"Where is Inuyasha?" Kagome asked when they returned to the village of Edo.
"The half-breed followed the undead one."
"Un-undead one? What do you mean? Are there z-zombies here too?"
That was the only response she got from him as he gathered his cloud beneath him and took off into the sky.
"HEY WAIT! WHERE ARE YOU GOING SESSHOMARU?!" She called after him, desperate eyes never leaving his form. The ache in her chest deepend into a tugging pain the further away he got.
Her human eyes were too weak to have seen him glance back at her, before his speed increased and a clawed hand clenched at his side.
Ghostly feminin screams echoed in his ears, and pale blue orbs drifted before his eyes. The sight of which was haunting. Her body was thrashing in the small pool of water, fighting against the dark priestess soul stealing spell as a large blue sphere was being ripped away.
"Miko!" His own growl rolled out of him without thought, an unsettled feeling clutching at his core. Wispy strands seemed to cling to the body before it stilled like the earth would upon his anger.
"Miko!" The growl came again. "You will not dishonor this one's father by dying at the hands of one so much less than you!"
The dark purple glow seemed to tighten around her, but the large blue orb didn't move. It didn't shift even as he watched the decrepit old woman yank her own hand towards her, but it also didn't begin to settle back into the Miko where it belonged.
"Are you so weak that you can not control your own soul!?"
The large soul shuddered, and the dark priestess laughed.
"You waste your time dog. Kikyo's soul will be mine, and that girl will cease to exist."
He blinked and he was beside the basin of water which held the strange girl he had come to guard. Tessaiga was still housed at her hip, where it has resided since she pulled it from his fathers tomb. It's last use to protect a small kit. A pale pink aura had begun to pulse out of the edges, claiming the Miko and her power as it's owner. From Youkia to Reiki, it seemed there was nothing his fathers fang couldn't do.
"You will refrain from referring to this one with your filthy mouth." He paused and glanced back down towards the girl as the wind in the area began to pick up, and her soul began to pulse. "Hn, it would seem you are the one who is wasting their time."
