Chapter Nineteen- The power of Anger.
*****************
"MOTHER!"
Serenity's voice echoed around them. Narahiko and Inuyasha looked at her in shock and surprise. Serenity's eyes were wide as tears formed. In a quickness she jumped from the tree to Kagome's side. She lifted her mother's head, laying it in her lap. Serenity felt the blood leak onto her skin as her mother lay there, eyes half closed. Kagome's breathing was heavy and labored. She was dieing. But she had been dieing even before she had demanded Inuyasha's attack on her. The sounds of Serenity's whimpers echoed around them as she held her mothers body close to her. Kagome's blood spilled onto Serenity's shirt, staining it a dark crimson color. Serenity's tears fell onto Kagome's face, leaving a small glistening trail down her cheek. Kagome's eyes fluttered a bit as she struggled to lift her arm. Using, what seemed to be the last of her strength, she lifted her hand to caress Serenity's cheek, wiping a tear away. Serenity's closed eyes opened in shock as she felt her mothers touch and she grasped her hand tightly in her own.
"m-mother.."
Serenity's voice was small and frail as that of a child. Kagome managed a smile that looked painful on her face. Her skin was somewhat cold to touch, and it was getting colder by the minuet. The wound looked at though it was not going to stop bleeding till all the blood was bled from her veins. Kagome opened her mouth to speak, only to cough as blood came up. Serenity laid a blood stained hand on her head and stroked her hair.
"Shh. Mother do not try to speak, save your strength."
Kagome shook her head, her finger tips touching Serenity's cheek once more. She gathered her voice to speak.
"Serenity."
She managed to say before she cough blood once more. Serenity couldnt control her tears as they fell. Her mother was dieing. Right in her arms. And Serenity could not do anything about it. But who could she blame? Inuyasha? Narahiko? No, she could not blame them for this. Sure it was Inuyasha who had attacked her. But it was herself that was the cause of it. Had she not been sneaking around that night, had she not defied her mother and gone through the well. Then Kagome would not have come back. She would not have put herself in danger. She would not have gotten hurt. She would not.die. Anger flared within her.
"Serenity..m-my daughter."
Kagome soft voice brought her back from her mind. From her thoughts of self blame. Serenity gripped her hand tight, not wanting to let her go. She didnt even sense nor hear Inuyasha come up behind her. He placed a hand on her shoulder and looked down at Kagome in sadness. His fault, he thought. He should have not used so much power. He should not have agreed to this! Now it was his fault. But the thought hit him, as many did when he was in dispair.
The Shikon no tama..
Naraku had said, long ago, talking about Kikyou. She could have saved her life with the use of the jewel. She could have not followed him into death taking with her the Shikon jewel. If that was so, if that was true. Then couldnt he use the jewel now to save her. Would it work? But..he looked down at her neck where the jewel usually was. But it was not. He remembered. Narahiko had gotten the jewel from her neck. He had it in his grasp and yet he did not use it. Inuyasha had to get the jewel back before Kagomes last breath gave way.
"Serenity."
He said in a soft tone. She jumped slightly and looked up at him. This, hanyou, standing above her, looking down at her with a mix of sadness and detected anger in his eyes, this was her father. The father she had never known. The one she had come in search for. The one she had fought. The one that had wounded her, making her met the bastard Narahiko. She remembered it all. She remembered being trapped within a shell of herself. Her body acting to anything but her will. Following his words, his demands. Inuyasha's hand slipped from her shoulder and he moved to Kagome, his eyes becoming full of sadness now, as he looked down at the one he loved. The one he wounded. The one that had asked him to. He lifted her from Serenity's grasp, she looked at him confused. The scent of Kagomes blood was everywhere and it sickened Inuyasha. He smelled the blood upon his hands.
"We can save her."
He whispered, sure enough so Narahiko could not hear them.
"We can save her."
He repeated seeing her wide eyes. She lifted to her feet, shakily.
"how?"
"The Shikon no tama. It can save her life."
"Where is it?"
"Narahiko has it."
Serenity's gaze shifted angrily to Narahiko, who looked down at them with narrow eyes. Serenity turned to Inuyasha once more.
"Protect my mother."
She said and before he could say anything else Serenity was gone. She was charging at Narahiko, landing on the branch across from him.
"Now you will pay for my mother!"
Serenity erupted in pain and anger. Her power surged around them. The leafs of the trees blew off from the power and Narahiko looked at her in shock. She was the daughter of a hanyou and a priestess. Her power was unrivaled by anyone she had ever met, except for her mother. And now her mother was gone, or going. And Narahiko would be the first to pay. Youkais all around could feel the energy resonating in their area. Feel the power and feared it. And all hell was about to break loose..on Narahiko. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kouga froze. He felt it. He smelt it. The scent of Kagomes blood, the feel of miko power and youkai power erupted. It chilled him to the bone as fear took over his heart. Not a fear for the power, tho it was immensely great, but a fear that Kagomes life was in danger. After all these years he still loved her. After she telling him she loved Inuyasha, he still loved her. His son and daughter looked at him briefly before they themselves felt the power. Only they did not freeze as Kouga did. Their eyes widened in shock and surprise, also in a little curiosity. They were thinking of who could make such a power.
Kouga shook himself from the fear that had gripped him. He glanced at his children, silently telling them to follow him quietly, before taking off down the hill towards the power. The miasma cloud growing more thick and toxic. Kouga had only one though in his mind as he ran towards it,
Kagome, please be ok.. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
