15—Sweetly Scarred
"When Inuyasha couldn't control his demon blood, I ran into the acid to save him," Kagome said, showing Rin a place of paled skin on her ankle. "I'm lucky it had to eat through my shoes first."
"Save him from who?"
Kagome recalled red burning eyes. "From himself," she said softly.
"Were you scared?" Rin touched gingerly. "Did it hurt?"
"It was worth it," Kagome answered.
Sesshomaru shifted, doing his best to pretend he wasn't listening.
"Then I want a victory kiss too," Rin whispered as she lightly traced the scar with twisted admiration. "For helping Sesshomaru-sama."
He shifted again.
