InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Bits From The Big Yellow Bag ❯ Working Together ( Chapter 12 )

Working Together

 

 

He kicked at a stone angrily as he listened to her squeal over yet another field of “pretty flowers!”

 

“I don't see what's so damned pretty about it,” he scoffed. He tapped his nose. “There's nothing great about this places; there was a battle here a year or so ago; I can still sorta smell the corpses.”

 

She ignored him, picking a flower here and there.

 

They were as different as rain and sun, night and day… chalk and cheese, he insisted. From their looks (his light and yet tanned “exotic” flavor versus her dark and yet pale “natural” design) to their outlooks (he knew the world was hell; she couldn't see the vultures for all the damned butterflies.)

 

He'd tried using the phrase “like human and youkai” once; Kagome tossed it back in his face that obviously he was a combination of the two, and he wasn't that bad so that meant they worked well together!

 

`Stupid wench.'

 

He sighed, “You're too damned different.”

 

“Maybe,” she shot back, “rather than focusing on our differences, you should look at how we're similar!”

 

InuYasha lifted an eyebrow in challenge. Kagome dropped her flowers in thought.

 

“Can't think of a thing, can you?”

 

Silence hung over the meadow.

 

“Keh, told you so. C'mon, wench; it's gonna rain soon and your flimsy human hide ain't worth a damn in a storm.” He turned to lead her to a low, rocky area guaranteed to have a cave or two… but was stopped by a hand on his arm.

 

“I still think you're looking at this wrong.”

 

“Huh?”

 

“We may be different… but it takes both the rain and the sun to make a rainbow,” she said softly. “Maybe one day, we can do beautiful things together.”

 

InuYasha blinked and tilted his head.

 

`Stupid wench.'
