Chapter 122: Dissatisfied
Sesshoumaru came to a decision. “You were right.”
“Yeah?” Inuyasha eased him to a seat under an old pine and busied himself gathering kindling.
“About a suitable mount.”
Silvery ears dipped as his brother turned crestfallen. “That bad, huh?”
“To free your arms,” Sesshoumaru sternly countered. “Neither of us can wield Father’s fangs like this.”
Inuyasha’s whole countenance lifted. Soon a small fire blazed. “So… did our old man use poison?”
“My mother’s clan carries the trait.”
He fidgeted. “Speaking of mothers….”
Sesshoumaru braced himself for an awkward exchange.
His brother slowly fed needles into the fire. “New moon’s tonight.”

Sesshomaru handled that very well. I loved this exchange. They have been slowly exchanging little bits of trust with each other. Inuyasha will have to trust him for protection tonight.

I wonder how would Sesshomaru deal with Inuyasha’s change during the new moon.
