--Fun and Games--
From behind her back, Kagome whipped out a long box. "Pleeaseeee, Miroku-sama, just play with me?" She looked up from under her eyelashes at the tall young man.
"Come now, Kagome, you know I'm no good at those."
The young girl grinned. "I know. That's why I want to play. Now sit down."
Miroku sighed and sat down, resigned to his fate. Kagome got the game out and started setting up the board. "Now, just pay attention. It's easier than you make it, sometimes."
Quietly, Miroku reached across the board and took Kagome's hand. Drawing it to his lips, he kissed it, and reached over to her. Suppressing a shiver, she drew her hand away. "Ooh, Miroku, stop. You're just trying to distract me! Now, it's your move."
Across from her, her opponent pouted. "Fine, but I want a drink of water now."
Kagome thought for a moment, then finally thought it would be better to just get it now that have to deal with his whining later. Besides, she was already beating him.
Two minutes later, she walked back into the room, carrying two glasses of water and a small snack. "'Kay, are you ready to play now-" Kagome gasped. Scattered over all the floor were the little game pieces. Sitting in the middle of the chaos was Miroku, staring sheepishly up at her.
"All right..." she conceded. "You win."
