Chapter 36: Silver and Cold
Kagome stopped inches from Sesshoumaru, her blue eyes never leaving his. Cautiously, she raised her hands between them, undoing the clasp of the necklace. Reaching out to his neck, she paused. "Trust me, please." she breathed out airily. She slipped her arms between his neck and curtain of silver hair, taking as much care as she could to not touch his person. The clasp clicked in place, Kagome held the weight of the beads a moment before allowing them to slide from her finger and around his neck.
As soon as the beads touched his skin, his eyes narrowed at her. In her haste to pull her hands from around his neck, his hair touched her arm, silver and cold. Goosebumps prickled her skin and a chill ran down her spine. What had she done wrong? Why had he looked at her like that? The sound of Rolf's beads hitting the ground distracted her from Sesshoumaru's glare.
"Kagome?!" Lili called out again.
"Yeah?"
"I've said your name like 5 times, you okay?"
Kagome looked quickly back at Sesshoumaru, "Yeah, sorry, I must have spaced out."
"We are ready to leave, com'on."
