Kindred Spirits

Embodiment

With their fingers enlaced with one another, the twins gazed at one another. Their gaze never faltering as smoldering silver flames began to converge around them. Dancing upon their skin as ever slowly Hisuri's orbs turn a startling amber. As did Souma's, the young man's voice becoming caught in his throat. Able to feel the massive amount of divine aura which draped around he and his sister. Hisuri's eyes filled with unimaginable power, and a desire to set free this flame burning within her very being. Souma then turned his attention to the newly formed Shinimi. Resentment evident in her eyes as Souma's own amber orbs seemed to intensify.

Griping onto her brother's hands tightly for reassurance. Souma turned to his sister, holding her in his calming gaze. One that could wipe away of anxiety prior no matter the situation. His dazzling amber orbs swallowing Hisuri whole. Before a sudden harmony seemed to come about the dancing flames. Now slowly creeping through both Souma and Hisuri's raven locks. Slowly turning their hair to that of first snow. All the while Hisuri's hair suddenly grew far beyond her comprehension. Her once short black locks now cascaded down pass her very ankles. Scattered across the earth below her feet.

Stepping back hesitantly Shinimi hissed at the dazzling twins. Their aura changing to that of which Shinimi truly feared. For the twins appeared to be tapping into the Celestial Blood sleeping within them. Turning these children no not mere Celestials as Shinimi had once been. But two beings far beyond this world. Two beings of both darkness and light. Combined and together bringing fourth the wrath of not only the Heavens. But their own sense of justice. The two children seeking to protect their family. Their dynasty above all else in this world. And to do that Shinimi must be eradicated.

Understanding this. With their fingers linked along with their powerful auras. Swirling around one another, sending shivers up Hisuri's spine. She and Souma turned their gazes to their father. Whom held onto his injuries yet continued to hold his head up proud. Never wishing to show weakness. Even to his ever growing children. Giving his approval to his children in invoking their sacred blood. The twins opened their mouths to speak. Their voices mixing into one, as if the siblings were one being. "We offer ourselves to the Heavens. To use of as your divine instrument, to deliver your divine punishment!-" The two began as the sky above them suddenly opened revealing a brilliant pillar of amber flames which encased the two children as their chant continued.

Protecting them from any harm that could be inflicted upon them. "We ask you to allow us passage to a power which sleeps within your children. The strength to protect!" The siblings finished as the firey pillar which held them now traveled to the two of them. The silver and amber flames creating for both Hisuri and Souma similar yukata. Both a pure white hue with lovely amber and silver trim to the end. While the long tails of their yukatas draped the ground with live silver flames which flared about behind the two. Their divine aura stretching far across the western lands to even the corners of the northern and southern lands. Now stifling back their own collected gasps at the sudden intensity of divination. Never once feeling such force from any being of this human realm. For not even to holiest of priests was capable od such a feat. And yet they were. Two children. Born of sin.

The aftermath of a Daiyokai and Celestial Maiden made flesh. Two symbols of enormous power beyond any man's wildest of dreams. Born with the capabilities of both creation amd destruction. And at this very moment, gazing upon the ruthless Shinimi. Aunt to the two twins in truth, and yet she had done the most heinous of acts. For Shinimi dared to speak out against the "Mother of Celestials" her own mother in fact. To the point of rage that Shinimi allowed a yokai to enter their sacred land. Which Naraku greedily defiled everything he made contact with. Now fully working with the yokai whom had aided Shinimi in her past assault on the Western Lands.

Where the fallen Celestial Maiden sought the death of her dear beloved sister. And the power which once lay dormant inside her womb. With their fingertips pressed against one another, both Souma and Visit I began to hover above the very ground. For the ground was not worthy of their holy presence, which spread across the lands like a never ending wind. Forcing lesser yokai to mere ashes, never knowing what was the cause of their demise. While stronger yokai quickly fled, hardening their defenses against the divine wave. Now referring to the act as the "The Culling". As many yokai not only lesser but many young yokai perished as well. Unaware that their end came in the dead if night in the shape of silver and amber flames which washed across the land repeatedly.

Forcing even Naraku himself out of hiding. His many tentacles severed due to the purity of the waves. Causing the vile yokai to stumble to his knees before the twins in both pain and awe. Wishing even more than to make at least one of them his own. "Such power, able to pierce the very heavens themselves." Naraku muttered now being bathed completely in a sea of amber and silver flames. Which mercilessly licked at his body, burning the once power yokai severely. For the sudden baptism of flames was interrupted by none other than Shinimi.

Who sent of flurry of her black flames towards the twins. Interrupting their attack, and temporarily forcing the two apart. Hisuri deciding to take charge she soared towards Shinimi. Her eyes retaining that dangerous yet pure glow of theirs. Before what appeared to be a cut in the very fabric of space and time itself made itself known to Hisuri. A smirk on her lips she seemed to simply slip into the sliver of space given to her. Her body disappearing from sight as did the entry way which once stood there.

Kagome gasped at the sight searching for Hisuri only to see another silver hues crack in the space behind Shinimi. Before long Hisuri came soaring full speed at Shinimi;an o tanto blade in hand which was overcome by silver and amber flames. And without a single hint of hesitation Hisuri severed Shinimi's head. A look of utter shock still evident in that horrid gaze of hers. The silver and amber flames devouring Shinimi's head till it was nothing but dust in the wind. Leaving the headless body of Shinimi pressed against Naraku. Who stared at the headless body for quite sometime. In what appeared to be both shock and confusion. Not understanding why Shinimi would even bother saving him.

Her body now slowly dissolving to ash in Naraku's grip. The act actually shaking the yokai who turned his gaze towards Hisuri. His gaze wide and anger filled as he sent a barrage of tentacles towards Hisuri. Who had no need of blocking the blows, as Slums did just that. The silver and amber flames around his body taking shape of firery katanas. Which circled the young Lord before he willed them to rain down upon Naraku. Pinning the yokai to the ground painfully. As the flames now began to sink into his very blood. Burning away anything they touched sending Naraku into a fit of horrid screams. Which made a small yet satisfying smile to form of Hisuri's lips.

As even in this divine form of hers, she simply couldn't help herself. Enjoying the writhing and cries of her enemies before her. Even knowing she shouldn't, but she did. And this enemy most of all deserved it, as did Shinimi. Their acts could never be forgiven. Only in death could they ever hope to seek retribution. But could a stain as black as Naraku's truly be wiped from this world with such ease?
