Five-Star Accommodations
When they entered the cave and worked their way down into the main chamber, Kagome went straight for her backpack, finding solace in the fact that she had at least some of her belongings.
"I need to have a bath," she told Youko. His gaze was heavy yet impassive as he stared at her.
"Agreed," he drawled. When she huffed at him expectantly, he sighed.
"I found a creek close by the other day," Kagome trailed off.
"I would've thought you'd discovered the other chambers," he remarked. Confusion furrowed her eyebrows.
A swell of youki filled the cavern and a segment of the wall melted away before her eyes. She peered inside curiously and he waved a hand. Carefully, Kagome walked through the opening, and her heart filled with a happiness that she hadn't felt in nearly a week. Eddies of steam wafted towards her and she nearly squealed.
"A hotspring!"
When she looked over her shoulder at him, eyes bright and a smile on her face, he faltered slightly at the sight before his expression smoothed over. She didn't seem to notice as she wasted no time dashing inside.
"Don't peek!" she warned seriously.
Youko snorted. As if he would.
A/N: Here's two today because I appreciate all your kind words. Happy birthday to The Princess of the Broken.
