Read it on Ao3, Dokuga, and FFnet.

Summary: Kagome finds a den that proves to be a lovely escape from the village and her responsibilities therein, not realizing that it actually belongs to someone she knows.

Sneak Peek

It started as happenstance, a place she'd taken shelter from during a sudden storm. The rain never bothered her, but the lightning flashing across the sky had made her wary, and she'd been forced into the nearest cave.

Or what she'd assumed was a cave.

Kagome had ventured a little further in and had realized that the space actually belonged to someone. There had been a small firepit, as well as a basket of fruit, proving that the owner had only recently vacated the premises.

The lush pile of furs in the back had her settling in for the night instead of waiting at the mouth of the cave. She'd been on her way back to the village after disposing of a nasty worm youkai poisoning the villagers' soil and had planned on collapsing on her futon as soon as she made it inside her hut.

The furs had been so inviting, the scent of earth and pine lulling her into a deep, restful sleep as soon as she'd laid down. She'd expected to be jarred awake by the den's owner, but as morning dawned bright and clear, there had been no indication of anyone but herself being there during the night.

And so, she'd left, noting where the cave was, but assuming she'd never be back.

Chiazolite, such a hopeful SessKag story of agoraphobia! I was on pins and needles while cheering them on the whole time. And such a spicy beginning! You're always here to win. Thank you for using the August prompts!

Thank you @moon-ion for another lovely gaze into your SessKag universe! Great use of the "protection against nightmares" prompt! Sometimes it takes waking up in someone's arms more than once to banish the darkness.
