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 4 of 5.

Chapter 209: Gradient Descent

The weight of her guilt churned in her stomach as Tessaiga’s disappointment burned in her hands. Whispering apologies to the distraught sword, Kagome hugged it closer to her chest, hoping it could somehow grant her the courage to complete her rescue mission and make it back home alive. Hopefully, Sesshoumaru was still okay… Wherever he was.

Hues of different blues and purples surrounded her, the cluster of lights coaxing her forward, sometimes behind, and then somewhere in between. It was hard to tell when her body was helplessly suspended in midair without gravity to keep her grounded.

She felt lost.
