Summary: Kagome teaches Sango a new game.
Fortune's Flowering
"…he loves me… he loves me not." She plucked the last petal from the daisy, staring at the yellow center forlornly.
"Kagome-chan?"
The teenager turned at the sound of Sango's voice, a small smile gracing her lips.
"What are you doing out here alone?"
"Trying to be mature. Trying not to be mad at Inuyasha… again," Kagome replied, turning as Sango took a seat in the grass next to her.
"Is it working?"
Shaking her head in wordless response, Kagome absently spun the de-petaled flower between fingers.
Sango reached over to take the stem from her. "And you're taking your aggressions out on this poor flower?"
Her friend laughed softly at this. "It's a silly game I played as a girl. It's supposed to determine if you'll end up with the boy you love."
Reaching over, Kagome plucked another bloom from the grass. "You pull a petal and say 'he loves me' and then 'he loves me not' for the next one until they're all gone. Whatever you end on is how the guy feels."
Kagome stood, tossing the blossom aside. "But it's just a silly superstition. It doesn't mean anything."
Sango watched her friend walk back to camp, worrying over the seemingly hopeless love she had for Inuyasha. Picking up the discarded flower, Sango thought of the violet eyes that she'd come to love herself.
"…he loves me not… he loves me." Sango smiled.
'Maybe it is just a silly child's game, Kagome-chan, but I still have hope.'
