Chapter 31: Guard Duty

Sesshoumaru rose from the steaming pool, grateful to be rid of the miko’s scent, if only for a short time. He dried with care, gathering aside damp hair in order to shrug into his foundation garment. Holding it shut, he stepped out to check on his new attendant. Kagome had propped Tenseiga on her shoulder, but her head drooped to one side as she dozed. That she had adopted Inuyasha’s usual pose didn’t escape him. Neither did the fact that the legendary Fang of Heaven thrummed in time with the woman’s heartbeat. Power calls to power? That was probably it.
