THE NEXUS OF SATISFACTION
chapter seven
sixth sense.



True, there were times when her presence undoubtedly irked him. But there were also days when she would mysteriously disappear completely from his sight, casting an unknown charm over Rin by taking the younger girl with her. It happens when he especially felt the need for privacy and time alone in order to gain a momentary equilibrium in his now off-balanced life.

And he didn't like that.

He didn't like the probability that she understood more about him than he was willing to let her and that almost drove him to an unspeakable fear. She never seemed to struggle to understand; oftentimes, she just did. He, a powerful demon lord, could not think of any strategy to counter that.

When it came to her, however, he couldn't seem to understand anything. Why she keeps doing unexpected acts of friendship, for example, that closely bordered to a penetration in his heart.

And Sesshoumaru could not comprehend that fact. Either that or he refused to believe it.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Reviews are magical things. They do not only let me read the insights of the reader, they bring me a warm feeling inside. This chapter is dedicated to Yabou, for having done just that.

What pleases a writer most, I think, is to know that the readers find not only pleasure but also a pleasant satisfaction from what he or she has written. That fact also serves as an inspiration to the writer himself—at least, to me.
