Chapter 74: Regaining
Father had towered over the rank and file of demons, an indomitable strength that had never turned on Sesshoumaru. Only now, long years after the Inu no Taishou’s demise, had one son learned how deep a fang could bite.
Tetsusaiga had rent flesh, cleaved bone, and torn at the very essence of Sesshoumaru’s soul.

Sesshoumaru wasn’t sure which surprised him more—that he’d actually regained enough youki to manifest a scant puff of fur, or that the boy presumed to treat the gleaming proof of his reviving strength like a pillow.
It wasn’t entirely unpleasant—clinging.

Strength can be measured in many different ways. Sometimes a perceived ‘weakness’ is the greatest strength we have.
