Chapter 24: Guilt Trip

"Is this absolutely necessary?"

"You agreed to lend me your support," Sesshoumaru silkily replied, "Did you lie?"

"No." She sighed and muttered, "You must hate this as much as I do."

A brow quirked. Actually, he was doing his best to torture her, petty revenge for needing her help in the first place. However, she was correct. "I hate this," he agreed, deadly serious.

"I'll do my best," she whispered.

"I shall hold you to your word, Kagome." As expected, she was foolishly pleased by his use of her name, and Sesshoumaru congratulated himself. Her promises have become her prison.
