Chapter 149: Cold
Kagome waded clumsily up the stairs. Kohaku offered a hand to steady her climb.
Rushing water made it hard to hear, and the guys stood still and silent at the top, giving nothing away. Until they caught up.
Another new color.
The ashen gray of Sesshoumaru’s stripes briefly flared into oranges, like breath across cooling embers, but they quickly returned to a dull pewter.
Understanding left Kagome cold, and Kohaku’s hand tightened around hers.
She’d have to make a note in her book that saturation might indicate the strength of an emotion.
Gray was a lesser grief. This was pity.

This is so sad. I do feel sad for Sesshomaru. So many things happen to him and I am actually glad that Kagome is there to get to know his moods. I am very much looking forward for more.

So orange means pity? I would never have guessed. But I guess pity does count as one of the “warm” emotions. I tends to leave the people it’s directed to feeling could , though

Gray. Kagome has just interpreted gray as pity.
