Unspoken words float between them, but she can see her own thoughts reflected in the brilliant gold of his eyes, and everything is suddenly so much bigger than just them.
"Shippou"—she pulls the kit to her, also snatching up Rin—"that's a wonderful picture."
Both look at her face, grinning.
"Lord Sesshoumaru liked it too," Rin says, her smile nearly splitting her face.
Kagome's laugh is watery. "Did he?"
Shippou glances up at the daiyoukai, still grinning. "He did."
"Well, guess what?" Kagome locks eyes with Sesshoumaru again, feeling hers soften. "I like it too."
