It wouldn't be today, or even tonight, as Kagome was in no condition for such a trip, so he put the idea at the back of his mind while he found the nearest hot spring. She dozed in his arms as he walked, completely unabashed in his nudity, though most of his body was covered by her.

He'd never gotten around to removing his clothing, and her homemade kimono still hung around her arms, prevented from loosening by his pelt around her shoulders. He would ensure it stayed in one piece—or at least another was made. Perhaps he'd commission a matching set.

The fact that he hadn't thought of it before had his brows furrowing. Her pack knew of his intent, but it wasn't public knowledge, save the rumours the wolf prince would undoubtedly spread once he returned home.

It was time that changed.

On his next trip home, he would set things in motion. She still wished to travel, but it wouldn't do to be unprepared when she eventually settled in the west.
