Summary One hundred strokes before bed keeps the passion in their marriage
She told Sesshoumaru that if she brushed his hair one hundred times a day that it would make his hair glisten by stimulating the natural oils in his hair. He indulged her because he liked the idea of her brushing his hair every night. It provided a ritual that involved something intimate that brought them closer together.
He allowed it not because of her knowledge of future hair care or her statement that all Jane Austen's heroines did it (He had no interest in fictional women) Nor did he do so because he thought she was actually improving the condition of his hair.
His hair was already perfect. Nothing she could do to it would have any effect whatsoever. He simply liked the idea that she loved his hair and was willing to lavish such nightly attention on it. Her brush strokes were performed with such passion that he was quite ready for bed when she finished.
For her part, she just wanted the thrill of touching that Sesshoumaru's magnificent mane. Doing so swept away all the cares and problems of the day. She was able to revive the love she felt for Sesshoumaru every night. A way to keep the passion in their marriage and drive away all harsh feelings between them.
Her mother told that she should never take a quarrel to bed. The nightly brushing
accomplished this and more. She knew so long as she performed this ritual that bedtime would always be something to anticipate.
