Chapter 35: Behind blue eyes
Kagome looked into the amber eyes of the demon lord, questioningly. She knew he had heard the conversation that had just transpired between Rolf and herself, just as she knew he had heard her whisper of trust. Oddly, she did trust him. She wasn't sure why, but she had been honest when she said it. Rolf's information on the fact that he had killed all his previous owners didn't reallt affect her, she had been witness to him killing many time, even been his target at one point.
She looked down at the beads again, clasped firmly in her hand, then back at Sesshoumaru. He made no noticeable signs to her unasked question. Should she put the necklace on him? She was even sure she would survive encroaching on his space, let alone having him bound to her in a subservient manner. Just how far did she trust him? Could he trust her? Could he see behind blue eyes, and know she meant no ill will? She stared a moment longer, then took a step forward. There was no turning back now. Nowhere to go but forward, see where it led her.
