Chapter 62: Inevitable
Next morning, the bastard’s peevishness increased with the height of the sun, and Inuyasha gave in to the inevitable. He jerked a thumb in the direction Kirara had departed. “Wanna go?”
“Hnn.”
Inuyasha pulled Sesshoumaru onto his back, bouncing to get his balance. His brother’s arms circled his shoulders, brushing his chin with silk and bringing claws close. Without incident.
“Blue, huh?” Inuyasha set off, lengthening his stride until they were bounding. “Kinda thought you’d pick one of the other two. Since they’re red and white.”
“Hnn.”
“Not a bad change.” Inuyasha cleared his throat. “And … you smell nice.”

i’m giggling so much over inuyasha’s compliment. does he even realize it’s kagome’s shampoo?? like i know sometimes things will smell different on different people because of their own underlying natural scent and i imagine sensitive noses would pick up on both? idk but either way it’s precious. all of it. sess worrying and inuyasha giving in and being gentle. just. AAAAA. (also super pumped for your next book!!!)

The line’s an homage to the classic scene in the anime, when (poisoned and half-delirious) Inuyasha compliments Kagome.
Must be some amazing shampoo!

Blue, like the color of Kagome’s eyes, I wonder 😉 😉

Fun Fact: Kagome’s eye color (a topic of much debate in fanon) is one of a handful of things I never commit to in my fanfics.
I also never give InuPapa or SessMom given names.

I actually love that you don’t make up names to give characters who officially don’t have one. Idk it just feels more canon. It’s so cool when the author is smart enough to move around it

Making the effort. On both sides. And a compliment…progress?

…. The fact that Sesshy is worried and Inuyasha is being so accommodating is melting my heart.
