Chapter VIII

Prompt: Sunset

Words: 151

Kagome sat with Sesshomaru upon a hill not too far from their camp. They were enjoying the quiet, both of them tired of Inuyasha's bickering. The miko had suggested the spot mainly for the beautiful view of the sunset that it offered.

The miko and the Taiyokai talked; they talked about their travels and Kagome's education. Sesshomaru was impressed by the extent of her knowledge; and how pleasant her company was. The miko kept up a decent conversation when she wasn't being badgered by the hanyo. She had quite the sense of humor as well. He found it was a rather refreshing change.

Traveling with the miko and her group these past several months had been an eye opening experience. The pack dynamics were odd, but the way they interacted with each other was what was really interesting to the Taiyokai. With each passing month, the two had been growing even closer.
