Blood Stained
Chapter 70: Upside Down
Everyone was trembling, blinded and laying flat against the ground as the light slowly retracted. The seconds ticked away before the room returned as it was before. Nothing was out of place, no objects were broken and the lightning was as dark as before. No one dared to move for a few minutes, until one of them finally gathered the strength to move.
Kouga's arms were shaking, his skin tingling with pain as he pushed his body up. He struggled to make it in a sitting position and once he finally did, he sighed in exhaustion. It felt like all of the power had been drained from his body. Slowly, he brought a hand to his forehead only to realize he was not only sweating but his skin was scorching hot.
He blinked a few times as if he was trying to recall what had happened. He could still vividly remember attempting to stop Kagome for making a mistake but after that it was a bit of blur. She had made the wish had she not?Sesshomaru! Kouga quickly lifted his head and stared at the bed.. He almost felt some sort of relief when he saw Sesshomaru lying there still unconscious.
It wasn't as though he didn't want him to get better, but the thought if his beast being unleashed wild without any surveillance made him shudder.
"Kouga?"
Kai's voice pulled his attention away from Sesshomaru and he began scanning the area for her. He quickly found her lying on her back in the corner of the room. She appeared to be in just as much pain as he was. She was holding her head while looking straight at him. She was biting down on her bottom lip so hard that she almost made it bleed.
Clumsily, Kouga made it on his feet and headed for her. "Are you okay?"
She weakly shook her head. She felt like death, but she had known worse; she would live. "What about Kagome and Sesshomaru?"
"He's still unconscious… but I don't know where Kagome is."
As fast as he could, Kouga searched the area, until he finally reached the other side of the bed. Somehow Kagome had made it there. She was sprawled on the floor, her hair tangled, her eyes closed; she was also unconscious. He bent down with the intention of picking her up and began wrapping his arms around her. It was then that a bright light exploded from her body and before Kouga could react he found himself thrown against the nearest wall.
Between the force of the hit against the wall and the burning of the light it was no surprise that he was in pain. He sat on the floor completely shocked but not caring that his head was still halfway in the wall. What in the world had happened?
"What was that?" asked Kai while she crawled in his direction.
Kouga could do nothing but shake his head. "Kagome is not that powerful. She's not even conscious!"
Kai did her best to make it where Kagome was laying and made sure she stayed at a certain distance away from her. From where she was she could see the faint glow surrounding Kagome's body. There was an angry, dark pink light enveloping her. Cleary her wish had to have worked… or at least something had to have occurred. The problem was that both people involved were not awake.
"At least it didn't work."
Kai snapped her head in direction of Kouga. "What do you mean?"
Kouga shrugged. "I mean, obviously the wish didn't work. Sesshomaru doesn't have his beast back."
"The fact that he is unconscious does not mean it didn't work. What if it did?"
Maybe he had been too quick to assume the wish had been wasted. Or perhaps it was his fear that it might have worked that was clouding his thinking.
"Even if it did, we're safe aren't we? I mean you did fix his watch didn't you?"
Kai nodded. "I did." Unfortunately, according to what she was looking at on the floor at the moment, it wouldn't be of any help. She grasped the object with her hand and lifted it. "Though the watch doesn't work when it's in pieces."
She threw them at Kouga and waited for his reaction. The watch exploded which could only mean one thing; it worked.
Kouga took a moment to take it all in; all of this was nothing but bad news. "So you're telling me we have an insane, Kagome-obsessed beast with no leash on and all we can do is wait for him to wake up? OH and Kagome is defenseless and unconscious."
"Yes. But she's not quite defenseless. He's not going to be able to get to her, not when she's glowing like that."
At least. The problem was that it was now a guessing game; who would wake up first? Kagome they could handle, but Sesshomaru… An angry beast could most likely take both him and Kai out. The safest thing to do was to bring Ginta and Hakkaku in. The more power they had, the more likely it would be that they could control him.
Or at least keep him down until they could figure out what to do. Though that was technically a task for Kagome. He loved and cared for her dearly but he did not approve of her wish. He knew why she did, he understood and chances are if he were in her situation he would have done the same thing. However from his point of his view it had been the wrong move.
The jewel had still been darkened, it wasn't a selfless wish and she had unleashed hell. Who knew if the jewel was truly gone? With that kind of wish… it might just re-spawn somewhere else and end up in the wrong hands. He ran his clawed fingers through his hair, his locks freed from the ponytail during the chaos.
