Hope and Choice

by XxSayuyaxX

The universe is all about balance. Good and Evil. The Eternal Struggle. It is said that the Shikon no Tama needs a pure wish to be destroyed and that requires a good, pure person. So when Naraku is defeated and the Jewel gone, that leaves a lot of extra purity in the world... and there must be balance. (Rated for language)

11. Chapter 11 - Gone From Sight

Her head whipped around, though what she was looking for, she had no idea. What was happening now? Really, hadn't she done enough? Well apparently not because the next thing she noticed was her feet beginning to disappear and she couldn't help the shriek that ripped itself from her throat. Honestly, dying was less scary than watching yourself, literally, slowly disappear.

Trembling as the tingling made it's way up her body, followed by her lack of body, she felt panic overtake her body. She had no idea what was going on but she didn't like it at all. By now the feeling was at her neck and it actually would have made her cough had she not been so scared that she couldn't even breathe, let alone cough. It passed quickly enough from her neck to the bottom of her face as her shoulders disappeared.

Since she had no hands or feet, she couldn't flail as she wanted to and it was the most disconcerting feeling she had ever had, quickly replacing her earlier confusion on how she was different but not. Her gaze whipped around since her neck was now gone and rather than the scream that she wanted, instead there was silence. She had just enough rationality left to realize that her mouth was gone and the last thing she did was let a tear fall from her eye.

The moment it made it past her lower eyelid, it met free air. Kagome was gone and the only remaining shred of her existence fell and splashed upon the nonexistent ground.
