Chapter 64: Familiar
Sesshoumaru withdrew into silence, perturbed as much with himself as with Inuyasha. He had all but admitted missing Ah-Un. Why? He didn’t want his brother’s sympathy.
If only Inuyasha didn’t remind him so much of Father. Some quality of scent. His sure grip. The same gruff affection lurking behind each smile.
For a while, Sesshoumaru traded one grief for another. Far easier to withstand the pain of old wounds. Memories stirred. Hadn’t Father carried him like this? His arms tightened reflexively.
“Anything?” asked Inuyasha.
Sesshoumaru pointed.
Ears pricked. “Keh. Satisfied?”
“Hnn.”
“Back, then?”
Mostly to be contrary, Sesshoumaru said, “Forward.”

I love every time that an author brings up Inuyasha and Inu-no-taisho similarities. If it’s Sesshoumaru noticing them, even better ❤

Haven’t they been travelling since God-knows-when?
Why isn’t a daiyoukai like Sesshoumaru healing faster? Why didn’t Tenseiga protect him? Why did he not use Bakusaiga at the beginning? That sword was instrumental in killing off Naraku in the manga and anime.
Your stories are usually so logical. I fail to follow the logic of this tale that is akin to that meandering novel by Faulkner.

I love how its just hints. Nothing on the nose, if you forgive the pun. It always engages the reader to “add” the rest. Love it.
