Chapter 104: Skeptical
“He admitted that it distresses him when you leave his presence?” asked Sango.
“Yes.” Kagome twisted her hair in a towel. “Although he used fewer words.”
“And you don’t think that’s strange?”
“Erm… what do you mean?”
“The people he cared about died because he wasn’t there.” Sango set aside her soap. “Maybe he’s afraid it’ll happen again.”
Kagome hesitated. What color was fear? “I can’t picture him afraid.”
“I’m just surprised it would take a wish on the Shikon-no-Tama to make him feel what anyone would feel.”
“You think he’s lying?”
“I think he doesn’t like to explain himself.”

Of course not! That would involve the possibility of being understood! 🤣🤣 Much better to be cryptic and keep everyone on edge. I’m feeling very spoiled right now. Lovely update. Thank you!

Anyone who’s ever lost someone they care about can understand THAT fear and the need to keep someone close. It may be the FIRST time that Sesshoumaru has ever come up against that particular emotion and it’s confusing and unsettling to deal with; and not ONLY for him. Seeing HIM that way is going to be just as confusing and unsettling to the rest of the group, I’m sure! Going to be interesting!
