Hey, all! Welcome to my first FanFiction in YEARS. Haha. I don't know what came over me, but I just wanted to post a short story for no reason. Please enjoy and let me know what you think. But be nice considering I'm out of practice and what not. ;D

Summary: Kagome was rejected by Inuyasha. She was hurt. How can Inuyasha make it up to her? Perhaps a little chat with Sango will open his mind, and maybe his heart…

Rejection

Ah, rejection. Lovely. Just what she needed. The raven haired beauty sighed and let her mind mull over what had happened earlier that day.

Kagome had just popped over the lip of the well for the first time in three days. She smiled as the fresh air hit her nose. She sat on the edge of the Bone Eaters Well for a few blissful moments before she was rudely interrupted by none other than her disgruntled hanyou companion.

"Wench, what took you so long?" he asked, his brow furrowed in anger. The miko sighed. She didn't understand why he always had to ruin her few serene moments upon returning to the Feudal Era.

"Inuyasha," she replied coolly. "I was gone for three days just like I told you. I'm not late or anything so would you just calm down?" Exasperation laced her voice. The said hanyou's left year twitched slightly at the tone of Kagome's voice, which didn't go unnoticed by the girl.

"Feh. Whatever, Kagome. Let's just head back. The runt is just dying to see you." Kagome noted the sarcasm in his voice. She shrugged her shoulders and lifted her giant, yellow back pack to her shoulders. Miko followed hanyou to the village.

As Kagome walked up to Kaede's hut, a ball of fluff immediately leapt into her arms with a screech of "KAGOME." "Well, hello, Shippo! I brought you a present." The kit's green eyes brightened at the words. "What is it, what is it, what is it?" he squealed

Kagome laughed as she kneeled down and opened her bag. She pulled out a black, rectangular object. She held it to Shippo who looked curiously at the foreign object. "What is it?" he asked. "It's a DS Lite, a GameBoy." Kagome went on the further explain the future technology to the little kitsune. Afterwards, she pulled something else out of her bag.

"Here, Sango. This is for you," Kagome chirped happily as she handed her friend the package. Sango eagerly grabbed it from Kagome's hands. It was small and wrapped in delicate looking blue paper. Sango gingerly unwrapped it only to behold something beautiful, yet she couldn't quite place.

"What is it, Kagome?" The demon slayer looked up to the miko with questioning eyes. Kagome giggled a bit at Sango's confused look and said, "It's a hair clip. Here, hand it over and I'll put it in your hair." Sango did just that and let Kagome place it in her long, brown hair. Kagome held out a mirror and Sango stared at her reflection in awe. The clip looked great on her! It was a light pink flower surrounded by emerald green petals.

"Thank you, Kagome! It's beautiful!" Sango gushed over her new present as Kagome grabbed a book from her bag and handed it to Miroku who thanked her kindly and asked exactly what it was.

"It's an old classic from my time that I though you might enjoy, considering you're so interested in my era," she explained. Miroku grinned his thanks. Kirara mewed at Kagome, who in turn dug through her bag yet again.

"Here we are!" Kagome exclaimed as she pulled out a baggie of kitty treats and placed them gently in front of her nekomata friend. Inuyasha looked on curiously throughout the whole situation. He began to wonder if Kagome had brought him a present, too. He was just about to ask when he was interrupted by said girl.

"Don't worry, Inuyasha. I have something for you, too. You'll get it later though." Kagome inwardly smirked at her cleverness. Today was going to be a good day, she hoped.

So far, how was it? As soon as I get at least one review, I'll post the next chapter. Thanks for reading! :)

Much love, Kikira Lynn
