Chapter 10: Good Morning
Kagomaru held very still as he opened his eyes. The demoness stared down her nose at him; her lack of any obvious anger might have been reassuring but for the prickle of claws at his throat. “Erm… good morning,” he offered. “You seem… better?”
Her nostrils quivered.
“I should explain. I was hunting, and I missed. Well, actually… I hit you.”
Her fingers tightened, and he bit his lip.
“Release me.”
Kagomaru blinked in confusion, then realized what she meant. He unclenched his fist. As the demoness straightened, his fingers combed through silky hair. An instant later, she was gone.
