"Perhaps we should read in the morning?" he murmurs, tilting her sleepy face up to see his.
Kagome nods, her eyes growing heavier even as she does so. "You don't mind?"
"No."

Barely able to keep her on her feet, Kagome follows him to their pallet and only too willingly crawls under the blanket.
"I might cuddle," she mumbles, eyes closing.
Sesshoumaru slides in beside her. "Is that so?"
He pulls her close.
