Chapter 73: Manageable
Kohaku gasped, eyes wide with dread as they roved the darkness.
Hands reached, and Sesshoumaru could neither understand nor evade their awkward fumbling—a pop to the eye, a scuff to the cheek, a painful tugging at his hair. Never had he been so rudely handled. But then the boy’s arms locked around his neck, and Kohaku was sobbing.
The door slid open, and Inuyasha leaned in. “Oh. Guess you’re handling it.”
Sesshoumaru disagreed. Strongly. But his brother closed the door again. Now what?
He’d manifested fur for draping and … occasional clinging. Rin had liked that.
Could he manage?

Sigh…he is needed and despite his nature he can’t help but comfort in his own way. Grins to Inuyasha for leaving him to it.

I am overwhelmed at how insightful Inuyasha has become. Also, I am still devastated at the magnitude of his loss Rin, Jaken and Ah-Un. He’s had that dragon since he was a child🤨 For a creature with just a mystical beginning, that was a terrible end.
I have followed your stories for a very long time😁

Oh Kohaku. I love how Sesshoumaru is allowing him to be so close for the sake of comfort.
