InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ One Tenth of a Picture ❯ A Quiet Sunday in Hell ( Chapter 6 )

One more 100-worder. This is Buddhist hell, by the way. Everybody goes there.

A Quiet Sunday in Hell

Miroku's father dealt. "Five-card?"

"Seven," declared Mr. Higurashi. "The TV's necessary?"

"News is on," said Inuyasha's mother.

Shippou's father yelled, "Kikyou, we ante'd you."

"Coming!" Kikyou carried Doritos.

Miroku's father checked his hand. Aces, eights, queen, four, two.

Enough to open. He threw in a yen.

Higurashi raised: aces, eights, jack, pair of sevens.

Inuyasha's mother folded: aces, eights, five, three, two.

Kikyou stared at her hand. No aces. No eights. What the hell--

She glanced at the TV. There on the screen was Inuyasha and--

"No!" she yelled to the television. "Don't say my name!"

And then she disappeared.
