Chapter 34: Floating Castle

"Is that it?" Kagome asked in awe.

"Yes."

She hung tightly to Sesshoumaru, tucked against the taiyoukai's side as he guided his youki cloud higher. An immense castle towered above the clouds, as imposing as it was elegant. "Any last minute advice?" she whispered.

The taiyoukai's golden eyes slanted her way, and he answered, "Do not kill anyone."

She gawked up at him.

After further consideration, he amended, "...without permission."

Whether he meant to or not, Sesshoumaru's one request made her feel much better about facing a castle full of inu-youkai. "I'll try to remember," she replied with a giggle.
