Chapter 172: Shared

Sesshoumaru looked away, striking his best do-as-you-please pose. Much as Kohaku had done, Kagome crawled closer, dragging her blanket along. Not to be left out, Shishi scuffled closer, sharing his warmth.

He … approved.

After a time, Sesshoumaru went so far as to lower himself to the ground, dragging his hair through who-knew-what. Because it afforded him a better view of the stars.

Kohaku edged closer, his back flush against Sesshoumaru’s side. Understandable. The night was cool by human standards. So when Kagome burrowed against him, there was precedent. And confirmation.

She was still indiscriminately touching him.

He … approved.