"What do we do now?"
Kai sighed as she brought her knees to her chest. She was, for the first time, experiencing fear. She knew the potential of Sesshomaru's power and the thought that it might be hurt, wild and free was not something she wanted to think about. She shivered before leaning her head against the wall. "We wait."
There was nothing else to do.
Kouga nodded before heading once again in direction of Kagome's body. "We have to pick her up; we can't just leave her on the floor like that."
"Then you try." She wasn't trying to be rude, but she wouldn't risk being purified.
Last time he had tried it had not ended well. He could still sense the burning on his skin. Still, he refused to leave Kagome laying there. He took a deep breath before repeating his previous actions. He slowed down when he was about to put his arms around her. He wasn't too proud to admit to himself that he was a tad bit afraid. Still, he gave the final push and wrapped his arms around her.
Immediately the glow surrounding her grew, and he felt as if his flesh was being burnt off. He was shaking immensely and grunting as he took small, short steps. He could feel her wanting to propel him away like she had done earlier, but he resisted. Every little movement was draining him of what little energy he had left but he didn't stop.
His grunts got louder with every step while the pain increased with every breath. Kai got up, helping herself with the wall. She was trying to remain behind Kouga, feeling as though he was going to fall unconscious at any moment. He was sweating like never before, his body was trembling and she could see the blue of his eyes fading away and almost becoming red; he was exhausting himself.
Surely where Kagome laid could not matter that much! He was risking his life; the surge of power coming from her was so intense it was going to kill him. She could see the cut forming on his skin and it looked like he was being ripped from the inside out. She cringed as she watched him painfully lay Kagome down on the bed near Sesshomaru.
As soon as Kouga let go of Kagome, he dropped to his knees, feeling like his soul was escaping his body. The pain going through him was almost too much to bear and a grunt of pain went past his lips. He grasped the sheets of the bed and almost pulled them off as he collapsed on the floor
Panic appeared in Kai's eyes as she rushed to Kouga's side and kneeled beside him. "You idiot," she said before grabbing his head and putting it on her lap.
Now she was left with two injured youkais and an unconscious Miko. Somehow she didn't see this ending well. Kai took a deep breath, as her fingers were buried in Kouga's hair. Her own body was ready to break under the exhaustion, but she fought to remain awake; someone had to be.
Just what was she supposed to do?
-B-
A powerful surge was invading inside of her body while she struggled to find consciousness. Her head was overpowered by a terrible headache and she winced, unable to open her eyes. Her body felt out of her control and an unknown sensation was tingling her skin. She found herself breathing in deeply while she attempted to open her eyes once more.
This time it worked, but the process was extremely slow. Her eyelids were slowly cooperating as the room came in view. She ran her tongue over her dry lips and she found herself staring at the wall. Her surroundings were completely silent and she realized the room appeared empty. Panic took over and her heart began to beat faster as she searched the vicinity for her friends.
Unfortunately all she found as an empty bed beside hers.
Sesshomaru was gone?
Wait! Gone? Kagome could do nothing but hold her breath back as the events that had occurred prior to her losing consciousness rushed back into her mind. She had made the wish…
Oh god.
She didn't regret what she had done but… the doubt that hadn't been there before was beginning to form once again. At the moment she didn't even know if her decision had even saved his life; he wasn't there. She couldn't even remember what had happened to her! Why was she in a bed? Why had she passed out? After the memory of her making the wish, everything else was nothing but a blur.
Holding her head in one hand, she swung her legs, which were feeling rather heavy, over the bed until her feet touched the floor.
Guilt was leaving a bitter taste in her mouth as she kept her eyes shut. She had wanted him to live so badly, no matter the consequences that came out of it, including his beast. All she had been able to think of was that he would die. Had it been wrong to use the jewel, to put her duty on the line to save someone's life?
The purity of the wish was… questionable.
Despite the fact that her body was trembling, Kagome stood on her feet. She felt a bit shaky, but took a step forward nonetheless. It was then that her foot came in contact with an unknown object. Out of fear, she found herself jumping which caused her to trip. Before she knew it, she found herself lying on the floor on top of a pile.
She blinked once, then twice before opening her eyes fully. It was then that she found herself staring right into a familiar icy blue eye. "Kouga?" she inquired slightly confused.
