Chapter Fifteen: A Promise
When Sesshoumaru arrived, Kagome’s mother was warming up their tea, bringing out another cup for her new guest. Kagome watched her mother before Sesshoumaru walked in, noticing her hands would tremble even if she wore a polite smile. She was taking the news of Kagome’s assassination attempt pretty badly, but it was to be expected, and Kagome was still quite shocked herself.
Kagome noticed the grave expression on Sesshoumaru’s face when he joined them. He settled beside Kagome on the sofa, taking her hand before her mother sat on the chair opposite them in the living room. Jii-chan was rumbling around upstairs, and soon he would join them to talk about Kagome’s father. Until then, another pressing matter loomed over their heads.
Kagome turned to Sesshoumaru, her voice still shaky from the news. “How bad is it? Do you have any idea who wants to kill me?”
Sesshoumaru shook his head, and she noticed the anger returning to his face. He looked into her eyes and squeezed her hand tightly. “You have nothing to fear, Kagome. I promise I will never let anyone hurt you,” he said soothingly, but despite his words, Kagome still felt a sense of heightened unease.
