Tears of Happiness
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha!!
Kagome ran as fast as her legs could take her. Her body screamed for her to stop, but her mind told her to keep running forever. She heard Sango calling her, but Kagome was hesitant to stop. She reached the hot spring they were at a few minutes ago, and decided to stop there. She turned around to wait for Sango, she didn't have to wait long, because thanks to Sango's demon exterminator abilities, she was close behind. Sango stopped in front of Kagome, and placed her hand on Kagome's shoulder, panting slightly.
"Kagome..."Sango started with a sympathetic look.
"It looks...fine, really. It suits you. I'm used to it already!"
Kagome just stood there emotionless. Her expression resembled Sesshoumaru's, cold and blank. Her eyes showed none of the feelings she felt inside of her. It scared Sango to see her once lively and spirited friend like this. She wished that she could put a smile on her face, she even rather have Kagome frown or burst out into tears, any emotion would do. Anything.
"Kagome?" Sango asked meekly.
Kagome still remained silent. Slowly, she leaned over, and peered into the water and at her reflection.
~*~
Inuyasha stood there in shock as Kagome and Sango ran off. His mind was still registering what had just happened. He slowly looked down at the pile of long black hair lying on the ground The realization had finally hit him, and pictures of Kagome ran through his mind. Her once long raven black hair had been cut shorter, much shorter, and it was all his fault.
He picked up a small amount of the hair in his hand and looked down at it. His bangs lowered, covering his eyes. He clenched the hair tightly in frustration.
"Dammit." Inuyasha murmured.
Suddenly, Inuyasha heard a loud frustrated scream, and the strong stench of Kagome's tears entered his senses.
~*~
Kagome looked down at the water, and screamed out, her tears hitting the water. Her hair, though surprisingly even, barely reached her shoulders. Her bangs, which she had taken so much care to grow out, was partially cut. The very front two strands remained their original length, not quite as long as the rest of her hair had once been.
"Kagome, I understand that you feel bad about having your hair cut, but I'm being serious, you look fine. You look great actually." Sango replied, with a hint of hope in her voice. Hope that Kagome would calm down, and not do something she would regret later.
Kagome stood back up, and looked at Sango, eyes still glazed with tears.
"At least I don't look like Kikyo any more." Kagome replied with sarcasm in her voice.
Sango smiled, and gently gave Kagome a hug. They stayed like that for a few moments before gently letting go of each other. Kagome whipped away her tears, and smiled at Sango.
"I hope Inuyasha realizes that." Kagome whispered.
"I hope Inuyasha bursts into flames." Sango joked.
"Inuyasha!" Miroku's voice called from behind them.
They turned around to a very pissed off Miroku mumbling various insults about a certain Hanyou to himself. When he looked up, and saw Sango, he smiled.
"Ah lady Sango and lady Kagome, what a wonderful surprise." Miroku said cheerfully, but froze suddenly.
"Lady Kagome!?"
Tears began to well up in her eyes, but Kagome made sure they stayed there.
"Yes Miroku?" Kagome asked meekly.
Miroku looked at Sango, and she gave him a look that said 'say the wrong thing, and die'.
Miroku looked back at Kagome, and smiled.
"You look amazing lady Kagome! The hair suits you well." Miroku replied truthfully.
Kagome nodded solemnly, smiling at him with silent gratitude. Kagome looked at them both, and excused herself. She began to walk in a different direction. Sango tried to follow her, but Kagome shook her head, motioning that she wanted some time alone. Sango was hesitant, but had no choice, and let Kagome go.
"Just what happened here?" Miroku asked Sango.
~*~
Inuyasha stood there, replaying the occurrences in his head over and over again. Before he knew it, he was subconsciously walking towards the woods, and towards Kagome. He been shaken out of his thoughts when he reached an open field. Sitting under a tree, across the field, sat Kagome, deep in thought.
Inuyasha didn't see her, she was sitting behind a tree, but he knew it was her. As he began to walk closer to her, he got a better look at her hair. He had to admit, it was a lot shorter. Even from behind, he already had a better picture of what she looked like.
He slowly lowered his hand to her shoulder, but she jumped before he even touched her. She spun her head around to Inuyasha, and when she saw it was him, she stood up, and walked away.
"Kagome..." Inuyasha called as he chased after her.
Kagome continued walking away. Ignoring anything he said.
"Kagome." Inuyasha spoke a little louder.
When he was sure Kagome wouldn't respond, he grabbed her arm, but she pulled it away, still not stopping or turning around to look at him. She just kept walking away.
Inuyasha began to growl, and pushed Kagome against a tree so that she was facing him.
"Dammit woman, listen to me." Inuyasha growled loudly.
Kagome had been a been struck back by Inuyasha's action. Kagome looked up at him, her tears momentarily gone. He stared deep into her eyes, frustration clearly showing in his golden orbs.
"Inuyasha..."Kagome whispered.
"You're...you're looking at me." Kagome finished as she saw him looking at her. At HER, and not Kikyo. He was seeing her for her, and not as a reincarnation.
Inuyasha slowly let go of Kagome, his arms dropping to his side. Kagome stood there for a moment, she looked down, a tear rolling down her cheek, and ran into him, her arms wrapping around him in a hug. Inuyasha stood in shock, but slowly embraced her back. Kagome's tears flowing freely, her tears of happiness.
I know, I know, the characters are SO out of character in this chapter, but at the end, when Kagome hugs Inuyasha, there's been a couple of episode where that happens, so it isn't THAT out of character.
Thank you SO much for the reviews. I'm taking a poll. I'm not too sure if I should continue this story, or if I should just stop it here. I have a few ideas, but I wont bother continuing if you guys don't think I should.
Please help!
