Too consumed with finding her and pleading his case, Sesshoumaru hadn't bothered with keeping track of how much time had passed.
"It is possible. Inuyasha and Shippou were very concerned that I meant you harm."
Kagome snorted. "Yeah, right. You'd never do that."
His hand settled over hers. "I am glad you are so certain of this."
The blushed had returned, and she intertwined their fingers, then jerked and looked at him. "You call him Shippou now?"
She would catch that. "He has proven himself a worthy ally. He was quite adamant that I correct my mistake and apologize."
