Chapter 18: Sharp Contrast
In a room at the inn, Sesshoumaru watched intently as Kagome unpacked her new garments, exclaiming over their beauty and his generosity. He feigned indifference, but her enjoyment was a pleasant diversion. She is no different than Rin when I lead her to a meadow filled with flowers.
What interested him most was how sharply the current scene contrasted with his freshest memory of the miko. In battle, she burned brightly, aflame with a consuming purity. How could that woman be this woman? The taiyoukai refused to be lulled into a false sense of superiority. Hnn... an uncommon human, indeed.
