-The Silent Type-

The moon was high above, seemingly in the center of the sky while the stars glittered from the numerous locations. After cleaning her kimono thoroughly—a stain still lingers, but the smell mostly dissipated—Kagome struggled to find a spot to slumber for the night. At this moment, she severely wished Sesshomaru hadn’t sent Rin away; her makeshift bed was her only comfort for the night with the assistance of a crackling fire, all that remained was an uncomfortable, dirt ground. She groaned to herself, knowing her kimono will once again become dirty. A pain in her stomach sent a signal to her brain; she was hungry, but of course, due to her size, it was impossible to forage.

Sesshomaru stood some distance away, his appearance once again pristine and immaculate, and his gaze was on her. It unnerved her, causing her to blush under the scrutiny. With a fluttering heart, she turned around, nestling into a small patch of moss and willed the stubborn exhaustion to inhabit within her mind. It was utterly embarrassing for her, not once did he make a comment, for that she was at least grateful, and thanked the kami for Sesshomaru’s blatant disgust of communication.

If he was different in any other way, she would have died from embarrassment.
