Johann Strauss: Vienna Waltz
They were back on the road again, and Kagome had volunteered to gather firewood with Shippo. Although, volunteering wasn't exactly necessary, since they had all fallen into habitual roles for setting up camp ages ago.
As they walked, gathering kindling and sticks, Shippo noticed Kagome humming, and walking with a certain sweeping sway to her gait. Upon asking her about the song, Kagome related that it was in the style of a dance from her time called a waltz. And without further thought, she volunteered to teach him how to do it. Taking a pit stop off the trail, she piled up their wood and set him down on the ground. Taking his hand in hers, Kagome bent down as she taught him the basic step, humming all the while. She made a mental note to burn a disk with waltzes on it, so she could play one for him next time.
She was quickly drawn from her movements, however, by a small disturbance behind her. Quickly, she pushed Shippo behind her, and turned around, only to see the young girl in the patchwork kimono once more. She looked shy, but couldn't stop staring at them. Kagome gave her a reassuring grin.
"Would you like to learn too?"
And with that, the girl tentatively approached them, and tried to follow the steps best she could.
A short time later, after all formality of the dance had dissolved, and the three were simply spinning around in one big circle, the girl noticed something behind Kagome. Pulling away, she ran towards none other than Sesshomaru, who was regarding them from across the way. He appraised his small companion, then nodded at Kagome, before continuing on his way.
That evening, Shippo asked if he'd ever get another dancing partner, because Kagome was far too tall.
I hope you all are listening to the music, too! Also, please review and let me know if you have any songs in mind.
