Ami helped Sesshomaru to his feet. He was at last healed enough to travel.
"Where will we go, Lord Sesshomaru?" Ami asked him.
Sesshomaru looked away from her. "We must take the Tessaiga from my unworthy brother."
Ami grabbed his arm. "That is foolish. You will be hurt again."
"I doubt that half demon can lay a hand on me." Sesshomaru snapped back.
"But my lord..."
"Enough, Ami!" Sesshomaru cried.
Ami closed her mouth, though her eyes were full of tears.
Sesshomaru paused. "Please...do not cry..."
Ami wiped her eyes. "I-I'm sorry my lord. I-I just do not want you to get hurt."
Sesshomaru kissed her cheek. "I will not get hurt, my sweet Ami."
He patted her head, then continued walking.
