Chapter 23: Broken
Inuyasha had no doubt Sesshoumaru could fend off a flock of crows, even flat on his back. But it had been a mistake thinking the bastard had his back. “Are you even trying?”
Sesshoumaru’s gaze wavered. “She is in the way.”
An excuse?
Shippo made excuses. Hell, even Miroku made excuses. But Sesshoumaru’s reasons were his own. At least, they used to be.
Things were messed up. Upside-down. Backwards. Broken.
So Inuyasha crouched beside his sulking, suffering bastard of a half-brother and said something he’d secretly wished to hear back when he was a runt. “I’m here now. I’ll stay.”

Ahhh…Inuyasha being the grownup! I love that. Sending him lots of love. Sigh…it’s going to take Sessh awhile to climb off that pity pot. Thanks for the lovely update.

I am beginning to wonder if Sesshoumaru subconsciously hoped not to survive Tessaiga’s blast. He knew that everything he valued (loved) was gone. He did not attempt to protect his own life from the crows, only Kagome’s.
