Screams of hundreds upon hundreds of once stoic men tore the air apart, Sesshomaru’s eyes widening as the desert itself fought against the men and bewitched creatures that once thrived off it. The sands rose and fell in serpentine coils, engulfing struggling warriors, cutting through their once superbly organised rows. As the wave approached him, the demon steadied himself; erecting a shimmering shield of youki around his person for protection, extending it forwards until it reached his half brother. Just as the sandy whip was about to hit the erratically flickering surface of the barrier it stilled, altering its course in a cardioid arch, reaching for a nearby line of men instead.

“Sesshomaru!”

Turning abruptly to his left, the demon lord saw Kagome sprinting towards him with Rin in tow, followed by Miroku, a curved sword clutched tightly in her hand as she swung at the creatures that dared to block her path.

As they were but an arm’s length away, the sands rose upwards, taupe eyed girl screaming as the wave started its descent. Cobalt eyes flicking upwards briefly, Kagome did not pause, not heeding any attention to the new obstacle, her lips moving fervently as she raised her arm against the falling grains. Another voice was heard then, the male that captured Kagome uttering echoing words in an unknown tongue, hands tracing intricate figures in the air. At that moment, she looked at him, azure eyes battling midnight blue, and then turned away, giving Sesshomaru a smile that was almost apologetic.

Twisting Rin around until her hands were on the girl back, she shoved forwards, the brown haired girl gaining momentum enough to run up to Inuyasha, the hanyou catching her in a protective embrace. Then, with a loud creak, the tempest reached its peak, the grains falling, cutting Kagome away from others.
