Disclaimer: I own nothing Inuyasha.
Author's Note: Oh boy. The less-than-admirable aspect of Inuyasha and Kagome's relationship...
Jealousy
It's an ugly emotion. No one likes to admit to it. If admitting one was in love was embarrassing, admitting one was jealous was downright humiliating. It was on par with admitting that one was weak, pathetic, and prone to childish tendencies.
That is... that's what an intellectual would believe.
"I said I'm not jealous, all right?!" Inuyasha yelled.
"Oh, really? And I suppose you only want to kill Koga because he doesn't smell nice?" Kagome said in exasperation.
"He doesn't," Inuyasha grumbled. "Stupid, mangy wolf scent..."
"And yet, you never complain about Shippou's fox smell," Kagome shot back.
Inuyasha glared at her and promptly turned heel and plopped down on the ground, his foot twitching irritably.
Kagome sighed. On one hand, she was flattered by Inuyasha's jealousy, but on the other hand...
"Why are you so upset, Kagome? Quit being so stupid!"
"Sit boy," Kagome commanded wearily. As the half-demon collided into the ground, she stood up and walked away.
Oh, sure. Koga is worthy of being jealous over, despite me making it clear – to BOTH of them – that I have no interest in him! But the moment I feel hurt because Inuyasha prioritizes Kikyo over me...
It's an ugly emotion. No one likes to admit to it. Especially when they have reason to believe that the other person is jealous, too.
AN: Look, I love my OTP, I do. But even I get tired of the BS jealousy from time to time. Especially with such double standards! Anyway, the next two prompts will be much more positive, so I'm looking forward to writing them and staying clear from the angst department for now...
