Chapter 11: Lucid

When Sesshoumaru's eyes opened, Kagome called, "Miroku-sama?"

"Ah!" The monk hurried to their patient's side. "Do you remember what happened, Sesshoumaru-sama? Although night has fallen, this is the same day on which you were injured."

He didn't react, and Kagome found that bleak indifference worrisome. Hurry back, Inuyasha. Your brother needs his … his family.

Sesshoumaru tried to rise.

Miroku lent an arm. "Forgive the familiarity."

Growls. Pushing. Sesshoumaru tried to kick off the blanket.

"Wait!" Kagome scrambled forward. Someone should tell …

Too late.

In the sudden stillness, she saw his face when he discovered his loss. Both legs.
