OKAY, really sorry about the long gap between updates. Things have been kind of hectic here and I just recently got over a terrible sickness, but I should be updating regularly now.

Thanks again to my amazing beta, Stella, who kicked my butt until I updated this, and who also kept me lots of company and showered me with luffs while I was sick.


The smaller wolf yelped loudly as the stick she held smacked the back of his head, sending him crashing to the ground.

She didn't have a moment to feel proud of herself, as the larger wolf charged towards her after seeing his comrade fall. Kagome dropped the stick, bringing her arms to cover her face as the wolf launched himself into the air.

She waited for the wolf to bring her to the ground, but the impact never came. Curious, she opened her eyes to see that the white dog had jumped in front of her, taking the damage intended for Kagome.

"Stop it!" She cried, running to the dog as the wolves snarled towards him. Kagome dropped to the ground, gathering the bloody creature in her arms as she tried to protect him with her body.

She looked down to the dog, who stared at her with narrowed red eyes. He raised his head softly and licked her arm, then let his head rest against her.

Anger swelled in her body as she perused the animal in her arms while he bled. She held him tightly to her chest as she felt a swell of reiki gather in her body.

She screamed, releasing a burst of power as she did. The wolves whimpered when her purity singed their fur, running away with their tails between their legs. Sesshomaru whined softly while he slipped in and out of consciousness.

The surge of reiki slowed down, and Kagome found herself taking slow breaths to calm herself. Looking down to the dog in her arms, she smiled softly before collapsing on the ground.

An old woman was passing by and, feeling the swell of power, she ran towards the young girl, gasping at the sight presented before her.

"Quickly, call for help!"
