[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]
I just found out that a certain someone had put me on the recomended fanfics list and I just wanted to say THANK YOU AND I LOVE YOU! Also I’d like to say I'm so sorry I've been slacking on keeping up w/ my chapters consistently. Hearing about this though, by accident b/c one of my fellow authors that I am a big fan of had been searching for my fic but didn't remember the title, makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside and inspires me to write just for you.
so Jasmine Fields I would just like to say that this chapter is dedicated to you. and also, Thank you.

Chapter 18: The Nameless, Eyes Like Yours
//Pathetic (benign) Accept it (undermined) Your opinion (your justification) Happy (State) Servant (hate) Malice (heart of weakness)//
"You love him. you want him. Go to him, join him in death. Free yourself of the pain. Don't worry about the others," indistinct voices whispered in her mind, she knew not their source but they were there. Clutching her head in her hands, she tried to block out the words, tried to block out the voices but nothing was seeming to work. These taunting voices had been whispering in her ear for hours, taunting, tormenting her with their messages. "He died because of you," a distinctly female voice whispered to her. "He wants you with him in Hell," another, a male this time, piped up. "Go to him, join him," they all whispered in unison. They had been at this for hours slowly wearing down her resolve and working their way into the deeper parts of her mind. Indistinct images flashed before her eyes, hallucinations, causing her to begin to question her sanity. Something wasn't right, but she couldn't detect a foreign presence. Nothing else was there in this little world but herself.
//No toleration Invade (kill me) Enraged (in minutes) Don't condescend (don't even disagree) //
Something had happened to her when she had returned with her little sister. A shock had run through her, causing her to double over in pain, almost as if she had been struck in the stomach. Then everything had gone blank. She could vaguely hear the voices of her friends as she collapsed, but could not respond. She had no control over her body. She had been like this for only kami knows how long.
Valiantly she fought to maintain her hold on the slowly ripping strings of her sanity. What had once been a rope was slowly dwindling into what could only be called a thread. Tenaciously grasping on to that last thread of her sanity, she desperately searched for a way out of this mess.
Oh how she had a penchant for getting herself into messes. Her eyes dimly flashed pure white for a moment before they slowly faded and flooded with an inky black. Silver lightning flashed in her eyes before it was quickly quashed. With a cry she convulsed as her powers momentarily turned in upon herself. Whoever's power she was under knew what they were doing and had several centuries over her.
//Decide (decay) Disappoint (delay) You suffered then, now suffer under me.//
With a growl, she pushed harder, her magic surfacing only to be pushed back once more with equal if not more force. A scream was rent from her throat as her miasma attacked her blood. Her purification rose to the surface trying to counteract her miasma. Her powers were dependent on a complete balance between the light and dark within her. The scale had been tipped, however, and the two contradicting powers within her were attacking each other, eating away at her organs and flesh. The battle was being waged inside and outside of her body.

In reality, her friends watched on horrified as miasma began to leak from her pores and pure white flashes of her purification sparked to life slowly eating away at her flesh. Her body convulsed as an inaudible cry was rent from her throat. Souta and Rin had been sent outside, once Rin was healed, so they didn't have to worry about them seeing this horrific scene. However, their hopes were dashed when Rin came bursting through the mat that served as a door with a sharp cry.
"Mayoke!" she shrieked. Rushing to her sister's side, she paid no heed to her adopted brother or her sister's friends as her eyes took on a luminescent yellow sheen that slowly spread to the rest of her body and came to center upon her hands. Poising the small claw tipped appendages over her sister's body she focused with all of her might on healing her dieing sister.
~X~
Indistinct images and colors danced before her eyes as Kagome desperately fought for her life. She had an epiphany somewhere between the bouts of complete and utter anguish. There was only one being that could so easily break through her mental defenses and manage to stay unchecked. Rather there was only one that was living with that inherent ability. A roar escaped her as she pushed out more of her powers, trying to offset the effects of her magic.
"SATYR! You lowly bitch! Release me and fight me on even grounds!" she shrieked, as something she had never felt before pulsed from within her very soul. It was something foreign and indescribable. It left her feeling warm and secure. This was not a power of her own. This thought should have scared her and yet it didn’t. If anything it only served to further comfort her.
A blinding light flashed before her inner eye and all else seemed to fade away leaving only an oddly familiar pair of eyes in her focus.
//Oh, you know I have seenA sky without sunA man with no nationSaints captive in chainsA song with no nameFor lack of imagination//
Molten gold eyes with a ring of red around the pupil stared at her. Some indistinct emotion was swirling in their depths bringing out silver highlights that wouldn’t be noticed otherwise. Slowly with the eyes, a face came into focus and a gasp escaped Kagome as her eyes traced over familiar scarlet stripes above well defined cheek bones and the navy blue crescent moon that resided upon his brow. This was no dream.//And I have seen Darker than ebony//
“Se- Sesshoumaru?” she hesitantly queried. “What… happened to you?” For the moment all thoughts of the danger that was currently looming over her and even the pain of her warring sides disappeared with his appearance. //You know it seems that IWithout your eyesCould never be//
Joy poured through her soul as she was met by the man of her dreams. The pain of his silence was forgotten in her time of need as her soul rushed forward and lovingly wrapped itself around his own.
She looked up at him through her non-corporeal eyes and noticed something in his eyes that she never had before. She tried to decipher that emotion in vain while lost in his gaze as her eyes were slowly taken over by a combination of her purification and black magic. Her eyes became jet black with a lining of pure white and silver swirling in the middle as she pushed back her aunt with a power that had never been experienced before by the depraved woman.
~X~
With a shriek, Satyr was pushed back into her body. Pain overrode her system as a combination of her niece’s purification and miasma coursed through her body. Agonized screams tore from her throat as she writhed upon the wooden floor. In some spots her skin bubbled as if it were being eaten away by acid, causing her to lose control of her powers momentarily.
//(don't go) i never wanted any body more, then i wanted you(i know) the only thing i ever really loved, was hurting you.//
The ground beneath her began to tremble and roots tore through the floorboards of the castle she was currently in, writhing in rhythm of her agony. As the pain subsided into something a bit more bearable, she noticed the presence that was looming over her shoulder, and the immense displeasure that emanated from said presence.
//(don't go) i never wanted any body more then i wanted you (i know) the only thing i ever really loved, was hate.//
A searing pain tore through her shoulder, only adding to the pain that ran rampant through her body. Another scream echoed through the empty halls of the castle. None were there to hear the tortured screams that echoed through the halls that soon turned to passionate moans as the monster that was highly sought after took advantage of the aged phoenix in her weakened state, though it's not to say that the little masochist inside of her didn't enjoy it either.
~X~
With a sharp cry, Rin pulled her powers back into herself as she felt that she was no longer needed. She looked down at her now seemingly unharmed sister, a happy smile gracing her features before her eyes rolled back into her head and her collapsed atop her sister.
~X~
What do you think?
