Chapter 32: Bitter
The kit still hovered nearby, and Sesshoumaru thrust out a hand for the water. More so the boy would tend to the miko than to rinse away the medicine’s bitter tang.
She watched him down the cup’s contents and edged closer. “I could try giving you back your legs.”
Did she actually think that would please him? Jaken would have understood. Rin had always known. “I do not want my legs back.”
“You … don’t?” She drooped. “Of course you don’t.”
“But why?” asked the kit.
“They are gone.” Sesshoumaru immediately regretted his words. Saying so meant it was true.

The loss in this chapter is palpable. I especially loved the line about Jaken and Rin. Very painful stuff. Well done, as always.
