iyfic_contest Week 137, Heart-Shaped theme.
Inuyasha looked at the odd glittering item that seemed to hold Kagome's hair in a certain position. He tilted his head, blinking. He recognized the shape, although he never knew why humans thought hearts looked like that. He'd had enough raw meals to know that hearts most definitely didn't look like that.
Kagome noticed his staring, and blinked. "Inuyasha, what's wrong?"
Inuyasha looked at her, then pointed at the thing in her hair. "What the hell is that thing?"
Kagome blinked once more, and carefully pulled the heart-shaped item from her hair. "This?" He nodded. "This is a hair clip. I use it to keep my hair back. Here, let me show you." Leaning over, she slipped the silver clip through his hair, and had it tucked back. Smiling, she pulled it right back, and returned it to her hair.
Inuyasha listened, but seemed irritated. "Keh, why the hell do you need that thing? And it's so bright! Take it off!"
Kagome gave him an annoyed look, then shook her head and returned to studying. Inuyasha, deciding he probably wouldn't get her to take it off, jumped up in a tree. He smiled a bit as he looked at her, wondering how one little item could make her look even more beautiful. 'Someday,' he thought. 'Someday I'll tell her how I feel.'
