“Kagome, what’s with the tears?”

Sitting in the meadow they’d visited the day Inuyasha had almost lost her to Naraku and Kagura, Kagome looked up to find a large barrier blocking out the rays of sunlight that had been spilling throughout the small area. “Huh?”

As her eyes finally adjusted, her mind filled in the blank instantly, though her heart had already put a face to the voice. Two ears twitched in wonder as she continued to stare up at him dumbly.

“I asked why you are crying.”

“Oh.” She hadn’t really noticed the crystal like tears that had fallen down her face until he mentioned them. Wet and slightly sticking to her cheeks, she started to use her school bandana when she realized it had been ruined in the latest demon hunt. She grimaced at the reminder of green goo and guts all over her outfit. Now in only a short blue skirt and summer sky blue tank, she sighed when something red was thrust into her vision.

Inuyasha now sitting beside her was offering the sleeve of his kimono.

Kagome chuckled, making the hanyou’s confusion deepen.

“Now what? Don’t tell me, you think there are stains and crap all over it right?” He huffed in irritation. Humans and their stupid concerns with being tainted, no wonder they never really got along with demons.

Getting ready to just leave the wench alone, he felt a small tug on his sleeve and found Kagome dabbing away the tears on the sleeve. When she finished, she gave him a smile that deflated any anger he might have had.

“You’re such a weird human.” Muttering under his breath, he didn’t protest when she cuddled into his side and closed her eyes.

“Right back at you, dog-boy.” She murmured, the rumble of his amusement at the comment lulling her to sleep.

“She never told you why?” Miroku asked his friend after both he and Kagome had returned.

Inuyasha muttered about something about a silly book that made her cry with happy tears when a brilliant popped on in the monk’s head.

“Do you mind if I borrow it for Sango?”

The hanyou frowned at his friend. “What for?”

Giving him a knowing smirk, the man patted his oblivious friend’s shoulder. “Happy tears are key, my friend.”
