Her friends are outside when they enter the village.
Flustered and ten shades of pink from moments before, Kagome tries to ignore Inuyasha's suspicious look as Sesshoumaru helps her dismount A-Un.
Tries.
Grabbing her pack, she refuses to glance at him. "Are you staying?"
Sesshoumaru dips his head. "For now."
It's enough. Daring to reach out and squeeze his hand, Kagome lingers long enough to feel him squeeze back and then pushes through the jelly-like feel of her legs and makes for Kaede's hut.
Inuyasha smirks as she blazes past. "Have fun?"
She says nothing, ears burning scarlet.
He laughs.
