Kagome leans forward and lies against him, blanketed by the fading light of smoldering coals and the dark. His arm circles around her, pulling her close, and she pulls the mokomoko around them both.

Her head fits perfectly in the crook of his neck

"This is nice," she says quietly.

He doesn't say anything, but she feels his face turn into her hair, and he holds her closer. She tilts her chin and presses her face into his neck, closing her eyes.

They breathe each other in, content in each other's presence.

The dying embers of their fire burn out.
