"So then he saved you?" Kagome asked at the end of Rin's story.

She nodded affectionately. "Rin has been by Sesshomaru-sama's side ever since."

"Wow," Kagome breathed. "Amazing."

"What happened here?" asked Rin, touching a small scab on the back of Kagome's hand.

"Oh that?" Kagome inspected it. "I got that when I fell from running from a wild demon boar."

"Oh. A battle scar," said Rin solemnly. "I have some too. Before Sesshomaru-sama found me."

Kagome noted the dejected look. "Battle scars sound so ugly," Kagome said, turning up her face. "Let's call them…victory kisses."

Rin thought…then nodded enthusiastically.
