I don't own Inuyasha
This is the sequel for 'I Wish To Know What Awaits You In The Future'. You need to read that first so if you didn't yet then I suggest you to go and read it XD. It's very closely connected so without reading that you would probably have troubles with understanding to some parts. I would also like to say that the chapters here will be as long as it will turn out so don't ask for longer chapters because I will end the chapters where I will feel to end them and I don't want to make them longer by force.
Well, I guess that's all I wanted to say for now so we can move to the story :).
Chapter 01 – Why Are You Wearing That Thing?
Inuyasha's group was on their way again. They had no trace of Naraku or the Shikon fragment, so they stopped for the rest and lit up the fire. They didn't talk about what happened in the cave yet. When they woke up in the morning after the storm, Sesshoumaru and his companions were already gone. Only Inuyasha noticed them leaving right when the storm calmed down.
They were sitting around the fire now and Inuyasha noticed the pendant hanging around Kagome's neck. He still could smell his brother's scent on it and it irritated him enormously. Even though it's already been several days since they met him.
"Why are you wearing that thing?" He asked and everyone looked at him. "You've got it from Sesshoumaru and I don't see any reason why you should wear it. And why did he give it to you anyway?" Now the attention turned to Kagome. They all had the same question, but didn't dare to ask her.
"It's not your business what do I wear. And this pendant was originally mine, he just returned it to me." She didn't say it in the kindest way and Miroku, Sango and Shippo were glad that it wasn't them, who asked her. Though, Inuyasha didn't mind her tone and continued.
"And why did you give it to him and when?" She didn't want to tell him that. For her, the fact that Sesshoumaru returned her this pendant meant that he trusts her and she didn't want to betray him in this way. She wouldn't do it even before, but now when she saw him as a child, there was no way to do something like this.
"It's complicated." She said hoping that he won't ask anything else.
"We have enough time so you can explain it to us." Her hopes weren't fulfilled and she sighed.
"Inuyasha, just forget it ok?" She looked at him and he snorted.
"Then throw it away. I can't forget it when you're wearing that." He snapped and she stood up angrily, so she was now looking down at him. She pointed one finger at him and started to yell at him.
"Look, I don't know why can't you stand each other so much, but he isn't that bad when you get to know him a little. Nothing is just white or black. And SIT! I didn't finish yet." She sent him to the ground when he opened his mouth to say something.
"I'm not going to throw this away." She pointed at the pendant around her neck. "It reminds me a lot of nice memories which I don't want to forget. And if I ever hear any complaints from you about me wearing it, be sure I won't be nice to you." She put her hands on her hips and watched Inuyasha waiting if he says something or not. He didn't and she smiled satisfied.
"Now if you don't mind, I'm going to take a bath." She added, took the things she needed and without waiting for their response she set out to the nearby hot springs.
