Kagome stood in front of the well, arms crossed in a very Inuyasha-like pose, as the hanyou stood in front of her rambling on and on, making no sense. It didn't matter what he said anyway, she had stopped listening. She was currently concentrating all her energy to stave off crying.

She had caught them together again. 'How many times will I put myself through this?' she asked herself before her thoughts were interrupted by three simple words. "What did you say?" she asked, incredulous.

"I said . . . I love you," he responded in a soft, questioning tone.

"How could you say that!" she whispered, unable to restrain the tears any longer.

"What!"

"I just saw you with Kikyou!" she screamed. "You can't keep doing this! You can't run off with her one day and expect to come back to me the next. You can't continue to play with my heart like this! You're treating my affection for you like some kind of joke!" Then, before he could utter a word in his defense, she jumped into the well.

"But I wasn't joking," he choked out, dumbfounded, unaware she wasn't listening when he told her of his final goodbye to Kikyou.

The End

I have such a hard time writing funny stories, which is pretty funny since in person I am rarely seen without a smile on my face and a wise crack on my lips. Oh well, I guess this worked, because I got 1st place for this piece! Yea!
