I do not own either Yu Yu Hakusho or Inuyasha. I do not make money off this fanfiction

Delayed Happiness

Sometimes the world just wanted everything you had and did not offer anything in return. This was the way of the universe. People would cover this up with happy sayings like, 'Good things comes to those who wait.' or 'Just keep moving forward.'

Well guess what morons...the world is an evil fucking place, that sucks ass.

My name is Kagome Higarashi, I have saved the world and the only thing I have to show for it is a broken heart. He lied to me, he left me for a clay pot, and he was a complete asshole the whole time. But I loved him anyways. And then he had the nerve to try and give me to his brother! Yeah, like that went well. Sesshomaru, Kami bless him, would never see me like that. It had nothing do with me being human or a miko, and everything to do with being a female. By the time our journey was over it came out that he had a lover in a wonderfully handsome MALE neko.

At the end of our travels I returned home, having kissed Sango and Miroku goodbye for the last time and giving Shippo the year of my return. Shippo looked so strong as he held onto Kirara for dear life. They said they understood my reasons for sealing the well and returning to life in the future...present...whatever.

But none of that made it any easier.

I went to high school, I went to college, and I could not find that happy ending that was supposed to come to the hereon of the story. There was no dramatic kiss or large over priced wedding for me. I was alone...until I bumped into him. I must have a thing for bad boy youkai. Of course he wasn't available, if the girl hanging on his arm was any indication. He smiled though, and I returned it with an apology for running into him.

"Yusuke, come on. We have to catch the movie."

"Yeah, yeah. Wasting my only day off going to see a movie..."

I watched the couple walk off in the direction of the cinema for a moment and felt the tug in my heart. Damn, I am also going to end up being the overlooked woman. Heading back in the direction in which I was heading I stopped at my detestation, a cafe and set down with a book The waitress took my order of an oolong tea and ran off to fill it. My book blocked my view of the street but not my sixth sense. The youkai from before was standing in front of me again.

"Excuse me..." He had been running, but not short of breath. "I could not just go see the move with my friend without getting your name and hopefully your phone number."

I looked over her book at him with a smile. Maybe the world wasn't so bad after all...maybe it just liked to delay happiness to make sure you got just the right happiness.

End

Okay I think my muse is in overdrive. I found this started on my computer...laughed out loud at the first couple paragraphs and knew it would make a great one shot. So here you have it...a one shot.
