Strange Circumstances

Kagome sighed as she rocked Shippo slowly, singing softly, though her voice was growing tired. Clow glanced at the still crying kit, and thought a moment, before grinning. Gathering magic into his hands, he set to work. A few moments later, a beautiful woman sat beside Kagome, smiling at her softly. Kagome gave her a curious look, still singing softly, but could feel the magic that made her, so thought nothing of her sudden appearance. However, she did start slightly as she heard her own voice start singing along with her, a bit softer, a few words behind her current place in the song. She gave the singing woman a smile, continuing the song until the woman nodded for her to stop, having memorized the full song, and continuing it without her.

"Suteki da ne

Futari te o tori aruketa nara

Ikitai yo

Kimi no machi, ie, ude no naka"

When the kit had finally fallen back to sleep, she carefully tucked him back in against Kirara's side, and took Clow's hand, allowing herself to be lead away from the camp, leaving the woman to sing softly.

"That is "Song"," he explained quietly, wrapping his arms around her affectionately.

"She's very lovely," Kagome commented, unsure if she should be worried about his creative imagination or not.

"I had very lovely inspiration," he replied, smiling down at her blushing form.

"I'm sure she will come in handy later on as well. You're voice is very calming to children," he continued, gazing at the sleeping kit.

"Are you planning on having lots of children then?" she teased, smiling up at him.

"Well...that depends on if you are willing or not..." he scratched the back of his head, looking away as he blushed.

"You're much smoother than Miroku," she giggled, kissing his cheek before darting back to camp, leaving a very flushed sorcerer behind her.
