With These Two Arms
Starlight glinted off steel; by appearances alone the Explosive Fang was worthy of the title.
Sesshomaru balanced Bakusaiga in his new left arm. What better a way to wield a new symbol of his power than to use a fresh limb?
Not that he had ever needed his left arm again, Sesshomaru had managed quite well with his right, but it proved a convenience in the same manner Bakusaiga was.
Two arms – one of destruction and one for…that other sword.
Treading back to where his companions slept for the evening, the daiyokai nearly smiled at his newly realized tremendous power.
Power to be wielded with these two arms.
Yet at the dog-demon's expounding thoughts no one stirred. Rin rolled over, still dreaming, and that was all.
Until she mumbled something unintelligible; then her brow crinkled and a few beads of sweat raced pass her cheek.
A nightmare?
Abruptly as they came, Rin's whimpers evaporated, smothered by rich fur. There was comfort in the embrace that now held her, unused to giving it as the cradler was. But the sense of protection was present, resonating with gentleness and warmth.
The little girl was lulled back into peaceful slumber as the soft murmurs crooned in her ear. A promise perhaps? A promise of warmth, safety, or…love?
With these two arms.
