Prompt: Cheat – Riku Ryuu's Random Prompts
Words: 225
OOOOOO
Kagome had always been an honest person. When she saw Kagura throwing wind blades at InuYasha, her thought pattern changed. Every drop of blood he lost made her want to steal another glance at her opponent's hand. She made a wish to play her cards differently for every grunt of pain that escaped him.
Of course, the damage she had caused could not be undone. The shikon jewel had been broken, and she could not turn back time to change that. Her only option now was to keep the last of the shards away from the vile hanyou Naraku. All fragments of the jewel had been collected, and Kagome held onto the ones not held by the half-demon. She was the loser in the dangerous game Naraku played.
Kagome wanted to be stronger and more clever so that she could stand by her friends' sides and not behind them. Her biggest fear was being a burden to them, and she could already see her worst nightmare being played out. Now Kagome just wanted to fight, to win, and to help those she loved, even if she didn't play fairly.
Never before in her life had she wished to be a liar, to train secretly behind someone's back and surprise them. Never before in her life had Kagome Higurashi aspired to cheat, but she did now.
