Pathetic

Phae’s Word Prompts: Dismissed

            Kagome looked at her reflection in the water of the river.

            Her face was thinner than usual; she hadn’t been eating much lately. She had taken great care to straighten her hair and put it in the traditional style. She was even wearing a miko uniform.

            She looked more like Kikyo than ever, but Inuyasha still hadn’t paid her any attention. She had gone out of her way to look more Kikyo, but her new look had only resulted in a few strange looks from her companions. Inuyasha hadn’t even noticed the difference.

            “What’s wrong with me?” she whispered.

            “Pathetic.”

            Kagome spun around, coming face to face with Sesshomaru. “Wh-what?”

            Sesshomaru sniffed dismissively, not looking at her. In fact, he spoke only after he had turned his back on her and started walking towards the camp.

            “You have changed yourself for the half-breed; this one had not believed you to be so weak.”

            Kagome stared at the space where the daiyoukai had been standing, before turning to look back at the water.

            Kagome pulled out her hair ribbon and cocked her head, watching as her came loose and framed her face.

            She began giggling to herself softly.

            “Thank you, Sesshomaru.”

This is an almost time-lapse continuation of Still His.

Maybe…

It’s certainly somber enough.
