So close, Kagura's pain was all the more apparent. So much pain. More than when Yomi had known her, deeper. Wounds that bled harder.
How much do you hurt, Kagura? How much did I hurt you?
Yomi's eyes stayed fixed on the other's face while she talked, describing events Yomi didn't know. Mitogawa had finally met his end, had he? She bet he'd been pleased to have had the sesshouseki brought together. Had that been his plan after she'd... Before?
And in the end, the nine-tailed fox had been summoned, like in the legends...?
A flicker of something passed through Yomi's eyes at the word resurrection. The sesshouseki was a warm purr, but a feeling of cold struck her deep in the core of her soul, only adding to the storm. No... No, Kagura, no. Broken. This girl was so broken; the sesshouseki could recognize it, too, as it could recognize weakness in everyone. Was this really what happened in the future? Kagura didn't let go... Bringing her back to life, no! Meaningless exorcisms, no! What was this Yomi was hearing?
All for Yomi? That was...
The world should just disappear! Why? Why the same sentiment Yomi had felt? The same sentiment the sesshouseki had preyed on? Her failure, the cause of all those deaths, brought about by her hand? Yomi hadn't needed a world that had taken her loved ones away from her, and it'd resulted in... Sorrow, desperation, all led to hate. Hate led to... Hate led to the monster Yomi had become. Hate was the Kyuubi's lifeblood.
Pain struck Yomi; she grit her teeth, head bowed. Her own hands snapped up, clasping at Kagura's shoulders with brutal strength. And the stone that'd lurked in her body for so long began to come into sight on her forehead, a nightmare given form. Its light was sinister. "Kagura..." she bit out. There was too much for the sesshouseki to keep at bay. Yomi's fingers clenched tighter. "You're still Kagura, aren't you...? I can feel... that power in you." Such a malignant power. Corrupting and destroying, a thousand times worse than what Yomi held in her. Kagura hadn't...? Kagura wasn't...?
The idea that Kagura had used that unimaginable source of evil, had turned to it like Yomi had...
