Prompt from Stella Mira’s Soundtrack Challenge #11: Hesitation

Sesshomaru hesitated where he stood, watching as Akahito offered his arm to Kagome, before they walked away, leaving him behind—alone.

He had a strong impulse to go after them, to tear the miko from Akahito’s side, and take them both away from this castle. He remembered how it had been, having the miko’s undivided attention as they traversed the countryside. He wanted to return to that strange comradery, needed that closeness he just now realized they had shared. The gulf between them now seemed vaster than any physical distance, and he resented it, despised that he felt this way.
