[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]
I don't own squat
Unforeseen circumstances…
Kikyo walked steadily, towards the fluctuations of power off in the distance. Her senses having picked up the presence of Naraku, or at least one of his minions. The undead priestess was prepared to fight, to save, or to even kill if need be. Especially if the winner is this abomination of sorts…
Someone with both the powers of a miko and a priest all rolled into one? Well they could set themselves up anywhere into a veritable God…
That must NOT happen…
Her footsteps swift, as her soul gatherers fly on ahead, the undead priestess moves fast towards that fluctuating energy. Her mind set on one thing…
Destroy that which is awakening…
Back with Taro…
Hearing the laughter coming from inside the mirror, that the child holds. Taro moves to think fast as the girl starts whispering in her soft emotionless voice.
“Give me your soul…”
“Don't even think about it!” Taro mentioned with deadly softness. His power growing now at an exponential rate as his emotions skyrocket. Thinking fast Taro bends down and punches into the ground, the energy surging from his body shoots out into every direction around him.
He knows that the mirror can not reflect them all at once…
Still it stuns him as the mirror seems to expand in the little girl's arms to encompass her entire body…
“Mirror protect…”
From all directions his attack strikes. The mirror absorbs them all as before, taking the dark energy into its shiny surface. And to Taro's surprise, it starts to shimmer, as it shrinks back into the child demon's hands.
“Mirror reflect…”
Once again his own power is turned back on him, but this time as it shoots towards him. Taro feels something different emerging in the recesses of his mind. Feeling as these words scream through his mind in a blinding fire, Taro starts chanting them first in his head and then with his voice and his hands.
Spirits of the dead
Hear my call
Blessed by the Gods
Protected by the souls of ages
Shatter this foul mirror
And restore all to rights!
As the words escape his lips, all time seems to stop.
Well rhetorically speaking it does. The dark energy that had been turned back on him, is frozen in mid air. Crackling still with intense power and malice, one can see from the heavens as it begins to pulse with an intense glow. Next is what surprises both the child demon and the young man fighting…
The energy begins to split in two it seems, for unknowingly Taro had chanted a spell that meant death to someone that was once dear to many.
For the purpose of a mirror was ones reflection, one's image in another object…down to a tee…
Sometimes a mirror, could also be referred to one's identical twin…
Minutes later, Taro walks off curious as does Kanna. The mirror that she holds is fine and restored, for in the moment that the dark energy hit. A counter was given by her Master and a barrier unlike any other Taro came across shielded her.
“This is indeed interesting…” The voice chuckled as he whisked Kanna away, for her own protection, for something else had caught his eye.
Out of habit, Naraku had set a series of his demon insects to follow the undead priestess and report back to him anything that should happen to her. And it has just reported something that made him smile…
For where Kikyo once stood… a woman who was a mirror image of the one who kept company with Inuyasha at this moment. The woman whom he had loved and hated off an on since his `birth'.
There was now nothing but ash…
Where the dark energy had failed on one target it succeeded inadvertently with the other…
Kikyo, the true mirror image of Kagome. The one whose soul she feasted upon in her quest for revenge, and whose soul now floated back to its owner at top speed. Was dead…the wrongs she had done to them set right…
