Everything was in chaos.
A battle had formed, thanks to Kagome's Howling that called her people to help her. Never before where there so many Howlers in one area and knowing that they were right under their noses made everyone aware of just how ignorant they are at the notion of capturing such magnificent creatures.
Each and everyone one of the Howlers were transformed into some version of an animal, far more menacing and deadlier than the original.
One female in particular, jumped down from a large tree, her forest green gaze hard as ice as she back flipped continuously towards one of the Whisperers holding a knife towards a blue eyes male in a furry form.
"Emerald!" She screamed, and her green faerie appeared instantly before her, glowing brightly atop the female. It was as if she had frozen in midair when light sparkling light littered from above and when she landed she had grew large wings, and her feet were that of a bird's leg with elongated talons. A sinister cry escaped her throat, revealing a face that looked to have a beak for the lips with beady orbs.
In on swift movement, she dug her talons into the man's shoulders, yapping in delight when he cried out in pain before flying up high in the sky in a blur. After a few minutes, blood and body pieces littered the vicinity uncaringly.

Inuyasha found that his shock at what was transpiring around him paralyzed him from movement. The orders being shouted in his direction fell on deaf ears as his focus was upon the floating beauty in a red and white glowing orb above the pool that was now filled with blood and dead bodies.
He was so captivated by the destruction before him, so drawn to the bright light that was so close yet so far from him that he didn't even dare move; couldn't even if he wanted to. And deep down he knew that that was the last thing he could think to do – not when he knew what his father expected of him.
The orb started to fade slowly, but when one of Inuyasha's people tried their luck in harming it, it would suddenly crackle and spark, sending a stream of energy towards them and shocking them momentarily – but not enough to kill them.
Inuyasha also noticed his father had call in more people, but as quickly as they come, others were dying so the not much change in numbers for either side was noticeable.
"What are you doing?" Inuyasha whispered, walking blindly in the direction of the pool when the shinning orb began dwindling as it descended from above.

"Kagome!" The angry voice hissed her name in disappointment at the female lying atop the water in a small ball. "Do you have any idea what you've done?!"
Walking idly towards the girl was a woman dressed in a dark silky cloak, her dark hair cascading down her back to tease at the water with every movement.
"I'm so sorry," Kagome whimpered. "I got injured and I knew I wouldn't make it out alive…"
"You could have come home!"
Kagome hugged her knees to her chest, shaking her head in the negative. "I couldn't fail…" She mumbled, shying away from the woman's disapproving scowl. "I couldn't return a failure – not when my whole race depended on my success."
"Did your whole race depend on falling for that boy?" The woman's hiss made her jump from the proximity. "What about –…"
"I never liked him mother!" Kagome barked, pushing her form into a sitting position, "You knew that… You knew!"
Stepping back as if slapped, Kikyou hugged her dark form closer. "So I suppose fooling around with the enemy…" Shaking her head with a sound of disgust she pinned Kagome with a glare. "Falling for him was what I should have known?"
"It's not like that mom," Kagome groaned, tears trickling down her face. "It just happened."
"You coming home is what just happened."
Kagome looked on in horror as her mother's blackness began to glow, her eyes shining with intent. Walking purposefully towards Kagome, Kikyou cursed angrily when her daughter smirked triumphantly before disappearing.
