"It reminds you of her eyes, right? That's why you don't like using it?"
Inukimi huffed, fangs bared the longer she looked at the paint. Kagome placed a calming hand on her nose. "I know you miss her."
In her true form, Inukimi was capable of incredible feats, but the trembling beneath the pale fur gave her the appearance of a fearful young pup.
It only strengthened Kagome's resolve.
"Do you trust me?" A silly question considering their current positions, and the ribbon in Kagome's hair, but one she asked nonetheless.
The air shifted, Inukimi appearing in her humanoid form before brushing their cheeks together. Kagome returned the gesture, intertwining their fingers.
"We're going to bring her back."
