Thank you to my lovely beta, Stella!
"I think… we'll be safe here…" Kagome panted, out of breath as she had dashed from her mother's home. Sesshomaru ran easily beside her, urging her to keep going even as her lungs constricted from the effort.
Kagome plopped down to the ground, releasing a heavy sigh as she was greeted with a bright blue sky and fluffy white clouds. Seeing the clouds, she was reminded of her company and turned, offering her arms to the small and white creature, who blinked at her curiously.
"Fluffy… are you alright? Come here, let me check you for wounds." Kagome smiled softly, sweat rolling off of her brow. Sesshomaru complied, padding his way through the mossy ground and lying against her side. She checked his fur, seeing if her horrible mother had caused any harm to him, and, pleased to see no marks on the dog, she buried her head deep into his fur.
"I'm so glad to have you here, Fluffy. I don't know what I would have done if she…" tears welled in her eyes, thinking of her mother and how easily she dismissed her from her life.
Sesshomaru smelt the salty water coming from his companion and whined, leaning closer to lick a falling tear off of her porcelain cheek.
"Thank you, Fluffy." Kagome smiled softly, curling herself into the soft white bundle of fur. "My prince…" She murmured, falling into a fast and deep sleep.
