Prompt from Stella Mira’s Soundtrack Challenge #15: Doubt & Trust
“If you are not interested in him, explain to me what was transpiring here,” Sesshomaru demanded, while looking straight at Kagome. “The scent of arousal emanates from the both of you, miko.”
Akahito answered before she could. “What transpired between us, stays between us.”
Kagome hesitated, knowing that Akahito didn’t want Sesshomaru to know of his weakness. She couldn’t betray Akahito’s trust.
“I would never lie to you, Sesshomaru. Nothing was going to happen between Akahito and I. He’s not even the one I want, and I’d never settle for less.”
Though doubt lingered, Sesshomaru decided to believe in her.
