"Hazō," Cangue said, "are you sure you don't want me to come along? I am willing, if need be."
Hazō shook his head and stepped to Cangue's side to run a hand through her coat. "No, Cangue, it's fine. I can spend a couple days without the ability to pop back and forth between Paths on a whim. It's not risky since I'll have reverse summoning, and I'll be back as soon as we're done on the island. On the other hand, if a Dragon attacks us over open water, everyone but me and Kagome will die. We'll only survive if we can react fast enough. We know Dragons passed this way to attack the Archaeopteryx Clan. It's not a risk we need to take."
"Very well, summoner," Cangue said, dipping her head down.
