Chapter 35: Ruminate
Disclaimer: I do not own that which belongs to another.
They had traveled three days without trouble but Kagome still could not relax in this wilderness.
Her greatest relief was when Gaara would scoop both Airi and herself into his sand sometime during their day's journey, often when both were too exhausted to continue. Then she could read or teach Airi hand games, disregarding their milieu.
At night Kagome would bundle herself up, until only her eyes were visible in her cocoon of sweaters and blankets before falling back, staring at the stars.
"They're all so different," Kagome would mumble to herself each night, thoughts lost in worlds long gone.
