Prompt from Stella Mira's Soundtrack Challenge #7: Tears of the Blade

Something was wrong, Kagome knew. Sesshomaru was acting strange, well strange for him. His hold was too tight, almost desperate, and he refused to let her see his face.

He was hiding from her.

The realization brought tears to her eyes. Even now, in his time of great sorrow, this warrior did not put down his sword. Ever the fighter, forever alone.

Not any longer if she had any say about it. She lifted her cold hand to touch the arm encircling her waist. How was she to reach him? To defeat his warrior’s shell? Somehow, she had to try.
