Shippou
gets the smex talk
"I'm not going to do it, Miroku,
I'm not talking to him about it, your goin to, your more
'experienced' so I think you should be the one to talk to him"
"yes, Inuyasha, but the boy needs all the help he can get,
did you see what happened at the last village? He made a fool of
himself! he had no idea what was goin on, so he needs your help as
well as mine!"
"Nnnnnno."
"Inuyasha, your
going to do it whether you want to or not, or else I'll get Kagome
to make you"
"You wouldn't"
"Oh, but I
would,"
"Keh"
It was the summer of Shippou's
fourteenth birthday and they had just gotten out of a village, along
with a very nasty situation in which Shippou tried to woo a girl and
found he didn't know what to do once he had her.
This had made
a thought occur to Miroku. All that time that Shippou had tried
asking he had always refused to tell him any of it, telling him that
he would once he was older. But now Shippou was older and had
no idea what was going on.
Even after he had gotten a woman to
bear his child, he still never answered Shippou's question of how
it had come to be, for even then, Miroku still thought of Shippou as
a child.
"I'm still not doing it, I'm not going to, it's
embarrassing and I'm not talking about it. Not to him, not to
anybody. So good luck with trying to get me to."
"suit
yourself ... KAGOME!!!"
"NO NO NO I'LL DO IT I'LL DO IT
I SWEAR"
"that's what I thought, now let's go"
They found him near a
creek, staring at the same girl he had made a move on the other day,
from across the river. They noticed something was different about
him, but couldn't quite figure it out, so they just left it there
at that.
The girl didn't know he was there and she was just
getting ready to take a bath.
Miroku laughed silently at what a
good teacher he had become and called to Shippou silently so as not
to disturb the girl.
"Shippou! We need to talk to you about
something"
"Keh"
"what is it? Is this
that talk you said you were gonna give me a couple years back? But
then said I was too young to know at that age? Are you telling me
now? Are ya? Huh?"
Inuyasha snorted and turned around, ready
to go back to his tree where he had sat most of the summer.
Miroku
stopped him by putting his staff in front of him and said "Shippou
needs it!"
"then why don't YOU do it? You're doing
fine!"
Shippou looked expectantly at Inuyasha, then back at
Miroku and said "I don't really care if Inuyasha is here or
not! I just wanna know what tha deal is with those damned girls? Why
are they so nice looking? Why do I always feel like doing something
that I can't even explain? What is that? I mean like HONESTLY, look
at her!" he pointed at the girl across the creek, "She
seems so irresistible! Why? Is that normal? Please tell me it is,
because I don't really wanna be anymore of a freak than I think I
already am."
During Shippou's questioning, Inuyasha had
been becoming more and more agitated, until he could stand it no
more, "STOP WITH THE QUESTIONS ALREADY! Yes it IS normal,
and...and...Why DO girls seem so irresistible?" it had occurred
to Inuyasha that he himself had never got this talk, probably because
he grew up by himself.
Miroku looked at him as he trailed off,
soon merely muttering to himself and asked Inuyasha, "Do you
want me to tell both of you?" they both nodded their heads eagerly,
ready to learn anything he had to say.
"Well, there's a
thing with the birds and the bees and...Wait....I don't know the
answers to those questions either! Like, why do they seem to be so
attractive all the time? Hmm...I never came across anything like that
in my readings...maybe we should go ask kagome"
"why do
you always want to go see kagome eh? Tryin to take my woman or
something? Huh?" inquired Inuyasha, somewhat paranoid-like.
"As you should know Inuyasha, I already have a woman, along
with a child, and kagome is from the future, she should know these
things"
Shippou was struck by an idea and said "she
said something about that before! She has this one class, in that
school of hers, it's called umm...what was it again...smex Ed!
That's what she called it anyways, and she said they talk to her
about this...smex! She only told me that they tell you about boys and
girls, and their 'feelings!' let's go ask her!"
So they all
set off to look for Kagome, and headed towards the forest where they
last saw her.
They followed the creek deeper into the forest of
Inuyasha where they found her, and she was washing the blood off of
Inuyasha's robes, as usual.
Miroku walked up to kagome and
poked her in the side with his staff and asked her "what is this
smex thing that we heard of, but do not really know what it
means? Ummm not that I don't know! But Shippou here doesn't
really know what it is so he was just going to ask!"
Kagome
looked up at him and asked "why didn't you tell him?"
"Cut the crap Miroku, okay kagome, none of us really know
WHAT goes on with a girl, we just do whatever comes to mind, except
for Shippou, cuz he really doesn't know what goes on, but me
and Miroku don't really know why it happens, will you teach
us?"
"well, okay then I guess so but I don't even
know where to start!" she sighed and put the robes up in a tree
to dry, then sat on the ground and gestured them to do the same. They
all sat down and stared at her with wide eyes and waited for her to
start.
