Chapter 63: Carried

Inuyasha set a brisk pace, searching the skies from every hilltop.

Sesshoumaru sighed.

“You got something to say?”

“What is your hurry?”

“Nothing, I guess.” He checked his stride.

The bastard slowly relaxed.

“You were always walking,” Inuyasha remarked. “How come you walked so much?”

The answer came slowly. “There was no hurry.”

“Kagome took a while to get used to it … all the walking, I mean. I still carry her like this.”

Eventually, Sesshoumaru said, “I keep listening for harnesses.”

Inuyasha grunted sympathetically. “All we really gotta do is listen for Kagome. I can always hear her voice.”
