--Catnap--

Inuyasha yawned lazily, stretched out on the rug. Kagome was curled up at his side, face buried in his haori to shield her eyes from the sun streaming in through the window. One of his arms was looped around her waist, and one of her hands was at the back of his neck. It had been four in the morning until they made their way back to Inuyasha's forest and the well, and they had collapsed in exhaustion.

Blinking sleepily, the miko peered up at him through blurry eyes. Arching her back, she hid her face once more in his chest as he lifted one clawed hand and ran it through her hair.

Slowly, the newly awakened pair began to realize the position they were in. Their cheeks began to heat, and Kagome started to sit up, only to be stopped by his arm, still around her waist.

"Don't- move," he said quietly, embarrassment coming into his eyes as he realized what he had said. Kagome nodded and lay back down. Slowly, their eyes drifted shut.
