Prompt: Drabble for xgrenade about about Prince Hojo
He walked into WacDonald's like visiting royalty. A hush fell over the room. All the girls craned their necks to get a better view of the Prince.
If only he would sit at their table. If only he talk to them. If only. If only.
The great man stopped at last. Kagome's friends gasped as one. He was right there standing in front of them. Their hearts skipped a beat as one.
Please sit with us. Please talk with us. Please. Please. Please.
Finally, one of them got up the nerve to say something.
"Would you like to sit with us? " said Eri with a quaking voice.
"Thank you for the invitation, maybe when I have more time." Hojo said as he pulled a wrapped package from his pocket.
"Kagome. My mother tells me that these powders will cure your arthritis."
Kagome took the package as it were the plague. Did she really look like she was arthritic. Between Grandpa spreading stories to cover her absences and Hojo believing everything he said
she had a whole new set of problems. She skrunched further down in her seat.
"Thank you, Hojo. I appreciate your kindness. Thank your mother for me."
Hojo was emboldened by her acceptance of her gift.
"Would you go to the movies on Sunday with me?"
Kagome was flabberghasted. Did he just ask me on a date? What should she do?
The girls pounced on her
"It's Hojo"
"Most popular boy in school."
"You've got to go."
Kagome felt like claustrophobic all of a sudden. She found it hard to breathe. All she could do was squeak out.
"Sure, I'd love to go."
Hojo beamed "I'll stop by around 1pm on Sunday,." and marched out of restaurant as if he had just conquered the world. The girls descended upon Kagome like pirana in a feeding frenzy. They had won. One of their group was going to date Hojo. Kagome went from shy shrine girl to
instant celebrity.
All Kagome could do was cringe. She had no desire to date Hojo. Grandpa would just have to find a new disease for her before Sunday.
