Summary: A late evening, a lonely miko and an inu that admires true beauty.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Somewhere, in the middle of a wintery forest, stood a lone, young woman in a large clearing. Her head was tilted back, while a small, content smile spread over her features. Silently she watched as the snow fell, slowly but steadly drifting to the ground.

It was her 20th winter, her 5th in the Feudal Era and yet she could never get enough of the pure beauty of snowfall in this time. The last year had been exhausting, but had also brought good things for their pack. The Western Lord and the taichi had made a deal to hunt the spider and were now traveling together.

It had been many months now since that fateful day in spring when all of them had joined, but the miko found they were the best since her arriving here. Noticing that she was no longer alone, she turned slightly and bowed to the new arrived person.

“Good evening, Sesshōmaru-sama,” she greeted with a genuine smile.

“Good evening, miko,” with a slight incline of his head the inu returned the greeting.

“Were you searching for me?” Kagome asked as the tall male strode through the fresh snow over to her.

“Not exactly,” he answered. “What are you doing here in the cold?"

“Enjoying the quiet and beauty.” The miko smiled and returned her gaze to the falling snowflakes. “It is Advent.” At his questioning gaze she continued. “In my time we celebrate a holiday called Christmas, it will be in 24 days from now. The time before we call Advent. It is a wonderful time to find back to oneself and what truly matters.”

“Hn,” the inu agreed and followed her gaze. “And what is it that matters?”

“Peace, health, family or pack as you would say,” said Kagome softly. “Safety and happiness for those we care for. One should learn to cherish the simple things in life.”

Much to her surprise Sesshōmaru simply nodded and for a second she thought she had seen approval on his face. For a while the two of them stood in comfortable silence, simply watching the falling snow. Then the male turned and began to walk back, as the miko did not follow he turned to her once more.

“Isn´t it beautiful?” She whispered, knowing he would still be able to hear her.

“Indeed,” rumbled Sesshōmaru, little did she know that he was no longer watching the snow.
