It's always the firsts that are recorded, but what about the seconds? A series of unrelated oneshots. Disclaimer: I own neither Inuyasha nor YuYu Hakusho.

AN: Here I go again, drabbling when I really should be working on my entry for The Deadliest Sin's Big Bang. *shrug* Well, enjoy!

Once More, This Time With The Other Woman

Kagome looked on from afar, hidden in the tree line where he'd left her. Watching them together, tears springing to her eyes, she couldn't help but recall memories of the past, when she'd spied on another couple. Just like back then, they shared a short, tragic past together. Just like back then, she'd urged him to go to her.

But unlike back then, she didn't feel the overwhelming jealousy and sadness that almost allowed a Shikon shard to take hold of her.

As she stood there, hidden amongst the trees, she couldn't help but smile as she watched them embrace and little blue stones fell with tinks on the ground.

This time, she didn't really mind being the other woman.