He was still half out of it but he weakly nodded. "Wait, you're awake?" he asked as he sat up quickly
It was then that his body reminded him of the pain and he quickly stiffened before wincing.
Kagome put a hand on his shoulder, concerned. "Are you okay?"
He felt like shaking his head; she was the one asking him that? "I'm fine. You on the other hand I'm not so sure. You were unconscious… you were… you burnt me... your powers were out of control."
Sadness quickly filled her eyes as they roamed over his body. "I did this to you?"
Without thinking she reached out for his bare arms and traced the burns with her fingers. How could she have possibly done this? Her bottom lip began to quiver. "I'm so sorry."
Kouga's chest tightened as he reached out for her chin. He gently grabbed it before lifting her head. "It's not your fault, Kag. You weren't even awake. I know you'd never hurt me."
All she could do was offer him a sad smile. "How is it possible? I'm not that strong."
"You were then. You are now."
She did feel different, but it couldn't possibly because she was stronger. All she could experience was pain! How could Kouga even tell if her power was still high? "Are you sure?"
He nodded. "I can feel it."
As Kagome glanced away, hoping her wish hadn't gone wrong she was reminded of the empty bed behind them. "Where's Sesshomaru?"
Kouga raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean? He's right there," he said before turning around.
His eyes opened wide and panic took hold of him at the empty sight. "He was… right here. Oh god!"
"Your wish worked."
At the sound of Kai's voice, Kagome snapped her head in her direction. She was sitting on the floor near them, her back pressed against the bed. "His youki came back, it broke the watch. It's free."
The blood in Kagome's body froze, her heart ceased to beat and she held her breath back. It's free. Those were terrible words and she could not stop them from echoing in her mind. Of course it was free, she had wished for it to be hadn't she? Then why didn't that do anything to calm her panic? She could not regret what she did; never.
"I had to save him," said Kagome trying to provide them with an explanation.
Kouga shook his head. "I know. I understand, but I don't approve even though I still would have done the same thing."
Kagome felt a twitch in her heart while Kouga told her what he thought.. She already knew he didn't like the choice she had made since he had attempted to stop her. She sighed before nodding. He understood her decision and she understood his. The fact was, it was done and could not be undone. The only thing they could do at this point was find it before anything bad happened.
Though usually its only target was her.
"We'll have to find him."
"I don't get it though," said Kouga as he sat up on the bed. "Why would he leave? I mean he wants you… why get away from you?"
Kai decided to speak her mind. "The same reason why his beast left him in the first place."
Had she really been the reason why his beast had refused to come back? She couldn't be! All these months… all these years… Sesshomaru had been forced to battle against his beast's desire for her. How could he possibly give up on her so easily? She refused to accept that reality, even though it was almost pleasing. After all if his beast didn't want her… it made it so much easier.
"It has to be something else," said Kagome, determined.
Kai raised an eyebrow before taking a step forward. "What's wrong with my idea? Sesshomaru explained to me what happened and it makes sense."
"It doesn't make sense. Nothing that happened does," said Kagome, her heart squeezing in pain. There was no explanation for anything that occurred between her and Sesshomaru… and his beast.
"His beast wouldn't change over night. You don't know it, you don't know what it can do," she began explaining, her eyes watering a bit. "I tried to give it a chance, I tried to see… but there's nothing to do. It won't change."
Kai hadn't gone through what Kagome had experienced and Kagome was right; nobody knew the beast like her. But Kai just couldn't give up on her idea. It was the only thing she could come up with that made sense. If his beast felt no regret then what was the purpose of leaving, of hiding? It had to be experiencing shame.
Still, she could see that she couldn't and shouldn't force her idea on Kagome.
"You're right, I'm sorry."
Kagome shook her head softly. "It's okay."
She bent her head forward slightly and kept her eyes locked on the bed. The sheets were stained with Sesshomaru's blood and it increased her worry. What if her wish had gone wrong? What if something had happened but none of them had been awake to see it?
"We have to find him."
"No, we don't," said Kouga firmly. "You passed out; your powers are out of whack… you're going to stay here." He also wanted to add a part about the beast, but he decided it was better to keep it to himself.
She wanted to argue, she wanted to tell him that she could do it, but a part of her was scared. Not only of the beast but of what they might find. The jewel was not a blessing… what if she had damaged him? What if she had turned him into something that was no longer him?
"I'll be here in case he comes back," she said, giving herself an excuse.
Kouga nodded before turning around. "Kai, you should stay here."
