Golden Veil by BelovedStranger

Chapter 289

Word Count: 100

Prompt from Stella Mira’s Soundtrack Challenge #10: Crimson Lotus

Akahito was struck. She could see blood staining his left side. His wound didn’t seem to deter him or slow him down. Both men fought fiercely; however, there was something detached about Akahito’s movements. Mostly he defended, and when he attacked, his blade never hit. Was he the lesser fighter then? Or was he mocking Sesshomaru?

Kagome didn’t know, but she had a sinking suspicion. When she saw Akahito’s eyes, they seemed lifeless. With growing insight, she took a step forward without conscious thought.

No. No!

Sesshomaru raised his blade, thrusting, and at the last moment, Akahito lowered his sword.
