Chapter 30: Terrible
Sesshoumaru’s gaze shifted from the seductive glimmer of the Jewel dangling before his nose and the woman holding it there.
“I can’t do as I please. My whole life comes down to duty and consequences.”
Duty to what? To the Shikon-no-Tama?
The miko’s voice tightened. “I need to wish away the monkey’s paw.”
He blinked.
“An old story about a relic that could grant any wish, but always at a terrible price.”
“Hnn.”
“I think Kikyo never figured out how to wish it away. So she enshrined it, defended it, and took it with her into the next life. Me.”

lowkey imagining sess as a dog who wants to chase the flashlight/laser pointer. oops, lol. just like… she moves it to the left and his nose follows it. she moves it to the right and his nose follows it.

A little interest shown. I can see the RCA dog head lean at the Monkeys Paw reference. And a Cliffie just to keep us hanging. Ugh…Kikyou, I felt bad for her but her rigid adherence to rules showed a lack of imagination about dealing with that stone. Wonderful update, Thanks so much.
