Wind blew through the trees as they stepped into the garden, Inukimi and her mate cocooned in their private getaway.
Kagome breathed a sigh of relief at the sight, the pair not having moved since Sesshoumaru had whisked her away.
Instead of intruding, she sent out a tendril of reiki, alerting them to her presence, his mother jerking up before Kagura pulled her close, whispering softly. Inukimi nodded, slowly turning towards them.
Kagome gave her a slight wave, golden eyes watching her intently.
Focused.
So very focused.
She reached out, Kagome's ribbon draped over pale fingers, and Sesshoumaru nudged her forward until their fingers intertwined, Inukimi pulling her closer to rub their cheeks together.
