As the days grew lighter, Kagome only seemed to grow heavier. In body, in spirit. She felt tired all the time. Her back ached, her head ached. The smallest exertions left her feeling drained. At night she struggled to find a comfortable sleeping position and woke up feeling about as rested as she had when

SessKag Series: The Pact, Part 46
As Sesshoumaru disappeared into the trees, Kagome crushed fistfuls of melty snow to her face, trying as best as she could to scrub the blood from her skin. Her mouth, cheeks and chin were so numb after a few attempts she couldn’t tell whether she was making any progress or not. Her frozen hands were
SessKag Series: The Pact, Part 45
Kagome’s mind went frightfully blank. When she came to herself again, her hands and face were smeared with blood. There was nothing left of the organs but a rusty stain in the snow.

SessKag Series: The Pact, Part 44
After Inuyasha left, Kagome paced around the hut. She tried to keep her restlessness under wraps. Just a few more hours, she told herself, and then she’d get some relief.

SessKag Series: The Pact, Part 43
There was a gnawing inside her that just wouldn’t stop. A hunger that had been growing increasingly more voracious over the past few weeks. Now Kagome couldn’t seem to get any reprieve from it, no matter how much she ate nor how often. She felt weak and restless all at once. Even after eating twice
Seasons of Life, Part 15 (Final) – Spring
“Well, Mother, I must say I thought you were mad to buy back this old place, but as usual you’ve proven me wrong.” Casting her daughter a smile, Sumire strolled with her through the blooming courtyards, repaved and replanted for the season. Children ran by them as they went, laughing and playing in the warmth
The Guardian
In the glade he knelt before the pillar of stone. The leaves overhead dappled it in shadow so that it seemed paley to glow through the veil of dark that touched it. Mayhaps it did, he thought, lit from below by what embers of spirit yet clung to the ashes it housed. Or mayhaps he
