Title: A rainstorm in my soul
Author: JeniNeji
Prompt: Repair
Genre: T
Words: 300
Summary: CU. Kagome finally snaps.
Everything happened so fast. The females glared at each other for a minute before Kagome finally lost it and screamed all her anger, frustration and despair.
No one dared said anything or run after her when she sprinted towards Inuyasha’s forest.
Except…Jaken.
The short toad demon wobbled behind her clumsily. Half-way to the Bone Eater’s Well a sudden rainstorm ensued and his concern for the miko grew tenfold. It was one of those days were he cursed his short limbs and his lack of speed.
He found the human child a while later, curled in a fetal position under Goshinboku. The excitement he felt at having found her safe and sound was quickly quenched down when he realized he didn’t know what to do now.
Rin always repaired herself but this other human, Kagome, seemed far more broken than what Rin has ever been. Something deep inside told him this wouldn’t fix by itself. So, after a deep breath the green toad valiantly moved closer to the sobbing girl.
He stood there for a minute but she never noticed his presence until he placed his small hand atop her black hair. She instantly flinched and her brown eyes found him. Anger sparkled from her eyes and she immediately trapped him in between her hands. He squeaked fearing she was going to squeeze him to death, and he could see such intent on her eyes, but she seemed to think twice and released him forcefully.
She turned to her side and sobbed some more, making mud cling to her, but she didn’t seem to care.
Neither did he as he sat at her side and petted her head while muttering nonsense. At the periphery of his vision he saw his Lord, who sent a small, grateful his way.
He does care.
