Beads
Kagome carefully picked herbs from her garden as she watched Katsurou play games with Shippou. It had been months since Shippou had visited due to his Kitsune exams. He was the only one who could keep up with Katsurou and his games. The other children in the village tended to avoid Katsurou. After a game of hide and seek, Katsurou sat down to eat an apple with a huge grin on his face. Shippou sat next to Kagome in the garden and together they both watched Katsurou.
"I know it was Inuyasha's, but was the subjugation spell necessary?" Shippou asked looking at the beads around Katsurou's neck.
Kagome felt shame coil in her chest. "I didn't want to, but as he gets older, he becomes that much harder to control during….that time of the month."
Shippou knew that she meant during the new moon.
"He loses himself to his demonic side. I didn't even think that would be possible since he is only a quarter demon but…I'm just at a loss as to what to do."
