Itachi –I would have never guessed that this story would come along this far…really, thanks you guys!

Succumb to Wishing Droplets

Drop 53

"Hm," The Miko shuffled through the bottomless yellow bag of hers, searching for the unknown, "I could've sworn I had it in here!" Hn. I watched from the tree branch above her. Never would had I known that Miko's could swear.

"Mi-Kagome," She seemed to jump hearing her name (In which I'd practiced to speak the bewildering name) so fluently, "Do all Miko's from your time of…hn… 'Tou-ki-you' swear as you do?"

"Swear?" She gave a look of confusion, "But I didn't curse, Sessho."

"Correction, you swore."

"But, Sessho, I'm pretty sure they mean the same thing-" I shot a look to the Miko, trying to pass the words of 'Are you dense'…

After a moment of silence, we two, the Great Inuyokai of the Western Lands and the Time-Traveling Miko found one another waiting for the other to look away. I refused, rather, I could not look away from her suddenly innocent gaze. Down from the tree, to land on my feet infront of her.

This seemed to be the perfect moment. Finally, here, I could confess these feelings of the 'crush' to her.

Her hands made their way to the sides of my face… "Mi…Kagome-" …to fix the stray straws of grass and twigs out of my hair.

As people of her time would say, she killed the moment.

"Sessho! You need to make sure you keep your hair neat!" Dumbly numb I starred on as she picked piece's and pieces of anything contained in tree's out of my hair, "Do you want to get knots like Inuyasha? Your hair's too pretty for that mister and I'm making sure you keep it nice!"

I faded from the rest of the Miko's nagging, once a comment was plucked from her words. 'She said my hair was…pretty…'

A silent shade of red hued my cheeks.

"…Thank you, Kagome."

"Hm? You said something, Sessho?"

"Nothing at all, Miko."

S-T-W-D

Itachi – I really, really, really, really, really, really, really liked writing up the ending of this chapter! It just felt so cute!
