Summary: It is the things we do without thinking that seem to be the worst.
Kagome took a figurative step back from her current predicament and instead reflected on how it had occurred. She was newly returned from a three year absence and gods, how she had missed the feudal era. The air was so clean compared to the caustic scents that had been assaulting her. With muscles complaining from the sudden burst of exercise she pulled herself up and out. Their protests were ignored; eons had passed since she felt so at home.
Of course Inuyasha came; exactly as she remembered him. Senseless kisses and marriage proposals were what she expected; a pregnant pause and an awkward hug were what she got. Kagome had wrapped her hands around the restraining necklace that had tormented Inuyasha, pulling it up through his thick, wild mane. He didn’t need it anymore.
After this she asked for a few moments alone. Inuyasha had obliged, sprinting off to tell of her arrival. A few moments were all she got. Sesshoumaru entered the clearing and everything went to the dogs.
Golden eyes had caught blue with muted curiosity before a smirk dismissed her. She had hoped, fervently prayed that he would leave it at that look; it was more than enough. Apparently not. “Alone so soon, miko? Inuyasha is obviously enthralled.”
Blushing furiously she acted recklessly; Inuyasha must’ve rubbed off on her. She balled up the necklace, drew an arm back and pitched it at one daiyoukai.
Oh my, oh my, how that necklace flew! It untangled itself mid-flight, all without alerting one confident in spatial awareness. Regardless of her innocent intentions, it tumbled and twisted down. One part of the strand hit his regal head while the other flipped down over his brow.
In what a quagmire she found herself! Harsh words and rash actions never went well together.
