Sesshomaru awoke as dawn came, seeing that the rain had passed on.

He looked over at his human captive.

She leaned against him comfortably, her soft breathing tickling his fur.

Sifting through the scents of their surroundings, he located water.

But it was a small ways away.

…She was safe here.

So he departed.
