Prompt from Stella Mira’s Soundtrack Challenge #25: Dust to Dust

Debris and streaks of youki hurdled towards them, crashing into the floor only feet from Kagome and Akahito. Even while the sky fell around them, she was aware of Akahito forcing her to her knees near something solid and curling his larger body around her, protecting her.

She knew he was being bombarded by the collapsing roof, felt every impact against his back echo through his chest against her back.

Before she could worry about the injuries he was probably sustaining, the weak floor below them crumbled. They were falling, dust chocking her, making it impossible for her to scream.
