Chapter XXI: Trust

Kagome shifted uncomfortably on her chair, she's barely touched the lunch that Sesshomaru made and it was quite concerning.

"Is there something or someone bothering you?"

The girl blinked as she hear Sesshomaru's voice. Registering the question, she answered, "It's just that there was this news about a dead body found nearby…I got scared because they said that the person died around the same time you two went to your fight club. What if you two got dragged into something on your way home while you're still tired? What if—"

"Kagome, nothing like that could ever happen to us," Naraku said dismissively, sounding far too unconcerned for Kagome's liking.

"But what if—"

"Do you not trust us?"

That shut her up. Of course she trusted them, "…doesn't mean I can't worry…"

Her confession earned her a pinch on her cheek and a ruffling of her hair.
