Silver in the Moonlight

Chapter 1

Closing my eyes preparing for impact as Kagura's winds threw my body as a grain of sand across the battlefield.

A cool arm wrapped around my waist pulling me in and spinning me. Feeling the impact go through him I opened my eyes.

"Miko are you hurt." Asked the stoic lord. Looking up at him, the battle fell away. Quickly nodding I detangled myself from him.

"Its a war, my lord there will be casualt.." Whispering , I turned before I could finish speaking feeling a pulse. I scanned the battlefield before me.

Something was going to happen, something terrible. Searching for my companions I had to save them. They had to walk away from this battle, I would do anything in my power to save them.

Sango was desperately shielding dying Kohaku. The second Sesshomaru had managed to land a strike on Naraku, he had taken Kohaku's shard and threw him aside as a ragdoll. Kiara circled around Sango as feral beast blood dripping from her mouth and wounds marring her white fur. She would protect Sango with her life.

Miroku and I had been separated from each other while battling Kagura she had thrown me with her dancing winds . With a lingering glance, Sesshomaru returned to battle I ran for my bow that lay a few feet before me. Reaching for my arrows, my fingers grasped alone arrow, my last arrow.

Shippo hid under Ah-Un, a shooting fire alerting Jaken's location. Picking up an arrow and bow I planted myself in the ground. I had one arrow, one chance.

Taking a deep breath I drew the bow, Kagura was on her feather battling Miroku's wind tunnel.This was the moment she was battling Miroku she had yet to realize I was on my feet.Closing my eyes I let out a small prayer and released the arrow.

She didn't scream, she had a look of disbelief in her eyes as she fell her kimono fluttering as she plummeted to the ground. The arrow had flown true to its mark and embedded itself deep in her chest.

Her feather hauntingly drifted on the wind, across the decimated plain of bodies. A stark white against the blood that would forever soak this earth. The pulse it strengthened, scanning the battleground, I didn't know what it was but something was going to happen, something terrible I had to stop it.

Feeling the pulse again I turned to Miroku screaming.

"Miroku get to Sango NOW!" Screaming across the field, he did not stop to question or catch his breath from the fight. He broke into a sprint to Sango.

Sesshomaru and Inuyasha held at bay the endless hoard of youkai that continued to come from Naraku.

Koga dragged himself towards his pack with his bloody legs. My legs screamed in protest as I ran towards the Inu brothers.

Shooting holy power at youkai that came toward me. I leapt over a body only to fall, pushing myself up from the cold bloody ground.

Ayame lay before me her vibrant orange hair haloing around her pale face. She had been run through by a snake demon. Koga had tried to save her but Naraku had managed to use his pain against him as he fought and took his shards.

There was a gaping hole where her stomach would have been." Oh, Ayame." I whispered closing her eyes.

Naraku had come during the night as a coward when everyone slept. Standing up I felt the pulse before the scream even made it my ears.

The scream pierced the battle that waged,locking eyes with Rin my heart dropped. Kikyo held onto the sword that was embedded deep in Rin.

I was running before I could even process what had just happened.
