【Inuyasha】White Moonlight and Vermillion Mole

Ah... rejected.

Kagome's eyebrows drooped, holding the gift, at a loss, and said dryly, "It's useless... How about, how about taking a look... How do you know if it's useful if you don't take a look? Combs and hairbands... After all, they can be used..."

Kagome's mind was in a mess, and she didn't know what to say randomly. She was in a panic to open the gift, "I picked them all, Kikyo, you will definitely be able to use them... The hair band tied on your head was taken from here, look, look..."

But inexplicably, the more panicked Kagome was, the harder it was to open the gift box. He clasped the box with his ten fingers and slowly stopped.

Kikyo pressed on the top of the box, with a complex look in her eyes, and there was a fleeting reluctance, "Ah Li... This, is it a gift for a friend?"

It was rare that she didn't refuse again, and there was room for further discussion. Kagome looked up in surprise, "Of course--" Of course.

When they met, Kikyo's black pupils were indifferent and calm, and his words suddenly stuck in his throat.

What do you mean, a gift for... a friend?

Kagome slowly opened her eyes, her throat was so dry that she could hardly speak, "Dang... Dang..." Of course.

After a long pause, she couldn't say those two words, as if they weighed a thousand pounds.

Kagome lowered her head in embarrassment, looking at Kikyo's hand on the souvenir. The hand in her field of vision was white and petite, and it seemed that she only needed to gently brush it away to get rid of this insignificant restraint, hide the souvenir, and refuse to answer this question.

The hands clasped on the box exerted a little force, and the joints turned white.

Qibao realized the subtlety of the situation. He looked at Kagome, then at Kikyo, and shrank his head to look blankly at the souvenir in Kagome's hand. Kikyo didn't accept it... It was useless? Then why ask strange questions? Just give it, what does it mean to be a gift to a friend? Aren't Kikyo and Kagome friends?

Incomprehensible questions, but at this moment, even if Qibao had a lot of questions, he kept his mouth shut and dared not speak.

After a long time, Kagome took several breaths, and took deep, rapid breaths to calm him down.

Kagome raised her head again, with a smile on her face, "Of course."

"Kikyo is my best friend."

Escape once is enough.

Kagome smiled brightly, without any haze, "Come to think of it, this is the first time I give a friend a gift."

In the past, I seemed to bring things by the way, and I never thought of preparing souvenirs.

He released one hand holding the souvenir, held Kikyo's hand on the top of the souvenir, and pulled it down to the position he had just held.

The remaining warmth on it was quickly covered by Kikyo's cold hand, and Kikyo's eyelashes trembled slightly.

Kagome passed it forward, her eyes fell on Shippo in Kikyo's arms, and she smiled and said, "Shippo, help me take it, it's a little heavy, haha, there seems to be food in it, if you want it, you can ask Kikyo."

Being called out suddenly, "Ah me?... Oh, oh, okay." Shippo hurriedly held the other side of the gift with both hands.

Kikyo's expression was the same as always, and she said lightly, "Thank you."

"Then..." Kagome whispered softly, her voice was so small that she chuckled, then she closed her eyes and took a deep breath, and her voice returned to normal when she opened her eyes.

"Since the gift has been given, I should go back."

Kagome lowered her head.

"Mica."

Mica grew bigger, Kagome put on her backpack, turned over and sat on it, and Kikyo kept watching his every move.

Kagome wanted to wave at her and leave directly, but when she noticed Kikyo's gaze, she suddenly felt relieved and explained, "Kikyo, I came here to say goodbye to you. Haha, after all, I'll be away for many days... I mentioned it to Kirara casually, and then I came here."

The souvenir was just a feeling he had, and he didn't mean to force Kikyo. Accepting it or not, it would not become part of the confirmed relationship.

So... you don't need to mind.

"I... I'm leaving, see you next time."

Kagome smiled and pulled Kirara's hair, her eyes quickly rising, he didn't look down, facing the wind with his eyes empty.

Kikyo listened to what Kagome said, and stood there without saying a word for a long time. Shippo kept holding the box for a long time, and his face turned red and he couldn't help but say, "Kikyo, can you... put it down first?" This posture is so uncomfortable.

"Sorry, Qibao." Kikyo reacted, put Qibao on the ground, rubbed his head and said apologetically, "You've worked hard."

"Ah, I'm not that tired." Qibao scratched his head and looked at the gift carefully, "Kikyo, this gift... What happened between you and A Li?"

Not understanding human emotions, let alone children, Qibao only knew that A Li and Kikyo were not right.

"Nothing." Kikyo said softly, holding the gift in her hand, but did not open it, or rather, she didn't want it.What mood should I open it with?

Kikyo understood what Kagome said before she left. He was telling her that this gift was just an ordinary gift without any meaning - even if she asked if it was a gift from a friend.

Kikyo couldn't help but be a little absent-minded when looking at the souvenirs, with a tiny light flashing in her eyes.

Kagome always said that Kikyo was gentle and considerate, but he didn't know that his every move was even more gentle and considerate, making it impossible for people to refuse.

Asuka and Butterfly, who had always been invisible, stepped forward.

"Kikyo-sama, do you want me to take it?" The box was not big, but it also required two hands to take it.

"No."

Kikyo refused, stood up and held the souvenir in her arms, she said, "I can do it myself."

Since it was a souvenir, she should also think about what to give in return.

Kikyo paused and looked up in the direction where Kagome left. Best friend... well.

-

Over the dense treetops, the familiar sacred tree stood out in a bush. Yunmu breathed a sigh of relief, finally arriving.

It sped up and soon landed beside the Bone-Eating Well, reminding Kagome who was stunned on its back.

"Ah~"

Kagome came back to her senses, "Ah, we're here."

He jumped off his back, patted Yunmu's head, and said gratefully, "Thank you, Yunmu, for the trouble today. You ran for so long."

Looking up at the sky, you can vaguely see a little orange-yellow cloud before dusk.

"Go back quickly, Yunmu, without me speeding up a little, you should be able to get back to Coral before it gets dark."

Yunmu rubbed Kagome's palm, roared again, jumped up, turned his head in mid-air to look at Kagome, and saw him standing by the well waving.

This is a farewell, Yunmu nodded, took a last look, and flew away.

The pale yellow figure became smaller and smaller, disappearing into the horizon. The expression on Kagome's face gradually faded, but the confusion in her eyes became more intense.

He accepted... rejected?

It seemed that he really did so.

Feeling empty inside, Kagome didn't know what expression he should make now.

Sad? Angry? Sad?

It seemed... a little bit of all, but more of confusion.

Kagome knew from the beginning that Kikyo would not agree to her one-sided love, and she hastily confessed her feelings with the mentality of giving it a try, but she didn't expect Kikyo to reject her with a friend. He thought... at least, with Inuyasha?

Kagome felt mixed emotions in her heart, and he sighed. Although her hope was dashed, Kikyo gave him enough face and didn't say it directly... He was also a person who was rejected.

He had never experienced it before.

"Eh... it's quite strange." He smiled bitterly.
