Heart of Tensaiga
Resentment
Kagome closed her eyes as she felt Sesshomaru's hand putting the cloth in place. Sometimes he asked her told the cloth so that he could maneuver it around with his one hand. She glanced at Sesshomaru then and wondered if he had any lingering resentment towards her for what Inuyasha had done in the first fight between the brothers. "Sesshomaru," she began lightly as she played with some of the fabric, "I was wondering if you still hate me for the loss of your arm?"
He paused for just a moment before finishing the back of the tie around her waist. Sesshomaru wondered why she felt any guilt at all about that moment of their shared past. "This Sesshomaru bears no ill will for you due to the loss of his arm. The fault lies only with me for allowing Inuyasha to get the upper hand. A mistake I will not make again, I assure you," he told her.
Kagome turned to face him and noticed that he looked very serious. "Then you resent me for something else?" she questioned. "Being human perhaps?" She knew there was something there that he hadn't said.
He looked down at her worried face and determined how best to answer her question while remaining honest, "The only resentment towards you lies in the fact that I do not understand you or why the Tensaiga chose to bring you back. This Sesshomaru does not like not knowing," he answered.
She gave him a soft smile.
