Prompt from Stella Mira’s Soundtrack Challenge #15: Looming Crisis

“Sesshomaru, please talk to me,” she said desperately. “Tell me what’s wrong.”

Kagome gazed up into his angelic face, seeing strain tighten his facial features…and…sadness?

“I can’t do this,” he whispered gruffly.

Sesshomaru couldn’t allow this slip of a woman—this human—to mean so much to him. He couldn’t bear it if he lost her too.

Even so, after his tortured utterance, he wrapped her tightly in his arms, cupped the back of her head in his large palm, as if he would never let go, thought he must.  

Kagome didn’t understand his anguish, but his pain was undeniable.
