Kagome doesn't let go of his hand as he climbs up. "I really need to stay here tonight. If it rains—"
"Don't worry about it. I'll let him know."
She looks up at him, grateful. "Thank you."
"You gonna be okay?"
"Yeah, I'll be fine." She glares a little. "Even though there might be uncomfortable questions."
Inuyasha winces. "Yeah. Sorry about that."
"It's okay." She gives him a light poke. "Still love you."
"Yeah, yeah," he grumbles. "Ya know I love you too."
And she does know it.
"Be safe," she whispers.
He jumps, and the darkness feels heavier.
