Pulling away, they faced Mrs Higurashi lingering in the doorway.
"Mom, this is Sesshoumaru," Kagome squeezed his hand.
He inclined his head, knowing that Kagome's ex had threatened Mrs Higurashi with her daughter's life should she have gone to the police about her abusive situation.
He jolted as the woman rushed in, hugging him tightly. "Thank you," she breathed, "thank you for helping my Kagome."
Sesshoumaru blinked, nodding.
"Come inside! Dinner is almost ready."
"I…"
"You're joining us, sorry- no refusals allowed," Kagome grinned, tugging him forward before he could slither away like a basilisk.
Golden eyes gentled.
