Chapter 104: Skeptical
"He admitted that it distresses him when you leave his presence?" asked Sango.
"Yes." Kagome twisted her hair in a towel. "Although he used fewer words."
"And you don't think that's strange?"
"Erm… what do you mean?"
"The people he cared about died because he wasn't there." Sango set aside her soap. "Maybe he's afraid it'll happen again."
Kagome hesitated. What color was fear? "I can't picture him afraid."
"I'm just surprised it would take a wish on the Shikon-no-Tama to make him feel what anyone would feel."
"You think he's lying?"
"I think he doesn't like to explain himself."
