Disclaimer: Though it saddens me to say it, I don’t own anything relating to Takahashi-sensei’s Inuyasha. However, the plot and/or ideas of this drabble series do belong to me, and a nod of recognition goes to the creator of this challenge.

A/N: None. :) Update 2 of 4.

Chapter 193: Gritted Teeth

A bead of sweat rolled down Kagome’s neck before it disappeared beneath the collar of her blouse. Her arms were upraised, small, determined hands thrust out in front of her. A pink sheen of light coated the surface of her palms, intermingling with the blue barrier of the charms in her pocket. Her reiki was another layer of defense against the centipede that sought to crush her and Sesshoumaru.

“Wretched girl!” the beast crowed, cradling one of her singed arms. “You will tire eventually, and when you do, I’ll feast upon your flesh!”

“Shut up!” the priestess hissed.
