She'd always been a social creature.
Hanging out with schoolmates, searching for shards with her friends, helping out the villagers; all were enjoyable pastimes.
But Kagome also enjoyed the quiet moments when she could relax and let her mind wander—like the naturally occurring hot springs in the Shiro's bathhouse.
After convincing Tsubasa that she could handle something as simple as bathing by herself, her new friend had made sure Kagome was left alone in the springs. She'd even procured some sweet-smelling soaps, something Kagome had given up since her return to the past.
The melancholy she'd managed to keep at bay since their arrival settled heavily on her shoulders, and Kagome let out a sigh.
