Prompt from Stella Mira's Soundtrack Challenge #5: Storm and Fire

Sesshomaru was a silent presence beside her, deep in thought. He was angry at himself for allowing the miko to come to harm. He should have realized sending her alone in a ningen settlement with only his clothes covering her slight frame would be a beckon for trouble. Many would view it as a gesture of ownership, but with her seemingly alone, they might mistake her for a harlot without protection and feel free to take what they wanted from her.

His efforts to aid the miko had, instead, put her in harm’s way. How could she not blame him?

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Aww looks like not only does Kagome think Sesshomaru blames her for Rin's passing, but Sesshomaru thinks Kagome blames him for what happened to her in the village. Misundertsandings happen all the time and rarely do people speak what's on their mind when clouded by negativity.
