32—Bleeding Heart
The Inuyasha gang had one irrefutable thing in common:
Kagome's involvement addiction.
She was compassionate, kind, and worst of all, she got attached too easily with her eagerness to be helpful.
Inuyasha's shards, Shippou's orphaning, Miroku's hand, Sango's struggle, and now…
Sesshomaru's resentments.
She would fix it, or at least attempt to understand it, so that she could help Sesshomaru fix it himself.
Because behind bitterness was hostility and behind hostility was pain…
And maybe… she could save him…
"Are you frightened?" Sesshomaru entered the firelight, holding two dead rabbits by their ears.
"I'm worried." she replied and meant it.
