Bedeviling a Daiyoukai
Kagome had made a game of it. She loved seeing how much Sesshoumaru could take before he broke and either destroyed what she was toying with or questioned her on the nature of the thing she was doing.
Maybe she was sick in the head, but to her this was fun.
Beep. *pause* Beep.
From under her lashes she watched as the tick Sesshoumaru usually developed right before reacting began to surface. Rather fondly, she cupped the electronic game she was playing in her hands and continued to play—hoping against hope that he wasn't in a breaking mood today.
Beep. *pause* Beep.
From across the kitchen table, Sesshoumaru sighed audibly and rustled the paper in his hands. Secretly, Kagome smiled to herself and counted mentally. One, two, three—
"Miko," came Sesshoumaru's stern sounding voice.
She lifted her head, feigning innocence most perfectly if she were asked. "Yes, Sesshoumaru?"
"What are you doing?"
"Playing," she replied, loving being vague and annoying.
The tick in his cheek twitched. Twice. "Playing what?"
At that moment in time Kagome pushed the roll button on her game and glanced down to see the numbers that the game produced. Just as she did that the tune she loved to hear played and then the score board rolled into action. "Yahtzee!" she cried out, finally beating her high score after several months of trying.
Finish.
a/n: I have a secret obsessive love when it comes to playing Yahtzee (high score 538 at this moment in time) and I'm sure it drives both my roommate and my kids insane, but hell. I gotta play.
