Summary: A midnight bath in candlelight.


Steam rose from the hot springs located in a clearing in the middle of nowhere. The inu-tachi had been traveling all day till deep in the night to gain another shard. While fighting the rough demon they all had gotten dirty and so their alpha had led them to this spring. There were two of them separated by a huge rock wall.

As it had already gotten rather dark they had wanted to hurry their bath, but Kagome had pulled many candles from her seemingly bottomless bag. Having placed them all around the springs they dipped the place into a soft, almost unearthly light.

With a soft sigh sank the little miko into the hot water, joining the slayer and the little girl. She smiled as she swam a bit and sat down on a natural steep in front of the wall. Lathering her sponge with her soft scented lavender soap she began to wash herself.

"Kagome-oneechan?" Said Rin, swimming over to join her and get her hair washed. "How much longer till Christmas?"

"21 days," came the well known voice of the inu from the other side, rendering all of them effectively speechless.
