Chapter 157: Blue
Sesshoumaru could not. But the risk had been acceptable, given the circumstances.
He lowered himself over Shishi, half-burying the lion-dog in waves of opulent white fur. Establishing a claim. Promising safety.
A whimper.
Kohaku stepped nearer. “Thank you.”
Did he speak for himself or for the beast?
“Your scent is comforting,” added the boy.
Interesting. Did his fur still carry the scent of shampoo? Sesshoumaru sniffed the cowering beast and sneezed at the stink.
A whine.
Sesshoumaru rumbled assurances. Then noticed that Kagome was watching. Cocking his head, he invited comment.
Her only response was nonsensical. “The color of skies.”
