Chapter 6: The Sting of Defeat
"So how's your dad doing in his new job?" Kohaku asked.
"I don't know. Probably fired again by now." He lifted his ringing cell phone, putting the receiver to his ear. "What is it?"
"Hakudoshi, come home immediately!"
"Why? I'm on my date!" he whispered, cupping his hand over the phone.
"Dad just got back from the temple! He's very angry! Says it has something to do with a woman named Kikyo?"
"Oh..." Hakudoshi bit his tongue innocently.
"Anyways, he wants to speak with you."
"Tell him to wait! My date's almost over!" he exclaimed.
"Fine." She hung up.
"Who was it?"
"It was Kagura. My dad's home, and not in a good mood."
"He must have messed up!" Kohaku grinned.
The server handed Kohaku the cheque.
"Thanks."
"Let me pay!" Hakudoshi offered.
"That's okay. I'll pay for the meal."
"No way! What's the use of conning my dad out of all his money if I can't spend any of it?" Hakudoshi piled bills onto the table.
"Suit yourself. Maybe you can take care of your sister's reserves next!"
"Yeah!"
Their laughter filled the restaurant.
…
"Hold still, Dad!" Kagura poked.
"Next year, Kanna's helping me find a job!" Naraku winced whenever Kagura applied antiseptic solution to the bee stings on his face.
"After what you've done, I think the economy is in recession. No one will want to hire you!"
"Grrrr, be quiet!"
She launched the whole bucket of cotton swabs at him. "Actors! So sensitive!"
