Chapter 26: Empathy

As they passed the only room Kagome recognized, Sesshomaru hesitated and gave a sideways glance towards the crayon colored door. His depressed exterior did not go unnoticed. Kagome understood his feelings because she too was a mother. Shippo had been away at the kitsune school for quite some time and every time he would visit, he'd seem older and more mature. Kagome couldn't help but feel like he was growing up without her.

She placed a comforting hand on Sesshomaru's shoulder. His eyes, noticing the touch, softened briefly, but soon shrugged her hand off returning to his cold apathetic self.
