Chapter 7: Fighting Spirit
“Can we keep her?” asked Souta.
“No, dear,” Mama replied. “Youkai have wild hearts. She’ll want go as soon as she’s able.”
“The bleeding hasn’t stopped,” Kagomaru noted worriedly.
“I’m sure the arrow is interfering. It’ll have to come out.” Shaking her head, Mama explained, “I laced that milk with something to help her sleep; although, I’m not sure it works on youkai.”
The demoness’s fingers twitched, her claws catching in the fabric of Kagomaru’s shirt. She’s definitely fighting it! Determined to protect his family, he snapped, “Stay back! Once I break the seal… I dunno. Hopefully, she’ll forgive me.”

It’s been interesting, trying to balance Kagome’s teenaged temper & her compassionate heart in a grown man. ::twinkle::
