Chapter 16: Naraku's Heart

"...Sniffed the ground.
As in, got down on all fours and stuck his nose to the floor… sniffed the ground?
In front of those friends of Kagome's.

No Shippo, not all dog demons get on all fours and sniff the ground.
That is a unique trait of my brother."

Sesshomaru allowed himself an eyeroll recalling the times he'd seen his brother crawl on the ground like a dog, snuffling some scent. It was a trait he still wrinkled his nose at in disgust. His phone rang once again.

"Higurashi-san?
I am pleased to hear that Kagome has finished her make-up exams.
No, no… you do not need to find a memory modification charm.
No. Those three friends of your granddaughter will not reveal to all the world the great secret.
I assure you it is under control.
Good day to you too sir."

Even as Higurashi-san's concerns about the three women's memories had been a good one, he'd watched them long enough to understand that they were empty, and devoted to Kagome.

No, they were not a threat. And no, 'memory charms' would not be necessary.
