The Coffee Corner: Okay, I've deleted my old InuYasha-related drabble/one-shot series because I didn't like it. So, I've started this one. The old one was too angsty and it didn't have enough humour/romance as I would have liked. So, read and review please!! And don't forget to enjoy :-)

Disclaimer: I do not own InuYasha. The characters rightfully belong to Rumiko Takahashi. I hope I do them justice.

Scene One: The Power of Flowers

"He loves me…he loves me not…he loves me…he loves me not…he loves me…he loves me not. Argh!" The raven-haired female in the green and white sailor suit stood up abruptly and huffed in annoyance. It just wasn't her day today – she had already gone through twenty-something flowers in a row, and still none produced the answer she was so desperately searching for.

Kagome Higurashi was fed up with her ill luck with that mystical, stubborn half-demon. Even her deepest fantasies had somehow turned against her, her mind soon wondering towards the dead priestess, which somehow conjured up an image of InuYasha and Kikyo together instead of him and Kagome.

Yuka, Eri, and Ayumi had all suggested that she solve her "love dilemma" the old-fashioned way: through the magical powers of the flower! "The flowers never lie!" they had all told her energetically, hands waving in the air. "Take Ayumi for example! After she did it, guess who came knocking at her door the following morning? Renji Haro! Ayumi and him have been dating steadily ever since…"

Kagome had figured that it couldn't hurt in trying (even though she had serious doubts about the entire "magic" part), so when she had flung herself back into the Feudal Era that following afternoon, she was delighted to find a numerous amount of lovely wildflowers growing around the old wooden time-travelling well. She soon went a-picking, gathering handful after handful of flowers.

It couldn't hurt, right?

Well, apparently it did hurt. Hurt emotionally, that was. Ever flower that she had picked and done the entire ritual with, it all turned out wrong. The last petal always said, "He loves me not." Discouraged and heart-broken, Kagome figured that Mother Nature herself must have been attempting to tell her that InuYasha is not the "one".

And as much as it hurt…well, Kagome couldn't deny the truth. There was a ton of evidence that proved that she and InuYasha were slowly drifting apart. Maybe the flowers were right…maybe she and InuYasha just weren't meant to "be".

Kagome frowned, depressed, and crushed the rigid, green stem of the previous (and last) flower that Kagome had used, petal and all, underneath the sole of her leather brown school shoes.

Shippo frowned from behind the prickly bush, having just witnessed the entire catastrophe between the flowers and Kagome. He, the beloved and kawaii kistune of the InuYasha Tachi, must help the love-blind dog-demon and the in-denial futuristic teen.

After all, what else was he going to do?

"InuYasha! InuYasha!" cried the tiny redheaded kitsune as he ran havoc on the streets of Kaede's village. Carts packed with vegetation were overturned with the small youkai's haste to locate the half-demon, and mules and horses were driven from their fields in fear of being the next target of Shippo's wrath.

"InuYasha no baka!!" screamed Shippo, which soon earned him a good bop atop the head by none other than the aforementioned hanyou.

"What do ya want, ya little runt?" the dog-eared man questioned, his face reflecting that of a bored and irritated teen. Shippo took one look at his so-called "protector" and almost contemplated the fact of letting Kagome leave him and suffer.

Almost.

And so went Shippo, talking faster than the hanyou could comprehend, and when the kitsune was done explaining the delicate ritual of the "flower", about how the rules were laid out (each petal for each phrase), about Kagome's failed attempts, and how she could leave the InuYasha Tachi to search for her "true love".

Faster than the blink of an eye, InuYasha was gone, leaving Shippo wide-eyed as he stood there, still talking.

After Kagome's failed tries at the flowers (I should have known that they wouldn't work!), the fifteen-year-old had trudged on back home, defeated and somewhat angry at her companions for even suggesting such a vile way to predict love.

At least before Kagome had held some hope for the half-demon to come around…but now, now it was just shattered, lying on the ground in a millions pieces that could never be glued back together.

Thinking bitter thoughts and about how many different ways she could maim Yuka, Eri, and Ayumi for getting her involved in this type of crap in the first place, the raven-haired beauty soon fell into a light slumber, her troubles forgotten as she dreamed away in La-La Land.

A certain dog-eared, white-haired, and clawed inu-hanyou crept into Kagome Higurashi's overly pink and frilly bedroom quietly through the window, leaving something precious on her organized desktop for his Shard Detector – for his sweetheart.

And when Kagome woke up from her nap, she would have found her room filled with the fragrance of two hundred different types of five-petalled flowers (InuYasha had counted each flower and petal) with a small note attached that said:

Kagome no Baka,

Try your little flower game again with the flowers that I have picked. Hopefully the message will come out loud and clear to you through that thick head o' yours. Though I doubt it. I gave you two hundred flowers because I'd figure that it'd rule out the twenty that you had earlier – and that it convinces you over and over again of what I feel.

P.S.

Start with, "He loves me…"
