Chapter 6
It was an odd day, this day, thought Kagome as her vision blurred.
Why was she in pain?
Ah, she remembered now. Someone walked inside her place late that evening. Yes… it was a woman.
She was crying, recalled Kagome. Why was she crying?
Yes… she said some strange things. About a man who had betrayed her or something. It was a tad bit uncomfortable, dealing with a woman in such a state of disarray, but she tried.
Perhaps she shouldn't have. What did she have to do with such a woman? Nothing! Stupid female pity! Perhaps she should have suspected it was more than just that. Perhaps she should have noticed that this was also the day Sesshomaru had stayed late with her. His father never failed to pick the young inuchild on time.
Maybe she should have taken notice or been more attentive of the way Sesshomaru stiffened when he saw the woman, but the pity inside of her won. Feelings won over logic. She was stupid like that sometimes.
The woman produced a bow and an arrow at horrendous speed out of nowhere and aimed it at the young inu. Instinct won her over, again, and without thinking Kagome jumped in front of the child. It had been on time too for the powered arrow stroke her heart in that exact second.
Ah, yes. The pain… it came with a surprise and a bad joke. A twinkle, twinkling stars, mock her behind her eyes. A surge of miko powers.
Miko.
She felt her inside scrunch up and her soul hammered against this foreign energy, but she could not control it; she could not fight it. She had never been attacked by another miko before.
She vaguely heard a small growl, quickly followed by a battle cry. Then she heard another cry followed by another. She didn't know what was happening. She could barely think beyond the pain.
She dimly felt something. She felt a surge of green youki and then… the she felt the sphere of miko powers fade away.
