Random Drabble
Prompt Inspiration: my drawing, similarly titled, A Miko and her Demon, of them in battle
-----------
Sorry, it has certainly been a little while since my last piece was posted and i do apologize. Things have been...personally tumultuous, and sort of still are. I AM trying, honestly, so hopefully i shall have something a little sooner.
This piece was inspired by my most recent drawing, titled, A Miko and her Demon. I had wanted a show of Kagome being the leader of the pair in a battle they fought...thusly, the doodle was born and not long after i wrote up this drabble. It is kind of crappy, but, hey, it's something! ^^;
Anyways! Do enjoy! o 3o

“Sesshoumaru!” Kagome abruptly shouted, “I need you here! Keep them back!”
Her voice was caught up in the cries of battle, but he still managed to respond to her command. In a silvery flash he crossed the carnage, making his way to where she stood, the other priestesses attempting to protect her were nearly all stripped away by the horde trying to reach her. Ignoring the bodies scattered around his feet, he took a stance before her, claws extended and teeth barred, his eyes red with the fury of battle coursing through his heated blood. He could feel the sheer strength of her aura pressing against him as her powers grew further; the air was heavy and charged, biting at his back with each second that passed.
“He’s coming.” She almost whispered, just loud enough for him to catch the warning.
Focusing his thoughts, he realized that he could also sense the man’s approach.
Hardly a moment after her mention, the man’s black eyes appeared on the horizon, set beneath the narrowed brow of their enemy. With great, heavy steps he began wading into the field, beating, slashing, and crushing those in his way, careless to friend or foe along his determined path.
By now the vibrant, purplish white of her power had begun to surround the pair, taking over the field little by little; the anguished cries of purified evil swiftly rose into a deafening chorus as she went.
“On your right,” her words abruptly echoed in the spiritual void they now shared.
The brilliant green of his poison whip swept across the corpse-ridden area, catching the group of humans mistakenly pleased to be free of her purity’s spread. The attack was so quick that the men continued to move another foot or two before slipping apart, the halves of their severed bodies slowly dissolving as his acidic poison ate away at their fresh remains. Unfortunately, he was unable to revel in his triumph as the silhouette of the man appeared at his peripheral.
Through an angered sneer, Sesshoumaru growled to his companion, “He’s here.”
“I..know….”
Somewhat labored, he could hear her rapid breaths, her mind and body working so hard to keep the barrier in tact, the power strong, and her focus keen. Plus, there was no doubt her eyes had become glued with as much intensity on the man as his, the waiting figure of his large form having stopped just at the border of her power’s reach.
Sesshoumaru moved forward slightly.
“No.”
He paused, his dripping fingers anxious to reach him, youki swirling chaotically within him, all so desperately wanting to tear into the vile being.
Why? Why must he wait? The thought slipped through his mind as he deeply scoffed, the exhale laced with the rumblings of an indignant growl.
Soon a small opening appeared in the barrier before the man, steadily widening, becoming just large enough for him to be able to step into their little arena. Without hesitation, he made a bold, carefree stroll across the threshold she provided, completely disregarding the recent entrance as it closed shut behind him.
Purplish white lightning shot through the dome, ricocheting across the space like a violent introduction to their upcoming fight. Kagome’s eyes broke open, her lips curling into a dark grin, “Are you ready?” she calmly asked.
Drawing on an equally delighted smile, Sesshoumaru dipped his head with eyes glowing brighter, his body poised and muscles coiled in fierce anticipation, “Ready.”
