Bad Day:
Inuyasha watched as Kagome stomped around their little campsite, frowning furiously. Thinking back, he tried to imagine what had thrown her into such an annoying snit. We got attacked by bandits who kidnapped Kagome and I killed them…we got attacked by a youkai and it almost ate Kagome but I killed that too…We got thrown out of a village and I tried to kill them but Kagome wouldn't let me…Now we're in the forest and there are no hot springs around here so she took a cold bath in the river…. Inuyasha nodded as he came to a realization. "You had a bad day," he announced.
"Brilliant deduction," snarled Kagome, toweling her hair furiously. "What gave it away?"
"You aren't smiling," Inuyasha answered with that uncanny knack for excruciating honesty. "You always smile. You don't look like you when you aren't smiling."
Kagome blinked at him, her mouth agape. She hadn't expected him to realize and certainly never thought he would care enough to comment. "Well, it was a hard day but I suppose I'm really okay in the end."
He reached out and plucked the towel from her unmoving hands. "Get back to smiling then. Frowning doesn't look normal on you."
"What does that mean?"
"It's weird to not see you smile. I got used to it." With that unsettling pronouncement, Inuyasha draped the towel to dry near the fire and set off to find dinner.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome called out as he stepped from the clearing.
"What?"
"Did you miss me smiling?" she asked hesitantly, not even sure where the question was coming from.
He gave her a quizzical look and shook his head as if to clear it from distracting buzzing. "I don't know, I didn't think about it. I just know you and I know you are a smiling person. I frown and you smile. That's the way we work…" Nodding once, he strode off, the more emotional tone to the conversation no doubt lending wings to his feet.
Kagome stared at the place he had vacated.
"I frown and you smile. That's the way we work…"
"Opposites," she acknowledged to herself as she tidied up their campsite. "Opposites but we... we work."
When Inuyasha came back with supper, Kagome was smiling once again.
