#36 -- “Hey–it’s okay. I’m here; I’m safe. And fine–see? Everything’s alright now.”

100 Prompts of Fluff (Part 1)

Heyyy, first prompt! I’m going to assume this is for InuKag as there is no ship mentioned! So this is set during the early manga, probably right before the Spider episode / the first new moon. I tweaked the sentence a little so it’d work better with my idea, and I hope you’ll enjoy it anon! (I’m going to tag @mustardyellowsunshine in this one because I think I remember her saying she liked early manga stories ^-^)

Inuyasha was having a shitty day. Not that it was anything new, because it had been a shitty week, shitty month, shitty year, shitty fucking life. Today had to be something special, though, because Kagome was back in her world.

Wait, that sounded wrong. That wasn’t the direct reason why today sucked. Course not. He didn’t care that she was gone. If he’d been able to get the Jewel without her around, she could have stayed there fucking forever for all he cared, with her bright blue eyes, and her kind smile, and her lovely smell, and her adorable laugh and—

Point was, she could stay there. No need to expand on that. He did not care.

In fact, the reason he’d left the village today was to try and find a way to hunt shards on his own. He should have thought about it and tried it earlier, obviously. He wasn’t sure why he hadn’t, but it had to be a completely inconsequential reason. Her last departure, which had left him alone with Shippo, had been the last straw for him.

He had left the village early the next morning, following a rumor about a Jewel Shard, leaving the kid with Kaede. It had given him a weird, unpleasant feeling, and made him wonder if it was the right thing for him to do.

Him. Feeling remorse.

Getting the Jewel was fucking overdue. If he was a full demon, he would never have to feel like that again. Demons had emotions, sure, but not the bad ones. Not the ones that can hurt you. Not pain, not guilt. Not hope. Not love…

Anyway, it had been a stupid waste of time. He’d spent three days there, meaning Kagome had to be back and she was probably the one waiting for him for once — ha! —, and he hadn’t found anything. He had taken down a couple of pretty strong demons, and then, in frustration, had cleaned out most of the forest, but he hadn’t been able to find anything. The most frustrating part was that that didn’t even mean there was no shard there. He just couldn’t tell.

He’d thought his nose would help. Well, turned out his nose couldn’t pick on something that was buried inside someone. Who’d have thought.

Sesshomaru might have said something about how he totally could have, and Inuyasha let out an annoyed hiss at the thought, his ears flattening against his skull.

Fucking full demons. He’d show them.

He entered the village in the afternoon. The villagers were on edge, but they generally were around him. He had set the place on fire and injured several of their grandparents, so he could understand it, and he didn’t care anyway. That was his relationship with humans, always had been. He had no regrets. Those people weren’t saints either, and if his scars didn’t fade so quickly, he would have had some nasty proofs of it.

He knew from the second he entered that Kagome was at Kaede’s place, and it strangely soothed him. Probably because it was the first thing that went well since she’d left.

When he arrived, he found her sitting in front of the house, head hanging low. For once, Shippo wasn’t jumping all over the place trying to get her attention, but instead had his head on her thigh, like a dog attempting to comfort his owner. Inuyasha couldn’t help but frowning at the sight. What was it this time? Was it that— maths thing that was giving her trouble? Did he need to go and slice some people into pieces? He wouldn’t mind doing that. Might make her more efficient.

“Keh, ya better be ready ‘cause we’re leaving this place as—”

“Where were you?”

He blinked. He’d expected her to get all annoyed at him for telling her what to do. Not that quiet, worried voice.

He wasn’t sure he liked that much better.

“Ah, Inuyasha,” Kaede said, walking out of her hut, “I take it ye didn’t run into the monks then?”

He frowned at the question, but he didn’t get any time to process it.

“Kaede said there were warrior monks in the area, purifying demons,” Kagome said, voice trembling slightly. “And since she said you’d just disappeared, we thought you might have—”

Inuyasha looked at her attentively.

He didn’t understand. He didn’t understand why she’d looked so sad when he had arrived, he didn’t understand why she was shaking. He understood even less when her expression suddenly changed to one of anger.

“You jerk!”

With that, she stood up and stomped towards the well, while Inuyasha replied with a half-hearted “The hell wrong with ya, wench?”.

“Aren’t you going to go after her?” Shippo asked, looking at him like he was the stupidest person on the planet.

“Ha? It ain’t my fault that she’s—”

“Kagome really worried for ye, Inuyasha,” Kaede said in that gentle yet judgmental tone that all old people seemed to master. “Ye should warn us, next time ye decide to leave.”

He scoffed. Worried? Why would she be worried? They were vaguely partners, forced to work together due to the circumstances. Nothing more, so no reasons for her to worry. If he wasn’t there, she’d probably find another way to go after the Jewel. Wouldn’t change anything in her life. Still, he didn’t want to waste any more time in the Jewel shards hunt, so with a growl, he followed after her. Shippo and Kaede exchanged a meaningful glance

He landed in front of her, in the middle of the forest, and he really, really thought he was going to hear the ‘sit’ word, but it never came. Instead, she folded her arms, glaring at him like she wanted to pierce a hole through his skin with only her eyes.

“What’s wrong with ya?”

“With me? You’re the one who just— We thought you were—”

Shit. Shit. Those were tears. She wasn’t crying yet, but she was close enough, and he could not handle that.

“W-well it’s— It’s okay. ‘m here. ‘m safe. ‘m fine—see?”

He extended his arms as if to prove it to her, and Kagome took a deep breath, studying him. Clearly, he wasn’t injured. Well— he’d healed, but he wasn’t going to mention that. He was already worried enough that she was going to explode or something.

“Ya good now?”

She glowered at him, and he tensed, but finally her angry frown broke into a smile. The type of smile that warmed his insides and, when it was directed at him, made him feel like he was— like he was actually a person. Not a nuisance, not someone to get rid of, not a target for a murder.

Someone who people could care for.

“You’re an idiot,” she said, turning around to walk back towards the village.

“You’re the idiot,” he replied automatically, following after her and easily getting ahead of her. ”Thinking some weak monks could get rid of me. I’m not like ya weak humans, ’s gonna take a lot more than that.”

Kagome scoffed, and Inuyasha slowed down his pace, which was naturally faster than her, to walk by her side. His haori’s sleeve brushed against that of her school uniform. Not too close just yet, but not as far away as they were yesterday.

“So what were you doing?” she asked.

He shrugged it off. His previous concerns, about wanting to travel without her, seemed stupid now that she was there, by his side.

“Doesn’t matter, I won’t need it.”

Everything was going to be alright now.
