They wake in the false dawn.

The eerie light breaks through the mouth of the cave, and Kagome sleepily blinks to life. She's content, warm. There's a moment of panic when she realizes she stayed out all night, but it disappears when her eyes set on his face.

Sesshoumaru's still asleep. She brushes his cheek and almost laughs when his brows furrow and he scowls.

He's not a morning person.

But then his face turns into to her hair, she hears the subtle sound of him inhaling, and he relaxes.

She smiles. "Ready to wake up?"

He growls.

She laughs.
