Hymn 14

~oOo~

Inuyasha stepped into a world of storm-lashed night; he could literally feel Kagome everywhere around him.  

Flashes of lightening, and he'd see her eyes, a terrible look in them that cut him like a knife.  Then darkness, then he'd hear her telling him to run away and leave her because she didn't have control of her body, and didn't want to hurt him.

Another flash of lightening – a conglomeration of all the times she'd watch his back as he walked away to go to Kikyou passed in front of his eyes.

He suddenly realized he was seeing her memories, and his heart sank; was she already fully integrated into the jewel?  Was there truly no more Kagome to save, to rescue and bring home?

“No!”  he screamed into the darkness.  “No!  I won't accept that!  I'll never accept that!”  

With that, he began to search, frantically moving through endless space that all looked the same.  He quickly became drenched by the downpour...

One that, funnily enough, was salty, rather than fresh.

What kind of rain was salty?
