Heart of Tensaiga

Protection


Sesshomaru growled in annoyance at the young woman for as soon as she had realized the state of her attire…or lack thereof…she had instantly clung to his pelt and wrapped herself in it without even asking permission. The only thing that stopped him from killing the girl was the scent of overwhelming embarrassment that was coming off of her in waves. He figured that at least meant she had some modesty so he was willing to let this slide for now.

After an hour of awkward travel, though silent thankfully as she had yet to get over the situation, he took off his pelt and had her lean against a tree. "Stay, I will go and get you what you need," he commanded as he turned on his heel and walked towards a nearby village. It would be much faster if he went alone.

Kagome felt a slight bit of panic as being alone was the last thing she wanted right now. "Sesshomaru," she started, "what if something happens while you're gone?"

He turned around to face her and in an attempt to console the woman so that she would not panic he told her, "My pelt carries my scent. Very few are those that would try to harm anyone that is under the protection of this Sesshomaru."

She looked at his cold face and saw that he would indeed protect her as he had given his word to get her to her friends. For once that night, she smiled.
