Chapter 32: Reasons, Reasons
Miroku and Sango pulled her aside the moment Sesshomaru left to patrol the perimeter and therefore, was out of earshot. Inuyasha had gone off to hunt for their dinner, making it the only time to voice out their concerns without his childish ramblings.
"Kagome-sama, have you noticed Sesshomaru-sama's unusual actions lately?" Miroku asked.
"Huh?" Kagome's eyebrows arched in bewilderment. "What do you mean?"
The monk scratched his chin as he grasped for words. "Well… don't you think he's a little bit… merciful these days? For one thing, he's tolerating us. He even protects our group when there's a threat nearby."
"I think he does all that because of Rin. We all know how protective he is when it comes to her," Kagome answered. What was the monk trying to say?
It was Sango who tried another tactic. "Kagome-chan, Rin wasn't the one in danger when Koga interrupted your bath. Do you recall how he reacted when he sensed the threat coming towards you?"
The miko blushed, but she also remembered what Rin had told her earlier. "There's some history between Koga's pack and Rin, okay. They killed her and then Sesshomaru brought her back using the Tenseiga. Maybe he remembered the scent of Rin's killers that's why he interfered before Koga could reach our camp. That's all. See? Sesshomaru acted that way because of Rin."
Sango and Miroku sighed in unison. Clearly, Kagome was missing something her friends already knew.
