DISCLAIMER: I don't own Inuyasha

A/N: Just another one of the many authors trapped into attempting the 100 word fics. This should be fun…

Victory and Defeat

By: Of Memories Past

     I'm not backing down. Never.

     Keep focused…concentrate only on victory.

     Oh gosh, something's tickling my nose. The prickling sensation inside is driving me insane, but I can't give in lest my eyes shut. Must show no weaknesses…

     The tickling gets stronger, but again, I fight it. I have to win.

     His gaze is relentless as he remains focused on our battle as I struggle to remain so.

     The tickling intensifies even more…oh no! Almost there…

     "ACHOO!"

     "Ah ha!" he shouts, his amber eyes screaming victory. "I win!"

     I grumble, walk away, and ignore his gloating.

     It's just a staring contest.
