Prompt from Stella Mira’s Soundtrack Challenge #14: Fear

Fear for Sesshomaru’s well-being surfaced.

“How could you leave him there? With that deranged woman? What if he’s hurt?! Damn you, Akahito!”

She tried to jerk away, but he restrained her.

“Wait, please. You don’t understand.”

“Then make me understand!”

Trying to come up with a way to diffuse her anger, to make her listen, to get ahold of her emotions and think logically, he said, “He killed my half-sister, Saya.”

That got her attention. She froze, not comprehending.

“What? When? I don’t understand.”

“She was there, at the castle. Lord Sesshomaru took her life.”

“Surely he had good reason.”