"No!"
The scream escaped her before she could stop it. "I mean, I'm fine. Kai should go with you. I'll be here with Kiyoshi."
Kiyoshi. Kagome hurried to be at her son's side and inspected him. She gently lifted him, turned him around and made sure nothing had happened. After a few seconds, she sighed in relief before holding him close to her chest. During all the commotion she had blocked everything out of her mind. She gently rubbed her son's dark locks trying to soothe him even though he didn't seem upset.
"You guys should go," said Kagome before spinning around, her back facing them.
Somehow, she preferred being alone then with someone. Too much had happened and she felt overwhelmed. Not only that but she had also badly injured one of her friend… she didn't want to hurt anyone else. It was best if they were far from her.
Alone once again.
-B-
The wind was harsh, blowing the sand straight into his eyes. It burned but he ignored it. His heart was pounding like never before and his head was pulsing with pain. His skin was stained with blood that was slowly drying and becoming uncomfortable. He was praying for rain to wash it all away but he knew it would not come. His mind was completely blank and he wished to not remember.
His amber eyes were threatening to unleash tears but none dropped. His brain was aching with memories but he did his best to push them aside.
It worked. He didn't know what Kagome did but whatever it was he could feel his beast inside of him. Sesshomaru wanted it to come out, he wanted to face it, but it would not come. No matter how much he yelled, how much he searched within himself he was complete alone on the outside.
Slowly he raised his hand and rubbed his forehead. His memory was failing him; he could not remember making it out of the room. All he knew was that he could not return, not yet. He felt that as long as he couldn't reach out to his beast he would be a danger to Kagome and he refused to harm her. It left him with the hard task of waiting.
Sesshomaru could still hear her voice and feel her tears. She had been so concerned about his health and about losing him that it left him with a heavy feeling within his chest. After everything that had occurred between them he wanted to give himself hope but was afraid to do so. Considering the current situation, he couldn't' take her presence in his life for granted.
He slowly bent down before sitting on the sand. The wind was blowing through his hair, tangling his shoulder length locks. He couldn't help but wonder why his beast was trying to get away from Kagome. He had thought it was because of the guilt but his beast didn't hide. He screamed, he took, he yelled, he said. None of what was happening at the moment fit who the beast was.
Then again, perhaps he did not know his own beast. Before Kagome came along he didn't discuss anything with it. Yes, he shared himself with it a few times but it was only during battles. The only side he had seen of it was the one it had shown. Maybe there was more to it?
Sesshomaru stretched himself forward as the tightness in his chest grew. As the seconds went by it became more difficult to breathe and he could do nothing but put a hand on his chest and try to inhale properly. His breath was short and a panicked feeling formed within him as he failed to breathe. His body began to shake and before he knew it, he found himself screaming at the top of his lungs.
Pain spread quickly throughout his body and his heart was ready to burst, while he grabbed onto his shirt with his fingers. His entire body was quivering as sweat drops were dripping down his neck and forehead. His rage increased and all he could do was rip his shirt off. The buttons exploded one by one, the fabric gave up under the pressure.
Sesshomaru fell forward until his face hit the sand but he didn't care. His visage was buried further and further as the pain increased. He grasped his head with his hands and held it as tightly as he could. He was being ripped apart from the inside and nausea appeared, caused by his intense suffering. Before he could stop it, he found himself vomiting, forcing him to lift his head from the hot sand.
He kept vomiting while the intense feeling of death washed over him. Never before had he felt so close to death, not even when he had been bleeding to death in the bed. His level of fear increased and he failed to notice the change that was happening in him. His eyes slowly began to fill with a deep crimson color while he began to scream loudly, expressing his pain verbally.
Do not.
As the voice echoed in his brain Sesshomaru found himself completely frozen in his position. Of course he knew that voice but he felt as if the last time he had heard it was a lifetime ago. When his beast was in control he could not feel it, or hear his voice. It was only when he was inside his head. A part of him wished he had heard that voice again.
Do not what?
He could not ignore it. The pain was obviously there for a reason. If he ignored his beast, it would never go away. Also, he had to know why it came back. It had disappeared for so long, refusing to even return when he was near death. What changed its mind?
You cannot return. I should not have return.
Sesshomaru couldn't help but arch an eyebrow in confusion His beast didn't want to come back?
Then why are you here?
It brought me back.
What did?
The darkness and the light. Her.
