Chapter Seven: The Twins

"She's really bleeding a lot," Kagome said, minutes later.

"Will she be ok?" Rachel asked fearfully. Kagome bit her lip. She debated pretending that she hadn't heard the girl, but Rachel was looking at her with such a trusting gaze that Kagome sighed.

"I…don't know. She's very weak." Rachel nodded. "I don't think I can save her." An unwelcome tear squeezed its way into the corner of Kagome's chocolate brown eye.

"I can. Out of the way Kagome," Rachel said, pushing her way in between them.

"No," Miroku said and Rachel glared stubbornly.

"What is she going to do?" Kagome asked.

"A Hybrid's most basic power is healing. Rachel could heal Rosaline, but at a price. The energy she uses will severely weaken her, maybe even kill her."

"I don't care what happens to me. She's my sister. I can't live with myself if she dies and I knew I could have saved her." Without another word, Rachel positioned her hands over Rosaline's chest. Amber light began to pool around her hands and flowed into Rosaline's body.

It had seemed like hours to Kagome since Rachel had begun her work on her dieing sister, when it had only been a few minutes. Kagome bit her lip and leaned nervously against Inuyasha's chest, his strong arms around her. Miroku and Sango sat nearby, their fingers intertwined, and Shippo was sitting in Kagome's lap. Finally, Rachel withdrew her energy from the girl and tried to stand. She swayed uneasily and had to lean on Miroku for support. "She's weak," he said softly.

"I'm fine," Rachel said gently, her eyes half closed. "Kagome, did it work?" Kagome stood and went to Rosaline's side, examining her rapidly healing wounds. She smiled.

"I think she's going to make it." Rachel smiled tiredly as Rosaline's eyes fluttered open.

"I thought you were dead,"

"I thought you were dead too." Rosaline reached out a hand to clasp her sister's. They were, once again, exchanging words with their eyes that the others couldn't here.

I love you, sister! Rosaline said mentally, clasping her sister's hand tighter as she drifted off into unconsciousness. Rachel smiled softly to Rosaline as she drifted off as well.
