Slice

Kagome could not possibly attack the snake youkai fast enough to save her son. Time slowed for her as she scrambled to shoot the youkai with a purified arrow. The snake held her son by the throat and was shaking him. Katsurou was kicking his legs wildly in panic, desperately clawing at the hand at his throat to free himself.

A quick glint of light was all that Kagome saw, as a sword made a clean cut across the youkai's neck. The youkai's movements immediate stilled, and his head slid from his shoulders. His body pitched forward and Katsurou fell to ground gasping for air and sobbing.

Kagome looked to Rin, who still held the sword that was covered in the snake youkai's blood.