Sesshomaru's heart began to race as many ideas ran through his mind.
How?
She wished for my return.
He closed his eyes forcefully while the despair came crashing down upon him. . She had used the jewel… on him. She had wasted a wish in bringing his beast back! He did not care if it cost him his life, she shouldn't have used that wish. She hated his beast and so did he. His eyes began to burn and his lips were dry. He was cursed and whole at the same time once again.
Sesshomaru had believed it would bring him peace, completion but it did not. Having his beast back only made him even more miserable.
Leave again.
It wanted nothing more but to leave. It no longer wanted this body, this misery.
I am bound.
Bound by the jewel. If he left, there would be no more wish. What would a dark jewel bring but despair? She had made the wish on a corrupted jewel… nothing good could come out of it. Yet, coming from Kagome it did not surprise him. She would sacrifice everything including herself if she had to just to save someone. Even if it included saving a part she despised.
I will not return by her side.
Life was filled with irony. Months ago if his beast had told him he didn't want Kagome, Sesshomaru would have been pleased. He would have locked himself in a room in his castle and never seen her again. It would have worked out just the way he wanted to. Now, he could no longer live without her. She had become a part of him and he wanted her in his life. Unfortunately this time the tables had turned and his beast didn't want her.
However that did leave a question. Why?
She is our mate. We need to be by her side.
He was using the arguments his beast had used on him in the past. Not only did this increase his guilt but it also made him feel pathetic. If only he could have seen then the things he could see now. Maybe everything would be different.
We will not return. I will not allow it.
His beast was clearly evading the question, which only made Sesshomaru ponder even more. His beast refused to give up on Kagome until now. There had to be a reason.
You love her. Why are you doing this?
I do not.
I cannot.
Why can't you?
She is not mine.
We marked her. She is ours. She stayed by our side, she –
She is not ours.
Never before had Sesshomaru said that they marked her. Yet the words had left his mouth and it had felt so natural. He understood and still remembered that it had been done with her unwillingly but at the moment she remained by their side by her own choice. He had hoped for a while that perhaps one day he could mark her again properly but as time went by, he could see that hope dying.
His beast's words angered him yet he could not find a way to convince it. Though he did believe what his beast said; he could probably not return until his beast wished to. Unless he found a way to lock it away but for that he would need some cooperation that he doubted he would obtain.
I need her.
He never needed anyone. Back then especially. His beast had been the one to need her, but things had changed. It would be hard to be himself without her or their son. He had been given a taste of a life he never thought he would have… how could he let it go now?
This time, his beast provided him with no answer and remained silent.
Sesshomaru could not help but allow rage to fill him. For many centuries he had put up with the feelings of guilt and regret his beast had forced upon him. He had tried to fix a relationship that was beyond repair because this timehe wanted it. He had begged, apologized and done things to his pride and ego he would never have. Also, he had learned.
His beast was taking his life away once again just like it had done five hundred years ago. Sesshomaru would not follow the path he had in the past. This time he would be the one in charge, the one making the decisions. If he had to live with his beast to survive, he would not be a slave to it anymore. Before, his own life had been all that mattered. Things had changed. She mattered. More than he did.
We will return to her. I do not care why you left. I do not care for your feelings.
Without me you cannot live. You should have died.
Do you wish for my death? Do you wish for your own demise?
It does not matter.
You loved her. You took her without her consent. Yet, you are willing to die rather than to be with our mate. It does matter.
He knew his beast was stubborn, but this was a new level of stubbornness.
We need her.
WE DO NOT NEED HER!
At that exact moment, Sesshomaru felt a sharp pain travel through his body. Once again, he took hold of his head and terrible screams of pain escaped his throat. He twisted, turned and bent his body in ways he didn't think he could while trying to escape his suffering. He forced his fangs in his bottom lip, hoping to relieve the pain.
However all it did was cause blood to spill out of his mouth.
SHE IS NOT OURS!
Those words kept echoing into Sesshomaru's mind as he felt darkness envelop him. He fought to stay, he fought to keep the light going but its power was too strong. His eyelids became heavier and despite his fighting he slowly fell unconscious. His face hit the sand first, his arms resting at his side.
All that was left was the emptiness of his surrounding and the wind blowing in his hair pushing the sand around.
-B-
The night had fallen, the temperature had decreased but the window was still wide open. She had no idea why she left it open; it would not help her find him nor would it tell her if he was coming back. All she could do was sit on his bed, their son in her arms, staring out at the city while wondering what had happened to him. She couldn't get the thought out of her mind that she might have killed him.
