Power continued pouring from Kagome in waves. She brought her hands up to cover her face as she sobbed. 'How? How did it come to this?' she thought as she scrubbed at the tears falling down her face. She was trying to get herself under control, as she knew her power was overwhelming everyone but she couldn't find it in herself to really care.
'Why should I?' she thought as she brought her hands down so she could stare at her little brother's still form. All of her struggles had been in vain. She had trained and gotten stronger so she could protect those she loved. 'And I failed,' she thought as she reached out a hand to close his eyes.
She was finally able to get some of her power under control but it was still pouring out in waves. Her hand that had closed his eyes gripped the edge of his bed as she leaned over to kiss his forehead. 'I will always love you, little brother,' she thought as the tears trailed down her face to land on his and then to slid down his own cheeks. It made him look like he was crying.
She went to pull back so his soul could be freed from his body. She wanted to be the one to do that and the one to take him to where he could rest and be in line for reincarnation. As she studied his body she noticed something missing, something that sent her powers flaring again, forcing those who had started to come comfort her, to retreat again.
"Kagome! Please!" Koenma called out.
All of a sudden her power just disappeared as if it had never been there. Everyone present gave each other wary looks. They were all silently debating on who should be the one to approach her.
"Who?" she asked in a calm voice as she continued staring down at her brother's body while inside she was seething in rage.
"Who what?"Koenma asked her.
"Who?" she snarled out in a question as she turned to face Koenma with an expression of rage on her face that demanded she be answered now or else. Unconsciously, everyone took a step away from her.
"I'm afraid I don't know what you mean, Kagome," Koenma said, though he knew exactly what she was asking as he could feel it. Genkai had walked up to stand beside him, but she wasn't focused on him but rather Souta's form. She knew what set the priestess off and hoped for Koenma's sake, he started talking and soon.
"Answer me," Kagome said snarling. A positively demonic growl escaped her throat as she bared her teeth at Koenma. He would answer her eyes were flashing pink, almost as if she was going into a demonic as she demanded, "Where is my brother's soul?"
