Holy shit! It has been over a year since I have updated this story. I am so so so so sorry! I've had a rough time lately. My dog who I've had since I was nine (I'm almost twenty now) died back in July. I was depressed for MONTHS. And before that, I was diagnosed as bipolar and wanted to work through that before I did anything else. My life is back on track so here is another chapter or Rejection. Just a forewarning, I'm kind of forcing this out because Inuyasha just doesn't capture my fancy like it used to. I am now a Dragon Ball Z fangirl! (: If any of you like DBZ and ship for the Vegeta/Bulma pairing, I have two stories up that you might like. One of which I just wrote tonight. Anyways, onwards with the story!
Disclaimer: I almost never do this. Shame on me! I do not own Inuyasha. All rights belong to Rumiko Takahashi.
It was time. A few months had passed since the ring incident and now Kagome was currently getting dressed for her feudal era wedding. She sighed deeply in agitation. This was only one out of two weddings she would have to deal with this month. And sadly, she had a feeling this would be the easier of the two.
Just then, Sango walked in the hut donning her brand new deep blue kimono with little white birds flying up the sleeves and hem and a green obi. Her hair was left down in a simple braid tied with a matching blue ribbon. In short, she looked lovely. "Sango, you look wonderful," Kagome complimented her long time friend. The young demon slayer just blushed.
"Speak for yourself, Kagome! You look absolutely stunning." And it was the truth. Kagome was wearing a pristine white kimono with a light pink and red obi. Her hair was resting on her head in a simple yet elegant bun, leaving a few wisps to frame her face. She wore light pink eye shadow and blush and clear gloss on her lips. "Why thank you, mi'lady," she and Sango giggled quietly.
Sobering up, Sango asked the dreaded question, "Are you ready?" Kagome suddenly became nervous again. She paled and began shivering. "Kagome, are okay?" Sango reached out, worried that her friend may have come down with a disease recently. "I'm fine, Sango. Really." Said demon slayer gave the younger girl a hard look that clearly said she didn't believe her.
Kagome sighed. "I don't know, Sango. Now that I think about, I don't know if I'm ready," she whispered. Sango covered her mouth. There was no way Kagome and Inuyasha didn't love each other. They had spent the last few years* together; there was just no way either one of them was backing out of this! "Kagome, how could you think that? Everyone knows you and Inuyasha are meant to be. I think it's just nerves," Sango finished by brushing stray hairs out of the miko's face.
"I do love him, Sango. But I think this is just all too soon. Maybe if I go for a walk it'll help me clear my head. I'll be back in time for the ceremony, promise." Sango nodded her consent and Kagome slipped out of the hut and began her walk to the well. She knew what she was doing was wrong, but it also felt so damn right. This is what needed to be done. Kagome picked up her pace when the clearing that housed the well came into view. She ran towards it and nearly flung herself into the time traveling abyss.
The young maiden sighed sadly as she gazed at her surroundings for the last time. After this, she knew she would never be able to show her face in the feudal era again. Her blue eyes closed for a few seconds before she opened them and launched herself into the well.
The black and blue void soared past her as a few tears leaked from her eyes. When she landed in her time, Kagome immediately climbed out of well. She shut the doors over the ancient well and pulled a few sutras from her kimono. The miko placed the sutras on the doors and the well itself. Once situated to her liking, Kagome pulled her right to her face, closed her eyes, and chanted the spell of sealing. Sighing, she turned away and left the shrine to begin her long walk back to her old life.
So, short chapter but DRAMA BOMB. :) Hopefully, this hooks you back in. But don't worry; the story doesn't end this way. Tell me what you think! If I can get ANY reviews after all this time, I will update immediately.
*I honestly don't remember how old I made Kagome in this story and I couldn't find a reference to it in my previous chapters. Oops. So I'm thinking she's like seventeen or eighteen. Yeah. That works.
Kikira Lynn is out!
