Chapter 147: Impatient
Miroku sat up a little straighter. “May I ask why?”
Sesshoumaru’s eyebrow arched.
Kagome studied the hue of his stripes. Impatient. Interested. But not annoyed.
Inuyasha grumbled something, and Miroku backpedaled. “Certainly, Sesshoumaru-sama.”
With a smile to acknowledge the villagers in his audience, he spun out a simplified version of their history with the Jewel.
Sesshoumaru cut in. “What are the Four Souls?”
“Ah, yes!” Miroku raised four fingers. “The Shikon-no-Tama was said to embody four attributes. Courage. Friendship. Wisdom. Love.”
Old news. Kagome had memorized these details long ago.
But all color faded from Sesshoumaru’s markings. Shock? Or… recognition?

Original thought was “the souls have inhabited individual people!!” But then I don’t know how the stripes tie into that 😂 Since it seems Kagome’s the only one who can see the changes, but Sesshoumaru and Kohaku were also somehow “changed”… I wonder what they’re experiencing? Is it Sesshoumaru’s inability to be away from Kagome for long??? Aiee…..

I’m thinking Kagome is the only one who can see the color change. Inuyasha and Kohaku are very in tune to his moods. Kohaku even more so…perhaps he can see or feel them. What is it about the jewel that has caused him to pale.
