It's noticeably cooler that night.
Kagome steps outside, and in the darkness, woodsmoke calls to her with promises of heat. When she finds the blaze, she's not surprised to find Miroku enjoying it.
"Hi."
The monk looks up and gives her a smile. "Kagome."
Her lips curve upward in response, and she sits. "Chilly night." Sticking her hands out, she lets the warmth seep into her skin. "Feels like the fall will come early."
"Mmm, yes." Violet eyes grow contemplative, the firelight making them appear a light brown. "It seems there are many changes coming."
And she knows he's right.
