Yukiko couldn't help but blush as Kenji pulled her over to him. Thankfully she was facing away from him at the time, so he wasn't likely to see it. The combination of his body and the blanket was so warm and comfortable, she could already feel her mind slipping as the first remnants of sleep tugged at her consciousness, causing her eyelids to feel heavy. Before long she gladly obliged it, shutting her eyes gently and sinking further into his arms. The blush on her cheeks was still present, but it was accompanied by a soft smile as she drifted off into slumber silently.<br/><br/>******************<br/><br/>Yukiko slept better than she had in what felt like years. She awoke peacefully as the sun started poking at her eyes, peaking over the top of the waterfall. Her eyes gently fluttered open, but instead of the natural scene she expected to see, she was greeted by the image of Kenji, still sleeping inches away from her. Apparently at some point during the night she had rolled over to face him.<br/>Normally she might have freaked out and pushed him away, but given that she was still waking up, she simply smiled and snuggled up closer against him, sighing contentedly. It was too comfortable and warm for her to care very much right now, not to mention the fact that she could confidently say they were alone here, and she decided she would stay just like this until he eventually woke up. Judging by how high the sun was in the sky, she figured it wouldn't take too long anyway.<br/><br/>As they laid there, she found her mind drifting around to various topics. She wondered what they would find to do today; or if they would even spend the day together again. She was sure Kenji had other friends, and it would make sense if he wanted to hang out with some of them. She wouldn't complain if he decided to spend time with her again, though. She also thought about what she wanted to do as far as the paranormal was concerned. Would it be right for her to just give up on everything she had spent years trying to do, just because she had a normal friend now? No.. She owed it to herself to stick things through. She would find..<span style="font-style: italic">whatever it was</span>that killed her friend, eventually. She had to. There was no rush though.. It was nice to have a friend again.
