Chapter 69
The silence was tense and auras pulsed with their anger; however, both managed to maintain their cool. It was Sesshomaru who resumed the talk. "You would eliminate them?" he asked slowly and somewhat dubiously.
Kagome nodded her head silently. She knew why he was asking, and she knew it was a difficult topic for the both of them. There were too many unsaid things, much pain hidden beneath pale skin that did its best to hide it.
"They are like me," growled Sesshomaru. He didn't move from his place at her side, and he didn't turn her way either.
"I know," the young miko finally said and turned to him. She met his profile for he refused to acknowledge her. "My grandfather, along with the other Shrine, has been keeping tabs on wild youkai, and after meeting with them for the gatherings, we came to the conclusion that this was mostly caused by the excessive input of radiation. We can't allow them to suffer like this: they are in pain Sesshomaru, and they can't even control themselves."
Sesshomaru knew what she meant, but it wasn't just that. There were so few youkai alive nowadays. This was all the humans' fault at the end, for it was them who had created all this. Now they deem it wise and correct to eliminate them all. They were so hypocritical; didn't they have any sense of honor?
Kagome sighed, feeling the turmoil raging inside the Taiyoukai besides her, and stood. She glanced at the rising sun for a moment before turning around and taking that first step away from him. However, she didn't reach too far.
"That could happen to this Sesshomaru," the Taiyoukai said with restrained anger. "No one is certain when it will happen to this one, but they all agree that it will. Will you kill me then?"
Kagome heard every word and the disdain with which they were pronounced, but she kept firm. Instead of talking as if she would have done when she had been fifteen, she decided to remain silent and walk away.
To be continued...
