In Which Kagome Casts a Spell

Kagome knew that both of the men behind her were in awe at her power.  She hadn’t even realized she could do that, she had just felt the aura coming and eliminated her target.  It occurred to her that she was more powerful than even she realized.  Casting the spell she needed to, in order to fix the current dilemma was going to be hard on her, in all reality she was not certain she would even survive through it.  She also knew that the two males had no idea that she had promised to mate them both.  Naraku, however, was becoming problematic, her hentai side just couldn’t seem to let go of how unbelievingly gorgeous he was.  This is going to cause problems.  She thought to herself as she realized they were nearing their destination, it was time to steel herself, the site of all of her friends dead would take a toll on her. 

They walked into the clearing and she saw all the havoc, there were the bodies of her friends mixed with those of demons all over the field, now she saw how many she had taken out and she realized why she had her reputation preceding her, it was almost unthinkable that she had managed such a task.  But it was time to get to work and lay everyone to rest.   Kagome broke off by herself and left the two demons to do whatever they chose.  She used her powers to do this work, there was something soothing about her purification licking up and down her arms and throughout her body.  Kagome created graves for all of them and then one by one she slowly lowered their bodies into the craters and filled them back up.  Sango and Miroku together forever in their own, same with Kilala and Shippou.  An unbidden tear slipped down her cheek and she wiped it away quickly then stood up to find some things to decorate their graves.  While she was out she felt a clawed hand on her shoulder and turned around, it was Lord Sesshoumaru.

“Yes?  Did you need something Sesshoumaru?”  She was not in the mood for demands at the moment, she sighed tiredly.

“This one wishes to offer you condolences, you attempted to defend your pack well and suffered a great loss.  You prevented their bodies from being desecrated.  You did your job well.”  Sesshoumaru said as he walked away.

“Thank you.”  Her whispered voice said as she finished collecting the grave markers and placed them individually. 

She hurried to head back to where everyone was, they would make camp tonight, it had taken them the better part of today to do this task and frankly; Kagome was just emotionally and physically exhausted.  Kagome rushed off to the woods to bathe, first off she just wanted some time to herself before she bathed. 

“Kagome.”  She heard a voice and she started, nearly jumping out of her skin. 

“Naraku?”  Kagome’s voice was confused. 

“Yes, I came to see if you were alright, this was a very hard day.”  His blood red eyes crashed into hers, they had turned midnight blue in her sorrow. 

“I…”  She bit her lip.  “…it was a bad day, yes.”

“You have went through much lately, have you not?”  Naraku said as he approached her, she was standing up now, he did not know why he felt the need to see how she was. 

“I have…”  Kagome couldn’t help but stare at his lips.  They were close now.  Just one kiss, it couldn’t hurt.  She thought as she came closer and they crashed into a kiss and passion consumed the culminating in a blazing inferno.
