A young miko ran through the forest, her breath was heavy, her limbs felt heavier with every step she took, yet the thought of stopping didn't even cross her mind. She needed to get to the village as fast as she could! As she quickly moved through the meadow, she felt how the air was getting hotter and the heavy smoke entered her lungs, making breathing almost impossible.
Finally, she collapsed on the ground watching with horror how the scarlet flames eat the remains of what was once the village on the verge of Inuyasha's forest. Her blood freeze as she took in the tragedy that surrounded her. Bodies of the villagers were everywhere, some so massacred it was impossible to recognize them as a human beings. For a brief moment Kagome thought she was going to vomit.
"Scared?" taunted invisible voice. Blue eyes widened in recognition.
"You—"
The dragon walked from the shadow, his green eyes locked with hers until he drop a body before her. Kagome looked at it, feeling blackness surrounding her for a few seconds. Silver hairs.. white clothes washed in a blood.. oh god!
"Sesshoumaru.." The dragon laughed.
"Foolish dog, he thought he would win until I removed his heart. Pity you couldn't see it, even as he took his last breath he couldn't believe he was defeated."
Kagome ignored the taunting slowly running her hand over the silver tresses of the dead daiyoukai. It was not happening.. it couldn't be true...
The monster laughed and before she could blink, a stream of flames shot in her direction. The girl screamed, bringing her hands up in last hope of protection. She could feel her skin burning, knowing she was going to die.
With a scream Kagome shot up in her bed, looking around in shock before she met the pair of golden eyes, watching her silently.
"Sesshoumaru-sama!" the woman cried throwing her hands around the man's neck, reassuring herself he was indeed alive. The youkai tensed slightly at the contact, but made no move to remove her.
"What are you doing here?" Kagome asked once she calmed.
"Hn. You called for me." Sesshoumaru replied. The girl blushed, small smile bloomed on her face, before it turned into a wince. With a pained gasp she looked at her hand, pure terror entering her heart.
Kagome turned, showing the man her palm.
Her skin was burned.
