AUTHOR'S NOTE: NOT MY BEST CHAPTER BUT I'VE BEEN MAKING KAGOME SUCH A BITCH RECENTLY AND I WANTED TO BACKTRACK ON THAT A LITTLE. SO APOLOGIES AND ONWARD FRIENDS!
Chapter 40
"WHAT THE HELL!? I told you I didn't want them off!"
"I didn't mean...I feel like such a bitch and I...I just keep saying it and I don't want to anymore."
Well, fuck. What am I supposed to say to that?
Also, why do I want them on again?
I don't know who I'm trying to kid. I know why I want them. I mean, there's been a shit load of times they'd come in handy in battle and when I've gone off the deep end but most importantly, they're proof I belong to her. That I belong somewhere. When she was gone, they were proof that she actually existed. It meant we were still connected even if she wasn't here with me. Without them...I just...feel...lost.
"You're not a bitch, Kagome. It's fine"
"No it's not. I'll...I'll fix them. I didn't mean to break them like that, just was going to break the spell so you could still keep the beads like you wanted and they just kinda snapped but I...I got something for you that might be just as good."
Wait, she's taking something out of her pocket. What the hell are those? Are those...
"I, um...I traded for these a little while ago..."
"Okay. What're they for?"
"It's what married people do in my time. I'll wear one and you wear one too. It tells the world we belong to each other. "
Okay, I've got to admit. That's better than something that sends me slamming to the ground but...
Well, dammit a ring just isn't the same.
A ring didn't bring us together.
It was the jewel and those stupid motherfucking beads.
But I won't lie. I like that she'll have something that marks her as mine.
