"talking" 'thinking'
26. Discouraged
Kagome wandered aimlessly through the city while Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru trailed her silently from rooftops and alley ways.
She was accosted by several muggers and various deviants, who paid dearly, but Naraku made no appearances.
She returned to the apartment, exhausted and discouraged.
"Perhaps he's somehow thrown away his human heart," she murmured. "He wouldn't need to come after me anymore."
"Not out of some form of twisted love, no. Revenge, maybe." Inuyasha thought aloud.
Sesshoumaru frowned, disheveled. This was getting to him, his instincts screamed to keep her safe, not parade her through the streets at night.
"Once more."
