Drabble 6: A Gladioli for Sincerity

Kagome blushed when Renge discussed her mission and her theories. Other girls visiting the hosts joined her. Unbidden, one made a snarky remark.

"A commoner like you should be ecstatic to be noticed by a wealthy boy."

The entire room hushed and waited for Kagome's reply. She stood and gave the girl a look of pity.

"I don't seek attention without sincerity."

Kaoru frowned as she left. What he felt, though unsettling, was real.

-O0o0O-

"There's another flower!"

"Renge-san."

"Here!"

Kagome gently fingered the gladioli's cuplike petals before she looked up its meaning. Azure eyes widened as she read.

"I'm sincere."

-O0o0O-
