She told him she loved him.
And he had laughed.
When he looked up, she was gone.
Her scent mingled.
It smelled of angst and despair.
She had not cried like he wanted her to.
She promised she wouldn't.
And Higurashi Kagome always keeps her promises.
She told him she would kill him.
And he had laughed.
So she had promised.
She kept that promise.
When she was about to kill him…
He told her he was sorry.
And she had laughed.
