Kagome felt so conflicted that she had taken her purse into her lap and began nervously fiddling with the clasp.
She tried to remember Sesshoumaru as she had known him. Might, power and majesty wrapped in arrogance, with a small dose of compassion. The man sitting next to her was just a shadow of that taiyoukai. On the train when she had felt his aura flare, she couldn't have imagined the small swell of power was all he would have left.
He had given it all up. All to keep a promise he made to her friends. He had tangled with a Kami for her, and at the very spot where he had laid Inuyasha and Shippo to rest in peace, no less.
She felt like hugging him and crying all at the same time.
Kagome smiled as Taka plopped down at her feet, rolling over onto his belly. He thumped his foot on the floor as she scratched him.
"I wasn't expecting anything like that…" she said weakly.
Sesshoumaru hummed noncommittally and continued swiveling his ring around his finger.
"Would you like to see them?" he asked.
Kagome's brow furrowed. "See what?"
"Their graves. Would you like to visit them?"
