Later that night, Ash was laid down at the edge of the bed, staring up at the ceiling. Next to her was Kaori, and to Kaori's left was Keiko. Ash sighed a little, crossing her legs and putting her hands behind her head as she kept her eyes open.
Ah, she thought. I'm tired, but I'm not tired. What the fuck is this?
She groaned softly, letting out a bit of a huff. Then, she felt a shift in the bed next to her.
"Hm?"
She turned and found Kaori looking back at her, though she seemed far more tired than Ash felt. Still, she asked:
"Did I wake you up?"
Kaori shook her head, before looking away, toward the ceiling as Ash had been doing.
The half-demon turned onto her side. She placed her right hand lazily over Kaori's chest. The girl's body was strangely warm, and Ash could feel her heart pounding. Kaori gave an audible gulp before saying:
"Do you think we're going to be okay?" Kaori asked.
