Title: Sunset
Written for Aiffe. Because she's neat.
Theme: orange


The sun sank below the horizon giving the sky a dusky red-orange glow. Kagome sighed in happiness, holding Shippou closer to her. Something about watching the sky change color calmed her.

In a way it reminded her that no matter where she was, some things would never change. The sun rose and set and the moon shone at night.

Settling back in her sleeping bag, she tucked Shippou against her side, eyes still watching the sky. With one last fiery blast of orange, the sky turned darker. Red, purple, and finally indigo shone in the sky. The stars began to sparkle in the midnight hue and Kagome smiled as thoughts of home lulled her to sleep.

Perhaps her family had been watching the sunset as well.
