Author's Notes: I know a lot of you are waiting for me to update The Untouchable, but I'm finding that very difficult. I joined iy no kakera over at livejournal to hopefully help inspire me to get back to my longer pieces, so please be patient and support my drapples also:)
Title: The Game
LJ Community: iy no kakera
Theme: Set #2, Theme #12 (It is Forced)
Genres: General
Pairings: implied Inuyasha/Kagome, implied Inuyasha/Kikyou
Rating: G
Summary: Kagome and Kikyou have formed an alliance, though they are far from friends.
The friendly smiles, the polite conversations – it was all a game for them. It was easier to think of it that way. It took less time, and they had precious little time left.
They realized that if they could learn to cooperate, great things could be accomplished.
Being together could bring hope to and raise the morale of others.
Being together could allow them to obtain the power to defeat their enemies.
Being together would ease the mind of the one they loved, who worried while they were not near him.
Traveling alongside one another was a necessity. The game just made it more bearable. It gave them a reason to tuck away the pain.
It's for a good cause.
But the game was also blinding them, for all each could see was that the other's kind actions were forced for the sake of the game.
