Chapter 36: Catching Whispers
Sesshoumaru strolled away without a backward glance, and she followed at a respectful distance. Small groups of inu-youkai occupied garden paths and gilded porches, and every eye turned to follow their progress. Whispers hissed on every side, but no one made a move to greet Sesshoumaru... which seemed strange to Kagome. Under all that predatory curiosity, her cheeks flushed, but she kept her chin up. Jaken would strut. Rin would skip. I will not slink. Fixing her eyes on the Sesshoumaru's straight back, she gave all her attention to the one demon in the castle who preferred to ignore her.
