Prompt from Stella Mira’s Soundtrack Challenge #15: Soul of Grief

He wasn’t looking at her.

Though he was physically near—touching her—he had closed himself off from her.

Sesshomaru couldn’t meet the miko’s gaze, but neither could he seem to release her, even though he knew he should get far away from her. She was making him feel things he didn’t want to feel.

Just like Rin.

If he lost the miko, too…

His body shuddered violently at the thought.

Kagome felt his reaction. “Sesshomaru?!” she cried with fear and worry, clutching the fabric at his biceps, and tried to get him to look at her.

He would not.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Aww poor Sesshomaru. It seems he still hasn't gotten over Rin's death. Now he is too afriad to care for another being and have him/her taken from him. If you truly care and/or love someone, you will always fear losing him/her.
