Chapter 123: Insecure
"Don't go getting an inflated ego, Kami's know your ego is already large enough." Kagome teased.
Sesshoumaru sat there, stoically.
Kagome wondered if he really felt that way, that he was better than everyone. Even the most beautiful or talented had insecurities, right? Surely, he must have some as well. "Lord Sesshoumaru... do you have insecurities?"
"No."
"I thought everyone felt inadequate at some point. The most beautiful girl often finds flaws in herself. The most talented painter is often the most critical of their own work. You never wonder or question if you are good enough at anything?"
"This Sesshoumaru is perfection."
"I find it hard to believe you never feel unworthy." Kagome frowned.
"Believe what you will."
"In the past, I always felt I would never be as good as Kikyo. That Inuyasha would never love me as he loved her. That I was always just a duplicate of the dead miko. Even now, I am insecure about many things." Kagome admitted. Even if Sesshoumaru didn't care about her insecurities, she was happy to share. It, at least, felt good to talk to someone that would know who she was talking about.
