exhaustion. Between the physical fighting with Ferlias and the spiritual fight with the others to remain a single being within her she was in a state of continuous drain. When her sight cleared she was witness to the most devastating event of her existence.
Sango, not more then three feet behind Ferlias, sent Hiraikotsu straight for the youkai's head. Ferlias did not even turn. With one hand he caught the bone boomerang, then he thrust his enormous sword backwards and caught Sango through her stomach. Sango's eyes went round in surprise, her hands going to the blade.
"NO!" Kee screamed in negation.
Inside of her a deafening uproar went up a call of horror and rage. Kee was swept up in it and felt Kagome's powers rise with this rush of malice and unbearable grief. Kee allowed it to consume her and her eyes hazed with red.
Ferlias pulled the blade from Sango's body with a negligent tug. First Sango went to her knee's her eyes on Kee who felt her dieing thoughts rip into her soul like claws. Her body toppled slowly to the ground without resistance. Still Sango held her eyes, Kee refused to look away.
~ So this is death...where is Kagome? ~
Her consciousness began to slip from the weaving of their minds.
~Hold her! ~ Kee ordered the others with desperation ~ Do not permit her to leave us! ~
Inuyasha and Miroku stepped forward as separate entities to hold Sango as tightly as they could within the confines of Kee's mind.
Kee ripped her eyes away from Sango's body and gazed upon the waiting Ferlias.
"What will you do dark miko? Your powers do not encompass healing her; you can do nothing but hold her soul for the short time it takes her body to die. Why do you care at all? I seem to recall you never stepped forward for one such as her. You were never really the friendly type. Why does it matter to you that you would blend with a hanyou? I can see it in your eyes, the blood of that hanyou is rising with your anger, and you welcome it for its strength. And to what end really? I will kill them...I will kill you without touching you. That little miko you inhabit...she is nothing really...an incomplete soul lost and wandering. Do you imagine that I did not plan for you to come forward? Did you imagine Yensa was not employed to destroy the previous incarnations? Did you really think it was a coincidence that YOU of all the mikos was drawn forth?"
"What are you talking about?" She snapped as she scanned for openings to destroy him, she wanted his blood on her hands she wanted revenge.
Ferlias shook his head clucking his tongue, "You never were one to think ahead Kee. You are so very stubborn, understanding deep plans was never your strong point."
Kee ignored his words as more anger built, Sango was slipping further and further away. Inuyasha and Miroku were unable to hold on for much longer. She closed her eyes momentarily and called on the powers that were not hers to use. Miroku screamed at her to stop but she refused to listen. She would destroy Ferlias one-way or the other there was no alternative.
Even in her anger Kee was aware that Ferlias put his hand into the front of his robe, pulling out a small object, which he looked down upon fondly. Ferlias then turned the object towards Kee who found her self looking into Yensa's mirror.
"It has been a...unique meeting dark miko but I tire of you. Let us bring out this age's bright hope shall we...I have so longed to meet this Kagome...I have so longed to crush her beating heart in my fist" Ferlias snarled.
From the mirror rushed the familiar black/green wash of magic. The combined miko energy rushed forward of its own accord to defend her and Kee opened herself to the fiery pain that came with it.
~No~
Internally Kee flinched from the echoing voice that held authority and unyielding resolve. She tried to move through it but found all of the miko energy inside of her was held at bay by one entity that should never have been that strong alone. She shrieked in angry denial as the being became stronger and somehow surrounded her in a sea of calm understanding.
~There is always an alternative...there is always my soul ~ said Kagome to the enraged Kee.
Kee was swept up into Kagome screaming in defiance.
