Prompt from Stella Mira's Soundtrack Challenge #8: Madder Sky

As they continued to traverse the forest, Kagome soon gave up her efforts to draw Sesshomaru into conversation. Sometimes they heard distant thunder in the sky, but thankfully, it didn’t rain—yet. Kagome hoped it stayed that way. Later that afternoon during a small break where she ate more of what the forest had to offer, she asked Sesshomaru if there were any hot springs nearby.

Sesshomaru scented the air before replying. “No.”

“What about a stream or something?” she persisted.

“There is.”

“If it is not out of our way, could I use it to bathe?”

He nodded once.
