No fear

"Katsurou, when you meet Sesshoumaru-sama you must always show respect and strength at all times. Do not show him fear. Hold your head up high and do not hide." Rin instructed.

Katsurou stood with his back straighter and his chin held high.

"There ya go, Katsurou. You look very serious."

Kagome only looked on as a mother watching her child having to grow up way too fast.

Rin put a hand on his shoulder.

"You will be faced with many challenges if Sesshoumaru-sama decides to take you in. Many youkai there will not approve of you setting foot in that palace. You have to be strong. Do not ever let anyone make you think less of yourself. You will rise above them."
