Sleeping Arrangements
.
.
Toga groggily opened his eyes and slowly lifting his head saw the girl sleeping by the fire across from him. Narrowing his eyes he quickly replayed the scene to figure out what had happened. He remembered being but a mere inch from nuzzling her when he had heard a crack and everything went dark. Quickly standing he studied the area around him and found a branch near him, which had been cracked. Narrowing his eyes he picked up the offending branch and crushed it. His gaze then fell on the curled up, shivering, sleeping, unaware, defenseless miko. A sly smirk appeared on his face.
First thing first, needing a bath he made his way to the hot spring. It was past time to remove the mud print she had so graciously placed on him. He entered the water bringing his clothes with and removing the mud quickly. His clothes now clean, he laid them on the rocks near by while submerging himself to remove any dirt left on his person. Done, it was time; he quickly dressed and using his yōkai abilities dried his clothes quickly. Now what to do about the girl . . .
Kagome slowly uncurled herself. She was not ready to get up, being nice and comfy, to deal with what should be an angry Toga. Keeping her eyes shut her mind lazily analyzed yesterday as she rolled over. 'So warm.' She thought as she let out a sigh, her fingers latching on to what she assumed was a cloth and pulling it closer. 'Hm?' Focusing back to her thoughts on yesterday once more she puzzled over Toga's actions. She could have sworn that he was going to kiss her but now she wasn't so sure anymore. I small tiny part of her was disappointed at this bit of information her brain supplied her with. 'Did I want a kiss?' Mentally she shook off the thought for later contemplation, going back to last night. 'What was he trying to do?' She curled into a ball once more her head hitting something hard and- warm . . .?
Toga quietly lay on his side next to her, his arm propping up his head, a smirk on his lips appeared as he watched the miko roll over and fist her hand into his haori. Her aura remained undisturbed even with him next to her and it even felt calmer. Just but that bit of information he could assume that she did not truly hate him as much as she acted out. He listened as her heartbeat begun to speed up as she started to wake up. 'This was going to be interesting,' he thought as her head hit his chest, he couldn't help but let out a small chuckle.
Kagome froze as she heard Toga chuckle and felt the hard surface against her forehead vibrate. She internally cringed, she had little doubt as to who it was, having sought and found his aura near her, actually right next to her. When had he joined her? She didn't dare move a muscle keeping her eyes glued shut she begin to pray that it was just a dream. 'Oh Kami, please!'
"Breath Miko, you are changing colors." He said whispering into her ear.
At his words she jumped as if on fire away from him and quickly getting to her feet she hurried to her Kimono and grabbing it, left to the hot spring. She was determined to pretend that what had just happened had never happened but she couldn't help the feeling that enveloped her of being safe and warm.
