Extinction
It burned in her palms. She could see the smoke sizzling from her fingertips, but she tightened her hold anyway; fighting the urge to rip her hands from the searing gelatinous mass.
As she clawed at it, working her fingers further between it and his fur, the hotter it became, until finally it came free and she tossed it away from them, cradling the abused appendages against her abdomen with a whine.
Kohaku lowered his head to nuzzle into her, tongue darting out to sooth the sting as much as he could, a rumble of apology vibrating in his chest.
When he finally pulled back so that she could assess the damage, she was shocked to find swirling veins of dark, throbbing purple crisscrossing the entirety of her palms.
"Shit." She knew it wasn't at all eloquent and speaking that way was only aiding to the extinction of proper speech, but she couldn't help herself; just like she couldn't –and wouldn't- quell the stream of rather colorful curses that spewed forth in the next few moments as she vented her frustrations.
Kohaku allowed her that moment, seemingly unaffected by her blasphemies.
She quieted soon after that; resting her forehead against his neck and wrapping her arms around his girth, mindful of her aching hands; feeling bone weary and emotionally exhausted. "We need to hurry." She mumbled into his fur. "All of that violence no doubt attracted more of them; along with the ones that were already following our trail."
Note: Here, a chapter. Enjoy it since I cant seem to write shit. I've not been able to look at any of my stories -OS or FF- and not cringe in disgust. And I'm not talking about the drabbles for this; I've had these done for weeks.
