37-Another Reflex
With the roasted rabbit finished and her stomach full, Kagome soon found her eyelids becoming heavier.
Sesshomaru watched her head droop forward and snap upright several times before a giant yawn attacked her body.
"Sleep," Sesshomaru instructed firmly. "We leave at dawn."
"I'm okay," she gently slurred. "You go ahead, I'll keep watch."
"What kind of fool are you?" Sesshomaru couldn't help but ask his drowsy captive.
Kagome yawned and stretched. "It's only fair. You cooked so I should do something too."
Another huge yawn and…
Reflex kicked in. Sesshomaru sprang.
She was asleep before she landed in his arms.
