Chapter 55: Wall Flower
Sesshoumaru led Kagome to a small arbor overlooking the courtyard where demons already gathered. Gesturing for her to sit on its small bench, he checked, "You know what to do?"
"I'll be ready," she promised.
With a perfunctory nod, he walked away, and she looked on from the fringes. Resplendent inu-youkai postured and preened, arrayed in silks and adorned with flowers; no one wore armor, but Kagome spotted the jeweled hilts of many a dagger and sword. Beautiful and deadly. Her gaze lingered longest on the demonesses. Which one of you will see Sesshoumaru-sama as more than his one mistake?
