Summary:
Sometimes the questions he asks startle her.
The atmosphere between the two undead enemies of Naraku was usually somber, but sometimes Kohaku would revert to the cheerful mannerisms of his former self. His companion indulged him, knowing he was healing.
"Kikyou-sama," he ventured during one such incident, genuinely curious about his sister's companions. "What do you think of Kagome-sama?"
The miko froze mid-step, and Kohaku quickly realized his error. "I'm sorry," he said, shifting his feet uncomfortably. "That was rude of me..."
"My soul," Kikyou replied quietly, "has improved with age."
She resumed her steady pace, and he followed, gazing at her thoughtfully, after a moment's pause.
