Chapter 10: Old Dog

Kagome shivered, for the air at these heights was thin and cold. Sesshoumaru noticed and, with a beleaguered sigh, demanded, "Hold onto my armor." She did so, freeing his hand, and to her surprise, he pulled the trailing end of his fur thing forward, wrapping it around her.

"Thanks," she murmured. "So... are we going somewhere?"

"Yes."

"Is it far?"

"Yes."

"Will there be demonesses there?" she guessed.

"Yes."

"Sesshoumaru-sama?" Kagome inquired, frustration sharpening her otherwise respectful tone.

"Hnn."

"Don't you think you should explain things to me?"

"...Yes."

She gazed expectantly into his face, but he stolidly ignored her.
