Prompt from Stella Mira's Soundtrack Challenge #5: Voices Silently Sing

Kagome could not help but admit in a quiet, small voice, “I am afraid to sleep. I-I worry what I’ll see in my dreams.”

Sesshomaru was surprised by her revelation, then his eyes clouded in self-recrimination, thinking she was remembering her attack in the ningen village and feared replaying the events while unconscious. “You are not alone. This Sesshomaru shall protect your sleep.”

She nodded her head, never doubting that he would not.

Sesshomaru was not accustomed to feeling regret or remorse, but he felt them now, quite strongly. He blamed himself for any nightmares she may have this night.
