Rain

There was an eerie silence that settled in the small hut that the group had settled in for the night.

The monk was unconscious, but the ever diligent slayer was at his side. Inuyasha grumbled but said little as he sat by the monk. He'd been slightly man handled but was for the most part in one piece.

The children and even Jaken were even quiet. The heavy patter of rain and crackling fire were the only sounds that filled this heavy silence.

Sesshomaru had removed his heavy cauldron armor, intent on finally relaxing after the stressful fight. But his nerves were still alive, and her absence made the air feel heavy.

Finally, a soft sigh escaped him, causing Inuyasha to look up. When he saw him approach the old door, he called out, "Just let her be -"

His hot eyes cut to his, "This one has never listened to you." As the door opened, he again murmured, "Why would I start now."

For the most part, the trees provided some coverage from the rain but not nearly enough to keep him dry. Stopping in his tracks, he could hear her soft footsteps. Her saddened eyes met his, "Sesshomaru."

She was absolutely soaked, her clothing even had become transparent. His boots softly trekked across the now muddy path, "You did not return." Her eyes stayed low, but a soft nod was all he was given. "It is raining,"

"I'm sorry," she murmured.

He watched the rain streak down her face, "The rain does not hide you." But again, when he was met by her heavy silence, he felt even further unsettled. His hands rose, gently pulling her forward without much thought. Dipping his grand height, he very gently dragged his tongue across her cheek. Her hands raised to his haori, feeling she might tilt backwards. "Kagome," his voice seemed a bit softer than she'd expected, "you tried."

His soft words had tears again flood forward, her lips twisting, "I- I couldn't save her."

"Couldn't," he murmured, "Doesn't mean you did not try."

She nodded sadly, trying not to outright sob into his clothing.

After a pregnant pause, he finally spoke, "This one is wet now."

Her teary smile put him at ease, "Well, I guess we should get you inside. Oh great, soggy one."

He set his now heavy haori over her shoulders, "says the woman whom is scantily clad." She pulled the haori closer, feeling a blush rise to her face, "Perhaps should this happen again." He pulled her along, back to camp, "Retrieve this one, so you do not become lost."

A soft laugh escaped her, "Yeah, sure. Whatever you say, Lord Fluffy."

Super late, but day 5 Huzzah!

An Oni’s Curse by Flamethemightydragon, Chapter 5

Summary: Rin sat by Kagome’s bedside, brows furrowed in worry as the older Miko tossed and turned, mumbling in her sleep. Kaede’s wrinkled hand replaced the cool cloth across her head, fighting against the fever taking hold. “Fret not, child. She will destroy the curse.” #sesskagweek2023.

Can you use tw tags for the angst posts, please? Thanks.

I can try to use a tw angst tag for the posts of this year's event.

I say try, because it's always very subjective to gauge the level of angst and what does not quite yet "count" as angst to me, might for you.

If you want to curate your own experience, feel free to block the tags for day 2 (fear), day 4 (anger) and day 5 (sadness) as those will most likely have the angstier content. The tags are skw2023d2, skw2023d4 and skw2023d5.

I do not have the time or energy to retroactively go to tw tag the previous years' events posts, but typically with SessKag week there are one or two angst days, so if you have a look at each event's prompt list, you should be able to tell which day’s contributions you should avoid.

Hope that helps.
