Kagome sat with Rin, Shippo, and Sesshomaru in the library, researching for their project for the cultural festival. Now, research wasn’t actually required, but Rin and Kagome had been insistent that their project needed to be authentic.
Kagome pursed her lips and flipped a page, wrinkling her nose as she read.
“I can’t believe this!” she said, giggling.
“What is it?” Rin asked.
While the girls looked at the book Kagome was reading, the boys sat in their chairs.
Shippo appeared to be on the verge of passing out and Sesshomaru looked as indifferent as ever.
Sesshomaru, looking for a way to relieve his boredom, lifted his hand and flicked his wrist. There was a flash of light, and an almost inaudible pop sounded.
Shippo sat straighter and looked at his friend.
Sesshomaru’s stared at Kagome.
Shippo’s eyes followed his friend’s gaze and a smirk wormed its way onto his lips.
“Hey, Kagome,” he said. “One of the buttons on your shirt is undone.”
Kagome looked up, before looking down at her shirt. Her eyes widened.
“The button is missing. That’s strange. I could have sworn this shirt had all the buttons.”
Rin shrugged. “It doesn’t matter. Look at this.”
Kagome nodded absently and looked back at the book.
Shippo looked over at Sesshomaru, who had discreetly raised his hand.
Another flick. Another flash. Another small pop.
“That’s strange,” Shippo began, “another button is undone.”
Kagome looked up at him, before looking at her shirt.
“That’s really bizarre,” she muttered.
…
I sort of want to know how their game is going to end.
Poor innocent buttons!
A moment of silence for the lost lives of the buttons.
