Chapter 94: Constant
Kohaku was an attentive constant for which Sesshoumaru was privately grateful. Except when he would have been grateful for more privacy. He didn’t protest, though. The boy had his own reasons.
He wasn’t fussing or fretting or minding. He wasn’t sheltering Sesshoumaru. He was taking shelter.
Trudging through terrain badly ravaged by grief and regret, Kohaku seemed to have decided that Sesshoumaru represented safe passage.
Which forced Sesshoumaru onto the path of subterfuge.
While the rest slept, he crept.
Silent as a moonbeam, he angled into the miko’s room.
Sure as an assassin, he pressed a hand over her mouth.

I’d be more worried if it wasn’t for the fact he’s being so mindful of Kohaku. Still I sincerely hope this is some sort of “thank you”

I’m still so confused about how many limbs he has… Is it one arm alone?

I was just wondering this as well!

Sesshoumaru has both arms (as per canon, thank you Bakusaiga), but this time Tetsusaiga has robbed him of both legs. I angled the cut below the knees, which permits limited mobility. When he deems it necessary (and there’s no one to see), Sesshoumaru can crawl.

According to the manga, he has both arms by the final battle. Kagome also has blue eyes in the manga, brown eyes in the anime.
How is he maneuvering though. I have created a rather strange vision in my mind’s eye.

I have little doubt that he can be mobile. He is, after all, Sesshomaru. But such a teasing cliffhanger!
