ch7.3
“Aderyn-sama? What’s going on? I feel strange!” Kagome withdrew her hand and the vortex abruptly died, the aura tendrils that Aderyn had begun to pull free were sucked back in.
“Can you feel my aura, Kotori?”
Kagome pressed a hand to her forehead again, “I... I think so.” Kagome focused on the ‘flapping’ sound she heard within her head, allowing its tempo to reach a deafening ring, “It’s so loud... it sounds like a giant bird!”
Aderyn laughed, “That’s my beast you’re hearing. Daft bird. I tend to call her Hinadori, much to her dismay.”
Kagome giggled and nodded as the ‘flapping’ droned into a soft background noise, “Is it always going to be this loud?”
“No, she’s being showy, for your benefit. Ignore her and she’ll quiet down.”
“If... if I can hear your beast... what do I sound like to you?” Kagome wondered, looking into the bicolored eyes of the raven.
“You have two sounds in your soul. The sound of tinkling, like glass hitting the floor after it breaks and the soft flap of an eagles wings. Which is odd, considering everything.”
“An Eagle wing? You can tell that by a sound? Why is that odd?”
“As a bird, I can identify one by their wingbeats unless its one like me, a crossbreed. It’s odd, because as a human you should only have one soul beat.” Aderyn frowned, then shook her head. “Anyway, I want to you to connect part of your aura, a very small part ,mind you, to part of mine.”
Kagome looked at her nervously. “Connect, why?”
“Because that way we can communicate while I am in beast form.” Aderyn covered her green eye, studying her with the gold eye.
“What are you doing?” Kagome asked curiously.
“Each of my eyes has a different ability. My left eye can see magic lines, between places and people and my right can see auras and emotions. Now remember what I said? Take a pinch of your aura and meld into a pinch of my aura.”
