Why Do I Wear It?

Summary: One-shot. What's the real reason Kagome wears that short skirt?
Our little group was heading north to check out a rumor of a Shikon shard. Miroku and Sango were walking together in the back and Shippo was riding on Kirara. Inuyasha was leading up in the front. A cold breeze blew, sending goose bumps up and down my bare legs. Fall is coming and my uniform is hardly enough to keep me warm anymore. I sniffled a little and rubbed my nose. I know it's stupid to keep wearing my school uniform. I have a whole bunch of warm clothing at home, yet I insist on wearing this particular outfit. And it's all for one hanyou. Yes, Inuyasha, he's the reason.
I bet he's thinking about Kikyo right now. She's more beautiful than me. She's more mature than me. She's stronger than me. I'm just this weak, naive, little girl, whose stupidity broke the Shikon Jewel. Inuyasha promised his life to Kikyo, yet he promised to always protect me. Though, whenever Kikyo is near, he runs off to meet her. I guess she will always be first and foremost in his heart, and there's nothing I can do to change it, because I can't deny him his happiness. If he is happier with Kikyo, I'd let him break my heart over and over again, 'cause I love that lunkhead.
Stupid ol' me fell in love with that baka hanyou, that cusses. And fights. And get's on my nerves. Who watches over me. And protects me. I'm so love sick it's not even funny.
I sneezed softly catching the attention of Inuyasha. He came over to me and got in my way making me stop walking. "Did you sneeze?" He asks putting a hand on my forehead to check my temperature. I nodded. "You baka," he mutters. "You're burning up." He crouches down signaling me to climg on his back and I got on. "Inuyasha, where are you going?" Sango asks. "To Kaede's, Kagome has a fever." "What about the jewel shard, Inuyasha?" Miroku asks. "It will still be there, when we get back." Inuyasha answers running of in the direction of the village. Sango and Miroku shared a knowing look and started to follow after Inuyasha.
"Thanks, Inuyasha." I whisper into his hair as we practically fly in the direction of Kaede's village. "Feh," He answers back.
That's why I do it. That's why I wear this uniform, instead of warm clothing because I get sick. And when I get sick Inuyasha cares. For a little while I'm more important than Kikyo. For a little while I'm first and foremost. It might sound wrong, but it's true. I tighten my arms around his shoulders at the thought and fall asleep on his back.
Here's another Fanfic! I'm feel so proud of myself right now, I'vebeen havingthis odd amount of weird inspiration. Anyway, remember to read and review. Constructive critiscm is welcome, flames is not.
Ja!
