She wasn't sure how long she had, so as soon as their auras faded into the surrounding forest, Kagome stole away to the garden, finding Inukimi curled up under a tree.
Laying Bakusaiga at the entrance, she erected a barrier, a precaution just in case Inuyasha and Kouga decided on an even stroll.
There couldn't be any interruptions.
A single golden eye opened as she approached, Inukimi not moving from her potion. Kagome pressed a kiss to her muzzle, stroking her fur.
"Care to try something new?"
The second eye opened before both narrowed at the jar of red paint in Kagome's hand.
