Scientific Method
Chapter 72
March's DDN, Prompt 2: Blood
Kagome screamed as she was thrown back. The low-level youkai was very fast and managed to escape her arrow. To her dismay, the youkai had landed a good blow on her. She had been hit few times these last few months. She thought she had gotten better but…overconfidence, the very same sin Inuyasha suffered from, finally got to her. It was easy to understand why this happened. In modern Japan she was possibly the strongest miko there was. There was no Kikyo and Midoriko was hardly remembered at all. The temples were full of actors rather than real miko and monk… she knew this. She knew how wrong this was. She knew youkai were not beings to be trifled with… it had been such a horrible mistake.
The young miko was crumpled on the floor, her head swarm and blood tickled down over her brow. She could vaguely hear her monk companion trying to fend off the crazed opponent but she knew it would require more than a miracle for the half-experienced monk to defeat it. He didn't have as much power as her…but he had a lot of courage and more education than her in the field. He could surprise her… she knew.
So, she stood on wobbly legs, dashed against the youkai and expelled her powers in a whirlwind of pink power.
