Chapter 25: Naked Truths

The night was half spent by the time Kagome discovered just how many buckles, loops, and knots kept Sesshoumaru's life together. Once she managed to wrestle him out of his armor, which was so heavy, she literally staggered under its weight, he sat so she could remove his boots. At his nod, she divested him of his socks as well. "You have feet!" she murmured in awe.

"Hnn."

"Well, of course you have feet," she muttered defensively. "But... toes!"

He grimaced inwardly, knowing what she meant. She'd stripped away enough of his facade to notice what few ever saw. Vulnerabilities.
