Chapter preview:

Their fall broke in a burst of flame. Her eyes snapped open. One glance at the waves below was enough to make her squeeze them shut. She wasn't even going to ask if he'd thought this through...

Chapter preview:

Her wait was long, restless and mercilessly dull. Her attempts to occupy her mind were less than successful. Distractions were few and fleeting. Sleep was slow and stubborn. She was almost starting to miss Inuyasha by the time she finally drifted off.
 
"Oi."
 
His voice jolted her back to her senses. She glanced up and found him silhouetted in the cave's mouth. There was something large and ungainly slung over his shoulder. Even in the half light it was clear his face was set in its customary scowl...

Chapter preview:

Kagome woke in a haze. A hushed wind whistled in her ears. Unfamiliar bird cries echoed after it, followed by a faint crash of waves. She took in a breath of salt air. The smell lingered in her nose. So she'd made it this far...

Chapter preview:

"Fuck... "
 
Inuyasha's fists tightened. The girl gazed down at him as if he was no more than a bug. His instincts screamed at him to back away. No flames sprang to his fists. His muscles had turned to ice.
 
Leave her.

The voice rang deep in his head. It was enough to make his bones shudder. Was this really that Avatar girl? He forced his jaw to unclench...

Chapter preview:

"Tsubaki... " Kaede's face was drawn with horror. "But... how?"
 
Tsubaki cast her a sideways glance. "Ah, Kaede. Older but none the wiser, I see." She turned back to Kagome. "I believe we have some unfinished business, Avatar."
 
"W-we?" Her tongue stumbled over the word.
 
"Oh, Kikyou and I go back a long way, as I'm sure you're more than aware..."

Chapter preview:

The steps reached as far as Inuyasha's eyesight. Which wasn't all that much further than his fingertips. His shoulders slumped. He cast a quick glance over the pit. A few more hours of this and he'd be tempted to take the easy way out.
 
Kagura wasn't about to give him the chance. She hadn't given them so much as a breathing space once they'd taken care of the guards. Focus on the mission: that was her answer to everything. As if he had any other choice. At least he wouldn't be leaving empty-handed this time...

Chapter preview:

The night was a whirlwind. Her eyes sought answers. They found only chaos. Her ears were full of screams. Her lungs were choked with ashes. The shattered tree and the bleeding moon were the only constants.
 
The chaos stilled in a heartbeat. A lone figure emerged from the darkness. His face was a mask of shadows. They shifted as he took a step towards the light...

Chapter preview:

He woke to the crack of ice. A thin beam of lantern light and a soft mutter dashed his hopes of a full night's sleep. Just what he needed: more visitors. Even a backwater like this must have better shit to do. He squinted a glare through the bars.
 
His nose made out the newcomer before his eyes: a woman swathed in feathers and fur. Her own scent was almost drowned by the reek of incense. Another gawker from the temple. As if the Avatar hadn't pestered him enough. He leaned back against his chains and settled into a determined silence...

Chapter preview:

The rest of the island had paid surprisingly little mind to her absence. There was a festival to be had, after all. The whole temple was wrapped up in the preparations. Even the Avatar was only a passing distraction. Her return brought her no more than a few waves, smiles and glances. 
 
That was a relief, if nothing else. No one would question an extra training session with Kaede. Especially not when there were games and songs and dances to be had elsewhere. Strange how the festival's bustle was almost relaxing after the tunnel's closeness. Then again, she'd take any relief she could get after that meeting.
 
Of course, it was all too short. As her escort skirted the corner of the main courtyard, she was met by a rush of voices.  
 
"Kagome!"
 
Her friends burst through the crowd. They skidded to a breathless halt before the guards' spears. She waved them down.
 
"It's okay, guys. They're my friends."
 
The guards lowered their spears a fraction. They still kept them at a good length.
 
Eri was the first to break the awkward silence. "It's Akitoki."

Chapter preview:

The path beneath the temple was cold as death and near as dark. The guards' lanterns did little to relieve the gloom. Kagome's feet were lost in the shadows. If it wasn't for the frozen rope strung along the wall they'd have all lost their way long ago.
 
She threaded her way forwards, drawing her cloak tighter against the chill. A precious few feet stood between her and the gaping chasm below. Her eyes remained fixed on the trail. She'd chosen this path. She just prayed she had the courage to stick to it...

Chapter preview:

Kagome was the first student to arrive at the training grounds the next morning. She'd spent a full hour on mediation and breathing exercises after breakfast. She'd picked out her own clothes and topped them off with Ayumi's spare parka. She was armed with a clear head, a full stomach and - no small thanks to Kaede - ten hours of blissfully dreamless sleep. Nothing was going to stand in her way...

Amaruq came for her at moonrise. Tsubaki was the first to whisper of his arrival. The whispers had grown to a clamour by the time he reached Master Lusa's tent. He stilled it with a single phrase.

Chapter preview:

Kagome stared wordless at Nanashi. He stared back, an eye of calm in the storm threatening to erupt around her. His headband had been tossed aside in the commotion. His bangs fluttered back from his face. She couldn't take her eyes from the arrow emblazoned on his forehead.
 
She clutched the root to steady herself. Her other hand was still clapped to her mouth. She lowered it to her side and took a few deep breaths.
 
"You. You're a monk."
 
"That I am," he agreed.

Chapter preview:

"K-Kikyou?!" Kagome started in disbelief. "You can't be-"
 
"Playing the fool? Really." The creature shook her head. She leaned closer still, her lower arms grasping the trunk. "And here I was looking forward to our little reunion."
 
Kagome backed away. She bumped into a root and flinched. "L-listen, okay? I'm not-"
 
"Not in the mood?" The monster gave a tut. "Oh, I know you better than that."
 
"You don't know me at-"
 
"Oh Kikyou." The monster gave a throaty chuckle. The tree groaned in anguish as her claws dug into its trunk. "I have missed you."

Chapter preview:

"Kagome! Get down!"
 
Akitoki's cry was her only warning.
