Chapter 15: One Last Time
Kagome sat on a large, nearby rock and stared out into the surrounding woods, her back to Kati. ~It can't be true. For years I have never felt a demonic aura in the present time. How can they be here, and up until today I haven't felt them? Have I grown weaker since the battle with Naraku?~ Kagome examined her hands, pulling forth some of her miko powers, they tinged faintly with a pink glow. ~No, my powers are still as they were. None of this makes any sense. How many times did I wish for the well to work one last time, only to be disappointed? Now I have the chance to see them, and instead, I am sitting up here acting like a fool.~
"Are there more places like this one?" Kagome asked.
"Yes. Only a few are here in America, usually on the outskirts of large cities, like this one. The largest number are in Japan and surrounding areas, so I hear." Kati answered.
"They are not animals." Kagome was still furious about the things Rolf said. Granted some were purely animals, some were not. Some of them she knew.
