Chapter 88: Combination
Guided by Miroku, Kagomaru concentrated on infusing the monk’s talisman with spiritual energy. The last time he’d drawn on this power, it had been for the arrow that wounded Sesshoume. Now, he needed to tap that same wellspring to bring her father to heel.
Daunting. Possibly disrespectful. Yet when the oncoming demon slammed against their barrier with a startled yelp, Kagomaru grinned.
“That went well.” Miroku gave him a considering look. “Very well indeed. My friend, would you be interested in a future partnership?”
“Erm… maybe.” Kagomaru’s elation faltered as a growl shook the trees. “If we have a future.”

Yeesh, sorry, sorry. I was supposed to post this on Friday, but I was distracted by that all-consuming focus that comes when an End Is In Sight. That original story I keep nattering on about is in its final phase, so it has most of my attention these days.
More soon! ::twinkle::
