Inuyasha walked through the forest to where he knew the soul stealers were all going to.
He reached a clearing and saw her standing in the middle.
Kikyo…
She turned to look at him, an ethereal beauty that took his breath away every time he saw her.
He approached her slowly with his hands outspread, aching to touch her, even if she was only a shadow of her former self. She looked at him with no emotion on her face but she fell into his embrace willingly.
"Inuyasha…"
"Kikyo…"
Inuyasha never noticed Kagome had followed him and now stood behind a tree, wide eyed. But Kikyo did, and she looked up to give her reincarnation a triumphant look.
"Kikyo, I have something to tell you."
"Yes Inuyasha?" Kikyo looked up at him with her dark brown eyes.
"Kikyo, I-I love you."
"Boooo!!!! That was horrible!!"
"What the?" Kikyo and Inuyasha both looked around the clearing to find the voice that had suddenly rang out. They expected to find some voyeur hiding in the tress but instead they saw Kagome sitting against a tree…
…with a bowl of popcorn.
"Truly little half-brother, I thought you had more class in you."
…and Sesshoumaru, apparently.
"Kagome?!?!"
"I mean, come on!! Where was the buildup, Inuyasha? You can't just go and say 'I love you' with no buildup!"
"This Sesshoumaru agrees with the miko."
Kagome nodded furiously and proceeded to throw popcorn at the stunned pair.
"I thought I taught you better than that, Inuyasha! You're supposed to say stuff about how you first met or how she seemed so beautiful in the moonlight"
Sesshoumaru tsked at him and shook his head.
Kagome continued, "But you didn't do any of that! Who'd watch that and be interested?!? And you people wonder why I run off when I see you guys together! Jesus Christ!"She grabbed the bowl and chucked it at Inuyasha's head. He was too shocked to move.
"You're a horrible romantic!!!"
Kagome huffed angrily at them and stomped off, leaving the bowl and a popcorn covered Inuyasha.
Kikyo blinked and turned to the man in her arms.
"Inuyasha? I've realized something. Kagome's right. I think we need some time apart, ya know, see other people?"
Inuyasha was dumbfounded. "Wha? Kikyo?"
"I'm sorry it had to end this way." Kikyo waved for her soul stealers to take her away. "But we can still be friends!!" she shouted down to him as they took her into the sky.
Inuyasha remained on the ground, stunned into absolute silence.
"This Sesshoumaru needs more popcorn."
