A solemn silence has fallen

She stood alone in the hall, their hall, her toes on the edge of the long, lush-green carpet – she might as well have been upright on the edge of a sheer cliff.
Kagome didn't like mirrors.
On the edge of a steep drop, by a mirror that showed someone that wasn't her. The walls around her shifted, one courter to the left, and she felt off balance.
There was the voice in her head, that tiny, annoying, good-for-nothing voice, which whispered that she should just walk off the damn edge already. It had all happened before – a distant memory of harsh winds whipping around her clothes and hair, almost urging her to fall into the canopies below.
He called the other woman's name.
Her feet touched the wooden floor, fingers trailed the shape of the face in the mirror while another appeared over her shoulder.
"Come back to bed," mumbled Kouga, half-asleep, into the crook of her neck. He doesn't like when things are half. Never have.
Kagome didn't get much of a choice as he picked her up into his arms, by her shoulders and legs, and strode back to the bedroom.