If Sesshomaru was alive, why would he stay away from her? Especially if his beast was back and free! Shouldn't she be its first target?
She inhaled deeply before glancing down at her son. Surprisingly, Kiyoshi had been completely silent the entire time and it made her worry. He usually would get upset when situations were like this, especially when it involved Sesshomaru. Why wouldn't he be crying now?
Deep inside, Kagome was hoping that her son knew something she didn't.
Her life felt upside down at the moment and she didn't know how to deal with it. Usually she shared what was happening but this time she had chased everyone away.
Months ago she would have used her wish differently. No, she wouldn't have made a selfish wish out of it. She wouldn't even have used it to save herself from him, but she certainly wouldn't have made a wish that would have saved his beast. How had things turned out so differently? Now she worried for his safety while worrying about hers.
Also weighing on her mind was the fate of the jewel and the world. It was tainted, meaning she shouldn't have wished on it. A terrible curse was either upon her, Sesshomaru or the world. The problem was she couldn't figure out on who and what it was. Though there was a strange detail she could not get out of her mind; she could clearly remember the jewel become pure white before it disappeared.
Wouldn't that mean it was purified? If so, how was that possible? She was the only one who could do that yet she knew she couldn't.
There was also the fact that she had grown more powerful. How could that be a side effect to her wish? Nothing involving Sesshomaru was related to her powers.
Slowly, Kagome lifted her hand and stared at it intensively. It looked the same it worked the same but something inside wasn't. As time went by, she less felt like herself. Yet it wasn't a bad thing. She wasn't experiencing more suffering, pain or misery. She simply felt herself growing, yet it didn't feel as if it was something she could control.
She felt weak.
Kagome thought that feeling to be long gone after everything she had gone through but she had clearly been wrong. She couldn't control her own self or her powers. Yet, she had expected herself to be able to save Sesshomaru. Never had she considered any of the reasons why his beast had left or what may come of her wish.
What if all she did is give him a few hours? What if she had sacrificed so much only to kill him in the end?
Her eyes slowly began to fill with tears as she held her son closer to her heart. His presence appeased some of the pain, causing her to bend her head and press a kiss on his forehead.
He was not worried.
She shouldn't be either, yet that did nothing to slow down her heartbeat.
All out of the blue, Kagome felt a pulse going through her body causing her to jump slightly. Suddenly she began breathing faster and panic spread through her body. Those emotions were soon followed by other symptoms, including a burning sensation in her neck. Slowly she removed one of her hands from Kiyoshi and clamped it over her neck.
It took her a few moments before she realized it was coming from the side where she had her mating mark. Her concerns only increased but she tried to take a deep breath to calm herself. It meant nothing. It was just a coincidence; this didn't have anything to do with her or with Sesshomaru.
Her panic caused her to ignore the sweat drops sliding down the back of her neck, along with the dizziness. It wasn't until she put a hand on her forehead that she felt it. She also noticed the wet feeling under her fingers and on her forehead. Rapidly she pulled her hand away only to notice it was covered in blood. Kagome knew for a fact it wasn't coming from her forehead, which meant it could only originate from… her neck.
Perhaps now was a good time to panic.
Her vision began distorting and she could feel her hold on her son loosening. Ignoring all symptoms, she focused her mind knowing she had to put Kiyoshi down before anything happened. Kagome put all her strength in her legs, hoping to get up but all it did was cause her to crash upon the floor. All she could do was turn and manage to be the one to hit the floor while her son on top of her.
As she glanced down at Kiyoshi to make sure he was fine, she could discern a white glow around him. Her breathing was heavy as she attempted to lift a hand to rest it on him, but she couldn't..
All she could hear in her head was the echo of a voice. Kagome. Kagome. Kagome. It was calling her name over and over again.
Strangely, it sounded like Sesshomaru. Her body quivered and it felt as if she could sense him. Was he… calling out to her?
Desperation took hold of her as her desire to answer that call grew stronger but before she could do anything darkness filled her heart. She closed her eyelids, not even fighting it. The blood was spilling from her neck to her back and onto the floor, yet it provided her with calmness.
Her son was moving; she could feel it but could not stop it.
And then, there was the never ending echo of her name ringing through her mind.
Kagome.
Kagome.
Kagome.
"Kagome!"
