Chapter 182: Unified

While Kagome sloshed about, Sesshoumaru sat drying before the fire. She'd provided a blanket, and he drew it up around his shoulders.

Kohaku quietly asked, "Drool?"

He offered a halfhearted, "Hnn."

Gesturing to Shishi, Kohaku conveyed, "Drool and dogs go together."

So Sesshoumaru delineated his theory.

Kohaku heard him out, and he didn't contradict. Only said, "If so, then the Shikon-no-Tama underestimated you both."

Perhaps.

Distracted, Sesshoumaru leaned over to sniff Kohaku's hair. Did everything small like her?

The boy's quizzical expression cleared. "Shishi says Kagome-sama has unified our scents."

"Hnn."

"Are you displeased?" Kohaku pressed.

Oddly enough, he wasn't.
