Kagome breathed deeply calming herself and the others. Being in control of her body again brought such a sense of exhilaration that she was sorely tempted just to stand there experiencing the subtle play of the air on her skin, smelling the scents brought by the light breeze.
"My my I am impressed, I had not thought you strong enough to combine all those personalities. Tell me, what is your secret little miko?"
The scorn in his voice was unmistakable. Kagome was about to respond when her eyes settled on Sango's crumpled body. The ground surrounding her was soaked with her blood and Kagome's anger soared to new heights. With half of her attention she heard Inuyasha whisper her name and she resisted the urge to turn to him for comfort. The way his voice had shaken when he spoke gave her all the strength she needed to complete her task. Within that one word he had conveyed a need for her so strong that had she been able she would have shuddered with its complexity.
~ Tosh they are your charges...keep them safe. ~ Both she and Kee ordered.
~ As you wish. ~ Tosh responded.
Kagome could sense the jewel shards against her skin, how they beat in time with her heart and wondered momentarily about the reaction. Normally the shards were more docile when she was in contact with them, reacting strongly only when being used by a youkai. Now she could feel their power coursing into her, fueling her already immense energies.
~ I am with you ~ came a distinct female voice, separate from the others.
Kagome herself had never heard the voice before she immediately recognized it and understood the implications that it entailed. The name that belonged to that voice came instantly to her from one of the other miko entities inside her that had known the owner. She felt humbled by the honor that had been bestowed upon all of them that SHE of all the mikos would join in this battle while her's still raged within the shattered Shikon Jewel. Her confidence intensified becoming unbreakable. She knew without a doubt she would be victorious in this.
She took a step forward, towards Sango, whose life force was still fading even with all of their combined wills fixed firmly on it. Ferlias stepped into her line of sight, attempting to block her. Now she did raise her eyes to the youkai lord and felt satisfaction that his face held such uncertainty in it.
"Move Ferlias. I will not tell you again" she ordered her voice mixed with Kee's.
"And if I will not?" He countered, the arrogant smirk climbing to his lips.
"Then you will find out how very little it will take for me to deal with you. I have more pressing concerns then you at the moment." Her voice echoed as all the voices inside of her mingled into her's.
Ferlias's eyes flashed with insulted anger. Kagome, her mind only on Sango raised her hand, pooling her energy to awaken a spirit that had yet to come into its own full power.
"Hiraikotsu...your mistress needs you." Kagome intoned as her force enveloped the bone boomerang.
Hidden deep inside the weapon a small portion of the youkai it had belonged to still was in existence. It slumbered most of the time with no self- awareness only awakening when Sango called it to battle, glorifying in the combat. In this moment it responded to Kagome's call with something born of malice and insulted pride. It had always protected Sango always answered her call and fought as it had been always meant to fight, with deadly accuracy and power. Now its wielder was injured and it had failed perhaps to never be used again in the glorious battling that had become its one and only purpose.
Hiraikotsu rose steadily from the place it had been discarded earlier by Ferlias and moved to Kagome's side beginning to spin slowly. Kagome raised her other hand calling forth a jewel shard. One appeared floating above her open palm, its glow so bright it almost hurt Kagome's eyes to look upon it. She compelled it into Hiraikotsu and it disappeared. The aura around the weapon changed to the same bright silver as the jewel shard. Hiraikotsu's spinning became more rapid as the jewel shard increased its power.
"Now go...protect Sango," She ordered it.
Without hesitation Hiraikotsu raced toward an ill prepared Ferlias who roared as it slammed into him, knocking him to the side. Ferlias stumbled away as again and again of its own volition the boomerang attacked him. Kagome easily sensed Hiraikotsu's outrage over the treatment of Sango and actually felt sorry for Ferlias having to contend with such a being as the one that inhibited the weapon.
When Ferlias was finally forced away from Sango's prone figure Kagome rushed over to kneel beside her. Tears coming immediately to her eyes as she saw the damage Ferlias had done to her. Only the knowledge of the other mikos kept her from panicking. Kagome did her best to not look directly at the gaping wound in Sango's body, tried not to imagine the pain her friend was in so that she could do what she needed to do.
Kagome closed her eyes and put her hands out over Sango. With all of her will she gathered her power and unleashed it praying she was not too late.
