Prompt from Stella Mira’s Soundtrack Challenge #18 Last Words

“Sesshomaru?”

Sesshomaru heard the uncertainty in her voice, saw it in her eyes, and he knew she was aware of his changed mood. It mattered not. He hardened his heart, encased it with his usual indifference and calm. He had been a fool to allow her past his guard; he knew that now.

In order to keep her safe, they had to part ways.

Setting her aside, forcing himself to let her go, he said without infliction, “It is time for you to return to Inuyasha, miko.”

Her eyes widened before hurt and confusion entered her eyes.

His spine stiffened.
