Chapter 125: Remembered
“That okay?” Inuyasha checked.
Sesshoumaru still had him by the sleeve, rubbing absently at the sturdy fire-rat. “This belonged to Father.”
“Oh. Yeah.” What else could he say? “Myoga told me.”
“Hnn.” And more softly, “I remember it.”
Inuyasha found there was even less to say. Not one thing.
Sesshoumaru seemed lost in thought. “He wanted to protect you.”
For many years, these clothes had been Inuyasha’s only shelter, his only shield. But they’d never seemed like much of an inheritance. Just leftovers. Scraps for the mongrel.
His brother blinked. “He may have been trying to protect you from me.”
