Chapter 156: Bereft
Inuyasha grit his teeth and forced the hasp and lifted away the heavy collar.
Shishi immediately shuffled to the calcined bones of his dead partner.
“How long?” whispered Kagome.
“Too long.” Inuyasha frowned. “Oi, Kohaku. We’re not that far from your village. You didn’t know this was here?”
“No. I can check records.”
Next, Shishi tottered to Sesshoumaru. Either he prostrated himself, or he’d simply run out of strength.
Kagome asked, “Shouldn’t he heal, now that the chain’s off?”
“He needs time to regain strength.” Kohaku nodded significantly toward both canines.
Oh, hells. “Oi, bastard. Can you even change back?”
