Hey, y'all. I'm back with yet another chapter of Rejection. :D Mind you, this chapter was not planned out and I'm just making it up as I go. Now read!
Rejection
Inuyasha was lazing in his favorite tree, the Goshinboku, during a beautiful spring day. He sighed happily as he stared up at the clear blue sky. Laughter drifted up to his ears, causing them to twitch. He looked down from his perch to see his friends teasing Miroku for his outfit.
"Wow, Miroku. You look so…attractive!" Kagome giggled. Sango couldn't say anything because she was literally rolling on the ground with laughter; tears were forming at the corner of her eyes. Miroku looked annoyed with his companions and Inuyasha couldn't help but let out a small chortle at the monk's situation.
"La dee la la loo!" Shippo sang as he skipped around Miroku while simultaneously threw little flowers in the air. Miroku snarled at this.
Inuyasha took this time to look over Miroku's clothes. Kagome and Sango had given him a tiny pink bikini that had "Sexy Chick" written across the butt in silver glitter. The top portion of the bathing suit was small. "Too small to fit Kagome's breasts," Inuyasha mused to himself. He wondered why Kagome had that bikini to begin with…
The hanyou was broken out of his reverie by Miroku's shout. "Would you guys please stop? I was ridiculed enough by the villagers; I don't need from you as well. I thought you were supposed to be my friends'," he sniffed.
"Oh, come on, Miroku. You know we are only joking," Kagome patted the poor monk on the back.
"You can't deny that you deserved this as punishment for always peeking on us when we're bathing," Sango snickered.
"Yeah, and for just being perverted in general," Shippo added. Kirara mewed in agreement.
"Fine, I deserved it, I'll admit. So can we go look for my monk's robes now?"
Inuyasha jumped down from the tree and landed right behind Kagome. He wrapped his arms around her and nuzzled his face into the crook of her neck before looking up and joining in on the conversation.
"I agree with the monk. I, for one, am sick of looking at him in clothes like that, It's repulsive!"
"Yeah…Hey, wait!" Miroku looked offended. Sango cut him off by dragging him towards the hot springs, the others in tow.
"Sango, dearest. I did not know you wanted alone time at the springs, "Miroku waggled his eyebrows suggestively. Sango rolled her eyes and smacked him upside the head.
"We're going to look for your robes. Nothing more." Miroku sighed in defeat. A man can dream, right?
A few minutes later and the group arrived at their destination. Miroku began looking everywhere; under rocks, behind bushes, in the trees and even in the little burrow of a family of rabbits. Let's just say papa bunny wasn't too happy with this and bit poor Miroku on the nose, who howled in pain and claimed that he would 'purify that pathetic little bunny ass and send it to the farthest pits of hell.'
Sango and Kagome were hurriedly whispering amongst themselves about how they were going to sneak Miroku's clothes back.
"On of us can always run back and grab his robes then hide them somewhere near here for him to find," Kagome suggested. Sango nodded and decided that she would be the one to do it if Kagome could keep Miroku distracted.
As Sango ran off towards the village, she heard Kagome ask Miroku how the search was going. "I wonder where I should hide the monk's robes when I retrieve them from Lady Kaede's hut," Sango wondered. She found herself outside the hut and quietly walked in. Kaede was no where to be seen, so Sango grabbed the blue and purple robes and started back to the springs.
A few feet from where her friends' were searching for the robes, Sango found the perfect spot to place them. At the base of an old tree, its roots were jutting from the ground and were covered in moss and vines. Sango gently nestled them in between two roots and silently snuck back to Kagome.
"Hey," she tapped her friend on the shoulder. "I put the robes over there." Kagome looked to where Sango pointed and nodded her head. She then walked up to Miroku and cleared her throat to get his attention.
"Miroku, have you looked over there yet?" Kagome pointed towards the tree where Sango had hid the robes just moments before. Miroku shook his head and walked over to the large tree.
"Ah ha," Miroku smiled triumphantly. "My robes are right here." He quickly grabbed his robes and ran to the other side of tree to change. When he came back out, he handed Sango the pink bikini and began walking back to the village, a bounce in his step. Sango, Shippo and Kirara followed.
When Kagome started behind Sango, Inuyasha grabbed her wrist and pulled her to his chest. He buried his face in her raven locks as he wrapped his strong arms around her waist. "I love you," he mumbled into her hair. Kagome smiled and snuggled closer into Inuyasha's warmth.
"I love you, too, Inuyasha," she whispered. Inuyasha then pulled her to the ground with him. He plopped into a sitting position, Kagome in his lap. They sat there quietly for awhile, just enjoying each other's presence.
Inuyasha finally broke the comfortable silence. "Kagome, I'm so glad that you're mine," he began. "I love you and I know you love me, too. So I was wondering…" Inuyasha couldn't find the words to explain. Kagome gave him a sweet look that told him to continue.
"I was wondering if…if you'd…if you'd become my mate?" Inuyasha hung his head in shame, expecting Kagome to reject him. He was pleasantly surprised however, by Kagome's answer.
"I'd love to, Inuyasha," she tackled him backwards. Kagome knew the standards of mates because she and Sango had talked about it many times. She kissed Inuyasha passionately. He smiled into the kiss and laughed when they broke apart for air.
"You've made me the happiest hanyou ever, Kagome." So the two love birds sat in silence, wrapped in each other's arms, thinking about their future together.
So this story isn't over yet. Maybe two more chapters, maybe more. I haven't really planned out the end so I'm not for sure. Well please review and let me know if you'd like to see some Sango and Miroku fluff at all. I'll gladly write a chapter just for them if I am asked to. :)
