Prompt from Stella Mira's Soundtrack Challenge #5: Prove Yourself

She wanted to redeem herself in this demon lord’s eyes, to prove to him that she was not useless, especially in times when she was called upon to act. The sense of accomplishment she had felt after Sesshomaru’s praise in her efforts to defend herself no longer felt like a victory. Surely he thought of her as another weak ningen, regretted coming to her to aid Rin instead of someone more knowledgeable, more worthy.

She still did not know why he came to her that night, but he had, and she had let him down. She, too, grieved Rin’s passing.
