AUTHOR'S NOTE: SORRY! I had two chapters 86 (silly me) and well...in the confusion I used the '2nd chapter 86 which should have been 87' as chapter 86. Please, go back to read chapter 86 :)

Tahmar released the miko when she exerted pressure on her hip, silently asking to be sent free. The hanyou watched as the miko moved inside the storm which was the Taiyoukai's youki and when the vapor of it made the miko cringe the green-eyed female went to her aid immediately. The inches taller hanyou took the miko on her arms and closed the distance between the pair and then settled behind the miko, diligently holding her shoulders in case she was pushed back or fell.
"Thanks," Kagome muttered through clenched teeth, "I hope…his works Sesshomaru." With the final whisper of a prayer the miko extended her hands, closed her eyes in concentration and when she felt where the Shikon rested inside of her drew her powers to it. The Jewel sprang to life and a void formed, much like Miroku's, and then before she knew it her body was burning.
Kagome screamed her throat raw but the Shikon kept sucking at the youki Sesshomaru was giving freely. There was no measure, no sense of what was enough. Apparently the Jewel had been without this dark energy, his side of life, for so long that it was just so hungry.
Time seemed to fade and only the escalating heat was present to Kagome. As the time passed she felt her consciousness's become smaller, close into itself. That was, until at the last moment when she thought she was going to faint, she bond collapsed.
She felt her body loose its strength and she fell down limply. Thankfully Tahmar was there to hold her, "Are you all right, Shikon Miko?"
Kagome breathed in and out three times, trying to assess her well-being, "I think so," she finally admitted and her brown eyes moved to Sesshomaru. His chest rose and fell slowly, as if still having a lot of difficulty in that simple act. "Is he alive?"
"I think so," said Tahmar uncertainly, "His wound needs attention… but I would appreciate if you could do what you did for this inuyoukai…for Juhus too."
Kagome looked up at the hanyou but before she could say anything a strangle cry left her lips when a painful wave of power coiled over her heart and…squeezed.
To be continued…
