Chapter 3:

Healing

The room was silent as Kagome took in a deep breath and called on her powers, feeling the familiar pull from her soul as she concentrated on the task at hand wondering how long it had been since she had felt it. Slowly it poured into her hands it flickered and sputtered for a moment like a lighter trying to catch it took a few more tries before the flame sparked to life and engulfing her hands in a steady pink glow. Placing them on the male she poured every bit of healing energy into him as the storm thundered around the house, Kikyo showing a rare case of emotion by biting at her thumbnail watching the woman heal. Sweat started to bead on Kagome's forehead as she tried to heal the damage caused by an unknown weapon, his energy was weak, hell it was almost nonexistent by the time she started but as the minutes ticked by the more his breathing evened out. Instead of short and shallow puffs, his lungs began to draw in more and more, horrible wounds closed up to manageable cuts and slices. Internal bleeding stopped and he would be out of death's door for the moment.

Exhausted the priestess pulled her power back into herself and glanced at the woman she hoped to never see again. "In the kitchen above the stove, there is a first aid kit, bring it here so we can get his wounds dressed." Kikyo nodded before standing up and shuttering off behind the couch and into the kitchen area, shuffling around a bit as she looked for the kit. It only took her a few minutes before she was back at the males side handing the stark white box off to Kagome. Nodding in thanks the girl made work of opening it up and taking out the antiseptic spray and clean bandages, a pair of scissors to tear away the little fabric he wore to get to some of the wounds.

"Why are you here?" the question came out a bit cooler than intended

Kikyo looked down at the male before straightening her shoulders and facing the woman that changed everything with a wish. Brown stared into blue, unflinching and just as cool as the other. "I called to the Kami's for help and they brought me to you" it was the easiest reply and she knew that Kagome would be the only one to understand what the Kami's did. A low grunt of acknowledgment was given before she continued to wrap and disinfect the wounds on the male before them, she would get the full story after everything and everyone was taken care of.

"Up the stairs and the room straight ahead there should be something in the closet that will fit you for the time being there is also a bath in there, turn the knob up and over to the left to get the hot water, here," she spoke while tossing Kikyo a roll of bandages for her own wounds before slowly standing up, wobbling from the sheer exhaustion and the lack of using her powers for so long. There was no exchange of words as Kikyo did as told and wandered up the stairs to clean up knowing her companion would be fine for the time being. Kagome moved to her own room on the first floor, the room that used to belong to her mother before she left with Souta and leaving her alone once more. Slipping out of the robes knowing they would be in need of a good scrubbing to get all the blood out she wandered into her own bath and began to scrub herself clean.

An hour or so later Kagome had found herself in the kitchen preparing two bowls of food for her and Kikyo who sat at the table with a cup of tea gripped between her hands, eyes darting every now and then to the male slumbering in the living room. After her shower, Kagome had pulled out a blanket from the closet and laid it on him along with a cool rag on his forehead. "Here" Kagome spoke while setting out a bowl of rice and a plate of meat she had cooked earlier in the day before pulling her own seat out and digging into her own food. "Thank you" Kikyo replied before setting down the cup and picking up her own chopsticks, praying shortly before beginning to eat the food provided for her, the silence stretching between the two females as the storm thundered above them and the rain smacked the ground in anger.

"What happened" Kagome asked softly after half her meal was eaten, blue eyes looking up to the older woman as her chest ached to know what happened after she was ripped away from the past.
