Chapter 18: Woken
Shippo knew it was stupid, knew he might die trying. But he also knew what it was like.
On stealthy fox paws, he went to where they’d put Sesshoumaru. Kohaku’s bedroll was closest to the injured demon, but the older boy had given in to exhaustion.
The kitsune daringly pressed his hand to the moon on Sesshoumaru’s forehead. Cold with sweat. Gasping awake. Thudding heart. Nothing there.
Shippo dipped and wrung, draping the cloth to mask those shattered eyes. And began a half-remembered rhythm of petting and patting to keep the nightmares away. Because he knew what it was like.

Oh that is so sad and sweet of Shippou. I was thinking that he might curl up with his pack alpha but this is comforting too.
