InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Kagome's Mini Adventure ❯ Ritual ( Chapter 5 )

Ritual.

Sesshoumaru examined the shrunken Miko carefully, making Kagome shift from foot to foot; she now knew what the lame pigeon felt like as the hungry cat stalked it.

“I have heard of such shrinking before,” he surmised “but a ritual is needed to undo it.”

“Where are my friends?”

“It is possible that the miasma was only intended to affect you; Naraku simply removed the others.”

“And Tetsaiga?”

“The sword is far more powerful than Naraku; it desired to stay with you who needed it most.”

He extended one claw tipped hand and she glanced at it dubiously.

“Come,” he instructed, giving no room for argument.

Closing her eyes tightly, she stepped from the rock and into his palm, placing her life quite literally in his hands.
